Wonders of the Heavens.
The Milky WAY,

LVV YHAT is the Milky Way?
wv IT, e sss!s ~" y are ss' among tn.
questions which school
pupils have asked me after my talks In
the field Of astronomy.
!. The Milky Way is great and beauu-
full belt Of star-stuff which extenos
across the sky. You can see 1t best
on a clear night when there Is no
moonlight. It is, for the most part,
faint and misty; but packed within 1t
are some of the most amazing things
upon which men have turned tneir
telescopes.
when the air above city is laden
with smoke, 1t is hard to obtain q gooo
view Of the Milky Way; but in the pure
air of the open country it is slgnt
which is hard to forget.
In the Milky Way are millions upon
millions of stars. The heavens IN that
direction are packed so thickly with
light from stars and star clusters that
we can make out only few distinct
stars
You might turn your eyes from the
Milky Way, and start counting the ols-
tinct stars you can see outside 1t. That

YOU can see 5000 stars, outside the
Milky Way and without the help OF
telescope, your eyes are sharp indeed.
With q good telescope, millions OF stars
will come into distinct view; but am
speaking of those which can be seen
without the help Of any glass.
When you bring back your gaze to
the Milky Way. do not advise you to
try to count the stars in it. Even II
they were distinct, you would be tired
long before you numbered the first hum
dred thousand.
If you have a pair Of opera-glasses,
by all means spend time looking
through them at the Milky Way.
In olden Egypt. people tried to ex-
plain the Milky Way with, this story:
THE goddess Isis was carrying wheat
across the sky when suddenly mons
ter began to pursue her. She ran to
escape, and as she did so she dropped
grains of wheat along her path; and
this wheat became the Milky Way
That story may lave been good
enough to satisfy ancient folk. but it
does not satisfy US. We know that the

"It's so heavy, Il would take . der.

In the story of its name, the derrick

To be successful in making

1t does not improve puff pastry to work
In very much dry -four.
Flour for making puff pastry should
first be dried in the oven ana tnen
sifted twice. Baking powder is only
required with the palmer kinds OF
pastry, in which small proportion OF
fat is used. With large proportion
of fat, baking powder is not required,
as the bursting of the TAT globules In
the oven aerates the pastry sufncientiy.

would like your opinion"
Answer: It Is a question of the law
of proportion. With low bases, II very
massive, the height of candles could be
increased up to about 80 per cent of
the counterbalance in weight. (This
balance is, of course, one of optical
sensibility). Obviously the higher the
candlesticks, the taller the candles
should be-supposing. of course. that
the diameter Of the candles is in scale
with the strength of the candlesticks or
candelabra. Very weak branches or
stems necessarily require very slender,
If not short, candles. Obviously, a
foundation must, in appearance as well
as fact, support whatever is put on it.
For any one to suggest that tall candles
be put In short candlesticks and short
ones In tall candelabara Is very much
like advising that a childs hat be put
on q man and mans hat on a baby.
In other words, a complete reversal OF
the law Of proportion, which Is pri-
mary law of classical beauty.

Dipped Cakes.
Dipped cakes are usually dipped in
fondant, and some of the frosted
squares Of cake, which are made from
light crumbly mixtures, are filled,
masked with jelly, and then placed on
wire trays, which are set in another
pan, and thin warm water icing Is
poured over these cakes, instead Of Dip
ping the cakes with a fork. The fon-
dant should cnlv be heated to about
IS degrees F. Overheating would de-
stroy the gloss. The dipping must be
done carefully. Cakes and decorations
should be simple Cut the cakes small
and make perfect in form.
Orange Novelty.
Remove the crusts from six slices OF
white bread. Beat two eggs slightly,
add one-fourth teaspoonful Of salt two
tablespoonfuls Of sugar, and three
fourths cupful Of rich milk. Dip the
bread slices in this mixture.
Place the slices in pile on a shallow
dish, pour the remaining liquid over
these, and let stand until the bread has
absorbed all Of it. Brown the slices on
a well-buttered griddle Spread some
butter on six slices Of orange. Broil for
five minutes, turning once. Place

Book Donations Asked
During Library Week

2 Mayor H. d. Thorp has named the
week of March 20 as Library week
for Redwood Falls. All residents are
asked to observe the week by donat-
ing to the public library any books
which they do not need or care to
keep.
Demands for reading material
have increased far in advance of the
financial ability to buy books in the
recent years. Increased unemploy-
ment has resulted in a greater amount
of time for reading. Books of recent
date, as well as older books will be
a definite help to the library patrons
and such gifts will be greatly appre-
ciated.
Donors finding it inconventient to
bring books to the library are asked
to call the public library and the
books will be collected.

TARIFF TREATY 0. K.
Administration Considers Re.
qeusting Powers Before
Drafting Changes.

By the Associated Press.
With the administration well
launched at its new program OF COM
mercial tariff bargaining, possibility
arose yesterday that 1t might 60
through with the plan. abandoned at
the last session of Congress, Of seeking
congressional authority in advance to
make treaties involving mutual tarif
reductions.
The question has an important bear
ing on the prospects for mutually ad-
vantageous agreements toward which
the United States is already negotiating
with Colombia and Brazil. Argentina
and other Latin American countries are
to follow, and Portugal and Sweden
also are on the list.
Pan Still Alive.
Since blanket authority to conclude
such treaties was not sought from the
last Congress because Of the crush OF
matters before 1t at the end of the
session. it had been supposed the idea
had been abandoned and that each
treaty would have to obtain separate
congressional approval before becoming
effective
The latest information in this re-
gard is that the plan is still alive and
undoubtedly Will be discussed Wnen
President Roosevelt talks over American
foreign policy with his Secretary Of
State, Cordell Hull, next week
A regular treaty reducing tarin must
pass through both Houses Ike a law, as
in the case Of the Canadian reciprocity
treaty Of 1911.
II the administration has authority
in advance to negotiate such treaties,
supporters of that procedure feel the
possibility of filibusters would be elimi-
mated or minimiz-d
Could Act Alone.
The legislation considered would pro-
vide that II Congress did not reject a
treaty within certain period Of time
1t would 60 into operation.
At present tariff changes of as much
as so per cent may be made by a
President on the findings OF the Tariff
Commission. When the administration
decided not to seek its blanket au-
thority from Congress last June. some
ofiicial quarters said 1t might be pos
sible to make the tariff agreements
under this flexible tariff" provision OF
the present law.
