It was the queens gossipy tongue which we have to thank for this pretty fairy tale; the King played but a minor role in the story has rather minor part In the heavens, at least, as far as the naked eye is concerned. Cassiopeia. the lady in the chair. lies to the north of Perseus and Andromeda; 1t is a very easily recognized con- stellation since 1t Is shaped like a wv" or an "M," depending on the time and season. At this time of the year it is nearly overhead at map time and is more like an "M." The Great Dipper and Cassiopeia lie on opposite sides fthe pole star and at about the same distance from the latter. At present the dipper ia low over the northern. horizon. Cepheus lies in the area between Cassiopeia, Polaris, and Deneb in Cygnus.
 A group of fourth magnitude stars which are easily visible on clear night lie almost on atstraight line joining Deneb and the nearest star of Cassiopeia, the one which marks the lower end of the first stroke of the "M." Of these, the star nearest Cassiopeia Is one of the most famous stars in the sky in spite of its lack of brilliancy: 1t is Delta Cephei. the original type star of the Cepheid variables. These stars are true variables of q periodic nature. Their variation is not due to an eclipse pheiiome- non like that of Algol, but to an actual change in the physical com ditions of the stellar surface. They are single stars not binary sys- tems. Their changes are also of regular periodic nature.
 The Planets e
 Mercury will be visible as . morning star on the last few niorn- ings of the month since 1t reaches greatest western elongation on November End. Venus too. is a morning star now; 1t is>very bright and rises about three hours before the sun. On the 18th 1t attains maximum briliiancy for the. pres- ent period. Mars Is an evening star throughout the month, as is also Jupiter. The latter is well visible in the early days of the month but toward the end it will be Goo close to the sun. Saturn, of course, continues as q fine ob- ject ip the evening sky. It is in the constellation of, Aquarius in the fuoutheastsrn quarter of the sky.

The observable minim afor this month occur at the following times: On the 9th at 4:10 a. m., on the 18th at a. m.; and on the 14th at 9:50 D. m. The other seven minima of the month are not 50 favorably timed. The given times are all in Eastern Standard time. In this star the variation of magni- tude is due to a periodic partial eclipse of the brighter component of the double star system by it's nearly dark companion. In the field occupied by Perseus there are a number of fine clusters, which a field-glass or small telescope will readily pick out. Among these is Messier 34 lying between Alpha Persei and Gamma Andromedae. A careful study of this region will be amply repaid by the finding of numerous interesting objects.

 A cartridge may be fired off in an, emergency. Of course, then, 1t loses fits value, but 1t also loses weight. A salt bar may get wet, with sirnilar results. A Maria The resa thaler remains under all con- ditiofls one of the best examples of sheer weight ever invented by man. r

FARMERS UNITE
 AS MINUTE MEN
Accurate Information and Concerted Action is
 Objective

Des Moineg, Ia., (UP)-Farm- CTS of Iowa are mobilizing a mili- tant army to be known as Min ute Men," to assist in protecting agricultural interests against any crisis. More than 15,000 men will be organized before December said Charles P. Hearst, president of the Iowa Farm Bureau, which is sponsoring the movement.
 When the Minute Men are ready for action, there will be nine of their number in each township of the state, according to Hearst.
 This new division of the farm bureau will act as "a flying wedge" to present accurate information on the national agricultural pro- gram to farmers in each county.
 Through them," Hearst point ed out, agriculture will have a working army which can obtain more concerted action when prog ress made by organized agriculture is threatened by privileged inter ests'.'
 During the past four months more than 0 dozen counties have been organized. The farm bureau reported 80 counties, which unani- mously favored the Minute Men" organization at a recent meeting, are mobilizing forces. There are 99 counties in the state.

The latter group lies eastward of Pegasus and its distinguishing aspect Is a slight ly curved line of bright stars, three in addition to Alpheratz.

