Feb. of planet known to astronomers as'the ‘“crepe ring” on account of the fact that it i much less brilliant than the others, has a thickness of 2,000 miles, while the other rings are very much thin- ner, rcording to observations made by Professor William H. Pickering, of Harvard at the Harvard As- tronomical station at Mandeville, Ja- maica. The Cambridge, Mass., inner ring the thickness of the rings of Sat- urn matter which has long at- tracted the interest of astronomers. This planet is surrounded by what appears through a small telescope to be a single flat ring of exceeding thin- ness. Through a larger telescope this is seen to be in reality three concen- tria ring. Every sixteen vears or so the earth passes through the plane of these rings, which arc then in a position edgewise to the earth. So thin are they that for a while they disappear and cannot be seen until the weth moves out of their plane. This phenomenon occurred on November 7 and will occur again on Febraary and August 3 of this year, after which there will be no opportunity of ob- serving It again for sixteen vears. Professor Pickering reports that he observed the rings just betore the No- vember transit, and found the inner ring to be thicker than the others. Estimating it to be 2,000 miles thick. He nalso reports that in the outer » of the second ring the meteors be more concentrated than is a em to elsewhere Astronomers bhelieve these rings to composed of innumerable small revolving in dense swams middle portions of the be nieteors 1bout the plan Professor Plekering hopes to :iake observations during -he Fob- ruary transit He is also engaced in stydying the canals on the Mars. and in searching for the undiscovered planet which is belie to gevolve around the sun far oufsids the orbit of Neptune, the outermost planet yet discovered in the 3olar sys- tem.

EFFECT ON LABOR | Workmen Demand More Money to Meet Increased Cost ol Living 22 —Gradually increas- Berlin have caused a corresponding increase in the | Berlin, Feb. | Inx prices for food in demands of workmen for higher wages and strikes, or the threat of strikes, hang over virtually every business in the city. Approximately 1,000,000 persons are reported unemployed in Germany, the majority of them 1a reduced circum- stances, some facing starvation. Four months ago 284,181 women were seek- ing employment, according to the labor ministry's estimate, and it was announced 300,000 persons shortly will be out of work or on short time, the support themselves. Nearly every municipality in many is occupied with the problem of providing work for unemployed and adjusting wage difficulties, in an effort to forestall the spread of strikes and further discontent. The meat shops of Berlin are well stocked with choice cuts and have large supplies of imported cheese, oils, pickles and other viands, but, as win- ter advances, prices continue to go up and sales fall off. With nothing saved from summer wages, workmen are facing the problem of expenditures for fuel for heat and warm clothes in addi- tion to food and the fact that the pay of many falls short of meeting these expenses has caused a spread of unrest. Sporadic strikes already have oc- cured, not only in Berlin but alse in the provinces and, while there has been no evidence that a general strike is probable, the situation is causing state and municipal governments much con- cern Proprietors of food shops say prices are higher than they were a year ago when nothing was being imported be- canse a vigilant watch is Kkept on smuggling and import duties, now being paid, afte necessarily added to the retail price of commoditie result they latter being unable to earn enough to | (;cr-\l | say only the very well to do and for- ! cigners are able to buy imported stuffs.

These prices have shown a gradual increase since February and it is expected will continue to rise during the winter. While bread is still rationed, meat cards are no longer issued. It is said they are unnecessary because the peo- ple generally cannot buy meat at pre- vailing prices unless wages are greatly ! advanced. In spite of the well stocked shops, the meat supply is reported only half the amount on hand during the same months before the war. CARE FOR PACIFIC FLEET Pecarl Harbor. S.

It is asserted that in House of Commons that the in- terned men would be accorded treat- ment similar to that normally given prisoners of war is far from correct., ‘“The prisoners are given wholly in- sufficient food and many of them go hungry,”” the paper declares. ‘‘Even this food they are unable to make the most of, as they do all their own cook- ing and are allowed less than half the camp the supply of coal necessary.’’ There is no hot water in the camp, no wash house and no drying room, the article continues, and it is therefore necessary for the prisoners to do their washing as best they can in cold water and dry their laundry wherever they ‘““Many of the prisoners,’” the state- ment gees on, ‘‘are practically bare- footed,’’ saying no arrangements have been made for supplying them with boots or even for repairing those they have. It is charged that, while the prison- ers are permitted to receive parcels, ‘‘almost invariably part of the contents is pilfered by the English troops in the camp.’” The prisoners suffer intensely cold and underfeeding, it is stated. ““Every batch of prisoners who have arrived at the camp during the last month,’’ the article goes on, ‘‘have complained of their treatment en route. One batch of 26 men left a certain camp near Dublin on Sunday evening and did not arrive in Ballykinlar until Tuesday evening. During this time they received practically no food, the mili- tary guard having forgotten the prison- rations. ; i JUST A LOVE NEST Yes, more than once you've heard it sung.
