I did not know him before his election two years ago, but, in our. intercourse during the last year and half, he has always shown a keen under standing of our problems, has made most valuable suggestions, has been thoroughly cooperative in carrying forward the various plans of the council, and has especially helped by vigorous and resourceful hand ling of matters involving confer ences with officials in Washington.
 Governor Hurley has not only been an able and efficient war gov- ernor, but, in his personal relations, has shown himself a loyal and warm hearted friend.

Their distance apart in the sky is only four and one-half degrees. which enables us to recognize them at once. Some three hundred years ago an astron- omer made a list of the brighter stars and named Castor, Alpha Geminorum and Pollux, Beta. This reversed the general order in which the brightest star of any constella- tion is termed the Alpha of that constellation. It is possible that in the intervening span of years the relative brightness of the two stars has changed. As a matter of fact. Castor is the more interesting of the two stars for telescope shows that 1t is a binary system and the spec troscope reveals that each of the two components seen in the tele- scope it itself a double system and that another small star. also 8 dou- ble. belongs to the Castor system. Thus we have in what appears to the eye as single star really a star system composed of six mem bers. The closer member stars move about their centers of gravity in orbits and each doublet moves about the center of gravity of the entire system. It takes the two bright sets about three hundred years to com- plete a revolution and the smaller companion set revoives in its orbit in a period extending over many thousands of years.
 The Planets
 The only two planets which are in good position for observation dur ing the present month are Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter has turned into an evening star: 1t is gradual ly increasing in brightness and at- tainS a stellar magnitude Of minus g." It lies below the Heavenly Twins and Is almost stationary in It's poe sition amongst the stars during the entire month. Saturn is Ia Taurus, higher up in the sky than Aide baran.

Changes Suggested for Health.
A District Health Department
official, questioned on reports that
beds were crowded too close to-

were inadequate, said that the de-
partment had suggested re-
arrangement of cots that would
meet United States Public Health
Service standards. He said toilet
facilities were near what they
should be" and that they would be
corrected.
The ventilating system was
termed inadequate by this official,
but he said that with the installa-
ton Of the heating system, an i'm

be made.
Mr.. Ney pointed out that the
Army allowance for rooming per

saving each man $14.20 q month

agreed with Army officials to

Capt. Clapp admitted the rental
