Not only in the stars but the sun as Well speaks
of the approach of spring. Each day the sun rises

Leo the celestial lion low on the eastern horizon
during the winter months, has not climbed TO the
place of eminence in the southern sky formerly held
by Orion, while over the eastern horizon, Glrgo
and BooteS have now made their appearance
To find Leo look in the southern sky, rather high
above the horizon, for a group of stars which re-
semble sickle The end of the handle of the sickle
is formed by a very bright star. This is ReguluS.
The sickle forms the head of the lion
A little to the east is another bright star. This
is Deneboa which, with several nearby faint stars,
is supposed to for the lions tail.
TITO the east of Leo low on the eastern horizon.
Il is the constellation OF Virgo or the Virgin.
On ancient star APPS she is represented as beautl-
full young girl with angel-like wings sproutng from
her shoulders
The constellation is identified in ancient mytho-
logy with Ceres the goddess of the harvest.
It might seem strange at first that conStella-
ton whose appearance in the sky heraldS the ap-
proach of spring should be identified with the god
desS Of the autumnal season. The point is that
this constellation, which appears in the east in
spring travels across the heavens during the sum-
mer and disappears below the western horizon in
autumn.
We Will look near Virgo for that other herald of
spring, Bootes. The name is pronounced in three
syllables Bo-oteS all Of the vowels being given the
long sound.
You will find Bootes equally low the horizon,
but 70 the northeast of Virgo. The brightest star
in this constellation is ArcturuS. An easy way TO
find Arcturus is TO continue the of the handle
of the Big Dipper until it almost touches the horizon
in the northeast. 1t will lead directly TO Arcturus
The Gig Dipper with the faint stars near it
forms a constellation known Ursa Major, or the
Great Bear. Since Bootes lies Immediately behind
the Great Bear it natural that Bootes should be
known as the "bear-driv

APPOINTMENT System Dangerous

A ND it seems to me that danger lies in the pro-
N vision that supreme court justices shall serve
for life or at least through good behavior We have
men on the court who definitely and unswervlngly
represent political and economic point OF view
that has been repudated by vast majority OF
voters.
The hand of Harding, the hand of Coolidge and
even the hand of Hoover have not been wholly writ
ten out of the picture 1t seems to me an utterly
ridiculous situation in which a very small group OF
. derlv gentlemen left from some dlscredlted
administration can have vital say in the matter
of acting as traffic cops to slow up or speed the

people being gone, He remained
by Himself to pray; so that the
night came on, and the disciples
were still rowing on the water in
their boat, wondering when Christ
would come. Late in the night,
when the wind was against them
and the waves were running high,
they saw Him coming walking to-
wards them on the water as if it
were dry land. When they saw
this, they we're terrified, and cried
out, but Jesus said, 1T is I, be not
afraid" Peter, taking courage,
said, Lord, if it be thou, tell me
to come to thee upon the water"
Jesus Christ said, "Come!" Peter
then walked towards Him, but
seeing the angry waves and hear
ing the wind roar, he was fright
ened and began to sink, and would
have done so, but that Jesus took
him by the hand, and led him into
the boat. Then, in a moment, the
wind went down. and the disciples
said to one another, 1T is true!
He is the Son of God!"
Jesus did many more miracles
after this happened and cured the
sick in great numbers; making
the lame walk, and the dumb
speak, and the blind see. And

five small barley loaves, aid two
little fish, belonging to lad who
is among us. What are they,
among so many?" Jesus Christ
said, Let them all sit down."
They did; there being a great
deal Of grass in that place. When
they were all seated, Jesus took
the bread and looked up to
Heaven, and blessed it, and broke
it, and handed it in pieces to the
apostles, who handed it to The
people. And of those five little
loaves, and two fish, five thou
sand men, besides women and
children, ate, and had enough;
and when they were all satisfied,
there were gathered up twelve
baskets full of what was left. This
was another of the Miracles of
Jesus Christ.
NUR Saviour then sent his
~ disciples away in boat,

would follow them presently, when
He had dismissed the people. The

realtor caught five hundred-pound sailfsh after
a battle lasting several hours. There was picture
Of the fish and of the man. But the supreme court
decision really was more important than Huge

It is probably Just vital to the new deal as
was the Minnesota mortgage case. Under pressure
the court is constrained to say that human rights
are of greater moment than property rights. But
this attitude was affirmed only by vote of to 4,

go away" And he went away quite
we'll.
Many Jews saw this; and when
they saw it, they hated Jesus
Christ the more: knowing that the
people, being taught and cured by
him, would not believe their
Priests, who told the people what
was not true, and deceived them.
So they said to one another that
Jesus Christ should be killed, be-
cause he cured people on the
Sabbath day (Which was against
their strict law and because he
called himself the Son of God.
And they tried to raise enemies
against him, and to get the crowd
in the streets to murder Him.
But the crowd followed Him
wherever he went, blessing him,
and praying to be taught and
cured; for they knew He did
nothing but Good. Jesus going
with his disciples over a sea,
called the Sea of Tiberas, and sit
ting with them on a hillside, saw
great numbers of these poor peo-
pie waiting below, and said to the
apostle Philip, Where shall we
buy bread, that they may eat

