cialization."
DIR. Perkins also read letter
from Mr.. Poets explaining his
choice of setting for the painting
I'VE know that Miss Cannon
was a very unassuming person do
ing her laborious work without
thought of recognition" Mr.. Poets
stated, "She enjoyed going to in
ternational gatherings of astrono-
mers and these were often held in
imposing surroundings Probably
she avoided wearing the Oxford
required, but we can be certain
that she would not have, worn it
carelessly and apologetically."
The portrait, about two-thirds life
size is mounted in narrow gold
frame with a circular gold mat.
The background is that of the
heavens filled with stars, charac-
teristic of her interest and most
significant achievements.
Miss Cannon was born in Dover
in 1863 Her father, Wilson Lee
Cannon. was of Scottish descent
and was a prosperous shipbuilder.
AS state legislator in the critical
days before the Civil War, he cast
the deciding vote which placed
Delaware on the side of the Union
in the question of secession.
During ner childhood Miss Can
non became interested in astrono-
my and this interest was encour-
aged by her mother. Following
graduation from the Wilmington
Conference Academy, she was en-
rolled at Wellesley College and
later continued her work at the
Harvard College Observatory.
She became Curator of astro-
nomical photographs at Harvard
in 1911 and catalogued more than
100000 stellar bodies in "The
Henry Draper Catalogue" and its
subsequent extension volumes.
Miss Cannon's work brought her
fame as one of the worlds fore
most women astronomers and a
pioneer in variable star research
She was awarded honorary degrees
by many colleges and universities
including Wellesley, the Univer-
sity of Delaware, the University OF
Georgia and Mt. Holyoke College
She was the first woman to be
elected tC honorary membership in
the Royal Astronomical Society of
Great Britain and the first woman
to receive an honorary degree from
Oxford University. She also was
the first woman recipient of the
Henry Draper Gold Medal, pre-
sented to her by the National Acad-
envy of Science in 1881. In 1923,
she was named one of the IL great
est living women by the National
League of Women Voters.
Miss Cannon died in Boston at
the age of " in 1871. 1t is said
that many supposedly recent astro-
nomical discoveries are carefully
recorded in journals which she
prepared many years ago.

1858 FARM FIRE LOSS

Farm fires in this country in
1858 destroyed about $156, 900, 900
worth of livestock, machinery,
crops and buildings.
This was $4,000,000 more than
in 1857 and continued an upward
trend started in 1910.
A factor in the rise has been
the increasing cost of replacing
farm items destroyed by fire,

Accidents killed 655 "other guys" during the Fourth of

Three hundred and seventy "other guys" died in traffic,
1872 by drowning, and SO in miscellaneous accidents.
Not one of those 655 thought an accident could or would
happen to him.
The "other guy" is all of us. No one is immune from acct
dent. Or rather, everyone is immune to the extent of his own
caution or common sense.
This fourth of July many will be taking a long holiday
