Light Notes
By EIeni Sakes

Who will also deny that the un-
lighted stairway to the cellar, where
you stumbled over juniors roller
skates-said accident making you
spend your vacation in beds not
menace to well-being and home
happiness? All that and more is
true of poor lighting. These and
other problems are rapidly being
solved by farseeing research eX-
perts and inventors for the home
maker.
One of the newer things in the
field of lighting is fiuorescent light
ing. This new aid to happier vision
is truly boon. In the picture of
the kitchen accompanying this arti-
Gle, the recessed ceiling fixture for
general illumination is supplement-
ed by local lighting concealed above
the sink and under the cabinets
over the work areas. This gives
Shadowless illumination. Also in
the laundry room, fluorescent CELL
ing fixture for all-over illumina-
ton is provided, plus a lighting unit
III CIle wall tlldC comes OUT Wltn
the ironing board to aid in giving
light when ironing. This lighting
fixture was designed by noted
home economist, who, being a wom-
an, knows what problem lighting
can be when ironing a big wash! /!
Lighting need not only serve a
useful purpose, it can also be turned
to decorative use and made to work
there, too. Fluorescent lighting may
be concealed in cornices, coves, and
in window valances. Other light
ing touches such as another one
featured in the Home of Vision"
is a fluorescent tube concealed in
an antique desk-in a combination
living g-dining room-that serves to
high light colorful figurines and
other objets dart that are housed
in the desk.
More and more progress is slowly
evidencing itself. Modern living
calls for skilful lighting, just as dull
ness, darkness and plush living
called for dimly lit interiors,

WORKING FUR.
From Mrs. A. E. W.. Washington J
First f1atten the fur. Clean with
alcohol. This glazes also. When
dry, comb and brush. There is an
up and down to fur-keep fur all
one way. Pin your pattern on
wrong side and cut pelt with
razor blade. Sew from wrong side.
Press or pinch two edges together
and run needle between to clear the
fur from seams. Sew or overcast
with fine thread, needle and stitches.
It's neatness that counts. The edges
should be faced with tape, Just
like your collar. I have worked with
fur for years, but never tried a hat.
(From Mrs. E. A. W.. Washington
I remodeled a raccoon fur coat
good many years ago and found it
very simple indeed. Yes, it might
be worked as you would material,
If the fur is the same shade every
where. With the raccoon we found
that we had to piece and match the
shades of hair in certain parts, in
order to keep the skin looking as
new and fresh as it did at first, and
also, that the shaded parts blended

Dear Miss Dix: I am a man turned

thought to marriage. I hesitate,

much wrangling between husbands

my own money and spent it as I
chose, which I would not be able to

every morning for cigarette money

BY Thomas r. Henry

The solar system is cosmic frontier
hamlet.
1t lies in the thinly settled fringe OF
the 10000, 900, ,000-star Milky Way galaxy
with at least 80 per cent of all the celes-
tial bodies constituting this vast aggre-
cation closer to the center than the sun
and its family of planets.
This group is moving around the CEN
ter at rate which will require 200,-
100000 years for a complete circuit.
These are findings just reported to
the Carnegie Institution of Washington
by DR.. s.. A. Mitchell, director of the
Mccormick Observatory of the Univer-
sity OF Virginia, as a result of observa-
ton of the motions of more than $1,000
stars from a mountaintop near Char
lottesville. These covered about seven
eighths of the entire area of the sky.
Dr.. Mitchell and his co-workers found
that the solar system and other stars
in its immediate frontier neighborhood
move about the center Of the galaxy
much as planets like the earth move in
yearly orbits around the sun itself.
These movements and the lengths of the
various planetary years are determined
by the law of gravity-that is that two
objects in space are attracted to each
other by force directly proportional
to their masses and inversely proper
tional to their distances apart.

Astronomers Prove Solar
System Moves in Orbit

Previous studies of the motions of
stars and star groups within the galaxy
have indicated some divergence from
this law. In some cases the field of
force seemed to vary directly with the
distance. But with the great number OF
stars studied by DR.. Mitchell and his
collaborators this divergence has been
wiped out and the same laws which ap-
ply to the solar system also apply to
the galaxy, assuming the mass of the
10000, 100000 stars to be concentrated
In the center OF the great star system.
With this fact established the virginia
astronomers were able to fix the position
OF the solar system more precisely than
has been possible before.
DR.. Mitchell also found that the stars,
judging by their movements, can be split
into two classes-the old and young, or
possibly the conservatives and radicals
OF the galactic system. The older stars
move in almost undertaking paths
around the far-off center OF the system.
Nothing turns them aside from the
space roads they have followed for a
few billion years.
The newer stars, on the other hand.
tend to wander OF their ordained paths.
Their orbits are eccentric" They seem
to lack the responsibility Of their older
fellow citizens Of space. Consequently
the older stars appear to be moving
faster-at least they get where they are
going faster The younger stars pre-
sumably are moving just as fast but
they lose time on side excursions.
In both cases, Of course, they are
really going nowhere because to the END
OF time they win keep on moving in cir.
cles, but the older stars will get bacl
to the point where they are now soone,
than the younger ones.
There Is an analogy with the solal
system, DR.. Mitchell points out. TIL.

These Are Ships That Have Carried
Proud Names Around the World
BY A. A. Hoehling

The names Of distinguished men and
women from the District, Maryland and
Virginia were borne worldwide this
past war-from Archangel to Durham.
from Casablanca to Leyte Gull.
These were the military, professional,
business, and statesmen figures for
whom our fieet Of Liberty ship was
named. OF the more than $500 Libertys
which were constructed, ut least It's Of
them perpetuated the memory Of In
dividuals from the District and it, two
neighboring States, according to MARI
time Commission figures.
The Patrick Henry. which was the
hrst Liberty ship built, started Oh the
procession Of illustrious names from
this particular area Of the country. shs
Il still afioat and carrying cargoes,
having come miraculously through NUM-
erous tndersea and aerial attacks.
Illustrious Records
A number of these ships perished In
action against the enemy, others with
their own guns brought their attackers
to watery Golgothas. A number were
lost because Of accidents and other
maritime hazards. But the majority
survived and are still plying the trade
routes Of the world.
There seem to be no parallels that can
be drawn between the lives of their
namesakes and the careers OF the ships.
Some of those named for the mildest
people with the most tranquil life spans
ended up sinking in flames with all guns
firing. And the other way around also
Is true.
So let's pick more or less at random
the names of few of these ships with
which almost every one Is familiar and
see what happened to them.
The Pierre L'Enfant
The Pierre LEnfant (named for the
designer of Washington destroyed three
German planes and helped shoot down
three others which attacked her convoy
in the Mediterranean late In 1943 More
over, one Of the gunners destroyed with
gunfire torpedo heading toward near
by ship, the James G. Blaine. Although
never getting another chance for often
sive action like that again, her luck
held throughout the war.
The Julia Ward Howe
Not so lucky was the Julia Ward
Howe tfor the woman who wrote THE
Battle Hymn Of the Republic" in the old
willard Hotel in Civil War time). on
the Azores, in Gibraltar bound con-
voy, she was hit by two torpedoes, sink
ing with the loss Of four persons.
