Astronomy Notes
BY OLAF HALvERSON

Since our last observation, Jupi-
ter has moved eastward into the
handle of the Sickle" and is close
to the star called Regulus.
Jupiter is a planet striped with
many light and dark belts when
viewed through a telescope. These
belts are Of varying colors and
widths. They are parallel to one
another and to the equator Of Jul
piter.
The equatorial zone is about Is
degrees broad and is the lightest
in color. Almost in the center OF
this belt there is a narrow dark
stripe. Larger telescopes reveal a
variety Of spots and streaks in this
zone. The markings in this area do
not seem to be very permanent. 1t
seems to be region Of physical
commotion.
Bordering the central zone of
Jupiter on either side are two
broad reddish belts about 20 de-
grees wide. They show very little
disturbance.

Why is it taking SO long to
determine whether the vaccine
is successful? The answer lies
mainly in the magnitude of
the experiment and the thor
oughness with which the re-
suits are being tabulated. Al
though 650.000 children were
inoculated with the vaccine or
a control serum, more than
100000 children who received
no injections at all are par
ticipating in the study by serv-
ing as an additional control
group. This makes a total of
100000 children who are un-

The thoroughness with which
the vaccine is being tested will
pay dividends in the form of a
positive answer to the question:
Does the vaccine work? And
If so, how well? The National
Foundation for Infantile Pa
ralysis has so much confidence
in the vaccine that last October
it ordered 50 million worth
rs million c.c.-from five drug
manufacturers. enough to give
9 million people three injec-
tionS each. If the Ann Arbor
tests are positive, and the vac
cine is licensed by the Federal
Government. among the first
to be inoculated will be the

pated in the mass test but who
were given the ineffective con-
