REPORTING METHOD
 MAY BE RETAINED
Extension of Privilege Aid to Employers in PrOvid-
 ing Benefit Data

Hartford, Conn.,, July 3.-Reten- ton for further trial of the separa- tion method of reporting in the regulations of the employment se- curity division strongly urged by representatives of employers at a recent public hearing, was an- nounced today by the division.
 The separation reporting method IS a privilege extended to less than 100 of the leading employers of la Dor in the state after investigation to establish their stability and fi- nancial soundness. Extension of this privilege eliminates the regt- lar annual report to the unemploy- ment compensation department, of all employees on the pay roll and the amounts earned, but involves special reports which must be filed each time an employe is separated from the pay roll.
 At the recent public hearing, Howard E. Hausman, executive di- rector of the division of employ ment security, told the representa- tives of employers that the division was considering the elimination of separation reporting, in view of complications arising out of new partial benefit procedures and the reduction of the waiting period to one week. Employer representa- tives pointed out then that, if the regu- lations were changed, they would be called on to assume major cler- ical burden at the peak of their season. They urged the retention of the separation reporting method as means of spreading this clerical load over the year.
 In making known the decision, MT. HauSman emphasized that the practicability of the separations method of reporting unedr the changed law is still untried, and that the future of this method would depend on the degree of CO., operation given by employers in re- porting all pay roll changes promptly to the unemployment compensation department.
 The new regulations provide that the privilege will be revoked if the administrator finds that the sepa- rations reports are not submitted with sufficient promptness and ac- curacy to permit the payment of claims on time, or if the number of such reports per year is excessive, as compared with the number of reports which would be required under the regular method of re- porting.

The HeaUens m July Great Triangle of Stars - Motion of the Celestial Pole -
 Earth in Aphei0n
BY DR. CLEMENT S. BRAININ Of The Columbia University Observatory Stan

High up over the eastern horizon lies a great triangle of bright stars each of which is the most brilliant luminary in its own constellation. Vega in the constellation of Lyra, the Tyre or Harp, is highest in the sky; farthest to the northeast is Deneb in Cygnus the Swan, and to the southeast is Altair in Aquila, the Eagle. All of these are of the first magnitude but Vega is the most brilliant star lying north of the celestial equator, and is second only to Sirius among all the stars visible from these northern lati- tudes. Lyra Is a small but inter- esting group. Tn the classical mythology it represented the Harp of OrpheuS trough whose aid that

This will involve the pay ment in full in cash of all allowed creditors claims, including $15, 5,725,- 900 principal amount of old 5 1-2 per cent convertible debentures and &C., crued unpaid interest which amounted to $3,518089 as of June 30, 1941.
 Net proceeds of the sale of $11,- 100000 of debentures and all of the preferred stock are to be used, with other funds from the company's treasury, to pay the allowed claims of all creditors, other than priority creditors, presently admitetd to be due. Such principal payments will total approximately $28,000000 The net proceeds of the sale of $2,500,- 900 of debentures will be used by the company for additional working capital, needed to finance increasing inventories, to meet the require mentS of increased business and, to the extent deemed desirable, to pay allowed claims not otherwise pro- vided for.

