The formation of the moon itself is believed to
have come about as the result of portion of
the earth's molten mass flying off into space.
Experiments have shown that a molten mass,
revolving at the rate of 'the moon around its
axis in two hours" results in pear-shaped or
dumbbell-like FORM which, by continuous spin
ming thins off until it breaks off at the handle.
Study the figure illustrating this theory that
appears on this page.
Many persons do not know perhaps that
Jupiter, Mars, Neptune and Uranus also have
moons. Jupiter has eight, Mars has two, Saturn
has ten, while Uranus, 1S0,000,000 miles distant
from the sun, has four moons that differ from
all other satallites in that they revolve back

Lengths of the months and days will increase,
say savants The days will overtake the months
until they are both over 1900 hours or about 55
of our present days. Then not only will the
moon always turn the same face to the earth,
but the earth will always turn the same face
toward the moon. They will move along together
through space as though they were strung
a rigid bar!
This conclusion. however, need not worry
creatures of this day and age, obviously. But
for those of us who wish to rest concerning it
within ourselves and our own individual direc-

"An right" said the Brahman. "Il kindle

Immediately the fire was built. the hare

The moon is, next to the sun, the most i'm
po~tant of all the heavenly bodies to the in
habitants of the earth. Owing to the variety of
it's changes and the more rapid phases of its
relative position in the sky it holds unique
calm in the starry heavens, while in brightness
it far outshines all the planets and all the stars
TO an observer one of the nearest planets
the earth and moon must look not unlike
beautiful double star, the earth seeming far
brighter than Venus and the moon outshining
Jupiter.
The total surface of the moon is about equal
to the combined area of North and South
America. while the face it always keeps toward
the earth Is slightly greater in area than Russia.
There is widespread belief that the moons
changes in some way influence the weather.

These, as a rule, have been named after cele-
brated persons, usually scientists.
These vast, circular-shaped craters are sup
posed by some persons to have been of volcanic
origin. To others they have been formed by ex-
plosions of great accumulations of gas in the
interior.
These tremendous holes vary in size with
diameters of from one-half mile to a hundred
miles, The walls sometimes reach as high
10000 feet, formations .aat are rare on the
earths surface. The largest, in Japan, is not
more than seven miles in diameter and does
not attain great height
THE origin of these formations has caused
much speculation The most reliable theory
so far advanced concerning them being that the
craters of the nature of burst gaseous
bubbles; theory, scientists state, that does not
require the presence of water to be plausible.
For at the time of the formation of the craters,
it is said that the moon was without water or
vapor. fact that eliminates volcanic activity

National GaAery's New
Schedule OF Shows
Announced

|the Chicago Society Of Etchers,
from November 2 to 90, the Di-
vision of Graphic Arts will show
a group of color etchingS by
women artists from this section
of the country.
One of the artists, Miss Lesley
Jackson, is of Washington, while
Miss Gabrielle deV. Clements and
Miss Ellen Day Hale are from
Baltimore, and Miss Margaret Y.
Hoyt, from Herndon, Va.
This November show promises
to be a fine show, because OF the
relative rarity of color etchingS,
and because of the known ability
of the women represented.
From that point, the exhibitions
will be as follows: Morris Henry
Hobbs, of Chicago, from Novem-
ber 80 to January 3; Polly Knlpp
Hill, Florida, January 4 to 81;
John E. Costigan, New York, Feb
ruary l to %; Charles B. Keller
California, March to %; F. K
Detwiller, New York city, March
20 to April 25, and Peggy Bacon,
April 26 to May %.
Peggy Bacon is the famous New
York artist whose caricatureS have
received so much attention and
praise in recent years. Her Satiric
sketches of famous men and
women, particularly those in po
Mical life, have come to be recog
nized not only for their crafts
manship but also for their wit and
! humor.

Plans for the 1936-37 season
were announced today by the
Division of Graphic Arts OF the
Smithsonian Institution.
The announced schedule prom
ises well for month-by-month ex-
hibitions of etchings by artists
from all sections of the country,
and demonstrating what is being
done in the print world by mod
ern artists.
Planned by R. P. Tolman.
curator of the Division OF Graphic
Arts and acting director of the
National Gallery of Art, the sea-
son begins october S with an
exhibition of work from the Chi
cago Society of Etchers.
The etchingS to be shown then,
for a period lasting until Novem-
Der /, comprise a collection OF
some 200 prints recently given as
to the Smithsonian by the
society. These prints represent
the work of the Society's mem
bers over a period Of about two
years, the collection being made
up of prints entered in the so
ciety's annual prize contest and
other etchingS known as "diplo-
ma prints"
These latter prints very fre-
quently represent some of the
finest work of young etcherS, be
cause of the fact that they are
the ones submitted to the society
when etchers seek admission.

by 1858 there were more than 800.

Although South's high card hold
ing was nothing tremendous, his
opening one-club bid was very sound,
particularly in support Of spades.
When his partner responded with
two spades, a slam-forcing bid, South
naturally was justified in becoming
bullish, and accordingly, when North
also showed the heart and diamond
aces, South was tempted to bid seven,
but finally decided to jump to six
only, knowing that his partner would
read that as a grand slam invita-
ton. We do not believe that North
should have bid the grand slam, since
even though his partner might hold
the ace Of spades. he had no reason
for knowing that he also held either
the king Of hearts or absolutely
solid clubs.
incidentally, advocates of artificial
ace-showing conventions will point
out that seven could never be reached
with this particular hand by a part
nership using these conventions. And
yet. giving East the king Of spades
instead of the ace, wholesale ace
showers would surely reach seven
and still be down one.
We do not blame East for doubling
with the ace Of trumps. but now
South got really brilliant. Knowing
the double must indicate a sure
trump trick, he simply bid seven no
trump. hoping that the sure trump