Your Health
by DR.. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

THE tobacco you smoke may not affect your
L health in the least, put before it reaches you
the same tobacco must go through a long series of
publications. not only for your benefit but for the
benefit of those and women who work in this
industry.
The modern manufacturer in the tobacco indus
try protects the worker by number of simple pro-
cedures. In the first place proper exhaust devices
withdraw the poisonous dusts from the air.
Employees instructed to wash their hands
before and after handling the tobacco so as not to
carry around the dusts upon their fingers.
In many plants the employees wear clean smocks
or gowns each day while at work With such over
sight ever the health of the employee it is possible
in most instances to prevent any permanent damage
to health.
NEILD tobacco contains about l to 2 per cent of
WI nicotine, and strong tobacco from to 10 per
cent. Workers in the tobacco industry, therefore,
are exposed constantly to the danger of contact
with this substance.
The persons who raise tobacco do not suffer from
nicotine poisoning, because the nicotine is liberated
from the tobacco only by fermentation. The peo-
pie who sort the tobacco leaves may nhale the DUST
and during the fermentation tomacco they breathe
injurious fumes
The skin and the mucous membranes Of the
body, when in contact with wet tobacco develop an
irritation.
lime and sand may develop irritations of the lung
and although workers in coal develop black condi-
tons of the lungs there is evidence that workers
with tobacco suffer any more from tuberculosis and
other diseases Of the lungs than do workers in any
other trade.
T~HOsE who contract poisoning from tobacco may
Il develop sudden form of intoxicaton with
symptoms, pains in the heart, disturbances
of the bowels and congestion in the brain.
Sometimes they have irritation on the back
Of the hands. Sometimes the hngernails come on
and the edges of the nails become very thin. 4

current causes
his body to sizzle before it crashes
to the floor. Safely on the other
side of the gate, the hero and
heroine steal away from the
CHASTITY scene. This is the extreme
in the realism of thrills and shocks
on the sound screen. This is one
of the highest powered death
movies I ever have seen. At least
seven people are killed before your
very eyes.
An unknown host sends myster-
iouS messages to eight prominent
men and women in New York City
and invites them to a great pent-
house.
Each guest has something to
hide from the others and several
are well-known political enemies.
The surprised guests suddenly
hear a voice over the radio telling
them that unless they outwit the
voice all will be dead before mid
night.
Escape is impossible because all
the doors ana WIDOWS are charged
with a death dealing current. The
first one who tries to escape per-
ishes as did the villain at the end
of the story.
When this mad party is over. six
of the guests have been killed or
have killed themselves. The voice
doing all of this killing is telling
his victims who will be next.
The story. of course, is far
fetched and terrificaIy unreal. 1t is
melodrama of the most lurid
school.
The photography and direction
are all right. The object is to
shock you out of your chairs and

days eating little, he took from
his disciples seven loaveS and a
few fish, and again divided them
among the people who were four
thousand in number. They all
ate, and had enough; and of what
was left, there we're gathered up
seven baskets full.
He now divided the disciples,
and sent them into many towns
and villages, teaching the people,
and giving them power to cure,
in the name of God, all those
who were i'll. And at this time
He began to tell them for he

he must one day go back to Jeru-

one man to read and understand all of this matter
and get any work done in the course of a day
1t would be very depressing to Mr. Hoover to
walk through his beautiful commerce building now
adays and notice the change.
The auditorium has big, square stage with an
art-map of the world painted on the three walls
above the wood paneling. There is a row OF expen-
sive blueeather conference chairs along the walls
and in the middle of the stage two tables with
microphoneS on them. Robert w. Lea, the deputy
administrator, sits at of the tables and the
meeting which is attended by a full house. Smok-
ing is permitted the atmosphere is stuffy and
some of the business men drowsy a. they sit
and listen to continuous tale of woe.

Some Wisecrdcks, Too

ONE brisk young man hops up on the STAGE
~ stretches out his neck toward the microphone
and explains that it is just impossible to guarantee
any wages at all to the kind of sales-people who
pedde goods in the house toulouse line because so
many OF these people work only in their spare time
and so many of them also handle half-a-dozen
kinds of merchandise.
Yet, other firms employing outside statesmen who
make regular business of selling and handling only
one line asked to guarantee their men a mini
mum wage. So you have one of those jams right
there. If you compel our busting young friend on
the platform to pay his part-time sales people a
minimum wage you will put his kind of business
house out of business and that, he adds with snort
and glare out over the crowd is precisely what the
big retail dry-goodS people want to do!
What kind of merchandise is he interested in?"
Il am" he explains, Ralph E. James of the corset
and braSsiere code authority and smoker runs
over the attendance, interspersed with whispered
explanations of 20, Boy!" and mo wonder they
work for nothing"
Then another one gets up and hollers murder
because the government wants the construction bust
ness to raise wages and reduce the hours at the same
time that the government is carrying on construc-
ton work at short wages and inferior pay