 Close to Vega to the eastward are two bright stars known as Beta and Gamma Lyrae. The former is some what closers to Vega. The bright ness of Vega varies due to the fact that 1t Is really a binary system of two stars which periodically eclipse one another and thus produce a regularly recurring diminution in the light which it sends to us. The variation in Beta's light is easily ob- vserved for its magnitude drops to less than half between maximum and minimum. The period is ap- proximately thirteen days. Another pair of stars lies still closer to Vega but are less bright; these are Ep- silon and zeta Lyrae. Epsilon itself is 8 double double" for 1t is a single star to the unaided eye. a double in a weak glass, and each member of this double is in turn resolved by a stronger instrument into pair of stars. zeto, too, is a double star. In the region between Beta and
 Gamma we find the remarkable Ring Nebula in Lyra, which looks like a tenuous ring shaped cloud. photographs and powerful telescopes also reveal a central stellar body The nebula is not really ring but a spheSoidal mass whose outer shell Is much brighter than the inner re- zion. This nebula is one of the so- called planetary nebulae," of which there are less than one hundred and fifty known to us. Only a few are visible without the use of DOW erful instruments. They are glow ing gaseous masses, frequently with 8 stellar condensation of matter in their physical structure. The name planetary" is misnomer and was applied to them by the elder Her schel because they show small disks in the telescope uike the planets, However, they have nothing what soever in common with the latter.
 The earth is in aphelion, the point of its orbit where it is furthest from the sun, on July 2nd at about p. m., eastern standard time. The dis tance which separates us from the sun at that time will be 94,450,O00 miles. Mercury will be a morning star for week preceding and week following its greatest western elongation from the sun, on the 18th. It can then be seen as reddish star just before sunrise. Venus is an evening star but not very high in the sky at sunset but Mars rises about midnight and is bright indeed with its light of red dish hue. Jupiter and Saturn are both morning stars and are irnprov- ing their positions for early ohser- vatioaa.

as is likely, the motion continues without a market change of rate. Alpha Draconis was the pole star some four thousand years ago and one of the Egyptian pyramids seems to have been so oriented. This motion of the pole is, of course, 8 result of the phenomenon known to astronomers as "the pro-
 cession of the equinoxes," which causes the plane of the equator to turn slowly without any change in the angle between it and the plane of the ecliptic or orbital plane of the earth. The turning of the equa- torial plane necessarily carries its polar axis along and thus accounts for the wandering of the celestial pole location. The entire phenom-

 A FEELING

 There's almost an air of decad- aIce to the place because it's such a contrast to the rest of England today. It's not a quiet little country village, around which are farmers who each day till the soil to help feed England. And It's not an in- dustrial city or town, where fac- tories are going full blast as their part in war effort. It's just sleepy resort town housing lot of people, most of whom are scared silly be- heath 6 mantle of calm.
 Only one bomb has been drop- ped on the outskirts of the resort to date, but of that bomb they're still talking. Being located only thirty miles from Plymouth, of course, has not helped their frame of mind. For Plymouth is the worst blitzed city in all England and dur ing the nine nights when German

hero almost reclaimed his beloved Euridice from HadeS and Pluto. At distance of about twenty three light-years from us, Vega is one the closest of the fixed stars to the solar system. It radiates light and heat energy at rate equal to about fifty suns like ours combined into one. Although Altair in Aquila is not nearly so great @ star as Vega, it is still very great star, for its radiation of energy in the form of light and heat is nine times as much as that of the sun. We know thi sfrom its apparent brightness and its distance of about eighteen light-year. Finally Deneb, which to the eye is the least of these three stars, is in truth the most magnificent of them all. Its dis tance is, estimated at over fifteen hundred light-yearS! Its radiating power is many thousand times greater than the sun. Of all the first-magnitude stars only Canopus, in Carina, exceeds it in absolute magnitude, and the difference is comparatively small. Deneb is a true super-giant among stars. While 1t is difficult or wholly impossible to form an adequate idea of such distances, it may be stated by way of comparison that while a light year Is the distance traversed by light in one year, the distance of the sun from the earth, about ninety-three million miles, is only 8 matter of eight minutes at Lhe rate with which light travels.
 Some thousands of years ago, the point in the sky which represents the northern celestial pole of TO- tation, commonly known as the north celestial pole, was closer to Vega than to any other bright star in the sky, and if any inhabitants of the earth at that time, about thirteen thousand years ago, were Vega must have been to them what PolariS is to us today. Tn about twelve thousand years this will again be the case for the celestial pole travels in a small circle about a point known as the celestial north pole of the ecliptic.
 This central point lies in Draco about halfway between Alpha Draconis and Deneb. The radius of the circle is twenty-three and one- half degrees, the same, naturally, as the inclination of the earth's polar axis from the perpendicular direction to the plane of it's orbit. The orbit of this polar motion is completed in about twenty five thousand eight hundred years if,
