ASTRONONERS LOOK FOR RACING COMETS Discovered Decades Ago Due for Reappearance in the Skies Cambridge, Mass, Sept, 20, — As- tronomers are on the watch for twe comets, both discovered many decades Ao, which speeding over their rather vneertain courses through the skies, L3 bout due for reappearanece, One of these Interesting visitors is DiVieo's “long period” comet of 1846, yopuldrly ki n as the Mexican War comet because just on the outbreak of that confliet, it was observed by Pro- fessor W, C, Bond, of the Harvard ob- servatory, on Feb, 26, 1846, Profes. sor P, Di Vico, of Rome, also found the comet independently with his telescope two er, and because he officlally recorded its coming, his fellow astronomers have given it his rame, Professor DI Vico observed his comet godsen for two months, when it passed from view, It was reckoned that it would appear in 76.71 years, with & “period of uncertainty~ of thrée years. In 1910 it was within $00,000,000 miles of the earth, some- where bétween the orbits of Mars and Jupliter, and the sclentists of the skics decided that it might appear to them any time between 1921 and 1925, When it does come, it will not bhe visible to “the man in the street,” Harvard college observatory officials say. Comets, they explain may at any time be thrown completely out af their accustomed course by getting too near the sun or a planet, these hodies acting so as to give the strang- er a sorv of “ki¢k” to one side or the other, The second comet that astronomers are on theé lookout for this year is that discovered by and named for D'Arrest,'who saw it from Leipsic June 27, 1851. It returned in 1857, , 1870, 1877, 1890, 1897 and 1910, 1t was due in 1917 but the telescope failed to find it. Astronomical calcu- lations showed that it might be seen, “by telescope only,” on 25 or 30 dates of 1923 but the astronomers of the world who report their discoveries to the Harvard observatory as a clear- ing house of information, have not , picked it up as yet. Its schedule calls for visibility in various ports of the heavens with the aid of high powered lenges on September 3, 8§, 13, 18, 23 and 28 and October 3, 8,13 and 18, The Harvard observatory does fiot specialize on investigating comets partly because its location does not lend itself to such observations as well a8 do these of other astronomical statiens'in the United States and Europe. Im this country, the observa- tories which may be sald to make comets a specialty are Lick observa- tory of the University of California, Yerkes at \Williams Bay, Wisconsin, and the naval observatory at Wash- ington.

Be- cause spelling will be used by count- less generations, the present absurd standards of spelling should be re- formed once and for all by measure- ment. Spelling should be super-stand- ardized. It behooves the enginecring profession to lead the way, show the method and go to the limit to find the one best way to do work and to standardize the elements of things and methods that will permit the greatest savings of time and the ac- quiring of the greatest quantitics of the durable satisfactions of life,” Dr, Gilbreth said. Some engineers are already mem- bers of the Simplified Spelling board, Dr. Gitbreth pointed out. He asserted that modern scientific methods, if ap- plied to the question, would detect all forms of mental hesitation and waste motion in writing and in type- writer operation. This step, he be- lieves, will be the real beginning of a standardization of everything else.

THIEVES IN VIENNA Too Few Police, Too Many Crooks Are City's Woes, Vienna, Sept. 20.—Property of vari- ous kinds, worth about 750 milliard crowns, was stolen in Vienna in the first five months of this year, Burg- laries have become a mere common occurrence particularly in the busi- ness sections of the city. The result of this has been that there are very few valuable goods such as jewelry or fine dry goods shown in the windows. They remain in the safes and store rooms until they are called for and they are only shown when the dealer is convinced of the intentions of the would-be purchasers. The police have been unable to stop these thefts owing to their own rapid- ly diminishing ranks which is exactly opposite to what is going on in the ranks of the thieves, Circus Peanuts and Pink Lei SPECIAL MUSIC NEW PRICES EVENINGS—Orchestra MATINEES—Orchestra ORE IN HER This new walking shoe from and Russian Calf Oxfords, Leaming, May Hold Important I'ov' and a dapper youth sauntered out of | “What will you give on this bus?" | a consultation took | the owner of the| | automobile was informed that no loan | lodged a formal complaint with the proper authori- | pawnshop has now | STARTING FOR THE TAILORED GIRL —or her Polo Coat, or any other smart daytime costume. smart simplicity and beautiful finish which women who have worn these shoes expect to find in them.
