PAGE FOUR PALOMAR, KEY TO THE UNIVERSE UTOPIA FOR STAR-GAZERS att. EYEING THE EYE: Byron Hill, construction superintendent at Palomar, views the place where the camera will be installed, 55 feet from 200:inch mirror. Star light will be re- flected by mirror and recorded by camera. By RALPH DIGHTON SHUTTERING and looks at AP Newsteatures ASADENA, Calif.—Unless scientists of the 25th century have solved the problems of interplanetary travel, they'll prob- ably still be using the $6,250,000, 200-inch telescope now near- ing completion atop Palomar Mountain. . There's no better place on earth for a telescope of this mag- nitude, says Dr. John A. Anderson, executive officer of the Ob- servatory Council of the California Institute of Technology, in charge of the Palomar telescope project. The moon might be a better spot for star gazing because it hes no atmosphere. But as long as science remains earthbound | Pglomar will be important. *: Atmosphere above Palomar is clear virtuaily every night @f the year. The site is only 185 miles from Caltech, and a good paved road runs all the way to the top. Palomar Moun- tain itself is a solid block of granite, 30 miles long, 10 miles wide and 25 miles deep.

THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | Chapter 29 { HE looked so woebegone that Susan could not take offense, though she did say, “I wouldn't know about that. You selected them—remember?” . ‘That's right.” He nodded, grin- ; ning. “It was something about circulation figures, wasn’t it?” he | added in a bantering tone, “May- be I should have my head ex- amined—eh, Susie?” ., Maybe,” Susan laughed. “But | if you think the Mansfields be- | haved shabbily, you don’t know | the half of it. Tell him, Mrs. Tre- mont, I haven’t got the heart. Bet- ter break it to him gently, or he4 might go out and cut his throat.” “You tell him, Susan. You might be able to soften the blow.” Mrs. Tremont was smiling, although. it was clear that she was a little worried, Steve, howevet, refused to be serious. Now that four of the | guests were gone and the others |; Were going, he felt considerably better about the whole thing. Al- so, Susan seemed to be in a much friendlier mood—and that was the biggest help of all. “What is all this anyhow?” he demanded in the same bantering voice. “Just what's happened now in this little comedy of errors? Don’t tell me the Gaineses have run off with the silver, or that the Peytons are acting up? The Pey- tons are my idea of what a hap- pily married couple should look like, even if little Annie is the world’s champion liar.” “Oh, the. Peytons are all right,” Mrs, Tremont hastened to ‘assure him. “They’re nice young people and deeply in love. Anne Peyton just wanted _a honeymoon, like other eee ney i be leaving in a little While. A friend of theirs is driving down from Springfield to pick them up.” SN was’ trying hard not to laugh. This latest development was hot amusing, she kept telling herself. But it did no good at all, and suddenly she was laughing until the tears were coming out of her eyes. Steve was watching her as if she'd gone out of her mind, and Mrs. Tremont was staring at her accusingly. N.D.s, Osteopaths, ment Store, will be awarded tothe field met.to discuss progress ' By Caroline Hall “It’s the Gaineses — Bella and Frank,” she announced between giggles. “They’re the kind that come early and stay late. They were the first to get here—re- member?” Steve nodded. “Well?” . “They don’t want to go home,” returned Susan, still laughing. “Bella said they’d just started having a good time. Said Steve is such a wonderful host they wanted to stay on a few days. They haven’t even started to pack!” She almost added, “And I haven’t either.” “I don’t see anything so funny about it.” Mrs. Tremont, who was seated in one of the big chairs, got up. “It’s disgraceful.” “It. 's such a good joke on Steve.” Susan wiped the tears from her eyes with a blue linen handkerchief which she took out of her dress pocket. “He selected the winners—he and Linda Mur- chison. Thought they were smart. And now their guests have gone on a sit-down strike, because they don’t want to go home!” Steve’s face flushed with resent- ment, but he said nothing. He did not relish the idea of being laughed at, and the coupling of his name with Linda’s he decided, was unfair. Susan should know without being told that he had no interest in Linda. “They're going home — and soon,” Mrs. Tremont announced with sudden decision. “Mr. Gellis has given them a wonderful week. He's spent a lot of money and a lot of time entertaining them. He’s had a lot of headaches. It’s a shame for them to abuse’ his hospitality like this. I intend to go up and have a talk with them. And you, Susan, should be ashamed of yourself for laugh- ing like that. What’s come over you? I’ve never seen «you so ill-mannered. One wouwld think you'd encouraged these people to stay.” “Oh, but I didn’t! And I am ashamed. But I—I just couldn't help it.” Susan got up from the divan and started to follow Mrs. Tremont. “Sorry, Steve. I'll go up and tell them the party’s over, Mrs. Tremont. You don’t need to do it.” The woman motioned her back to the divan, “Stay where received, bringing her} Indiana, August you are, Susan. I'll handle-it my- self. Otherwise we'll never .get away from here. I’ll not only. fell them to go home; I'll see that they do go—even if I have to-take them all the way to Cordele, Georgia, myself!” iS That she was fully capable of such a thing was clearly evid by the set of her chin and’ the rigid line of her back as she hur- ried out of the room, é “Why, she means it!” Susan sat down again on the divan.' “I've never seen Mrs. Tremont get ‘ex- cited: before, much less lose her temper. She’s usually so calm anid self-possessed. She’s mad at me too because I—I laughed.” “Anything can happen around here,” snapped Steve. He came over to the divan and sat down at the other end, mopping: his brow with his handkerchief. “It’s enough to drive a man nuts. Why I've put up with all you nitwits this long is more than I can un- derstand. Now go ahead and laugh.” V4 Susan had never felt less like laughing in her life.
