SOLAR REALM LIKE
DOT IN BIG CITY,
Milky Way in Which Man
Lives One Among Thou
sands, Says DR.. ShapIey.

Man lives in the metropolis of Gre
alton.
The milky way galaxy. the aggrega-
ton of billions of stars of which the
solar system is an inconsequential unit,
is the "big city" among the thousands of
galaxies that dot the vast expanses of
space, according to a report to the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences here from
DR.. Harlow Shapley, director of the
Harvard College observatory.
The milky way galaxy includes all
the visible stars. Until few years ago
1t was supposed to constitute the whole
of creation until 1t was found that the
so-called spiral nebulae" were inde-
pendent galaXies, roughly comparable to
1t in size and many thousands of light
years away from its farthest bound
aries. There were thousands of these.
The whole great aggregation of the
heavens visible to man was suddenly re-
Vealed as an inconsequential part of the
totality of creation and the limits of
time and space were increased thou
sands of times.
Little Known of Galaxies.
All that was known of the spiral
nebulae galaxies, however, was that they
were roughly comparable in size. They
were so far away that little could be
found about them and some aStrono-
merS maintained that few of them, at
least, might be even larger than our
own galaxy, itself of such proportions
as to dwarf the imagination. DR.. Shap-
ley, however, has been measuring the
size of these great star systems and
finds that for the most part, they are
small cities or even villages of stars
compared with the great metropolitan
center of the milky way galaxy.
Search among 1850 largest members
in rs groups Of galaxies," he says, fails
to reveal any objects at all comparable
to our galactic system. If such galaxies
exist they must be extremely uncom-
mon"
The largest, he finds, are only about
halt as large as the milky way galaxy.
This leads to important considerations
concerning the size of creation and the
distribution of matter throughout space.
His calculations, on the basis of the
new discoveries, show that space is
probably considerably thicker than has
been believed in the past few years.

E|CHT 7 LIVES

FLINT, Mich, Aug. 3. U.R)-
Eight known dead and more than
$1,500,000 in ruined crops and dam
aged buildings was the toll today
of the two storms that swooped
down on Michigan and Illinois
communities late yesterday.
The eight dead were in Michigan.
Damage there was estimated up
wards of $1,5OO,O00. In Illinois,
tornadoes caused at least 100000
damage in three counties but took
no lives.
A 1OO-mile wind, heavy with
rain and hail, leveled buildings
without electric light or power most
of the night. Flint was the hard
est hit.
M. G. Willett and his l0-year-
old son, Bobby, were drowned in
Cass Lake. Mich.
Charles Van Blaircoum was killed
near Detroit when the wind blew
his car from the road.
Mrs. o. w. Pickard, 38, and her
two children, Lucille, II, and Jerry,

TWO OTHERS
INJURED BUT
NOT FATALLY
Arthur Stewart Of Los Angeles
Instantly Killed When Head
Flies Off Air Compressor.
BODY is BADLY MANCLED
H. R. Atkins And Vincent Mul-
key Escape With Compare
lively Slight Injuries.
BODY IS BADLY MANCLED

Arthur w. Stewart, 35, a driller
working on an artesian we'll being
drilled at the Holtville water plant
was instantly killed shortly before
noon today when an air compress
or being used in the drilling oper-
ations exploded.
H. r. Atkins, engineer in charge
OF the compressor was badly in
jured and Vincent Mulkey, another
driller, received a severe scalp
wound and sundry bruises, none Of
which are thought to be serious.
Atkins was taken to the Valley
hospital, Holtville, where. it is said.
the extent of his injuries are at
present unknown but it was ex-
pected he will recover. Mulkey Is
under the attention of DR.. o. l..
Webster.
AS far as can be ascertained the
accident happened as the three
men were standing by the head of
the air compressor tank of the
drilling apparatus. Suddenly, with
a detonatlon that was heard all
over the city, the head gave way
striking the three men who were
directly in its path.
Stewart and Atkins were carried
about 25 feet by the head after
which the missile continued on its
course another rs feet coming to
rest in "a small clump of bushes.
cutting down young tree before
being finally stopped.
Stewart IS body was badly man.
gled and is at present at the Field
Funeral home in Holtville, where
the inquest is TO be held. Little is
known about him but from letter
found in his pockets by A. R. I'm
derWood, county coroner, it was
learned that he has a sister resid-
ing at 43O812 Dalton avenue, Les
Angeles.
The air compressor was the prop
erty of the irrigation district, it
was learned, and had been loaned
to the city of Holtville for the pur-
pose of drilling the we'll to relieve
the present water shortage.
Inquiries among bystanders fol-
lowing the accident as to the cause
of the tragedy brought answers that
in all probability it was due to over
compression. Faulty compression
was also given as a cause, some
saying that oil which filtered into
the air tank raised the compress
sion to such degree that the ex-
plosion was inevitable. That an
investigation should be launched to
determine the exact reason for the
explosion was the opinion expressed
by others.
The tragedy brought the drill
ing operations to an end for the
time being and cast a pail over
the city. Citizens could be seen
standing about in groups discuss
ing the accident and numerous in-
quiries were made at the local hos
pital concerning the condition of
the two injured men.
Inquiries at irrigation district
headquarters in Holtville shed lit
tie light on the accident outside of
what was apparent to all who yis-
tied the scene afterwards.

SAY RADICALS
MOVING HERE
Communist Leaders Reported
To Be Flocking Into Califor-
MIA To Stir Up Strife.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 8. U.H-
Communist leaders from eastern
cities are swarming to California
with the avowed purpose of To-
menting further industrial strife,
state authorities said today.
Prominent members of the radi-
cal group have arrived in this state
to direct reorganization of Com
munist ranks, b a dly shattered
through jailing of known agitators
by local police throughout Califor-
mia, according to reports reaching
Clarence S. Morrill,, chief of the
bureau of criminal Identification
and investigation.
According to our information
said Morrill,, "these leaders Of the
Communist movement have brought
along high pressure organizers to
take the places of those known agi-
tators now in California jails. These
organizers plan an intensive cam
paign among industrial workers
with the ultimate objective of an
other general strike.
"The San Francisco strike, our
reports indicate, was looked upon
by the Communist higher-ups as
merely "a rehearsal. The next
strike, according to their plans, is
to be a real one'.'
Movement of the nationally
known Communist figures into CAL
ifornia has been going on for the
past two or three weeks, Morrill,
said. Among those said to have
arrived recently was William z.
Foster, one time presidential candi-
date. Activities of the organizers
is not confined to any one sec
ton, but is scattered throughout
the state, Morrill, added.

manded today in kilograms to
Frances Perkins secretary of labor
from the San Francisco Chamber
of Commerce. Junior Chamber and
Industrial association.
The chambers wire character
lied the activities of Communists
here as "the gravest crisis in our
history" and recent strike out
breaks as "a revolution of violence
and terrorism"
In language equally as strong,
the Industrial association demand
ed speedy deportation action
against accused aliens.
