Council was held last night in
Council chambers for the pur-
pose of taking steps to provide
funds for WPA sponsorship by
means of raise in occupational
license fees, planned to be effec-
tive city-wide. All councilmen
were present at the meeting.
All matters pertaining to occu-
pational licenses were reviewed

Belts and badges were issued
yesterday to the members of the
Safety Patrols of Division Street
and Harris schools. The dis
tribution of these insignia of of
flee was made by Police Officer
Myrtland Gates, director of the
patrols.
Mr.. Gates said that his visit to
the schools showed that Prin-
cipals w. c. Duncan of the Har-
rs school and Earl Hamilton of
the Division Street school were
very busy in getting the pupils
assigned 10 their rooms for their
studies, yet displayed great in
terest in the presenting of belts
and badges.
Following will be found the
list of patrols and members to
whom badges and belts were
given:

meeting to be held tomorrow
night dealing with a flat twenty
five percent raise on all estab-
lishmeEts now doing business in
the city.
AS stated, the funds thus rails
ed will be especially allocated to
a WPA sponsorship fund.
Study Liquor Licenses
Considerable discussion was
entered into by the councilmen
on the subject of state laws gov
erning effectiveness of the rise
in taxes ordered in the case of
places selling liquor, beer and
wine. Attorney Taylor was in
structed to frame special pro-
visions in the new ordinance,
which would regulate opening
and closing hours of such estab-
lishmentS.
At present, statute requires
that night clubs or dance halls
that charge admission are re-
quired to pay a flat $50 license
fee per year. The council revis-
ed this law to read ''all establish
ments that provide for dancing,
whether admissions are charged
or not will be charged the same
fee".
Carnival License
Of wide interest in the city
will be still another provision,
which raises the license tax on
amusement parks from $500 per
year to $4,000 per year.
An additional clause is that no
carnival wills be allowed to re-
main here more than fifteen
DAYS.

ing the British Parliament today
after returning from a conference
with French leaders in Paris.
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain said that the British French
alliance was determined to end
Hitlerism once and for all this
time.
Chamberlain admitted, how
ever. that the English expedi-
tionarY force had not taken part
in an engagement against the
Germans. but said that English
planes were fighting alongside
French planes against Germany's
air force.
Every aid will be given Po-
land. Chamberlain said. and
pointed out that the British navy
was successfully blockading Ger
many ports besides carryins on
an intensive war against Ger-
man submarines. Three Polish
destroYers have joined The Eng
iish fleet.
Meanwhile from the war front
came news that France had cap
tured several strategic positions
where its artillery could be
brought 10 bear on vital German
Siegfried line Entertainments.
Smelling of the area near Luxem-
burg began today. Capture of
the strategic positions came
within the last 50 hours.
Lord Halifax bitterly de-
ncunced the German announce
ment that it would soon begin to
bomb civilian ceniers and said
that ENGLAND would follow with

 two and ore-half times that of the standard Of first magnitude. It is easily recognized because of its great brilliancy. It is surprising to learn that the name Capella means "she- goat" We would hardly be likely to name such a bright star after 50 lowly Ati animal but 1t Is to be re- membered that to the ancient world the goat was highly important animal, as 1t still is to q large part of the present day inhabitants of the earth. It is evident that the name of the constellation and the name of its principal lunlinary are not related and therefore are of different origin.
 Three fainter stars close to O.. bella are known as the Kids. The male goat is also present in the sky as the constellation Capyicor1aus, one of the constellation of the zodiac now lying over the southwestern horizon. Capelia is the fifth bright est star in tho entire heavens. very nearly as bright as blue.whits vsga in Lyra which is the brightest Of the tixed stars lying north Of the celestial equator. But Capelya is in reality q much bigger star than Vega for 1t is not quite twice as far away. The luminosity of Capella Is equal to about i50 times that of the

sun and if the sun were viewed from the distance of Capella 1t would an- pear as a star of the fifth ,nae,ii- Jude, which would be very close to the limit of visibility with the ,,n. aided eye.
 The Planets
 Although Mercury will be in rreat- est eastern elongatiou on the 7th and thus an evening star, its posi- ton IS not particularly favorable at tnls elongation, and 1t sets about one.hAf hour after the sun. Venus, on the other hand, is improving Its position and by the end of the month will be observable as an evening star. Mars, too, Is visible in the evening sky after sunset d. though its brightness is diminishing further and its stellar maknitude about equal to that of Capelia. Two months ago 1t was as bright as Sir. tus. and In July, at opposition, its brightness had been about twice that of Sirius. Jupiter Is a brilliant object for most of the night. It lies ih the constellation of Pisces near Aquarius and Cetus, Saturn also is in good position for observation; 1t rises shortly after sunset and Is thus above the horizon for most of the night As 1t was in opposition on October 22nd, 1t is still a particu- lafly good object, Thus in locking over the above list, we find that the month Is an outstanding one for naked eye observation of the plail- cts as all the more important of. these bodies, with the exception of Mercury. are in the evening sky.

were the daughters of the giant Att jas on whose shoulders the entire earth rested. These stars form a physically united group that Aide. baran itself is not a member of the HyadeS cluster. In the area covered by the constellation of Taurus is another and much better known star cluster, that of the Pleiades. This can be easily found with the naked eye lying above Aldebaran in the sky. It is probable that no star or group of stars has been more often mentioned in song. myth, and story than the Pleiades. They. play a prominent part in the nnythclcgies and religions of al the primitive peoples including the Persians, the Babylonians, the Greeks, and evet, Aztecs and other American Indians
 as well as tho aboriginal Australian savages. The normal eye sees this cluster as composed of seven stars forming 6 small dipper. As six of, the seven stars are easily seen while the seventh is rather elusive and re- quires better conditions of observa- ton. there arose the myth of lost Pleiad, People with sharp eyesight can count as fliAtly as twelve to eighteen stars without the use of a telescope while the later easily re- yeals the presence of many hundreds of stars in the Pleiades star.field.

The Heavens In November
Two Important onstellations-- Fine Opportunity For Viewing Planet
BY DR CLEMENT S. BRAININ Of The CSlumbia University Observatory Staff

On the eastern horizon at map time lies the great constellation of Orion. Preceding it in its westward march is another fine group, that of Taurus the Bull, whose most bril- liant luInipary Is the yellowish, first magnitude star AldebaTan, the eye of the Bul. This star is best idepti- fled by the use of the Belt of Orion: for if the imaginary line joining the three stars of the Belt Is prolonged westward, now upward, it will carry us very close to the position of Alde- hafan. The latter Is a much larger star than the sun, having volume over fifty thousand times as great and emitting about ninety times as much light and heat as our solar orb.
 A loose cluster of stars is sprink- led about the position of Aldebaran in the sky. This cluster is called the Hyades and represents in the class ical mythology the nymphs who

united swarm moving together in space. The stars of the pleiades are of considerable luminosity many of them equal to ., hundred suns join- cd into one. We know this to be the case because of the great distance of 220 lght-ycass which separates us from the cluster. A star only as biz as the sun ct thSt distance would appear truly insignificant. Long exposure photographs show tho largest of the Pleiades stars to be surrounded by . bright uebulous envelope of . size and brilliaucy quite unusual among the stars, though al stars have such uebu- lous atmosphere to a greater or less extent. In the case of the sun it Is known as the corona.
