The shrine is some- thing that Mrs. Colicchio made through her own efforts and hundreds of local and out of town visitors are said to have already viewed it. Included among the features of the shrine are a large sized picture of the Blessed Virgin Mary crucifex, lighted candles and the flowers in the foreground.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, October Is
A major discovery of the worlds larg-
est telescope, that 500.000000 slight
years away out to the horizon of its
sight there is not one sign of void
in any direction. was described last
night at Yale University by DR.. Edwin
P. Hubble of Mount Wilson ObServ-
atory.
This entire space is filled with
nebulae, numbering 100000, 900, most
ly swarms Of stars travelling like bees
swarming in flight. In these far-of
swarms the telescope detects iron,
hydrogen and calcium, the same sub
stances familiar on earth.
1t detects nothing whatever to fore
cast how much farther man must see
to find any frontier of creation, or
even to find anything startlingly diff
ferent.
THE observable region of space" "
DR.. Hubble said, ''is a vast sphere.
perhaps thousand million light years
in diameter. Throughout the sphere
are scattered hundred million neb-
ulae - stellar systems in various
stages of their evolutionary history.
THE nebulae are distributed singly,
in groups and occasionally in great
clusters, but when large volumes of
space are compared, the tendency to
cluster averages out. To the very
limits of the telescope the large-scale
distribution of the nebulae is approx
imately uniform.
"They are scattered at average in

500 Million Light Years Fail
To Indicate Any Void in Space

tervals Of the order Of two million
light years, or perhaps 200 times their
mean diameters. The pattern might
be represented by tennis balls, SO feet
apart"
No individual stars can be seen ex-
cept in the very closest nebulae. But
the great l00-inch telescope is able
to estimate the number Of stars by
the total light, to weigh the total mass,
and to gauge the sizes of the swarms.
The average light from one of these
nebulae is equal to 85,000.00O suns.
The size of the nebulae ranges from
1900 light years diameter of swarms
which seem round like a ball, to TO-
600 light years diameter for forms
which have unrolled into open spirals.
But If all the solid matter compos-
ing these vast swarms were divided
to dust and spread evenly through the
immense space the 1O0-inch telescope
can see, the result would be about one
grain Of sand per volume of space
equal to the size of the earth.

TITLE TO ISLANDS
DEFENDED BY J.. S.
State Department Denies
British Claim to Reefs
Planned as Air Bases.

Title of the United States to three
sand-strewn coral reefs in the South
Pacific Ocean, just colonized at the
lnstitgation of the Department of
Commerce, is "unquestionable," it was
said by State Department spokes-
man today
The statement was made after pub
lished reports Great Britain might
conceivably have rival claims to the
island, all of which are held necessary
as bases for air commerce between the
United States and Australia and New
Zealand. The report, according to
State Department sources, was based
on the fact that the islands appeared
on a British map as British posses
sions. The islands, however, are
marked as American territory on
United States maps.
Claims of the United States Gov
ernment to the tiny specks of land in
the South Sea date back to 1856,
when. on August l8, Congress listed
the three islands as American pos
sessions. The Islands-Jarvis, How
land and baker-are now occupied by
Americans This fact, according to
the official viewpoint, clinches Amer
lean claims Possession, it was assert
ed, is nine points of the law.
Four HaWaiians of American blood
have been sent to each of the islands,
it was stated. The "colonists" were
sent to the islands when it became ap-
parent by the flight of the Pan-Amer-
ican Airways clipper to Wake Island
and Guam that additional bases would
be needed for the air route.
Discovered 100 Years Ago.
State Department records show
Michael Baker, an American, claimed
discovery of both Jarvis and Baker
Islands. the former in 1882 and the
latter in 1885. He revisited Baker
Island in 1889 and claimed it for the
United States. George E. Netcher
discovered Rowland Island in 1912.
Its possession was claimed by the
United States in 1857.
The first British claim to Jarvis
Island was not made until 1885, when
the British ship Cormorant visited it
and raised the flag of England.
All three of the islands are barren
strips of sand washed upon small
outings of coral reef. but are ideal
for the purpose for which they are in
tended-air bases-it was said by the
| department.

NEW DEAL POLICY
Democrat Answers Letter

Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated ffcSS.
ATLANTA, October 15.vRev. Henry
Stiles Bradley, for more than 40 years
a minister and Democrat, today
wrote President Roosevelt: MY obser-
walton Is that there has been a tre-
mendous revulsion of feeling toward
you because people believe you have
played fast and loose with funda-
mentals."
The minister, in replying to the
Presidents request to clergymen for
counsel and advice, listed the fol-
lowing points of criticism of the New
Deals chief and his administration:
Faith in Word Gone.
81. have come with great reluc-
tance to a complete loss of confidence
in your pledged word.
90. have lost confidence in your
economic judgment.
"3. There has been widespread
lowering of moral standards since you
took Office, and think much of the
blame for it must be laid at your
door.
"a. I think your policy of the doles
is demoralizing
IS. Your discrimination against
successful business has made me sus-
pect that you were making a bid for
popularity with the discontented.
Constitution Views Alarming.
IS. Your attitude toward the Con-
stitution has alarmed me, and, in
view of your oath to preserve, protect
and defend it, has also shocked me-
~. have been alarmed also at
your ready acceptance of almost die
tatorial power.
."8. My observation Is that there
has been a tremendous revulsion of
feeling toward you, because the people
believe you have played fast and
loose with fundamentals, and that
unless you change you are headed for
defeat"

A stock can have too much drop

lem confronting school officials
now studying overcrowded condi-
tons at Shortridge. according to
George Buck, principal.
Admitting the housing situa-
ton at the North Side school may
not be as acute as that in one or
two other city high schools, Mr..
Buck, nevertheless, is emphatic IN
his statements that more class
rooms are needed.
He points out that Shortridge
opened in 1923 with adequate
facilities for 1000, while the pres
ent enrolment is 3447. Study
halls are OVERLOOKING and classes
generally are much larger than
state regulations permit. In one
or two cases, classes of nearly so
pupils are necessary.
THE teachers cafeteria, in adj
Il dition to being used for debat-
ing. is also utilized for bookkeep-
ing and for marketing classes.
Housing students in roll rooms,
or home rooms, is one of the great
est difficulties at Shortridge. The
chorus room. constructed as an
auditorium with seats not at all
adaptable for writing, has been
pressed into service as a roll room.
The school library and students
cafeteria are also used as roll
rooms.
A storage room in the basement
is now a projection room for
visual education and health edu-
cation and home nursing classes
also meet there.
Girls choruses convene in the
Reserve Officers Training Corps
department and mechanical draw
ing groups assemble at the jewelry
laboratory in other oddly contrived
makeshifts Shortridge officials
have been compelled to arrange.
THE r. o. T. C. unit at Short
Il ridge is Handicapped severely
by the fact that almost all its in
struction is necessarily only theo-
retical. No parade ground is
available and all drills and ma
neuver must be on the thorough
fare adjacent TO the school. Be-
sides being inconvenient to stu
dents. this procedure has been
frowned upon by city officials as a
traffic hazard.
Fear has been expressed that,
unless suitable provisions can be
made for practical R. o. T. c.
training. the unit may be with
drawn.
Limits placed on number of
classes. particularly in tipping,
cooking and machine operation,
have prevented many students
from taking such courses. No
additional class rooms are avail
