The great constellation of Orion lies on the eastern horizon at map time and is preceded by another fine group, that of Taurus the Bull. Tie most brilliant luminary in the lat ter constellation is the yellowish, first-magnitude star Aldebaran. The best way of Identifying this star is by the use of the Belt of Orion: if the imaginary line joining the three stars of the belt are prolonged upward it carries us close to the position of Aldebaran. This is very large star, indeed, having volume over fifty thousand times as great as that of the sun and emitting ninety times as much light and heat.
 Surrounding Aldebaran is a loose cluster of stars called the Hyades, representing in the classical mytho- logy, the nymphs who were daugh- ters of the giant Atlas on whose shoulders rested the entire earth. These stars form physically con- nected group all moving through space together but Aldebaran is not

 brightest of all the stars lying north of the celestial equator. Capella is in reality 8 much bigger star than Vega, for its luminosity is over 150 times that of the sun. Its distance from us is twice that of Vega, about fifty light-years. If Capella were

MASTERSINCERS IN
 FINAL REHEARSAL
Popular Local Musical Troupe in Readiness for
 Annual Presentation

Arrangements for the third an- nual concert and revue of the Mas tersingers Male chorus under the direction of Joseph H. Lezotte, to take place Friday night at Temple hall, will near the final stages of completion at dress rehearsal of the well-trained company tomorrow night. The chorus has prepared several selections taken from rnusi- cal comedy hits and has blended the program to meet the approval of popular music enthusiasts. Sev- eral variety features will also be presented with dancing after the stage presentation to music pro- vided by Timme Grove and his or chestra.
 As an added attraction this sea- son, the Mastersingers present Jim Carthy, a native of this city,. as master of ceremonies. Jim appeared professionally throughout the Uni ted States for g years, seven of which he was associated with the cast of George Whites Scandals. Director Lezotte announced today that Carthy has been prevailed upon to sing Dear Old Girl", the num- stage developed here during the past the New York Hippodrome theater, and which has since enjoyed rec ord sale, being considered every where to be one of the tenderest ballads contained in the literature of music. . .s.. q
 The honors of the show should be evenly divided however, since the Mastersingers are not obliged to seek outside talent. Soloists includ- ed in the personnel of the troupe who will be cast ill feature roles constitute Clifford Hirsch, the only candidate for the Metropolitan staeg developed here during thep ast decade, Philip Guertin, popular vo- cahst, Bob O'Donnell, whose high tenor range is such that he is one of the few vocalists in Connecticut who can easily reach the key of and others. The dance SpecialtieS will be handled my Freddy Caligan.
 The company also consists of Harvey Lawton, William Delaney, Edward Conway, John Corden, Ray mond Corden, William Guilfoile, Raymond Brobeur, Michael Daly, Howard Jones, Maurice RosSeau, Paul Hirsch, Anthony DiAngelo, Victor Blancheione, Armand Guer- tin, Raymond Parent, Alfred Erk, Frederick Veillette.

.PoLI's'

Wednesday Waterbury's most pop ular theater presents this sparkling program.
 A streamlined romantic theme buands with rippling comedy and Hitting melody to make The Life of the Party" one of the most Scintillating musical comedy enter tainments to come to the Loew- Poli theater. u
 Star studded from the top of the cast to the button, the film has Joe Penner, Gene Raymond, Park yakarkus, Victor Moore, Harriet Hilliard, Helen Broderick, Billy Gil- bert, Ann Miller, Franklin Fang hborn, Ann Shoemaker and Margaret Dumont in the principal roles.
 As distinguished from many mus ical productions, the story predom- mates throughout, despite spark ling variety of supplementary rnuSi- cal and dance features and comedy which kept the audience in a con- tinual uproar during the initial showing of "The Life of the Party in Hollywood.
 Raymond and Miss Hilliard, have roles ideally suited for both of them, and make an exceptionally appealing team in their first appear ance together. Miss Billiards lovely voice is heard i nthe rendition of four of the tuneful six songs written for the production and Raymond, l in two of the numbers, displays his splendid voice and engaging style.
 Contrast in hulnor are supplied by six of the screens leading comics, who keep the picture alive with laughs throughout. Penner, as a wealthy young bachelor, and Park yakarkus as a hotel detective, turn in riotous performances: Helen Broderick and Victor Moore are equally effective with their parti-

