UNCLE RAYS CORNER

When l speak about stars during
visits to schools, I often find that
the boys and girls have hard time
realizing the vast distances in our
universe. I do not blame them,
since I, myself, cannot really pic
ture such a vast distance as 100,
100000 900 miles!
There isn't anything like 100000
100000 miles to be found on our
earth. If we go around the earth
at the equator, travelling on a
straight line, we cover 25,000 miles
Of space, but that is only small
part of 100000 miles, not to speak
of 100000!
Slowly and with great care, as
tronomers have learned hundreds
Of facts about our solar system and
the stars. To learn facts, they have
used not only the telescope but also
the spectroscope and other instru-
mentS.
When we speak of the solar sys-
tenn we mean the sun and the
planets which go around it, also the
comets which are within range of
our sun.
The fartheSt of all known planets
Is Pluto. 1t is at an average dis
tancs of about 3,700,000,000 miles
from the sun.
Far beyond any planet, or any
comet which makes regular trips
around our sun, is the nearest true
star. When I speak Of true star,
Evening star., 1940-12-23

Nebula in Coma Uhich may
haze same shape as our o1Un
uniUerSe.
I mean something different from a
planet.
A planet travels around our sun
but a true star does not. A true
star gives its own light, but the
light of a planet is reflected light
In other words, it gives light in
the same way our moon gives it to
the earth. If the sun did not shine
on the moon, there would be no
moonlight.
Beyond the planet Pluto, per-

first true star. He would find it a
fiery ball very much like our sun.
Our universe contains many mil
lions Of fiery balls. Some are larger
than our sun, some are smaller.
We may speak of them as far-away
suns.
Our universe is believed to have
shape something like a wheel
A vase distance from the farthest
part Of our universe is another
cluster of suns" There are known
to be dozens of such clusters" each
containing a great number Of suns,
and each more or less in the shape
of a wheel.

to speak of only one universe" :"

The bidding, as you can see, was
brief and decisive. The play was
less brief but even more decisive,
for South was set five tricks, a
penalty of 1,400 points!
But when the smoke had cleared,
both North and South earnestly
maintained that the other had been
more at fault for the disaster. Our
own opinion is a mixed one We
think South's psychic two-bid was
rather silly but that Norths jump
to seven clubs was stupid.
South intended to pass his part
ner's response, whatever it might
be, and hoped that the opponents
would be intimidated by the OPEN
ing two-bid or, in any event, pre-
vented from reaching their best
contract. The odds against any such
success were tremendous, and it was
much more likely that the psychic
bid would result in bad penalty.
Nevertheless, there was no need for
North to make any jump bid at ALL
A simple response of two diamonds
would have been enough at that
point. If South had a legitimate
two-bid (Which North's strength
should have caused him to doubt
he would bid again, and North
would have ample opportunity to
bid a grand slam. And If South's
tWo-bid were so ridiculous that he
had to pass two diamonds (as
would have been the case), North
would have reason to be glad he had
not made higher bid.

Lewis Pitches Good Game But Score Remains ! 10
 4 in Douglas Favor

Maxy Lewis last night, although he lost his game with Douglas to 3, showed that ha had something on the ball, giving only nits in the six innings he was in the box. and in his second consecutive night of pitching.
 Often sending over a submarine ball that kept the Islanders fooled, Lewis, who pitched eight innings Tuesday night, held the Douglas team down again last night for his full time in the seven inning fray.
 Homers From Lewis
 True it was that Rustad and Frs kine took home runs from him, but few pitchers in the league have been able sto hold down hitters like Frs kine, Rusty, Snow, Addleman. The new pitcher, who himself smashed out a homer last night, showed up well and is a new Elk threat.
 For the first three cantos, both Lewis and Jensen pitched bang-up ball, giving only two hits apiece. Frs kine took a double from the Elks in the first, but failed to score when Rustad flied out in the last chance to Joe Bird. Roller poured out a single but was promptly put out on steal to second when Addle- man made long throw to Kuma- saka on the second bag.

 Germans Moi
 Applying Now
Clothing, However, Ord cred for Export Must
 Be of Latest

BERLIN, May 30 Fashions don't apply in Germany for the duration of the war. Articles of clothing ordered for export, how ever, must keep abreast of the lat est fashions.
 That, in a nutshell, is the cs- sence of an order issued by the German clothing industry to it's entire membership.
 The order stipulates that econ- omy of material is the main de- sideratum in the manufacture Of clothes. "A mans suit can well look presentable," the order points out. even if the decrees of fash ion haven't been observed in it's manufacture. A dress needn't be less attractive merely because the skirt isn't as wide as decreed fby fashion,"
 That export orders fall into different category is made plain by the "Textil- -Zeitung," trade or gan of the clothing industry.
 Tt needs hardly to be pointed out that orders placed in Germany by foreign customers must be executed exactly as the customer desires, It is the duty, yes the two- fold duty, of German industry to treat this foreign customer with particular politeness."
 Germany is most anxious to keep up such world trade as she still has, and is also anxious for every dollar, pound, franc or other foreign currency that she may use for importing articles essential to her conduct of the war.

HAMLIN SAYS
 NASTY REMARKS
 ABOUT MURPHY
MtCann's $ Manager De- eIdres His Boy Will
 Put Murphy Out

If Billy McCann fights half as good fight on July as manager Dean Hamlin thinks he will, fight fans will have something to look forward tS
 Today Hamlin, b~agging about his boy said some things about Murphy, among which were some remarks about his being afraid of his own shadow
 Sure, we'll win the fight said the manager, speaking from be- hind his desk and in the plural. And another thing, we don't even think that Murphy will show for the fight. He knows that McCann will give him a terrific beating and will find some excuse for not going through with the bout"
 About this time, Hamlin already red in the face, ventured out from the protection of his desk a n d pounded his fists on the wall.
 We been robbed" he screamed. This fight should have been with Slugger Weaver in the first place. My boy was robbed in his first fight with him and everyone knows it. As soon as we can get the slug cornered, I'm going to insist that he sign to replace Murphy when Murphy takes a powder.
 And take a tip from me" he confided in low whisper, "McCann and me are going to win tn s fight, no matter. who McCann fights, Weaver or Murphy And that's the way to lay your money"

 Fourth Big Inning
 When Lewis gave Erskine a base on balls, the pitchers first of the two given in the game, he gave the Islanders a setup with Rustad com ing to bat. A vicious crack heralded the homer that Rusty knocked, and there were two runs for the Doug las. Jensen struck out and then Bell got to first cn a pebble by Taguchi. Then Hanford whistled out single and Bell came home.
 Then it was the Elkmen's turn to score and they did, Taguchi and MacSpadden making the tour and the score was 2 to 3. During the next time at bat for the Elks, Lewis knocked his double, scoring on Birds single
 Douglas Keeps G0 ng
 But the Islanders had taken a run too, in the meantime and the Elks were still one down Erskine' S homer had settled their hash The last two innings for the Elkmen were merely 1-2-3 each time at bat, with Jensen and Erskine flaming one man in each frame.
 But one up wasn't good enough for the Douglas clan and they settled down in their last inning at bat to take three hits and three runs from Lewis. Manning, Hanford and Niemi each singled and made good their hits leaving the Islanders four runs up.
