|, due to the two closely placed stars, Castor and .Pollux, of about equal
 brightness. The latter star lies to-
 ward the south and is slightly the
 brighter. Castor Is the moro inter- esting of the two, however, for the telescope reveals the fact that 1t is
 really composed of more than one component star. Two stars of about equal brightness are easily seen in even a small telescope and another nearby star also belongs to the same system. Furthermore each of the three visible compon. ents is itself a double star system so that we have in Castor, in re- aiity, 0 six star system. The double nature of the three componcnts has
 been revealed by the spectroscope as they are too close for separation
 even with powerful telescopes.
 For the past few months our
 evening sky unfortunately has been
 lacking if planets but from now on
 we shall be able to show both
 Jupiter and Mars on our nine
 o'clock map. These two planets are
 close to each other in the eastern
 sky but can be readily distin-
 guished from one another. Mars is
 marked by its reddish hue and is
 not nearly so bright as Jupiter,
 which is the brightest object in the sky next to the sun and moon. It
 is even brighter than Sirius. A very
 interesting set of observations
 which any amateur can conduct is to observe the movements of these two bodies relative to each other and to the star-fieid, for the next two months. The last two weeks of February will present US with an opportunity to observe Mercury as q morning star. It should be look cd for just before sunrise over the eastern horizon. A

The Great Hunter, Orion. lies close to the meridian with It's Sword belt of three stars almost in horizontal line. At our conventional map time the Belt is about half-way from horizon to zenith; 1t is thus easily recognized and can be used as a guide for further identifica- ton of important stars and con- stellatlons. The three stars of the Belt arc of equal brightness. the inner one almost exactly midway between It's outer companions. They are all Of Second magnitude and have individual names in addition to their regular constellation designations of Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta Orionis. beginning with the most westerly star. Their respec- tive names arc Mintaka, Anilam,. and Alnitak.

Its preemincnt brightness to us Is due, of course. to the fact that it is one of the nearest stars In the sky; It's dis tance Is only nine light years. Sirius has n small white companion star, which adds very little to the total brightness of the system for 1t would take about three hundred such stars to match the sun.
 On the other side of the Milky Way, to the eastward from Sirius and somewhat higher in the sky Hes Procyon. Alpha Canis Minoris, the Lesser Dog. This star like Sirius, Is a double star having a companion which is smaller than that of Sirius. It is interesting that the two stars Rigel and Aldebaran. mentioned before, also are double star systems. This Is quite com mon phenomenon and Is by no means to be regarded as exception al.
 The constellation of the Heav- enly Twins, Gemlni. Hes north of Procyon. An imaginary line drawn from Rigel through Dotelgueze leads almost directly to this con- stellation. The name Is, of course,

CITY MORATORIUM
LAWS ARE OPPOSED
Chamber of Commerce Com
mittee Against Extending
Bankruptcy Jurisdiction.

Proposed legislation to extend the
bankruptcy Jurisdiction Of the Federal
Government to municipalities and other
political subdivisions of States was op-
posed by a special committee which yes
terday submitted its report to the board
of directors of the Chamber OF Com
merce of the United States.
At the same time, the committee
backed other legislation in Congress pro-
viding "the Federal bankruptcy laws be
amended so as to extend to those
classes of private corporations which
are subject to bankruptcy jurisdiction
such provision for corporate debt read
iustment as will prevent undue obstruc-
tion by minority interests, expedite set
Elements, reduce expenses OF adminlstra-
ton, and, in general, promote the pest
interests of both debtors and creditors. "
Robert v. Fleming. president of Riggs
National BANK, headed the committee.
Position of Committee.
On the subject of local government
bankruptcy legislation, the committee
said: ''No action should be taken that
destroys or inpairs the integrity OF
municipal obligations.
"While recognizing the acute f1nan-
cial situation facing number OF munic-
ipalities, due in part to unusual condi-
tions in business and in part to govern
mental extravaganza, the committee,
nevertheless. believes that under present
conditions defaults can be averted with
few exceptions by economy and EN-
cheney in local governments, and 1t rec
ommends the retention OF every proper
incentive to decrease materially the
present high rate OF governmental ex-
penditures.
"That any proposal to allow munich
pality to obtain moratorium, eltner
under Federal or State laws, is unsouno
in principle, would increase tax delln-
ouencies, encourage municipal defaults
and should not be resorted to under any
circumstances"
Favored by House Committee.
On the contrary, utilizing of Federal
bankruptcy courts as way Tor dls-
tressed municipalities to obtain debt
adjustments was favored yesterday pc
fore the House Judiciary Committee by
a number of witnesses representing
huge holders of city bonds.
Representative Wilcox, Democrat, OF
Florida. sponsor of composition bill,
said the National Fraternal Congress OF
America, whose members own more
than $1,000, 100000 of municipal Sc
curities, had telegraphed him favoring
his plan.
Bruce D. Sheppard, actuary for the
Association of Life Insurance Presl-
dents, whose companies own $50O.000,-
900 Of municipal bonds, said the asso-
ciation was not advocating any particu-
lar legislation, 'but If Congress wants
to act, we prefer the Wilcox BILL"
The Wilcox measure would permit.
with the courts approval and that OF
75 ner cent of the creditors, adjustment
of municipal debts by cities unable to

This measure has the support OF