8 member of the Hyades cluster. Another cluster group, better known than that of the Hyades, is also found in the area covered by the constellation of Taurus; we refer to the famous Plciades which can be easily found with the unaided eye, lying higher in the sky than Aide baran. Probably no star or group of sters in the entire Armament has betn more often mentioned in song and story than the Pleiades. They figure prominently in the mytholo- gies and religions of all the more primitive peoples from Persia, Baby lon, and Greece to the AZtecS, the Australian savages. To the average eye this group consists apparently of seven stars, forming what may be termed small dipper; six of the seven stars are easily seen but the seventh is somewhat elusive and has given rise to the myth of the loOt Pleiad. It can, however, be ob- served on clear nights and people with sharp eyesight have counted as many as twelve or eighteen stars. In the telescope many hundeds are revealed in the same star field. All these form a physically united swarm which is 8 single grand gravitational unit, moving together in pace. The stars in this group are of considerable luminosity, the brighter ones equalling a hundred suns. We know this to be true be- cause of the great distance of 220 light-years which separates us from this cluster. A star only as big as the sun at that distance would be truly insignificant. Long exposure photographs show the larger stars of the Pleiades to be surrounded by 8 bright nebulous haze of size and brilliancy quite unusual among the stars; though it is true that all stars have a surrounding nebulous en- velope as, for example, the corona of the sun.
 Auriga
 To the north of Taurus lies the constellation of Auriga, the Chario- teer, which contains Capella, beau- tiful white or yellowish-w star of the first magnitude. In fact its magnitude is almost zero" which means that it is about two and one- half times as bright as the standard of first-magnitude. Its great bril- liancy makes 1t easily recognizable.

equal to the sun in size and intrin- sic brilliance, 1t would appear to us as a star of the fifth magnitude only, just about on the border line of visibility without instrumental aid.
 A Lunar Eclipse
 On the 18th will take place the second of the three eclipses Sched- uled for the present calendar year, a partial eclipse of the moon. This will be visible generally from the entire continent of North America. The middle of the. eclipse will be at 3:19 a. m. by eastern standard time but the moon will enter the penum- bra or Semi-shadow of the earth at 1:09 a. m. and the umbra or full shadow at 2:37 a. m. It will egress in the reverse order at 4 a. m. and :29 a. m. A lunar eclipse must take place only when the moon is In its full phase and a solar eclipse only when the moon is astronomically new. At the next new moon, De- cember 2, there will be an annular eclipse of the sun visible across Q path running over the entire Pa'- ciflc Ocean from Japan to Lower California in Mexico. This eclipse will be visible to Alaska, British Co., lumbia, and the western states of the U. s. as a partial eclipse at sun- set on the 3rd. While the mechan- ics of an annular eclipse are like those of a total eclipse, the phe- nomena are entirely different as the moon does not cover the entire solar disk because 1t is too far from the earth. It leaves a ring of the solar disk visible and therefore the chro- mosphere and corona cannot be ob- served.
 The Planets
 Venus continues as a morning star, visible before sunrise over the southeastern horizon. Mars is on our map as an evening star setting shortly after maptime although it can be observed after sunset. Jupi- ter, too, is still an evening star, low CT in the sky than Mars but very bright and easily recognized. Sat- urn, on the other hand, is in eXcel- lent position at our conventional maptine; it Is in the constellation of Pisces close to the celestial mer- idian.

lima that have more poorly trained teachers
than we have in Ashe.
It is bad that our state is ranked among
those having the least trained teachers; it is still
worse that our county is ranked almost at the
bottom of the state We stand Goth from the top
among 100 counties.
Some wit has suggested that P. S. might
be added to the effect that conditions will not
improve until politics are taken out Of educa-
ton, but we refuse to think that either party is
mean enough to want to see the children of the
other party grow up in ignorance, besides their
own children would be victims of the same in
justice.
The innocent children of our county and
state deserve better opportunity than we are
offering them The state is willing to pay for
better trained teachers, but for some unknown
reasons, we manage to be top heavy with low
certified teachers.
The citizens in the county often complain
that their county does not receive it's part of the
state funds. This is certainly true of the school
money For example, Orange county has 80
teachers and receives 127,OO0.OO from the state
for education. Ashe county has 1T teachers and
only receives $139,OO0OO for education. Cald-
we'll county has the same number of teachers
Ashe has and receives $75,0OO0O more from the
state than Ashe county gets. Guilford county
has 1873 teachers and receives 100000 from
the state while Ashe with over half as many
teachers receives less than one-sixth as much
money.
The main cause for this is not that the state
distinguishes against us, but that we distinguish
against ourselves by not demanding higher GER
tifcates and better trained teachers. If all Ashe
teachers had A certificates as they have in Gull
ford county, for example, we would get $751;
100000 more from the state each year and our
children would have the benefit of the best in
stead of the poorest.
Our children should be our dearest posses
sions for they are the citizens of tomorrow and
the hope of the future They are entitled to the
best if the best is available.

The editor would like to take the credit for
having thought out an editorial on the subject
of higher teacher certification in the state and
county, which is sorely needed, but the idea was
brought forward by a member of the profession
in the county who has the interests of education
at heart; therefore, little credit for assembling
these sad facts belongs to this column.
According to a bulletin published by the
State Department Of Public Instruction, North
Carolina ranks 46th among the other states in
teacher training That means that As states have
better trained teachers than North Carolina has.
And to make bad matters worse according to
the same authority, our own Ashe county almost
foots the list among the counties in North
Carolina.
There are only four counties in North Caro-
