son to take Hiram Percy Maxim
this look he would be staggered
by the unbelievable number of
stars. It would be like looking
at the individual grains of sand
on a beach. Next. he would
notice that the stars were not
uniformly distributed. In some
places there are so many that
the eye cannot distinguish
them and they merge into
cloud of soft light.
In other places there are ir-
regular black areas in which
relatively few stars show. There
seem to be great holes through
which one looks into the depths
Of vacant space.
But those black areas are not
holes. It would be strange in
deed, were there "holes" in the
star clouds which only pointed
at insignificant little Earth.
In reality, they are huge masses
of cool matter through which
light cannot shine, thus obscur-
ing the stars that lie behind.
The stars between Earth and
the cool matter are the only
ones seen.
CLOTS OF LIGHT
The layman might then notice
the little clots of light scattered
around. suggesting small il
Illuminated clouds. These are
nebulae, or galaxies, like our
oW-- Mi. y ','ay Galaxy. Were
the telescope to be pointed at
the nearest of these galaxies,
the largest and nearest of their
individual stars might be re-
solved so as to be seen as sepa-
rate stars.
The largest telescope now in
existence. the 10O-inch at Mt.
Wilson, will just barely resolve
a few of these stars on photo
graphic plate after several hours
exposure. The new 200-inch
will collect four times as much
light, and this means four
times the resolving power, which
might make a few of the in
dividual stars Of the nearest
nebulae visible in the eye piece.

|LINVDBERCH CASE
 HAS COST NEARLY TWO MILLIONS
Search for the Kidnaper With Trial Costs TO-
 tailed SI,lSI,OOO

Trenton, N. J., March 13.-(UP) The Lindbergh case has cost $l,- 181, ,0O0, it was estimated today by the attorney generals office.
 The legislature granted $Sb1O6 moro to defray trial expenses, for which 1t previously had allotted $50,OO0. The total cost of convict ing Bruno Richard Hauptmann, Attorney General David T. Wilentz told the joint appropriations com- mittee, was $13O,000.
 The two and a half years search for the kidnaper-slayer of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. brought the sum to $1,18l,O0O, Assistant Attorney GcneI.lI Joseph A. Lanigan figured. He said the federal government had spent $800,000 and New York, city police $25O,00O.
 The stenographers' record of the long trial at Pennington alone, Wilentz revealed, cost $29,000. The Hunterdon county sheriff's bill for jury expenses was $15.00O.
 Hunterdon county, which was unable to bear cost of the big trial as is customary, wanted the state to pay $2,000 for alleged damage to the old courthouse by crowds, but Wilentz ignored the claim, he disclosed.
 Some committeeman complained that exorbitant fees were asked by the states experts in the trial. These were not revealed. Put gen. orally the committee felt, 1t was said, that in view of the results obtained" the costs were reason- able.
 The committee in fact expected further demands. Sen c. E. Loiz- eaux, (r, Union county) recalled that the two Hall-Mills trials cost $2OO,00O. He said the Hauptmann inquiry and trial probably would cost $300,0O0 before the end.

HURLEY SPEAKS
 BEFORE SENATE

Washington, March 13.-UP) J. Hurley, war secretary in the Hoover cabinet, told the senate munitions committee to-day that private capital and man pow CT should be placed on the same basis in wartime.
 Tt Is unjust" he said, "to make one man give up his life while aa- other is making profits" Some people believe" said Chairman Gerald P. Nye, r., N. D., that an other war will help lift us out of the depression That is one of the worst fallacies we have en- countered in our study of this sub ject." Hurley said. 'I am not one Of those, however, who believes the United States has anything to fear in the future. I believe we can survive any catastrophe" He said congress had power to seize all war profits "and put them in the war chest of the nation where they belong.

