the state stands to make substantial

clean balance, probably less that it

will grow, because trade picks up

The highway fund grew slightly
over May. There was a cash balance
May l, of $14,476,555.69 and that
grew to $14,623, 835.27, about $15O,OOO
during the month. The cash balance
in this fund July l, 1885, was &c.
651, 517.25. The state Democratic
platform pledged further reduction
in. the cost of automobile license
plates. And that will take small,
perhaps a considerable sum, from
the fund. Receipts for the II months
OF the fiscal year reached 500, ;
966.74, and disbursements of $24,-
179,648.72. Cash in the treasury and
reserved for account June l, was

debt has been reduced, without any
help from the accumulating retire.
ment funds, to $167 1880 The net
debt with these credits is millions

Scientists Study
Exploding Star

The exploding star in the moth
eastern sky last week mystified
astronomers by adding iron to the
blazing stuff it hurled out into space.
The iron appeared in the spectrum
bands-color pictures of the stars
light-observed through Yerkes OBJ
servatory telescopes as the star grew
brighter.
The metals significance was diff
fcult to explain, DR.. Otto Strive,
observatory director, said. DR.. Oliver
J. Lee, who also was watching the
star at Northwestern University's
Dearborn observatory in Evanston,
Ill, added that Iron was not unusual
in normal stars but was not seen in
novae like this one.
If enough new date-such as the
appearance of the iron in the spec
trum-can be obtained from these
explosions in the making" scientists
may get definite clue to the cause
of the blow ups.
Exploding stars are 1000 year
old mystery. The ancients called
them novae in the belief they were
new heavenly bodies. They were
seen as early as 1855 B. G.

France Makes Ready
There are four vital new factors
in the 1886 model of the European
war machine:
i. Intensive mechanization.
2. The nation goes to war 100
per cent.
8. Quicker mobilization.
4. The phenomenal progress OF
the military aerial arm.
The most highly mechanical
army may overcome mere numer-
ical advantage of the enemy.
France, with its 20 to 80 mil.
lion inferiority in population
against Germany, is attempting
to develop a military mechanical
superefficiency. France believes
if it can attain a 10 per cent SUI
periority in mobility it has less

COgs in Civilian Ranks
The 1888 war machine being
oiled has as many cogS within the
civilian population as in the
army.
The disciplined forces extend
to the docks, the factories, the
laboratories, to the banks. Even
the newspapers, the pulpit, the
radio, the screen-media for bull
warking the spiritual support Of
the warning nation-are classified
as part of the tote 'itarian mill
tary machine.
Entire nations will fight entire
nations in the next war. The
totalitarian war machine calls for
an active professional army-the
shock force. The trained reserve
comprises the remainder Of the
nation-Some to bear arms, some
to take their places as skilled
technicians or unskilled military