Calls Recklessness In Use
Of Cars a Species of Crime.
MarIen E. Pew of Editor and
Publisher Regards Auto
mobile Accident Problem
as Part of This Ruthless
Age - Condemns Coarse
Individualism.
HOLY COMMAND IS CITED

"It Is my view that the continuing
slaughter and manning OF human
beings on the streets and highways
Of this country is part and parcel OF
our bewildered, ruthless and un-
spiritual age" writes Marlen E. Pew.
edi; n Of Editor and Publisher and
the Fourth Estate, in a booklet on
the ,affic situation published by the
Travellers Insurance Company.
GAS a people, we do not hold in
high respect the holy command OF
all ages and Of all religions: Thou
Shalt Not Kill. We do not even honor,
in practice, the common tenet OF all
civilized peoples that mans first
duty is to protect his neighbor as
himself.
"These structures are not based
upon condition that is unavoidable,
for it is we'll established by now that
high percentage of motor acci-
dents might easily be prevented. We
kill thousands and injure approx
mately a million men, women and
children, every year, because at
bottom the average driver and
pedestrian figuring in such accidents
is either himself reckless or is the
victim of another reckless person.
Results Discouraging
"For years I have witnessed the
more or less apathetic and stagger-
ing attempts of government. Fed
eral and local, to cope with this hor-
ror and / have seen the efforts of
many worthy organizations, social,
political and economic, to stem the
bloody tide. The results are bitter
ly discouraging. Nothing has been
said, nothing done, which has any
meaning to the brazen motorist who
is more intent upon arriving at his
destination through the exercise of
coarse and inhuman individualism
than he is to conserve decent safety
for the lives of others, or indeed, his
own precious hide. 1t Is q kind of
madness, which historians of the fu-
ture will regard as Of a piece with
the daredevil spirit of the American
people in this age.
II believe in fighting this monster
realistically, which calls for laws to
make motor driving a serious re-
sponsibility, with reckless guilt
made personal and highly ex-
pensive; I believe in preventive
measures Of the most rigid nature,
demanding that no person shall take
the wheel except as he has quail
fed as a driver; I believe In the
policing Of roads and streets and

Here, friends, is mighty job that
advertising did! "How?" you ask. Well,
here is the answer.
First, because the early automobile
makers used advertising to explain the
motor car to doubling public. People
soon learned that the automobile was
real idea-the advance agent Of new
age.
Second, because sales of automobiles
began to come when advertising got
people interested. AS sales grew, COM
peting manufacturers struggled to give

strict and uniform traffic rules, re-
specting not only speed and safe
driving rules, but the upkeep of car
efficiency, entailing regular inspec-
tion and the condemnation of dangs
erous vehicles and also roads;
favor the limitation Of heavy truck
traffic, both as regards number and
size; many lighting methods are
now inefficient; / favor the limita-
tion Of speed at the source, which is
the automobile factory; I favor
system of scheduled fines for viola
tions, calculated to discourage reck-
lessness and rule from the road
persistent violators; I favor the
bonding Of persistent violators to
insure the collection of damages; /
favor the continued lavish expedi-
ture of public funds for good roads
and for traffic control.
Shames Civilization
eff men will not respect the lives
Of others, or their own, they must
be put under arrest and that is the
condition we are facing in this
country today. The appalling cas-
ualty list shames civilization, ex-
ceeds all reason, violates all the
laws Of God and man. It is right,
of course, to go on trying to incul-
cate the spirit Of safety and inspire
and educate drivers and pedestrians,
but the present condition is such
that patience may lack virtue.
For once we might go to the root
of this evil, as people demanding
that it be brought under control by
the same forces that we use to COM
bat other anti-social conditions
which fill our world with needless
dangers, suffering and grief. Reck-
lessness is a species of crime and
should be so regarded in reference
to automobile driving and pedestri-
anism. Unavoidable accidents are
bad enough, but the ever rising
tide Of death and injury which traces
directly to individual irresponsible
ity and lack of law and order, should
arouse public Indignation"

Third, because public demand for

Think what the automobile, made
popular by advertising, has done to i'm
