of the first magnitude star Aide baran in Taurus on the morning of January 11th at about ! o'clock. The mechanics of an occultaticn Is simply explained. The moon, which Is the closest celestial body to the earth, moves in. between the earth and star or plant thus plotting 1t from our view for as long as 1t takes the moon to move through the field of stars past a given point. This of course depends upon what portion of the lunar disk actually produces the phenomenon for the observers position. It will differ in different attitudes and from . large part of the earth no occultation may be ob- served but only @ close approach.
 On January End, at about 2 p. m.. eastern standard time, the earth will be In perihelion. the point of its of- bit nearest the sun. Its distance from the latter will then be approx 'imately ninety.one million miles h- stead of the ninety three million miles which Is close to the average distance for the year. At perihelion tn earth receives about seven per cent more heat. as whole, from the sun than at the time of aphelion which is always early in July. This has but a minor effect on the phe- nosnenon of the seasons which Is due mainly to the fact that the earth's axis of rotation, or polar axis, is inclined at an angle of twenty-three and one-half degrees from the per- pendicular to the plane of the earth's orbit of revolution about the sun. As a direct result of this, the sun attains higher attitudes in the sky and stays up longer over the horizon, for half the year in one hemisphere than in the other. The northern hemisphere has Its summer and winter when the southern is experiencing winter and summer, re- spectively. The further north or south we go the greater are the sea- sonal differences. At the equator there are no seasons and In tn trop- teal zone the differences are com parative!y slight.

OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

There is now going in many sections of the
Nation, the subject Of our educational system
whether it will measure up to the emergency
Some have suggested that this is the time to
cut out ancient history and study modern reality
Can not do without Latin and perhaps study
the Language of foes like Japanese Spanish
which few Americans know-very few in COMPARE
son with the number of our enemies who know
English
Can not drop art courses Injuries and
train for mechanics instead?
And when all of the non essentials are dropped
for the duration, cannot high schools and col
leges speed up their courses, so that more useful
Americans will be turned out in shorter time than
ever before in our history?
At time like this there should be question
higher classes as: What in the world shall I do
when 1 graduate?"
There so many needs today as to make such
a question absurd Mentors should give him or her
a genuine awareness of what this is all about
1t educators thinking of education
in time along the old academic times and jidg
ing wartime educational value by standards which
moldy before the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Colleges could have three-year courses at most
and every one should be useful coordinated with
defense. There is also seemingly why
along preparatory lines.
There is real urge among young people of this
college and high school age to be useful and the
educational institutions should lead the way. We
have no time to waste.

While this first day of the week
is not important in its aspects
there is a good sign for merchants
and men who are business execu-

HEART AND HOME: Intensity
of emotion is probable under this
configuration which presages mes
sages from distant loved ones
Families will be in closer sympathy
and understanding while this con-
figuration continues. Fathers, will
feel unusually heavy responsibility
toward wives and daughters who
will have widening interests in pub
lie service. This is not an auspici-
Gus date for the love interests OF
the young, but letters will be in
spring to girls. The seers warn
against unwise romances which will
fade when the aura of war excite
ment disappears

stars foretell tendency for small
communities to establish branch
shops and to seek economic indie
