lily, it is said, is comparable to our
own Milky Way.
Only the most exacting observa-
ton of the outer fringe of space, led
to the important discovery, according
to DIR. Edwain P. Hubble, who di-
rected the work of pointing the 100
inch Mount Wilson telescope toward
the Bolts nebulae, previously the most
distant object seen by astronomers.
By taking longtime exposures on
Photographic plates of that region of
the skies, experts found the new fam
lily of some 200 nebulae far beyond
the Bolts series.
But what is old about the discov-
cry is the fact that the present mo-
ment no one knows just where the
new family of universes is. In fact,
the family has moved and has had
considerable time in which to move.
In the first place the light which
made the impression on the photo
graphic plates possible, left its dis
tant sources some 326,OOO,O00 years
ago. It took all that time for the
light to travel the tremendous dis
ance to the earth even tho it raced
at the light speed of 10000 miles a
second.
In the meantime, the new family
of 200 universes, has been moving.
From the time it first was caught by
the Photographic lens, it has been
flying away from our own Milky Way
outward into space at the estimated
speed of more than 125,0\O miles a
second.
During the 326,OOO,OOO years that
it took for the light that made pos
sible their picture taking here on
earth, coupled with the $4,000 miles
per second that these new universes
have been moving toward the. out
ward rim of space, it is calculated
they have travelled considerable dis
lance in the meantime. Just where
they are now, no one knows, but the
photograph shows that they exist and

that the new family of universes is
at a distance of some 1000, OOO, OOO,-
OOO, 600, 100000 miles from the earth
and they constitute the most distant
object that the eye of man has ever
seen.
However, hey admit that it was
not so much the eye of man as the
lens of the telescope and the cam
era that were able to make a rec
ord of the discovery.

HUMANITARIANS
POINT OF VIEW
STOPS ACCIDENT

Industry today promotes accident
prevention from the humanitarian
point Of view, j. Russell Craig, SAT-
ETY. expert, said at the first meet
ing of a class in accident prevention
recently at Red Cross headquarters,
Oil Delaware Avenue, Wilmington,
Del.
This course, being sponsored by the
Delaware Red Cross, will continue for
five more Monday evenings. The en-
rollment at present is about IS men
and women from industrial and bust
ness firms in the city.
Lammont dupont, Jr., chairman of
the Delaware Red Cross, welcomed
the students and outlined the six
week course.
Mr.. Craig, who is salty director of
the ]. A. Montgomery, Inc, devoted
his lecture and discussion to the phil
osophy behind accident prevention.
Actually the first mention of the
subject, he said, is found in Deu-
teronony, chapter %, eighth verse:
"When thou buildest new house,
then thou shalt make battlement for
thy roof, that thou bring not blood
upon thine house, if any man fall
from thence"
Regarding the attitude of industry
to accident prevention. Mr.. Craig
said that at the outset industry was
interested only because fewer acct
dents meant saving of money. Lat
er, the philosophy changed to the
humanitarian point of view, con-
clusion he said, he had reached after
years of experience in the safety
fields and comforting with both in
dustry and labor.
The first American law compelling
the use of safety devices was passed
in Massachusetts in 1877, he said.
"The first compensation act for in
jured workmen was passed in 1910
in New jersey" Mr.. Craig continued,
land this law was the nearest ap-
proach to the present day laws"
One of the first united efforts for
a concerted safety drive occurred in
1912 when the Cooperative Safety
Congress met at Milwaukee. From
this congress has developed the pres
ent National Safety Council.
Glasses will be held each Monday
from 7:3O to $50 P. M. Certificates
will be given those attending five of
the six lectures, provided they pass
the final examination or prepare q
paper on the course. The need OF
trained teachers in accident proven
ton fits in with the national program
of the American Red Cross.
TIL course is intended for key per-
sons, in industry, schools, and those
in social work. The subjects of sub
sequent class meetings will be: Gao
cident Prevention in Industry" "Ac.
cident Prevention in Public Places,
Accident Prevention on Our Streets
and Highways" Accident Prevention
in the Home" Creating Safety Con.
seriousness and Preparing Accident
Prevention Programs"
