No Irish Need Apply! Alexander Henry Takes Senator Francis T. Maloney, State Chairman J. Francis Smith for "Ride" on Last State Elections-Reviews Recent
 Developments in State, National Politics.

don't belave a word of it, but they do say it.
 And, more to the point, Fran, they say that that is what licked us Democrats, because if Joe Tone or Murphy or someone the like had been runnin' for lootenant- governor we'd still be sittin' pretty up at Hartford. If it was true, it was a shame to put the skids under old Uncle Toby when he had been so good to the O'Sulli- vans, the Dalys, the Quinlans, the Cornells, the McAvoys, the Hack etts, the O'Connors, the Black alls and awl the rest.
 It takes the lads a long time to talk about that convention last fall, but they finally get around, Fran, to the point of sayin' that none other than Phil Hewes would satisfy you for secretary of the state committee, when it was Katherine Quinn who could have been put in the job, and, begorra, there's lass who knows how to play politics to the best and how to play the game to win. But, they say, you couldn't get Phill across, so we compromised on J. Walter Darley.
 Oh, it's pity the way they talk, Fran. They go on and they say that you had nice job and a good payin' one to fill as na- tional chief of the alcohol tax administration and that you filled

 State Income Tax
Last-Minute Appeal Filed With General Assembly For

duction in the extent to which the State will aid the development of our roads, especially in rural sec tions. We believe this to be against the interests of the far- mers, and therefore again we are driven to the belief that the in- come tax is the best solution.
 The proposal to shift control of auto inspection to the State Po- lice appears to us to smack of po- litical maneuvering for the sake of patronage. We cannot see where it will be any saving; it can hardly be more efficient, since it gives no guarantee of univer- sal inspection; it will also be more expensive for the motorist, and more inconvenient. We believe this proposal should be eliminated.
 Mention has lately been made of the existence of large sums due to the State in unpaid back taxes. We urge close check-up on this with view to using every possible such source to revenue. If, however, a deficit still re- mains, we urge again the pas sage of graduated state income tax.
 As you no doubt know, our con- ference has the support of the CIO and large groups in the AFII, many important church bodies and fraternal societies and other bodies. We trust that you will be able to give due weight to this last appeal, which we are sure represents the will of the major ity of the people in our State. It is our conviction that the active work of groups such as ours has had its effect in securing the passage of certain legislation which the people need, and which would not have been passed but for the determination of the lib- eral forces in the State. May we express the hope that in this most important matter you will cooper ate to effect the most progressive solution, namely, the passage of the graduated state income tax.

The Heavens In June
Great Red Star Antares; Star Cluster in Hercules;
 Summer SOstice
BY DIR. CLEMENT S. BRAININ of the Columbia University Observatory Staff

These pleasant June evenings bring
 put in full force the interesting sum- mer cancellations which we find occupying almost the entire heavens 1t map time. The Gemini, Castor and Pollux, alone of the great star field which surrounds Orion, still appears on our map as the rear guard of the winter cancellations
 The widespread group of Virgo now lies with its eastern end across the meridian and stretches far to the westward until it touches the boun- diary of Leo the Loan. Spica is the brightest gem of Virgo; it is a beautiful blue-white star lying west

of the meridian at may-time. The constellation of Virgo represents Ceres the classical goddess of the harvest.
 The brilliant yellowish-white star Arcturus in Bootes lies almost over head at map-tim Westward of Bootes is Coma BereniceS and on the eastern side lies Corona Borealis and, further east still, is Hercules. The circlet of Corona stars is easily recognized and all the stars lying between Corona and Vega in Lyra belong to Hercules. The brightest star in the latter constellation is only of the third magnitude; how aver, it is, no doubt, of tremendous absolute magnitude because its dis tance is nearly five hundred light years. It is double star of consid- erable interest. In Hercules there is also a very fine globular star-cluster Messier 13, the finest object of this type in the northern celestial hem isphere. It lies almost on a straight line joining Gemma, the brightest star in Corona and Vega in Lyra, and can easily be picked out with the help of a small telescope or Held glass. Under good conditions of observation it is visible to the un- aided eye as a hay patch of light. The ancients knew it but of course it's true nature remained hidden un- til the Invention of the telescope. EEi1Is cluster contains between fifty and q hundred thousand stars and Is about thirty-five thousand light gears away from us. Its dense cen- kra1 portion has 6 diameter of ap- proximately fifteen light-years and the entire space that 1t occupies Is probably more than a hundred light gears across. There is Q relative mo- kIon Of the stars within the cluster while the entire group moves rapid i4 through space as a single physi- cal unit.

ABSENTEE OWNERS CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Rev. James Phillips Dis cusses Industrial PrOb=
 lens of South

Absentee ownership of many in- dustries is the cause for much of the South's economic distress, said Rev. James H. Phillips, associate pastor of the First Congregational church, in talk at yesterdays luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis club.
 Northern interests control much of the South's business, he said, and their residence away from the southern states imposes heavy tax burdens on residents of those states
 It was announced that the Kiwanis club will be host at a di- visional golf match at the Water bury Country Club June IA. A dele gation from this city will attend the Kiwanis International convention at Boston June 1922.

