really playing return engage
ment. The same star behaved in
i a similar way in 1866, increasing
its brightness by several hundred
times in the course of a few hours
and then in the next few weeks
! sinking again into obscurity. In the
80 years between outbursts, the
star was far too faint to be seen
without a telescope, but astrono-
mers watched it closely and found
that although faint it changed its
brightness slightly from time to
time.
These spectograms obtained at
the 40 inch telescope were taken
with a special kind of a camera
which spreads the beam of spare
light into band of colors like a
straight rainbow. Certain colors
are missing from the band because
gasses in the atmosphere of the
star block their passage.
Since each different gas blocks
different set Of colors, it is posi-
BILE to tell from the missing colors
what gases must be present in the
| stellar atmosphere. The velocity
of the gases can also be inferred
from a spectrogram. Together
with other information relating to
| their temperature and density.

crown.
I did not remember ever seeing
a bright star there before. AS soon
as I got home I looked up the
northern crown in my atlas. 1t
showed no bright star just south
of the crown. I knew then that
the star was nova, that is, very
faint star which has suddenly in
creased its brightness by several
hundred times.
I summoned DR.. William w.
Morgan of the observatory staff
and we went to the observatory
With the help OF Mr.. Guido Munich
and Mr.. Arne Slettebak, we photo
graphed the star through two diff
ferent telescopes. One of the tele-
scopes is more than go feet long
and has lens 40 inches across.
This is the largest lens in the
world.
From the spectrograms taken
with this telescope we found that
the star is throwing off huge guam
titles of white hot hydrogen gas
which is rushing away from the
star at a speed of several thousand
miles second.
Examination of another star At

Telephones were as hard to get

local telephone company advertis-

phones in business houses. At the

a shortage of materials would make
it necessary for applicants to wait

that "a new tube will be given free

Gables from Japan today car
ried the news that the country OF
the Rising Sun had appropriated
$110, 900, 900 for the Army and Navy
to be used for developments dur
ing the coming year"
Do not become excited-Mac-
Arthur has not let you down. The
above dispatch was received by
news bureaus in this country on
Feb. IL, 1920.
Writers on that date sneered edi-
torially at the prospect OF the
following statements:
No military man can take the
talk of the appropriations seriously
for Japan could never become a
threat to the United States :"
IAN invasion would require con.
siderable pre-invasion training and
a large number of troops would
have to be rallied to defeat the
militia and regular army of this
country now on duty at Pacific
outposts. -
"a large fleet would be required
for transporting troops which would
necessitate the using Of every avail
able passenger and cargo vessel.
The absence of those ships from the
regular shipping lanes would cause
suspicion to be aroused and would
give the United States ample time
to prepare for the invasion. :"
mo matter how secretly the Jap
aaese government would conduct
such an invasion, the American
Navy would have time to concen.
trate in the Pacific. . :"
1T is a first principle Of war
between nations that one of them
shall gain mastery of the sea be.
fore veaturing out with its loaded
transports-Japan would be going
some to attain that. -
These quotations from news
stories about the middle of Febru
airy, 1920 remind one of the situa.
ton that exists today regarding the
atomic bomb. Today it is the
secret of this nation. Tomorrow -:

The brightest star of the seven

A misunderstanding between the
Board of Trustees of the Property
and the Board of Management OF
the YWCA was behind the delay
of the YWCA in occupying the
former Soldiers Center on North
Parish Street, it was revealed last
week.
According to reports the Board
of Trustees of the property has
held that the property belongs to
the Negro citizens of Jackson and
Is administered by self perpet-
-uating Board of Trustees. The
Board of Trustees take the posi-
ton that the property can be
used for YWCA purposes but that
the title should remain permanent
ly in the name of the Negro c1ti-
zens of the city. They also said
that the YWCA is only branch
of the white YWCA and to turn
the property over without reser-
walton would legally be transferr-
ing title to the property TO the
white YWCA.
To preserve the title the Board
of Trustees is asking the YWCA
