AMUSING

Editor: Your editorial, otis
Enough to Make You Fighting
Mad" was rather amusing. If you
Negroes don't want to see so much
crime news in the press about you
there is a logical solution in your
hands. Just get rid of so many
no-goods in your race and there
will be no crime news to print.

Hello, Folks:

Hello, Folks:
l know all you Twin City folks
who didn't come in contact with the
tornado that struck round these
parts were mighty glad. Have you
heard this tale that's being passed
about town re. the storm and one
of our Mpls. business men? Well,
let's call the business man our
hero, who was out in the middle of
one of our lakes having a grand
time fishing when the storm broke.
He dashed wildly to the shore in
his little boat and was overjoyed
to see near the bank a small shack
which he thought would be haven
in the storm. He ran with all his
might (and being big man his
might" was great) but, and here
comes the tragedy, just as he
reached for the door a terrific gust
of wind grabbed the shack and up
in the air and down the field flew
the shack, leaving our hero one
fiabbergasted man. Our hero had
to dash back to his car where he
sat until the storm subsidized, and
he says that beautiful big car of
his just rocked like kids hobby
horse. Everyone says they would
have liked to have seen the express
sion on our hero's face.)
The operetta, Hollywood Bound"
given by the Wheatley House last
week was a real success. The mu-
sic and acting were both fine. Many
st. Pauites, as well as Minneapol-
itans, were present. All of the cast
did exceedingly well. WORTHY
TURNER, HILDA MOSES, WIN
STON RICHARDSON, MARY
GIBSON, MAE HATCHER,
JAMES GRESHAM, JACK BELL
and NORMAN Light were a few
of the large cast who played their
roles nicely. FRANKIE
WYCHE, in her gray tuxedo, GER
tainly gave a mellow tap speciality.
-. JOSEPH PAIGE'S version
of "Old Man River" was also re-
ceived well by the audience.
This Weeks Big Event: The
Credjafawn's party which will be
held at the Columbia Chalet this
coming Monday night. As usual,
the boys about town are getting
their white suits and coats out of
the cleaners and the gals are work
ing feverishly on some new hair
dress, which they hope will out
shine all of the other girls present.
Look for the Mpls. gal who is sup
posed to be coming out in some
startling hairdress. Friends tell
me one side of her hair is to be a
page boy" and the other side, a
"boyish bob" She says she's go
ing to give it an original name,
''the double boy bob" and create
a sensation.) Hal We shall see
what we shall see, and seeing is
believing.
Leaving Town: CHARLOTTE
CRUMP, who has left for Pitts
burgh, Pa. That's an interesting
place as we noticed when we went
East last summer. Loads of luck
to Charlotte who is a grand girl.

With the coming of May the spring consultations are well es- tablished in their ascendancy over the domain of the fixed stars and the brilliant winter constellations are retreating westward, soon to be missing entirely from our monthly map. Great Orion has set by our conventional map-time, although it still may be seen in the far south- west as the twilight deepens. Sir jus, too, is no longer on our map. Of that magnificent area of sky which we associate with Orion, only the Lesser Dog, Procyon, and the Gemini are left. In the northwest ern sky Capella in Auriga contin- ues to glow with its clear, sun-lit light; its far northern position in the sky causes 1t to be visible here for 8 much greater part of the year than those stars which lie fur ther toward the southern regions of the heavens. Leo, the Lion. which may be called the forerunner of the spring and summer constel- lations, has already passed the meridian at map-time. Virgo and Virgin, which occupies greater stretch along the ecliptic circle than zodiac, now extends at map-time from the meridian eastward half- way to the horizon. Its most bril- Han star is Spica.
 The planets, Mercury, Venus, Venice, Jupiter and Saturn are morning stars though only Jupiter is in really good position for ob- servation. Saturn will be in conjunc- ton with Mercury on the 10th and this should be a help in finding the smaller body. On the 18th Saturn

will be in conjunction with Venus. Mars, on the other hand, is im- proving its position; 1t is turning into an evening star and getting brighter as 1t approaches its next opposition, late in July. Its present stellar magnitude is approximately minus one-half": 1t is thus bright CT than Vega but not so bright as Sirius.
 On May 3, as previously noted there is a total eclipse of the moon which is not visible from any part of North America. It will be ob- served from Asia, Africa and parts of Europe. This year connot be said to be q happy eclipse year for astronomers because the totatl solar eclipse of the year which will take place in the fall will not be visible from any good location but only from the deep southern ocean.
 Stars That Never Set
 Recently we have received several letters requesting an explanation of the statement that there are stars in the sky which, as seen from these attitudes. never set below the observers horizon. This is, of course, perfectly true and t is further cor- rect to say that there are many stars in the heavens which we can never see unless we take a trip to the equatorial regions. The only lo- cations on the earth from which all the stars are visible lie along the terrestrial equator. All the stars even there cannot be seen on any one night but become visible with the changing of the seasons.

ecliptic circle by the earth's true orbital revolution.
 Tn the middle attitudes the ce- lestial pole appears neither in the horizon nor in the zenith but lies in the sky between these limits. At New York, where the latitude is about 4l degrees north. the pole lies 4l degrees above the north point of the horizon, or very close to the halfway mark between the zenith and the horizon. Thus all the stars which lie so close to the pole that they are nearer to 1t than to the north point of the horizon will never set as they rotate about the celes- tial pole. On the other hand, New York can rever observe the stars which lie within fl degrees of the south celestial pole and for that reason observers remaining here never see the stars of the Southern Cross, the brilliant stars of Gen. taurus or Canopus in Carina which is next to the Sirius, the brightest star in the heavens.

Total Moon Eclipse
 Promised On May 3
Passing of Luminous Body Into Shadow of Another
 Not to Be Visible in North America

A fundamental astronomical law states that the elevation of the ce- lestial pole in the sky (measured in the degrees of arc) is exactly equal to the terrestrial latitude of the observer. This means that if an ob- server stands exactly at the north pole of the earth, the celestial north pole is directly overhead, on the zenith. Every star in the sky would in the course of an axial rotation of the earth-one day-appear to trace out a circle parallel to the celestila horizon. Thus they would never rise or set and during the long polar night always would be visible; how ever, the total of the visible stars would be only those lying north Of the celestial equator, approximately half of all the stars in the entire heavens. Since the pole is in the zenith overhead, the celestial equator and the celestial horizon are the same circle.
 Now if we made a long jump to d pOluL OlI tllC ICIACotAAoA SAAo'0.' we would find that our latitude is zero. The celestial pole would there fore be at an altitude of zero de- grees, i. e., it would lie in the hori- zon. In fact, the north celestial pole lies in the horizon to the north and the south pole is in the south point of the horizon. The celestial equator passed through the overhead point. The stars of the entire Armament will therefore parade across the sky during the course of a day. Those which happen to be up with the sun on any one day will not be visible that night but they will become visible some months later as the sun moves, or is apparently moved to a different part of the
