 The Bull
 The great constellation of Orion, is on the eastern horizon at map time and is preceded by another fine group, that of Taurus, the Bull. The most brilliant star of Taurus is the yeiolwish Aluebaran of the first magnitude. The best way of locating this star is by the use of the Belt of Orion. If the imaginary line joining the three stars of the belt is prolonged ups ward 1t carries us close to the posi- ton of Aldebaran. We have here a very large star, a giant, over fifty thousand times the sun in vol- ufne, and emitting ninety times as much radiation as the sun.
 In the field surrounding Aide baran Is a cluster of stars called the Hyades, representing In the Greek mythology the nyInphs who were daughters Of the giant Atlas. These stars form c physically coll- nected group all moving through space together. Aldeharan is not a part of this Hyades cluster. Another cluster group. better known than the Hyades. is also found in the area covered by Taurus; we refer to the famous Plsiades which may be easily recognized. They lie to- Rether in the sky than Aldeharan and are readily visible to the un- aided eye. Possibly no star or group of stars in the entire Armament has been mentioned 0ftener in song

THE HEAVENS IN NOVEMBER
Uranus first Planet discovered with Teiesccpe--rei
 Good Position
BY DIR. CLEMENT s. BRAININ Of the Columbia University Observatory Stan

Saturn and Uranus are the only planets to appear on our evening sky map for November. The for- sner is Q fine evening star through put the month and will be found in the southwestern quarter of the sky, close to the meridian at siin- set. It lies In the constellation of Aquarius. Below it lies the flrst- magnitude star Fomalhaut in pis- ces Australis, the Southern Fish. Saturns ring system is very satis- factorily oriented for observation with e telescope. It is somewhat brighter than Fomaihaut and can be easily distinguished by the absence of twinkling. Uranus is in Aries. the. Ram, and has just passed the opposition to the sun. Unfortunate ly, Uranus is not much of an at- traction either to the naked eye or even in Q telescope. Though it is e large body. much bigger that the earth, 1t is SO far away that 1t appears only as bright as star of the sixth or seventh magnitudes
 It Is thus just on the border line of visibility without Q telescope. Like all other planets, Uranus shines by reflected sunlight only. It was not known to the ancient astrono- iners, for without the aid of . pow- erful glass 1t cannot be distinguish ed from the neighboring fixed stars. If 1t were possible to observe its motion through the field of true stars, the aflcients would have real- ized its real nature as Q wanderer or planet. The first to recognize it's true nature was William tierschei,

North of Taurus and Aldebaran lies the constellation of Aurisa the Charioteer, containing oapella. Q beautiful white or yeilowish white star of the first magnitude. In fact its magnitude Is almost "zer0", which means that 1t is about two and une-haif times as bright as the standard of first magnitude. Its great brilliancy makes 1t easily rec cognizable. The word 'Capella' means she-goat. We would hardly be likely to name one of the most beautiful stars in the heavens after so lowly an animal; but to the ar1- cients, as still>to @ large part of the world to-day, the she-goat was an important source of food and thus worthy of an eminent place in the sky. Three fainter stars close by are known as the Kids. The he-goat Is present in the heavens as Capricor- nus, one of the zodiacal constella- tions, now lying in the far south western sky. Capella is the fifth brightest star in the entire heavens, very nearly as bright as blus-white Vega, in Lyra now visible over the western horizon, which is the brightest of ell stars lying north of the celestial equator. Capella Is iu reality a very much bigger star than Vega, for It's luminosity is over 15o times that of the sun. 1t is much R,skklanr ausaw fNnfn taN than VNnA In fact, nearly twice as far. Capella's
 distance is about fifty light~yenrs. It Is interesting also to note that f uapelIa were only Of solar aite and brightness, it would then appear to Us as a star Of the fifth uinHnlkufe or just about un the border llne ok visibility without telescope.

 Although you're entitled to look upon such a report with suspicion, 1t comes from people who have never been caught lying in the past.

 Certain wisps of information indicate that the job of prepar- ing the letter and distributing it was given to Q commercial orRasai- zaticn which had . large mailing list of clergymen. But the name of the political nitwit who drafted the letter probably won't be known until Roosevelt is out of office.

and story that these. They figure prominently in the Taythological and religions of ell the primitive peo- ples, from Persia, Babylon, and Greece to the American Indians, the Astcs, and the Australian savage.
 TO the average eye this group seems to consist Of seven stars, forming what may Do termed c small dipper: six of the seven stars are easily seen but the seventh is somewhat elusive and has given rise to the fable of the lost Pleiad. However, 1t can be seen on clear nights and people with sharp eye- sight have counted as many as 12 or 13. Tn the telescope many hundreds are revealed in the same starfield. All these form . physically united swarm which is gravata- tional unit, moving together through space. The stars of this group arc of considerable luminosity, the brighter one equalling c hundred suns. We know this to be true be- cause of the great distance of 220 iight-years which serapates them from Us. A star onl as big as the sun ct that distance would Do truly insignificant. It is interesting to note that long exposure photographs show the larger stars Of the Plei- ades to be surrounded by bright nebulous haze of c size and bril- liancy quite unusual among the stars; though 1t is true that ell stars have Q surrounding nebulous envelope as. for example. ths coro- na of the sun.

