BEAUTY

A note to-those who think
That beauty must be fair,
Pale hands-cheeks pink,
Blue eyes and golden hair:
Behold a sepia lass in moonlight,
A rich brown cameo carved beyond
Compare, rhythmic grace, true delight,
Brother, keep your faded blonde!
Beauty is the demonstration
That Natures hand can trick the eye,
The glamor that gives citation,
May make another wonder why.
The scene must ever play part,
1t is but natural we should boast,
That we know beauty from the heart;
It's just the best that we see most
In deep environs where maids Are tan,
Brown is beauty's pattern,
The pale distaff seems jaded, wan,
Looks though beautiful, a slattern.

TALBOT SUPPORTS BOYS IN SERVICE
Free Mailing Privileges Recommended By COP. Congressional Nominee

Free postal privileges for men and women in the nations armed serv- ices were advocated by Commis- sioner Joseph E. Talbot. Republican candidate for congressman in the special election Jan. 20, in a radio talk over both Stations WATR and VERY this noon.
 The Republican candidate pointed to the low wages paid members of the Army. Navy and Marine corps. The government, he said. should recognize the sacrifices being made by the fighting forces and their auxiliaries.
 Free mailing for those in the service, he declared. would not add greatly to the burden of the post office department, since virtually unlimited franking privileges are now enjoyed by members of con- gross and by federal agencies.
 The talk was the first of a series of radio addresses which Commis- sioner Talbot will deliver during his campaign. His headquarters an- nounced today that a detailed schedule Is now being worked out.

Fire Marshal Dennis J. La.hey said
 this morning, in a warning issued to residents of wateroury. that the local fire department will enforce the state law regarding the storage of old Christmas trees in buildings and on premises.
 And in an interpretation of the state law, Fire Marshal Lahey said that "dry Christmas trees are q fire hazard and their storage in any part of Q building or premises con- stitutes a violation within the language of tEis act. The fire mar. shal read the provisions of the act applicable to Christmas trees and greens.
 The marshal warned the house holders not to store Christmas trees or greens after Tuesday. which Is the Feast of Epiphany or Twelfth night. He said that traditionally the trees and greens gre burned on that holiday.

 We note particularly the Milky Way which spreads in a broad band from the eastern horizon through the zenith, the overhead point, and dips again below the horizon in the northwest. This Milky Way, or Gall axy, represents the vast majority of the stars which make up the unit of the physical universe to which the sun and the earth belong. All the other individual stars visible in the sky also belong to our Galaxy. The only objects in the sky which are outside of the Milky Way sys- arc separate galaxies themselvs, tenn are the spiral nebulas. These mad up of myriad stars just as our Milky Way system is. An observer situated on 6 planet In one of these would undoubtedly see our Galaxy as . distant spiral nebula of vast size. While the telescope and the photographic plate have revealed thousands of such island universes, the only one that is visible to the unaided eye is the Great Nebula in Andromeda, seen as a dim blur of light under favorable atmospheric conditions. Even a large telescope does not serve to reveal its spiral structure, which Is shown only by photographs of fairly long exposure. This galaxy in Andromeda Is about a million nght-years away from Us and the latest observations indicate that 1t is comparable in size witl, our own galaxy. Until this fact was discovered 1t was considered that our galaxy was one of exceptionally great size. Further study of the ex- tent of the spiral nebulas will tii1- doubtedly reveal many island uni- verses of the same size and possibly also of much larger physically united aagregations of stars.
