BY DAVID DIETZ-

THREE planets now shine forth in the night skies
Il of May and before the end of the month it will
be possible to four planets all above the horizon at
the time.
Venus Mars and Jupiter are the three on dis
play Mercury will Join them about May %.
The exceptionally bright starlike object which you
may have been noticing in the western sky during the
past two months is Venus 1t Is the brightest Starke
object IN the heavens and at the present time is five
times as bright Sirius, the brightest of all stars
You will note that Venus makes a small triangle
with two bright stars. These are Castor and PolluX
the famous twins whom the Romans called the
Gemini. The Romans swore by Gemini" and that is
the origin of the modern phrase.
Venus sets about three hours after the sun. The
telescope reveals il to be a crescent. Venus goes
through phases like the moon because 1t shines by
reflected sunlight
Mars. higher in the sky is near the bright star
Spica It is easily found because of its rudy color
and its great brightness II is five times bright
Spica and hence the most conspicuous object in its
own part Of the sky.
MARS was at its nearest to the earth April u.
wi Accordingly the planet is now n excellent posi-
ton for telescope observation. With the aid of the
telescope it is possible to both polar caps. many
interesting markings on the surface Of the planet
and at times clouds in the Marian atmosphere.
Jupiter the largest of all the planets. comes over
the eastern horizon at the time of sunset and grad
uay higher into the sky AS the night progresses
II is white in color like Venus and is surpassed in
brightness only by Venus. On FRIDAY the planet
Jupiter will be al its nearest TO the earth.
MO one should have any trouble in identifying
~ Venus Jupiter and Mars because of their great
briliiance Mercury Is not so easy 10 ind as these
three Il will be visible for few days before and after
Nav IS on which day it is at its fartheSt from the
sun Il will be near the bright star Capella and some
what brighter. Look for Mercury low in the West
Just after sunset
Looking at these other planets. perhaps YOU have
sometimes wondered what our own earth might look
like from another planet let say Mars. Martans-
II any exiSted-would call earth the blue planet
and the twin planet Astronomers are certain that
our earth would appear bluer than do any OF the
other planets.
Because our moon is so large and bright. It IS
probable that the earth and moon. seen close to-
gether from Mars or any other planet, would be
known as twins.

They Picked the Wrong Time

IF it is the beauty of the country that they wish
Il to inspect it will be wise idea to detour them
on wide bend around the industrial cities and
avoid the tinroof territory of the plains although
it impossible to hide from view the traditional
automobile boneyard the outskirts of every town
and the miles upon miles of billboards and hotdog
stations along the highways
There seemed to be something insanitary to the
American way of thinking about the steamng
mound beneath every French peasants cottage
windows with rooster Growing the summit.
But the tourists from the other side might be Just
critical enough to say the same about the green
puddles of stagnant water in the American town
dumps and the rickety squalor of the homes which
always greet the eye the railroad passes through
town
The fact that tourists are now coming from
Europe to visit the United States signifies that the
American is nc longer the millionaire among the
peoples Of the earth It gives wrench to realize
this because for almost 10 years he thought of
the European in condescending way and chinked
his hard money in his pockets with a pompous
sound as he told them that they had a right nice
little country there, barring few primitive incon-
venences.
The idea never occurred then that they would
one day be coming across in considerable numbers
strictly as tourists, to return the visit and check I'D
on the reality. And, now, Of all times to do this
they have to choose moment when the nstalment
guy has just backed up the wagon to take away the
piano and the rugs

Your Health
by DIR MORRIS FISHBEIN

AT the proper food and acquire the habit of reg
II ularity in your hygiene, and you will suffer
very little. if at all, from constipation
If you fail to have an action of the bowels at
least once in "a or 48 hours you are said to be con-
stlpated There are differences of opinion as to
what constitutes normal action of the bowels but
most doctors believe that once in "a hours is the
average
There are of course. some persons who have
two actions daily and others who have three daily
this being normal for them. Such activity however
should not be taken as necessary or desirable for
every one else
There are many causes for failure of the bowels
to act regularly in the manner in which they should
In some the bowels fail to simply because
the muscles of the bowel are relaxed and not sufi-
GENTLY stimulated This is called atomic constpa-
ton
IN most of such instances prevention is better than
cure. Prevention involves development of good
hygiene and a suitable diet.
Most important is selection of a regular time and
insistence on that time without regard to any pos
sibe interference The time usually selected is just
after breakfast since at that time the wastage
teria from the day previous is collected in the
lower pert of the bowel, the stomach is empty and
the taking of food stimulates the intestinal tract
to action
Sometimes the taking of glass of water either
cold or hot, on rising in the morning will help to
stimulate such action. Moreover sufficient amount
of water-from six to eight glasses daily should
be taken regularly to keep the wastage material suit
ably soft and sufficient in bulk
TN of this type addition Of artificial bulk to
the diet generally is considered helpful For this
purpose there have been occasional fads the
Of various substances.
At one time bran was used above all Others then
came agaragar and recently psyllium seeds. All
these acts in about the same manner absorbing
water and additional bulk and thus stimulating the
bowel to action.
1t is also believed that the diet may contain
amounts of fat in cases of this type and sometimes
figs and prunes seem TO be useful.
In selecting diet for this type Of constipation,
YOU should consider particularly the use OF vege-
tables containing large amounts of cellulose, such
as turnip green's Brussels sprouts green beans corn
spinach, lettuce and caulihoweT.

