Annie Cannon
Buried In Her
Native State
tcOnlInusd from FIRST Page,

In her life work at Harvard
she classified more stars than am
other person in the world, being
credited with the classification o.
almost 100000 stellar bodies ac
cording to their spectra.
She also was the discoverer Of
more than 300 variable stars, five
novave and one spectroscopiG
binary, or double star.
Native of Dover
A native of Dover, Del, she was
interested in astronomy as child
and made observations with the
aid of a smoking candle from a
candelabIum, which even today
rests in the living room of her
tiny residence-"Star Cottage" =
close by Harvard Observatory.
Miss Cannon learned first about
the stars from her mother. who as
girl attended a Friends school
which had a course in astronomy.
With the information given her by
Mrs. Cannon, the girl would climb
into the attic of their home in
Dover and through a trapdoor onto
the roof, from where she would
gaze through the limbs of the
stately trees that surrounded the
house at the heavens and pick out
the consultations and larger stars.
Candle Worried Father
Before she left Dover to attend
Wellesley College, she was well
versed in an amateur study of
astronomy. She also had taught
herself the consultations from
crude charts in an old astronomical
book, most likely one her mother
had used in school.
The tall0w candle which she
used in her attic study caused
considerable worry for her father,
Wilson Lee Cannon, builder of
wooden ships and well known
politically in Dover before the
Civil War. She had since remark
ed, Father was more interested in
the safety of the house than in
the movements of the stars"
She received her early education
in the public school at Dover and
at the Wilmington Conference
Academy of that city. After her
graduation from Wellesley, she
spent the following 10 years at her
home in Dover and then returned
to college for advanced study in
mathematics. physics and astrOn-
omy. She was a volunteer assist
ant" in the research laboratory at
Radcliffe before going to Harvard
She was the first woman ever
to receive an honorary doctors
degree from Oxford University
and was the first woman ever to
be elected an officer of the Ameri-
can Astronomical Society.
Among IL Greatest
In 1929. she was listed among
IL greatest living American
women" chosen by the National
League of Women Voters.

1t is a fact that the investiga-

REQUIRED READING

The labels on cans are becom-
ing required reading" for efficient
housewives. For significant pro-
gress has lately been made toward
that long-desired goal-a system Of
food labelling that would tell the
consumer, in clear terms, precise
ly what the can contains.
This step forward is the achieve
Inent of two groups-the organized
consumers and the organized re-
tailers. Both have been working
together for a long time In solving
the many technical problems that
informative labelling presents.
When the National Association Of
Food Chains, representative or
ganization of all this country's inn
portant grocery systems. Joined the
membership roster of the National
Consumer Retailer Council, the la
beling movement received tremen-
dous stimulus.
At the present time, number of
important food chains have agreed
to use the new informative labels
for fruits and vegetables. Other
chains will join the movement soon.
And it is expected that packers will
cooperate.
The labels are models of sim
pIicity and clarity. Grade A signi-
fies contents of the highest quality,
representing but a small part OF
the total pack, selected at the peak
of flavor. Grade B signifies choice
quality, excellent in appearance
and with fine favor, and but slight.
ly inferior to Grade A. For the
thrifty, Grade C is offered-stand-
ard products, of good but not fancy
quality, and suitable for all general
purposes where the finest appear
