When she had disappeared into the
shed, he leaned reflectively out of the
wheelhouse window and watched the
evening crowds. Slowly. amazement
spread over his ruddy face. The pas
senger line seemed to have been
switched. invisibly. to the Kwanice.
Men and women fiocked aboard the
silver whale, and the carline out in
the street was longer than ever. His
rivals upper deck became a colorful
crowd of men and women.
''Now. what in !! he said to
himself. A few passengers struggled
onto the Chinook. The clock in the
ferry tower chimed the hour. The
Kwanice. with a record crowd. blew a
blast on her horn and slowly backed
out of the dock.
Lovett showed the telegraph over
and followed his rival out. He passed
the Kwanice as she was turning and
then. giving the wheel to his mate,
slipped out onto the almost deserted
upper deck of his ship. He leaned on
the rail. moodily regarding the on
coming streamliner. As she came
abreast he could see that her saloon
was filled with a milling crowd. The
faint strains of a band came across the
dark water between the two surging
ferries.
Then. to his astonishment. he saw
his daughter, her arm thru that of
Jerry Dean. appear in the brilliant

Are these ghost" stars in the
celestial universe youthful bodies feel
ing the first fervor of stellar youth,
later on to become brilliant stars like
our sun or Antares or Sirius? Or are
they stars that have gone so far down
in their decline of life that they are
giving out just a last faint glow OF
stellar radiation before they pass into
oblivion?
Are they large stars a million times
bigger than our sun, like Betelguese
that shines in the constellation of
Orion these winter evenings. and faint
merely because they emit so little
light? Or are they perchance really
very much brighter. but 50 small that
they rank among the tiniest Of our
dwarf stars, and at distances 50
remote that we were not able to see
them at all until the discovery of the
supersensitive red film?
These are some of the questions that
will be answered by further research.
But it is interesting to note that even
the by-products of an amusement in
dustry may extend the boundaries of
mans knowledge in the universe Of
stars.

Ghost Stars in the ieovens

oR the motion picture industry
to discover or produce new
stars in its own field is ordinary
news, but when the demands Of
Hollywood result in the remarkable
discovery of hitherto unknown dark"
or ghost" stars scattered throughout
the universe, that is a very unusual
by-product of the motion picture
industry.
Believe it or not, it was sound film
that led to the modern astronomical
theory of the expanding universe.
How did all this come about?

and the steady beat of the engines.
A footstep sounded along the.
Chinook's deck. A deck hand thrust
folded evening paper into Lovett's
hand and prudently vanished. Under
a deck light. the now thoroughly
alarmed skipper gazed at a three
column advertisement. accommodate

Of tn. .deckhand's thumb.
Parts of the text danced before his
eyes.

Savagely he flung the paper over
the rail and watched it swirl into the
darkness. Then he gazed over at the
other ferry and dimly made out the
figure of old Captain Crenshaw in the
wheelhouse. His eyes travelled aft to
the lighted saloon, looking like the
stage in a theater.
He saw Mary extend white hand,
saw Jerry Dean slip on ring and then
take Mary in his arms and kiss her.
The muffled cheer of the crowd on the
Kwanice floated across the water. The
band played a wedding march. At
this moment, the dark sign on the
Kwanice's topside blazed out. 1t read:
FORGIVE US DADDY
He glared at it for moment, then
roared for a deckhand. Two appeared

give the impression it was just a

voice. "and switch ON those clusters"
The deckhands started to carry
out his order. He stopped them vio-
lently. with a gesture looking over
toward the other vessel. His face
cracked slowly into a smile. His hands
motioned the sailors to stop.
"'Vast heaving." he said quietly.
Then he stepped to the wheelhouse
and reached an arm thru the window.
The mate, at the wheel. wiped a grin
from his face, replaced it with a look
of utter attention to duty - and then.
as he caught sight of Lovett's face. re-
placed the grin.
Lovett withdrew his arm. His fin
gers grasped a megaphone. He strode
to the rail and raised the megaphone
to his mouth. Over the rim of the
megaphone, he saw his daughter and
Jerry. standing hand in hand at the
rail of the Kwanice, fifty feet away.
Pipe down that band" he yelled.
Somebody went back into the
saloon. The music died away. Captain
Lovett paused moment. Then to the
couple on the Kwanice and the crowd
behind them. waiting tensely. there
came the full-throated shout:

The next afternoon Mary. looking
very smart in a new white frock, with
a spray of red roses at her shoulder,
drove her roadster down to the water

shed. She made one round trip with

Cartier M axes New
Arrangements in
Capital Visit.

JACQUES CARTIER, a young Ameri-
can dancer who nrst won recogni-
tion for his numbers in bi' Broadway
musical shows, comes to Washington
Friday afternoon for his debut locally
in his one-man dance-drama-"The
Grand Monarch"-which tells the
story of the great French King,
Louis XIV.
AS a result of theater complications,
w. A. Albaugh, who is presenting this
event as third in series which in
cluded Trudi Schoop and her comic
ballet and the recent Shan-Kar Hindu
ballet, will not present Mr.. Cartier at
the National Theater, as originally an
nounced, but instead the program will
be given in the ball room of the Willard
Hotel at the same hour scheduled
4:30 pm, Friday.
Mr.. Cartier, using a similar tech
nique to that o. the famous feminine
actress -pantomimist, Cornelia Otis
Skinner, puts on a one-man show in
which, wearing gorgeous authentic
costumes, Mr.. Cartier portrays various
characters of King Louis court, en-
acting the parts as well as doing sew
eral skillful dances. This program is
primarily dramatic, however, and not
a dance program in the sense that
both the Schoop and Shan-Kar ballets
were.
Those who have series tickets for
the coming attraction will be given
the preferable seats in the ball room
Reservations can be placed through
the Talburt Ticket Agency, in the
