Vice President of Alaska S.S. Co.,, and Party De-
 part Alter Week in City

After spending the last week m the vicinity of Juneau, acquannt- ing himself with conditions pre- vailing in this section of the Ter rjtorv. the Alaskan people and the nersonnel of the local office, Thomas B. Wilson, who recently accented the position Of vice. President and General Manager of the Alaska Steamship Company, left for his headquarters in Se- attle on the steamer Yukon last night.
 MT. Wilson made no announce ment as to the future policy ot the company except to say that the Alaska Steamship Company has been serving the people of Alaska for many years and that he expects to offer them the best possible service in every way. "Whila my trip to the Territory at this time was necessarily brlef, it was made primarily to get ac- ouainted with the people of the country and to establish the friend ly relations which are necessary so that both our patrons and the company will receive the greatest satisfaction. We hope to give Alaskans satisfaction in their transportation facilities and if they will cooperate with us l am sure it will result in a happy and friendly relation" MT. Wilson de- clared.
 MT. Wilson hopes to return to Juneau and to visit the Westward and Interior districts of Alaska within the next month or six weeks, though the accident to the steamer Aleutian and the resulting changes in schedules may make il necessary for him to delay the trip It is possible that Mrs. Wilson will accompany him on his next trip north.

Collector of Bottles
 Looks for Color, Dates

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 29.- It is not what is in bottle or what has been in it that interests c. L. Hooberry, collector, but its color and where it was made.
 A bottle made in America 100 years ago is worth more than one made in England at the same time. His most prized is one of the old Virginia blown variety, 125 years old. Red ones and those of clear blue are prized.
 The practice of making bottles into lamps and using them on the whatnot shelf spurs the collectors to find all the old bottles they can. Bottles used to be turned out in special issues, such as stamps are today. Presidential campaigns used to call for special bottles, often with the candidates s picture blown or molded into the glass.

MISS MARY PULLEN HERE ON WAY TO KODIAK WHERE
 SHE TEACHES IN SCHOOLS

Miss Mary Pullen, who has been spending the summer with her grandmother, Mrs. Harriet Pullen, at the famous Pullen House in Skagway, arrived in Juneau on the steamer Alaska to make connection with steamer bound for the Westward. Miss Pullen teaches in the Kodiak schools and for the last few years has spent her vacations in Skagway. She will visit in Ju- neau until the departure of the next westward bound steamer.

HUMBERT SOFTENS
FASCIST ENM|TY
Crown Princes Goodwin
Gestures Eases Fear
for Future.
BY Cable to The Star.

BY Cable to The Star.
ROME, Italy, February signs o
q friendlier attitude on the part o1
Crown Prince Humbert toward the
Blackshirt regime have recently beer
multiplying. If these signs are trustwor'
thy, Italy's future King will get along
much better with the party than had
been feared he might, and in that
event, Italy,s future will be considerably
brighter than otherwise it would be.
Prince Humbert's two most recent
gestures of good will toward the party
have been his review of the Fascist
militia in Naples on the tenth ami
versary of the legal recognition of the
at Winter sports organized by and for
Fascists at Asiago.
Pinned on Decorations.
Not only did the heir to the throne
review the militia, but he went beyond
this gesture and himself pinned decora-
tionS on honor men. Afterward he
sent message of congratulations to
the commander of the militia, plus a
suggestion for remission of disciplin-
ary punishments in effect at the time.
III the paSC IL mas Deen generally De-
heved that Prince Humbert has been
much less sympathetic tward the regime
than his father, King Victor Emanuel.
This belief has given rise to countless
lurid rumors of the sort which thrive
in Rome.
A few years ago a favorite rumor of
scandal mongerS was that the crown
prince had slapped Premier Benito
Mussolini during a palace reception.
Lately the most popular story has been
that the BlackshirtS detested the prince
SO thoroughly that means would be
found to prevent him from ascending
the throne or that the King would alb
dicate in favor of his son in an attempt
to forestall plots of the party to pre-
vent the ascension of Prince Humbert.
Belief Widespread.
The Importance of such reports has
been not their accuracy or inaccuracy,
because their has been little question of
their great improbability, but the indi-
cation they gave of a widespread belief
in friction between the prince and the
party.
If Prince Humbert continues to show
signs Of friendiness toward the regime
the whole country will breath a sigh
Of relief and believe that, if and when
he comes to the throne, he will be able
to cooperate with the Blackshirts, if
they are still in power, as well as his
father has.

