while working on New York mate
rial last winter. His blue ulster
was admired by up-StaterS because
it Just wrapped around. No but
tons. Clothiers sold several with
out buttons at a higher price than
ones with buttons on the strength
of the fad. It turned out later
that the reason Mr.. Baldridge
wore his that way was because the
buttons had fallen off and he
had forgotten to ask his wife to do
something about them. 4

yarn in hot weather?
We all know what does happen

if Mr.. Byrd can make some things

R1ghC now, you can see PelCler' S
Comet with he naked eye on any
clear night, and on Tuesday, it
will reach its brightest illUmina-
ton as far as we earth-dwellers are
concerned.
For, on that night, it will be
closest to this planet, and with 10
trouble at all, with no binoculars
or opera glasses or field glasses,
or even telescopes, you will be able
to see the comet in all its blazing
glory.
N But for all that. it doesn't now
and on Tuesday won't look like
any ordinary star, not like the
stars you feel like raising your
hand to touch on these warm, clear
summer nights.
It appears as q fuzzy ball Of
light, or, as scientists say in their
more direct language, a hazy star.
And the reason for that is that
all comets have a tail, and this
particular comet has a tail that
trails along behind in such q man
ner that the tail is what we see.
Nearest Approach
At the time of its nearest ap-
preach to the earth on Tuesday,
the comets tail will be oriented in
space almost directly away from
the earth, or directly behind the
comet, with the result that the
tail will appear not to have any
appreciable length.
All of which brings up the queS-
tion of whether there is any dan
ger of Peltier's Comet colliding
with the earth, and the astron-
omers say, emphatically:

On Tuesday. the comet will be
gin its retreat from the earth,
after being just about 100000
miles from the earth-which may
seem like a lot of miles to you,
but to an astronomer it is prac-
tically no miles at all.
When it was first discovered by
Leslie c. Peltier. an amateur
astronomer of DeIphos, Ohio, on
May il, it was about 100000
miles from the earth, but moving
as it does at almost Is miles per
second, it is virtually a nextdoor
neighbor.
But astronomers have evidence
of other occasions when comets
have been in head-on collisions
with Mother Earth, and there are
scars on the earth's surface TO
prove the contacts were not gentle.
There are three such scars. One

were probably made by stones
forming the head OF the comet.
There is another testimonial to
such q collision In Siberia, where
q meteor struck in a forest in 1908
and, it is believed. because the
comet is now not visible, that II

EXTRA HOCKEY tilt
SWEETENS GOLFERS
Unexpected Survival of Maple
Leafs in Cup Series Means
Additional $50, 900.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TORONTO, April l1.-Toronto's SEN
sational victory over the Detroit
Red Wings in the third game of their
Stanley cup series on Thursday night,
meant the mere matter Of 10000 extra
dollars to the Leaf management.
That is the sum that was expected
to be collected for the fourth game
of the series tonight. and it would be
a fine poke to draw as a farewell to
the game for another year in Toronto.
The Maple Leafs still are the under
dogs as far as the cup is concerned.
The Red Wings had won five straight
play-off games before Thursday night S
encounter. They had swept their
series with the Montreal Maroons to
take the league championship and
then had moved down the Leafs in
the first two encounters for the cup.
That third period uprising that saw
the Leafs come from nowhere to
balance a three-goal deficit and then
make short work Of the proceedings
in the overtime was something that
was hardly expected. even from the
fighting Leafs, who never are licked
until the last buzzer has sounded.
Even should they win tonight, they
would have to win the final game in
Detroit next Tuesday.
Judging by the advance sales,
crowd of 14,500 likely will see the
game tonight. The Thursday night
crowd was 1892.
