HOPKINS TELLS HOW
MONEY TO BE SPENT
In Four Years SIS, 300, OOO,-
600 Has Been Spent by
Government for Relief;
Senate Lobby Probers De-
nounced for Methods EN-
ployed in Their Inquiry

Washington, April 20.-(AP)-Presi-
dent Roosevelt, expanding his re-
covery drive on still another front,
discussed with fiscal advisors today
how private utilities could be helped
to finance new construction and pro-
vide Jobs.
He took up the question at White
House conference. Just before he did
so Harry Hopkins, Works Progress
administrator, indicated in testimony
at the Capitol that he was preparing
to increase the relief load in the first
seven months of the next fiscal year
beginning July 1.
Appearing before the House Appro-
priations Committee to tell how he
proposed to use $1,25O, 100000 of relief
funds requested by the President,
Hopkins said this sum would be suf-
ficient to care for 100000 persons
until February 1, 1899 or 100000 more
than are now on the rolls.
Giving an idea of the extent of re-
lief expenditures, the Senate Unem-
ployment Committee reported today
that from 1888 to 1897, $4,000, OOO, 600
had been spent for this purpose.
Other developments:
Senator Nye, Republican, North Da-
kota, denounced the $1,156, SAG, 900
naval expansion program as "em-
phatically" not preparation to de-
fend ourselves" but ''to carry on ag-
excessively in warfare thousands of
miles away from home" He took the
floor to oppose enactment of the ex-
DansiOn bill.
The Senate Unemployment Commit
tee reported enactment of corporation
income and capital tax gains taxes
would be exceedingly helpful' in
making jobs for the nations 12,OOO,-
900 and more unemployed.
These taxes, imposing flat rates
on corporation income and capital
gains, have been approved by bust
ness and condemned by the admins
;ration.
Sumner Gerard, of New York, ex-
changed fiery words with Senate lob
by Investigators, terming the conduct
of their investigation nothing short
of disgraceful."
The treasurer of the National Com
mittee To Uphold Constitutional Gov
eminent leaped to his feet while tes-
tifying before the Senate committe,
and asserted the investigators had
tried to "besmirch' his organization.
Senator Nosris, Independent, Ne
braska, father of the iva, expressed
approval of the appointment of a joint
congressional committee to investigate
the agency.

Washington, April 20.-It undoubt-

said in his last bedtime talk, that
the recession of recent months, after
all, has not returned the country to
the disasters of 1929.
1t is like this:
A few years ago, afflicted with a
bad tooth, | consulted dentist
"What is it?" asked the doctor
seeking to diagnose my case. "Is it
violent, agonizing pain. Or is it dull

Well, 1929 was a violent, agonizing
pain. This has been dull ache.
A dull ache is lad enough.

AS to my tooth, it did not much

The remedy was to extrcat the tusk.
But this much did matter.

STATE GOT SHARE
OF FEDERAL FUNDS
$261 ,843,179 North Caro-

Raleigh, April 2O.@Speaking of fed

1888, through December 81, 1887, total

during this same period total of $685.

That part of the stary sky which includes Orion and It's neighboring constellatiCns is considered by many observers to be the finest in the entire heavens. :. Within this area lie the constellations of Taurus, Au> riga, Gemini, Orion Canis Major, and Canis Minor. Not less than sev- en first magnitude stars out of the entire list of 20 and out of the IS which are visible from these north- ern Attitudes, will be found here. In addition, there is a host of sec ol1d and third rnagniture stars which add greatly to the beauty of the picture. At rnap-time the group of Orion lies on the eastern horizon, while directly above it, in good position for observation, is Taurus the Bull. In the latter, the most brilliant star is the yellow ish white Aldebaran, a first magni- tude star easily located by the use of Orion's Belt. Extending the imaginary line connecting the three stars of the Belt upward and vest ward, we are led close to Aldebarar, the eye of the Bull. This is really double star, the larger compon- ent having a luminosity equal to about ninety times that of the sun; that of the smaller companion is about one-thousandth part of the suns light-emitting power. The distance of the Aldebaran binary system from us is about fifty-seven light-yearS.
 Immediately surrounding Aldebar- an is a loose cluster of stars known as Hyades named after the nymphs who were the daughters of Atlas, the giant of Greek mythology who

supported the earth on his shoul- ders. In Northern Africa there is a mighty mountain range called the Atlas mountains. The stars of the Hyades cluster are a physically con- nected swarm which move through space together in the same general direction and with approximately the same speed as to maintain the essential unity of their system. Al- though Aldebaran lies in the same star field as seen from the direc~ ton of the earth, 1t is in no way a part of the cluster, for the Hyades lie at the much greater distance of 125 light-years from us. In spite of this tremendous distance the Hyades is our nearest star cluster.
 In the same constellation of Tau rus there is another and better known cluster lying above Aldebar- an in the sky at map time. We refer of course to the Pleiades. It is recognized without the use of any instrument. This cluster figures in the religious and my- thologies of all primitive peo- ples, from Persia, Babylon, and Greece to the American Indians, the Axtecs and the Australian ab- origines. To most people this cluster appears to consist of only seven stars forming the figure of small dipper; six of the seven stars are readily visible but the seventh is somewhat elusive and has given rise to the myth of the lost Pleiad. On clear nights, however, 1t can readily be seen and people. with specially keen eyesight can count as many as thirteen stars. The telescope reveals that the cluster contains many hundreds of stars
 These all form a physically united group, held together by attracting forces, which moves through space as one gravitational unit. Its dis tance from the sun and earth is about 500 light-years. The stars of this cluster are of considerable lu-

itself double system and that an- other small star, also a double, be- longs to the Castor system. Thus we have in what appears to the eye as a single star really star system composed of six members. The closer member stars move about their centers of gravity in orbits and each doublet moves about the center of gravity of the entire sys- tenn. It takes the two bright sets about three hundred years to com- plete a revolution and the smaller companion set revolves in its orbit in a period extending over many thousands of years.
 The Solar System
 Of the four eclipses scheduled for the current calendar year, two took place in May: a total eclipse of the moon on May IA and a total eclipse of the sun on May 29. The remain ing two will take place this month. Again we have total eclipse of the moon on November 7th but this time only a partial eclipse of the sun on the 2lst. Neither type of eclipse is particularly interesting to the astronomer. He wants, particu- larly, total eclipses of the sun for these alone enable him to study cer- tain physical phenomena on the sun which cannot be studied at any other time. A partial eclipse of the sun does not reveal the chromo- sphere or the solar corona. Only the extreme western edge of our con tinent will glimpse the present par- tial just before sunset and then not at the greatest phase during which the solar disk will be about three quarters covered. In the case of the lunar eclipse of the 7th, the eastern portion of the continent will see the ending of the phenomenon right after sunset, the moon rising in eclipse.
