competition is underway today,

participate.
Announced in The Detroit Sum-
day Times. the contest is being
held in ID key cities. including
Detroit.
The hope of winning a share in
an overall total of SIS. 900 in war
bond prizes in the nation, spurred
the students as they began giving
more than usual attention to their
history books.
The national awards offer 50 900
first prize. $1,000 second prize.
$500 third, $3.50 fourth, five SlOO
awards. and 80 $50 awards, or a
total of $3.50 in war bonds.

IN addition. all Is cities have
set UP local prizes which insures
total of approximately $500 in
prizes in each city.
In Detroit. The Detroit Times
has supplemented the $3.50 in
national awards with more than
81 900 in war bonds, TO be dis
tributed among outstanding his
tory students in the public high
schools. This newspaper also is
awarding 500 sets of books on
the study of American history to
the high schools making the best
showing in the competition.

ing film of matter, cosmc thread linking the
two twin stars This filament broke up shortly
and its pieces cooled, becoming planets.
Since there are thousands of Cepheid variable
stars and many are near the rupture point, the
possibilities of forming planetary systems of
their own are many.
BY the older theories one planetary system
per galaxy was a good outside bet. Now, how
ever, any galaxy of stars could probably have
several-maybe hundreds.
Whether these planets support life, as does the
earth. is yet unknown, but scientists do know
that the chemical elements exist, and the laws of
chemistry and physics are obeyed, throughout
the universe
Thus if conditions just right the
other planets to duplicate those earth there
is no reason why life could not come into being
as it did upon the earth in the distant past.
In all probability many Of these outer non-solar
system planets cannot support life. They are
probably too hot, like the planet Mercury of our
own solar system.
Others, too, may be getting ready to support
life like Venus in our planetary system.
But the unchanging rule about nature is that
it changes. What today may be planet incapable
of supporting life may in the future become the
home of animals and plants like those we know
upon the earth
There is even the possibility that some of the
outer yctundiScovcred planets are far ahead of
the earth in fashioning a special race of great
men and gigantic plants.
Perhaps at this moment these outer
cosmic planetary geniuSeS are peering at our
small earth and watching the tiny earth-peopleS
it looking up into the sky through funny
looking things they call telescopes looking
and as they look bordering If life other distant
worlds like theirs really does exist

contains oxygen, nitrogen carbon dioxide and
some of the rare inert gases like argon and kryp-
ton as its main ingredients.
On earth men and plants have adapted them
selves to living in such atmosphere but the
Cygnusian and plants would have to make
the switch 10 breathe lots Of hydrogen.
Since hydrogen Is used TO initiate barrage bal
looms and was once used aboard giant arships.
maybe the breathing OF bouyant hydrogen gas
would help overcome the tremendous drag Of
gravity on 81 Cygnus C.

parent suns were great the atmosphere OF 81 Cyg'

gen in the formula CHA II Is found In a frozen
state on the outer planets like Jupiter OF our own
little solar system. the satellites that still con-
tain great amounts OF hydrogen. Frozen methane
might be on CygnuS also.
But whether speculation over life on 81 Cygnus
&C is plausible not there Is no doubt about the
Importance of the new discovery in upsetting
astronomers theories on how planetary systems
be formed and the probable number that may
be- present in the outer universe.
Under old theories having planetary system
around sun was piece OF remote astronomical
luck. II happened so rarely that our solar system
stood good chance of being the only one in all
OF space. Since the earth alone among the solar
planets seemed TO be the only one that could sup
port life know IL. man indeed seemed TO be
something unique, odd and outstanding. But It's
all different now.
Finding a new planet right in our own star
galaxy without worrying over all the other mil
lions of galaxies in space. Is important confirma
ton for the theory of Allahabad Unversity's
Professor A. c. Banerji.
Older theories said outer planets-if there were
outer planetS-would most probably be found In
far off other worlds and not right next door to
the earth and the
Planet 81 Cygnus c may be IL light years

about a week before continuing a
campaign to the Westward and In
terror. He is accompanied by Mrs.
Ziegler.
A veteran in First Division poll
tics, Ziegler has served three ses-
sions in the legislature, receiving
each time more votes than any
other candidate. Several years ago
when he ran against Anthony j..
Dimond for delegate he carried the
First Division by a wide margin.
Ziegler clarified his stand on
statehood today in the following
words
Il say there is only one practi-
cal way of approaching any prob
lem. Go at it in a business way,
get all of the facts connected with
it, on both sides.
Both political parties in Alaska
have always endorsed home rule
and self government. There's no ar
gument there as far as statehood
! is concerned. I heartily agree with
the statehood plank adopted by the
Democratic Party. It's sound in
principle and would cure many
ills.
But no man in Alaska has suf-
ficient information to say definitely
whether Alaska can or cannot sup
port itself as state.
1T is admitted by most that we
don't get statehood as long as the
war continues, anyhow. suggest
that we use this breathing spell to
assemble all of the facts which are
necessary to determine the practi-
cability of the plan.

able figures on what the added cost
might be, a. study of the cost of

how much money the Federal Gov

should get this study in an unbiased
and competent manner.