 The letter" follows:
 U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney Senate Office Building,
 Washington, D. c.
 Dear Fran:
 I suppose oughtn't to be fa- miliar with you like that and ad- dress you as Fran" and that I ought to say either Dear Senator" or Honorable Francis IT," but. Fran, I knew you when" in the ould days up in Meriden which, if you recall, is where you used to live before you caught ahold of one of MT. Roosevelt's suspender buttons and got job at the na- tional capitol. Iris me that knows you want to go back there, Fran, and that's why I am takin' my pen in hand to give you the tip off on what's goin on here while you and the rest of the senators are tryin' to find out what's goin' on down there
 Yes, Fran, I knew you when you and Jim Walsh and Tommy Ma roney and Doc Murdock and some O the other boys were all pals to- gether. Remember, Fran, how we all used to go to the conventions together and what grand time of it we'd have! But l think that since you got to Washington you have kind of forgotten all the sons of the ould sod back here in your bailiwick. Maybe you can remem- Der, Fran, the ould days when the newspapers used to run advertise ments like Help wanted; no Irish need apply" Well, Fran, the boys back here have got the idea in their heads that you have gone and taken up with that ould sayin' "No Irish need apply" and, Fran, we still have a lot of lads from County Cork in the paharty.
 Now, of course, I know it .ain't so, but 'tain't funny, Maloney. In fact, Fran, the boys have got lots of reasons tucked away under their hats for thinkin' so, so I thought I better tell you. Maybe you think it's funny they've got such good memories, but, you know, they can even remember back to the time that you tried to put over Mrs. Palmer for the national ommittee and did your level best to beat out little Mary Coughlin from Bridgeport. Faith, and there's e grand girl.
 Yes. sir. Fran. the boys are
 harborin' the thought that it was you and Fran Smith who done the paharty dirt last fall. and got us licked. They say that 1t was most- ly you that put the hammers on Joe Tone and lawn Murphy and Ed Ahearn. and kept them of the state ticket. They even go so far as to say that you preferred Tom- my Hewes on the ticket. because you wanted to make sure you wouldn't have another Irishman running on tho ticket with you in , aelos NoNs krans peFsonallys !

nitude, the true brilliancy can be obtained; and vice versa, if we can learn the absolute magnitude by in- dependent means. we can combine it with the comparatively easily measured apparent magnitude and calculate the distance. This latter method of learning stellar distance has lately taken on much import ance since it is applicable in the case of many stars which are too far away for the regular trigonome- tric methods of measuring distances.

tion of Scorpio, one of the most interesting stars in the entire heav- ems. This is 8 giant star, a great ball of glowing gases, with 8 dia- meter of about three hundred and fifty times that of the sun. In miles this means that its diameter is about three hundred million miles as compared with the eight hun- dred and sixty-four thousand miles which is the approximate size of the suns visible disk. Antares radi- ates about sixteen times as much light and heat as the sun. There is some uncertainty about these fig ures, it must be admitted, but the above seems to be in accordance with the latest available figures. There is no doubt, however, that 1t is of gigantic size compared to the sun. Antereisis, furthermore, is a spectroscopic binary for the spectro- scope has shown that it is composed of two stellar bodies revolving about one another. They are too close and too far away to be separated with even the aid of the largest tele- scopes. Antares also has the dis tinction for naked-eye observers of being the reddest of all the first magnitude stars and closely re- sembles the planet Mars in color. To this 1t owes its name for Ares is the Greek name of the war god known to the Romans as Mars. According to classic mythology it was the Scorpion which frightened the horses of the solar chariot when the sun god Apollo allowed his son Phaeton to drive the solar orb on its daily round. The unlucky driver was thrown from the chariot into the river Eridanus, which is repre- scented in the heavens by Q southern constellation containing the first magnitude star Achernar which Is not visible from these northern attitudes.
 The Solar System
 June brings with it the official beginning of summer when the sun attains It's position of furthest dis- tance north from the celestial equa- tor. This point of the eciiptic circle Is called the summer solstice and the sun will reach 1t on the 27nd at 2;lo a. m.. eastern standard time. The sun is then said to enter tho zodiacai sign of Cancer although this point Is no longer in Cancer but really in the constellation of oemlni uenr the common boundary of the iat>er with Taurus.

GAME WARDENS
WILL BE- GIVEN
FREE PASSAGE
TO CARRYING ON
ACTIVITIES AT VARIOUS
POINTS SITUATED ON up
PER KEYS

Sportsmen and all lovers of
the fast disappearing animals and
birds that could be such an i'm
portant addition to the attraction
of the Florida Keys will feel
under obligations to Senator
Claude Pepper and the Hon.
Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton, for their comprehension of
the situation existing on the Keys
and Their readiness to cut some
red tape in the behalf of game
wardens, it has been announced.
Game wardenS of Monroe coun-
ty have felt that their small trav-
ell allowance did not permit of
their paying toll, and consequent
ly, the Lower Keys have had lit
tie service from them. The recent
planting of quail on Big Pine and
No Name Key, by Acting Com
missioner for the Fourth District,
Herbert l.. Schaller, of Miami,
and the interest aroused in the
preservation of the few deer, have
lent Importance TO the question
of securing protection.
John H. SIade, chairman of the
Overseas Road and Toll Bridge
District, fully Sympathized with
the desire to grant the two war
denS free passage in the perform
ance of their duties but, under
the agreement with the RFC he
was not empowered to grant the
desired permission.
For about two months, the
Chamber of Commerce has en-
dcavored to find a solution for the
problem and at last has sue
cieeded.
This mornings mail brings
from Senator Pepper a copy of a
letter from the chairman of the
RFC, the Hon. Jesse H. Jones, in
which he states that this cor
poration will interpose no objec-
ton to the issuance of passes for
these two game wardens for use
when on official business.
Secretary Singleton of the local
chamber has requested Acting
Commissioner Schaller to for
ward TO Chairman Slade- the
names of the two duly qualified
wardens and it is believed that in
a short time protection will bring
the usual result and the interest
ing wildlife of the Keys will add
interest to the wonderful Over
seas Highway.