the difficulty lies in the facts them
selves, not in our suggested explanation
of them.
Actually our explanation relieves the
difficulty little-but not much. The
time of 1000 million years was calcu-
lated by tracing back the present mo-
tions If we admit that they have been
produced gradually by cosInical repul-
sion, they must have been smaller in
the past, and the earlier stages OF the
expansion occupied longer time than
we have allowed for.
But, after making this allowance, It is
scarcely possible to place the beginning
of the universe at more than 10000
million years ago. This is a blow to
certain more or less plausible theories
of the evolution of the stars which
attribute to them ages of the order 10
million million years. Seventy years ago
Lord Kelvin strongly urged that the age
OF the sun cannot be more than 50,000,-
900 years. We laugh at this limit today.
Perhaps a future generation will laugh
at our limit of 10000 million years. We
can speak only according to our present
knowledge.
HAVE said that current theory omits
to tells us the amount of the cos>
mical repulsion; so that we are guessing
when we assume that it is the right
size to produce the dispersal of the uni-
verse which we observe. 1t would be a
highly probable guess if there were no
possibility of explaining the dispersal
in any other way-so that if cosmical
repulSion were insufficient we should
be at our wits end
But current scientific literature
abounds in explanations" of the Dis

extensive nor SO accurate as we might
wish. 1t is also pointed out that what
we actually observe is "red-Shift of
the spectrum" and although such
red-shift is usually caused by receding
motion of the object, it might possibly
be produced by some other cause. All
can say is that if the red-shift in this
case is not due to recession, it must
be due TO some unknown circumstances
of which neither theory nor observation,
has given US any hint.
I suppose that all scientific in
felenCeS might be upset by "entlrely un'
known circumstances" and there seems
no reason to raise this bogey especially
in connection with the expanding uni
verse. notice that in the most recent
general Catalogue of Radial VelocitieS
the results for the spiral nebulae are
given under the heading Apparent
Radial Velocity" instead of the heading
"Radial Velocity" used for all other
objects. This will seem commendable
caution to some; but to me it sounds
like the caution of the clergyman who
wrote to his wife: II shall be home
ID. w. on Friday, and in any case by
Saturday"
Turning to the theory due mainly to
Prof w. de Sitter and Able G. Lemaitre,
it is a necessary consequence of the
principle of relativity that there should
be, in addition to the ordinary gravita-
tional attraction between bodies, re-
pulsive force which we call "cosmical
repulSion" This is far too small to be-
detected in a small-scale system such
as the solar system; If detachable at all,
it will be manifested in the largest scale
system possible. 1t is of just such a
nature that if it acted on system of
galaxies at rest 1t would make the system
expand uniformly-as we observe. The
Evening star., 1933-12-03

mutual attraction of the galaxies tries
to hold them together and might in
certain circumstances counteract the re-
sion gets the upper hand it will keep it;
because as it drives the galaxieS farther
apart, their mutual attraction will
weaken and offer less opposition to
expansion.
THUS, observation tells that the uni
verse is expanding, and theory tells
US that there is force tending to pro-
duCe just such an expansion So far,
so good. But there is still some doubt
whether the theory has anything to do
with the observation; because the cur
rent theory omitS to tell how large
the force Of cosmical repulsion is. And
If we have no idea of the size of the
effect predicted, it is rather a big jump
to identify it with the first thing we
encounter that looks at all like it. I
will come back to this point.
Now I must mention the one great
difficulty about the expanding universe.
It necessitates time-scale of evolu-
ton which seems very short, according
to modern ideas The universe is expand
ing; therefore, if we look back further
and further into the past we find it small
er and smaller. Tracing backward the
present motions of the galaxies, we find
them closer and closer together, until
we come to time rather less than 1000
million years ago when they would be,
so to speak, all on top of one another.
That seems to date the beginning
of the whole system less than 1000
million years ago. There is fairly GER
tain evidence. that the earth is as old
as sithat, so that we are perilously near
theory which makes out the earth to be

-HE observational facts which
suggest an expanding uni
verse" can be stated briefly.
Outside our own great galaxy
of stars there are millions of
other galaxies which are seen by us as
spiral nebulae. These are moving away
from us almost unanimously. The more
distant they are, the faster they are
running away; the speed Is approx.
mately proportional to the distance At
the greatest distance yet reached in
our survey the speed is $4,000 miles a
second, but presumably we snail In
due course be able to measure the still
speeds.
If we plot this distribution of veloci-
ties it is not difficult to see that the
galaxieS are running away from each
other just as much as they are running
away from us. The motion is not di-
rected away from any special point;
it is a uniform dispersal in which all
mutual distances are increasing in the
same proportion. We thus have an
expanding system of galaxies, or-since
the system of the galaxies is all the
universe we know-an expanding uni
verse. Thus we may say that the ex-
panding universe is Straightforward
fact of observation. Whether it has
always been expanding and always will
expand is another question:
A THOUGH this conclusion is widely
~ accepted, there is skepticism in
some quarters; and it must not be sup
posed that regard this skepticism en-
tirely with contempt. The data on
which we base this great generalization
data obtained by wonderful skill and
perseverance at the Flagstaff and Mount
Wilson Observatories- neither SO
