BAKER (Professor of Astronomy, Univer- sity of Illinols) Urbana, I, Sept. 1 UM — The doginant feature of the eastern sky! during September evenings s a large dipper formed by seven bright stars. It is not usually called a dip- per, but it looks like one and is therefore easily located. Directly in the cast the great Square of Pegasus, tipped up en one corner, serves as the bowl of the dipper. The first three stars in the handle, together with the stars around it, form the . constellation Andromeda, the Chained Princems. The star at the end of the handle is the brightest one in Perseus. Perseus ia the arrow of stars in the northeast pointing upward ulong the Milky Way to Cassiopeia’s Chair. Its most famous star is Algol, tl Demon Star, so.called because every two and a half days its light is dimmed for a few hours to only one-third the usual brightness. This periodic winking is caused by a faint companion star which revolves around ‘Algol and partially eclipses it. Under the handle of this big dip- per in the east are two small tri- angles of stars. The upper one is named the Triangie; the lower one in Aries, the first constellation of the zodiac. Two thousand years ago spring began when the sun entered the constellation Aries. Now the vernal equinox, the location of the sun AINEE MCPHERSON HAS 10 CALL OFF VYA Noted Evangelist Accused of Fraud . when it crosses the equator, has shifted westward. The vernal equi- nox is not marked by a bright star; it may be located by following down the lower left side of the Square of Pegasus and one length beyond. The sun is here on March 21. It does not now enter the constellation Aries until late in April. Capella is the brilliant yellow star below the arrow of Perseus in the northeast, Its color is like that of the sun.

The charge was contained in a preliminary report of a grand jury investigating lawlessness.