Quite An Array Of Them

The death of Jeremiah Donovan of Nor walk removed colorful figure from the political life of Connecticut For years he was known in state legislative circles Where he served four terms, one as rep resentative, the other as a state senator. And he also spent term at the national capital representing the fourth district. He retired from state and national poll- tics in 1917 to become mayor of NorWalk, where he served until 1921.
 His passing recalls the days when he was serving in Congress. It was quite memorable period in Connecticut history. He was elected in 1912 in the Woodrow Wilson landslide and served two full terms. The two congresses in which he served were characterized by the presence from Connecticut of five democrats and five Irishmen. That famous quintet was com posed of Augustine Lonergan of the first district; Bryan F. Mahan of the second; Thomas l.. Reilly of the third; Donovan of the fourth; and William Kennedy of the fifth.
 We don't recall that Connecticut had ever been represented prior to that time by five democratic congressman. Certainly 1t hasn't since, for right now with our six congressman at Washington four are dem ocrats and two are republicans and that is the strongest front the Connecticut democrats have boasted at Washington since the 63rd Congress. However, that Irish lineup only lasted for one Congress. Donovan himself only served one term, be- ing succeeded by the famous Ebenezer J. Hill, also of Norwalk.
 The late Congressman Kennedy was succeeded after that one term by the late James P. Glynn of Winsted, republican. Augustine Lonergan was defeated in 1914; reelected in '16 and IS and in 30. In 1882 he was elected the first democratic sent tor in half century. Mahan was suc- ceeded by Richard P. Freeman after one term. The late Tom Reilly finished his second term with the 63rd Congress, hav- ing first been elected in 1910. It was memorable congressional delegation with Senator Lonergan the only one now living.

money interests-it can be proven now. The N-U-S-J would never have had a beginning if it were not for the, radio. Nothing was ever heard of Fr. Coughlin's econ omic discourses in the press until multitudes of listeners forced the press to recognize the leadership of Fr. Coughlin. The newspapers prattle about freedom of the press. What fearlessness has the press shown in attacking the big inter- ests who control their advertising
 The press has an idea that the radio is their competitor. If they only knew 1t, the radio is their friend. The radio made 1t possible for the press to resume its original function, long trampled on, free dom of speech.
 A lot of indifferent people, who are still sitting pretty, with their physical wants plentifully supplied are shouting demagogue and other names at Fr. Coughlin. Fools that they are they know not history or if they do know history they know not how to profit from it.
 The National Union for Social Justice will be attacked most VI. ciously now. that 1t is about to ac- tually become an active orgt,niza- tion. But watch who the at,i kers are. That will tell the sto;y. N-U-S-J. MEMBER.

What're We To Think

Judging by the frequent press releases from the State Highway Department work on the Merritt Highway in Fairfield County is progressing as rapidly as could be expected. Early this week the depart ment sent out story in which appeared the announcement that the state had just awarded the contract for con- crete girder bridge over the Pequonnock River near Trumbull Center. It is the third bridge to be built on the proposed express route through the county.
 At this rate something is certainly being done to bring about the realization of many years hopes. But if we were to pay strict attention to what the general public of the county is reported as saying nothing has been done on the high way construction and it is dead issue. All we manage to glean from what is re- ported in the press is that the people of the county are dissatisfied with the way the road is being built and want more action.
 It would seem as if Highway Commis- sioner Macdonald would be conferring a great favor on the entire state by report ing the activities of his department to date on the Merritt Highway. We would like to know, for example, if the state has acquired a sufficiently right of way from beginning to end of the proposed boulevard. We should like to know if he has definitely decided on the type of road way he will build. At one time it was said one-half of parkway would be built now, allowing traffic to pass over it in both directions, the other side of the park way to come later.
 There are many things like that, if they were announced publicly now, would go far towards making us realize the size Of the undertaking and what tremendous financial burden it imposes on the hign- way department We certainly think that some such announcement covering the entire history of the Merritt Highway would be appreciated by all of us, certainly by people living outside of the county who can't make themselves heard with the pro- testations coming from within the county.

To the Editor Of the Democrat:
 In your issue of April 18th some one who signs his letter I'M. A. Cashman" demands that I apol- ogize for what he characteriZes as my "unwarranted remarks" at the testimonial dinner given by the Jeffersonian club to Lieutenant Governor Hayes.
 Why I should apologize to some- one who was not present at the dinner for something l did not say cannot see. I did not call the members of Father Coughlin's Ma tional Union for Social Justice 'imbeciles." I did say that they were inarticulate. After reading MT Cashman's letter I must withdraw that adjective. For his information about what I really said I refer him to the news story of the dinner as it ap- peared in the Democrat on April 18th.
 For his education I would call to his attention the advice given py the occupant of berth to the sleeping-car conductor who shook him out of a sound sleep because his snores were disturbing the other passengers.
