MRS. MORANS PARENTS HERE
ON FIRST VISIT TO ALASRI

Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Hanson of Sc
attic arrived here Tuesday morning
to visit their daughter and son-in-
law, Mr.. and Mrs. George F. Moran.
They made the trip on the Princess
Alice and state that they had de-
lightful time all the way, with con-
genial fellow passengers, attentive
room service, excellent food and fine
weather all the way.
The Hansons celebrated their for
tieth wedding anniversary last spring
but before leaving Seattle a son and
daughter escorted them to the boat
with much ceremony. Mrs. Hanson
was given a corsage, her husband a
white carnation for a boutonniere.
AS they went down the long pier to
board the boat, it seemed to them
that people were finding something
amusing in their appearance, but it
was only at the gangplank that Mrs.
Hanson discovered the placard "Just
Married" on her husbands back.
They will be in Wrangell until
the southbound trip of the Alice on
July %.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1939-07-07

Although chapter so, IAN Act to
protect the lives, health and morals
of women workers in the Territory
was passed by the Legislature last
spring as an emergency and in full
force and effect Immediately upon
its passage and approval on March
8, the act did not hit Wrangell un-
til last week and naturally its hit
ting produced much CONSERVATION
and perplexity among employers
and employees.
THE welfare of the Territory OF
Alaska demands that its women
workers be protected from the per-
nicious effects of inadequate wages
upon their lives, health and morals
states the opening paragraph.
Section l forbids the employment
of any female person under the age
of sixteen years in any mercantile
or industrial business. Section
forbids employment of any female
person over the age of IS years al
a weekly wage rate of less than
$500 for a six day week of As
hours.
No provision is made for hours Oh
wage scale for female persons be.
tween sixteen and eighteen years OF
age, SO it would seem that the legis
lators did not consider the little
sisters in that age class to need
protection in their lives, health Oh
morals"
AS a matter of fact, it is very
evident that the act, though un
doubleday promulgated by the mer
of the legislature in spirit Of
great benevolence and desire to pro
tect Alaskan womanhood, is going
to knock lot of high school girl
and women out of part time job
which they urgently need.
The Act contains eight sections

There is bird with a long neck

Cranes are machines which are
made to lift things and to move
them. They were in use before the
age of power machines. To this day,
we have hand-power cranes. They
are not very large, but with the
help OF wheels. pulleys and ropes, a
man using such a crane can lift a
heavy weight.
Big cranes are driven by steam,
electricity, compressed air or water
power. They are mighty helpers in
the work of the world.

above the floor, and has cables or
chains which can be dropped down.
A machine or other objects may
be lifted up, the cable being drawn
over a drum or wheel by the use
of power. After the object is lifted,
the travelling crane moves along the
rails and transports it to another
part of the shop.

telescope, an astronomer can photo
graph stars and galaxies of stars so
distant that he could never see them
with his own eyes through the same
telescope if he looked a lifetime.
This is because the effect of light
on a Photographic emulsion is cumu-
lative, which is not true of the hui
man eye.
Photographic Processes Improved.
The seeing" ability of telescopes
grows greater also as Photographic
emulsions are improved and made
more sensitive. Better emulsions
make the 100-inch telescope at
Mount Wilson considerably more eff
fcient today, for example, than
when it was built 90 years ago,
though its mirror remains the same
size.
But astronomers still would know
comparatively little about the uni
verse, if they merely looked at stars
and photographed them, even with
the largest telescopes. The light
that is concentrated by the giant
mirrors and lenses is not only pho
tographed directly, but is also bro
ken up into its spectrum of different
wave-lengths. BY analyZing the
spectrum of a star, astronomers in
many cases can learn an amazing
number of things about tits dis
tance, mass, brightness, sempera-
ture, size, speed of rotation, and
even sometimes the approximate
number of atoms it contains.

Huge Glass Eyes Peer

New Riddles.
Prepared by National Geographic Society,

Washington, d. C.-WNU Service.
The "eyes of the world" the great
telescopes that peer out from the
turning earth to explore the far
reaches of the universe, are in
creased by one more in the new 81
inch mirror of Mcdonald observa-
tory on Mount Locke in the Davis
mountains of western Texas.
The completion of this giant
"eye," which can photograph stars
only a millionth as bright as any
that can be seen by the unaided
human eye, brings to total of at
least 40 the number of telescopes of
two feet in diameter or more now in
use in the world
The Mcdonald observatory tele-
scope is the second largest in the
world in actual use at present, be-
ing exceeded only by the l00-inch
telescope at Mount Wilson observa-
tory, Pasadena, Calf. Both, how
ever, are being surpassed by the
200-inch telescope set up on Mount
Palomar, Calf, under joint aus
pices of California Institute of Tech
nology and Mount Wilson observa-
tory. The Mcdonald observatory is
operated jointly by the Universities
of Texas and Chicago.
Each Has Its Job.
The increasing size of telescopes
does not mean that the various in
struments will compete with one an
other in exploring the heavens, how
ever, nor is a smaller telescope
made out of date or useless by a
larger one. There is work enough
for all in probing secrets of the
vast universe, and the task of ex-
ploration is divided among the vari-
GUS instruments.
Astronomers nowadays seldom
"look through" their large tele-
scopes. They do most of their ex-
ploring of the heavens by photo
graphing sections of the sky. The
great telescopes of modern times
are primarily giant cameras. Their
huge mirrors or lenses act as fun
nels for light, making it possible
to concentrate large quantity of
star light in one spot.
