Astrenomy has been William’s hobby since he was 11 And he is so far advanced in this great scientific field that he has been given honorary membership in the Societe Astronomique de France and the Association Francaise des Observations d’Etoiles Variables of Lyons Young Abbott is descended from an Englishman who Swent to the Near East as a Crusader, centuries ago, and Settled in Greece. - Abbott made his discovery, about the star th his naked eye. Then, he says: “I went to the telescope to compare Beta with the star Aldebaran, which is taken as a unit, and found that Beta had increased in brilliance more than three magnitudes I determined the star’s position on a chart and telephoned o the Athens observatory, where it was said that nothing had beer observed.

Margaret Maguire, Philadelphia educator, originator of Sschools for backward pupils, tells about a boy who came Punder her observation. He seemed to be the champion “dumb-bell,” half asleep and disinterested in the subjects ‘that the teachers brought to his attention. “Then,” says Miss Maguire, “some one happened to ‘mention radio.

Husband's “Butterfly” Age ‘Quite a nice little racket is on among the psycho- lysts, due to developments in the Dorothy King mur- mystery. “What is the dangerous age for husbands? ‘Mrs. Helen P.

The other evening, crowds in several Atlantic coast ities were enjoying a New York concert when they got calls for help from a vessel on fire in mid-ocean and the plies from vessels hurrying to the rescue.