ANOTHER RULING
 AGAINST MIRA

Newark, N. J.. March 13.-(UP) Federal Judge Guy l.. Fake to. day ruled the national recovery act Is unconstitutional as applied to intra-state commerce, and signed an injunction restraining the MIRA from enforcingg its provisions against Acme, Inc, Jersey City metal fabricators.
 The injunctions restraints the federal agency from enforcing the hours and wages of a code against Acme; from attempting to force the company to pay assessments made by the code authority, and from prosecuting the company for failure to comply with the national recovery act.
 We can arrive at no other con cluusion than that the recovery act Is unconstitutional," Judge Fake said. because it attempts an uun- lawful delegation of legislative authority"

HUEY LONG WAS GIVEN SPANKING
 BY THE SENATE
His Pet Plan to Aid COl- leges Was Buried By
 Brother Members

Washington, March 13.-UP) )- The senate has had its first oppor- tunity to vote on a portion of Huey Longs 'share-our-wealth" pro- gram and has repudiated 1t by an overwhelming majority.
 The margin against Long was 75 to 6 when the senate rejected his proposal to ear-mark $1.000,- students wanting college educa ton.
 Three republicans and one dem- ocrat voted with Long. The result was not so much a verdict on the merits of the proposed amendment to the $4,880,0O0.000 work-relief bill as 1t was reflection of senate antagonism to Long himself.
 Longs "share-our-wealth" pro- gram includes, in addition to the project for free education:
 Possession by each deserving family of not less than $5.000.
 Limitation on personal fortunes
 Old age pension.
 Limitation of hours of work.
 Balancing of agricultural pro- duction.
 Atd to veterans.
 A capital levy tax on large for tunes.
 Long's distribution of wealth bill has been pending in congress for two years but he never before ha6 succeeded in bringing any in- tegral part of it to a vote. ,
 Defeat of the college education proposal had two direct results.
 It administered the worst ''spanking" Long has received ir the senate on clear-cut issue.
 It furnished Long with a cam. paign argument to the effect that his suggestions were not being traeted kindly by the present sen ate and that the public, if inter ested. should get behind his pro- gram

ONLY EXPLORING
 GOLD SUBJECT

Washington, March 13.-UP).- Recent White House discussions relating to gold policy have been merely for the purposes of explor- ing the subject. President Roose- welt explained today.
 The conferences were nothing more than examination of the re- cent supreme court decisions, he said, and no conclusions have been reached.
 The presided added that the dis cussions would continue from time to time on the legal aspects of hte whole situation.
 MT Roosevelt declined to dis cuss the recent break in the cot ton market. pointing out that his observations of last November on methods of gradually reducing the cotton surplus still stood.
 Pressed for Q. reply also on the various messages he contemplates sending to congress, he indicated that he could not yet tell whether additional ones would be sent up to Capitol Hill this week.

 WRITING STORY

Trenton, N. J.. March 13.-(UP) Bruno Richard Hauptmann is writing his life story. his spiritual advisor. Rev D. G. Werner of the Bronx, disclosed today.> .,..
 The minister visited Hauptmann in his state prison death cell yes- terday and came away convinced, he said, of his innocence.
 Hauptmann told him his death cell enterprise was writing the true story of his life but made it clear three was no confession. The con- victed slayer of the Lindbergh baby repeated he had nothing to confess.
 Werner said Hauuptmann was religious but not deeply so.
 From my observation as a min- istre," he added, 'I would say Hauptmann is absolutely innocent of the Lindbergh crime"

LYNCHERS LEFT
 NO CLUES BEHIND

Slayden, Miss. March 13.-(UP) Authorities can take no action against the lynchers of Alb Young, negro, because they have no clues whatsoever to the. identity of so white who hanged him to a road side tree. Young was accused of killing Hardy McKie, 45. high. way worker, Saturday. He was cap. tured by the mob at Roossville, Tenn, near here and conveyed across the state line. He stood on a truck while a hope was thrown over a tree branch and noosed around his neck. The truck was then driven from beneath him.
 Authorities scoffed at the poss- bility of federal action because Young was taken across the state line. A federal law allows the death penalty for kidnapers who take a victim across state line.