Diaz narrowly escaped death when
ne was kidnapped" by government
agents recently.
His death. which undoubtedly
would have created an extremely
dangerous situation, was averted
AT the last minute by cooler heads
who realized the probable conse-
quences.
Since then it has become known
that the order for the kidnapping %
and assassination came from a
man holding an important gov
eminent post. He can not be re-
moved at this time for reasons Of
political expediency.
Held for five hours in an auto
mobile in a lonely part Of Chapul-
tepec Park in the City of Mexico,

pected to be shot. and spent his
time in praying. Later the order
came to take him to a police sta
ton. and the following day he
was released
In a letter to President Lazaro
Cardenas protesting his detention
as kidnapping" the archbishop
said that the agents who arrested
him-11 in number-told him they
feared he had machine gun in
his automobile.
1T is well known" the primate
added, that the only weapons I
carry are the word of Jesus on my
lips and a love in my heart for
my friends and enemies"
THE fact that the archbishop
Il felt his position secure
enough to protest at all was re-
garded as significant.
The arrest of Archbishop Diaz
was decidedly embarrassing to the
government, which in the face OF
all developments has steadfastly
contended that there is no re-
ligious persecution in Mexico. Anti
Mexican sentiment in the United
States was at its height and the
arrest added fuel to the flames.

officials of the government de-
plore the reaction in the United
States TO Mexico's religious poll
cies. To an impartial observer it
appears that the present attack
on the church and on religion was
entirely unnecessary from the
standpoint of security of the gov
eminent.
There is no doubt that for hun
dreds of years the church OPP
pressed the Mexican people, that
its ministers many times robbed
the poor and helped the rich. 1t

had to be thrown off.

the foreign policy of the United
States.
Time after time, the State De-
partment has outlined a policy
only to have it blasted by Army
and Navy spur janglers who have
taken their story direct to the
White House.
This was the case when Hitler
threw overheard the armament
provisions of the Versailles Treaty.
Secretary Cordell Hull and Nor
man Davis had written note to
be sent to Germany. Gen. Douglas
Macarthur trotted over to the
White House and their missive
was thrown out.
1t was also the case in the ne
gotiation of a new treaty with
Panama. Assistant Secretary Sum-
ner Welles got an advance o. K.
from the White House for certain
treaty revisions. Following this,
the Army general staff hammered
at the White House to reverse Mr..
Welles.
Finally. it was the case in last
weeks blow-up over an air base
near Canada. Just at the time
testimony by Brig. Gen. Charles
Z. Kilbourne was made public
showing that he had inserted a
"camoufaged" air base in the Air
Base Bill. Under Secretary of
State Phillips was dedicating
monument to the treaty whereby
the 5000 miles of Canadian boun-
Diary have remained unfortified for
100 years
Gen. Kilbourne is not an ire
sponsible officer. At the time he
gave his testimony. he was assist
ant chief Of staff in charge of war
plans.
Although his views were de-
nounced by the President, Mr..
Roosevelt gave an even severer
spanking to the Military Affairs
Committee for making public the
testimony.
So what the diplomats-includ-
ing CanadianS-are asking pri-
vately is this: IF the committee
had not published the testimony,
would not the Army have got
away with its camoufiaged air
base?"
Certainly whenever the Army
and the State Department have
locked horns in the past-without
pubicity-the Army has won.

Of education has decreed that all

TAKING advantage Of the sit

brought his Red Shirt legions to

state of TabaSco.
Youths of IS to % years old,
they were given guns and told
that the church was their enemy.
In an encounter in Coyoacan, they
turned their guns on Catholics
coming from church and killed
five.
After one or two defeats in
clashes with students, the Red
Shirts have retired from public
view. but are still active behind
the closed and closely guarded
doors of the Secretaria of Agri-

tage they are carrying on an ac-

campaign by means of printed lit
