GOLD STANDARD
WOULD GO FAR
REVIVE BUSINESS
SEATTLE, April 22— The adoption
of a gold standard by the European
j countries would go far to open the
i channels of trade between Europe and
the United States, and straighten the
industrial tangle in Europe, Senator
Tasker Oddie of Nevada declared in
a statement to the Federal Gold and
Silver Commission’s report, Series 9,
Volume 1, just printed. The report
embodies the latest data in economic
facts on gold and silver, from mining
to its use as a standard of trade and
! exchange. He said that work in min
! ing, investment in the industry, and
a return on the investment stopped
when Senator Smoot prevented a con
tinuation of the commission.
Senator Oddie heads the Senate
Gold and Silver Committee with Her
bert Hoover, and President Kelly of
the Anaconda Copper Company; J. E.
Spurr, editor of the Mining Journal;
and John V. M. Reynders, president
of the American Institute of Mining.

STAR GAZERS IN
MAY WILL FIND
MUCH INTREST
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23 —
Saturn with his three rings, brighter
than at any other time of the year,
will open the summer star gazing sea
son on May 2. Saturri will be found
in Virgo in the east between Virgo
and Libra. Saturn comes into oppo
sition with the sun on that date and
a bulletin from the American Nature
Association, does some things opposed
to what the earth does.
By opposition is meant that the
earth will be between the planet and
the sun. Saturn will be nearer than
any other time of the year on May 2.
The planet will rise at sunset, be on
the meridian due south at midnight,
and set at sunrise.
Although one of the more distant
planets, Saturn will be just a little
matter of 821,340,000 miles away on
May 2. Uranus and Neptune are still
more distant. Neptune is nearly 3
billion miles from the sun. Uranus
can be picked up as a faint sixth mag
nitude star if you know' just where
to look but you can never find Nep
tune w'ithout a telescope. The show’
Saturn puts on will continue in the
evening all summer. It does not take
a large telescope to see the rings. They
| will be inclined to the earth at a high
angle, so they can be seen to excel
lent advantage.
Other features on the May star gaz
ing program are the Big Dipper and
the huge w’ater snake, Hydra, that
fills most of the southern sky below
the celestial equator with his twro
riders, Corvus and Crater. Bootes and
Arcturus will be seen in the east, the
brilliant Vega in the northeast and
Capella in the northw’est.
In the western sky wrill be Leo w’hile
Denebola, which is in the tip of the
Lion’s Tail, will be almost exactly
due south. Regulus and The Sickle
in Leo will be to the southw’est of
the zenith. Virgo, another of the
spring groups, lies just to the east of
Leo.
An idea of space in the sky is given
by the distance Saturn is from the
earth. The size of some of the things
to be seen in the sky is almost beyond
human comprehension. New measure
ments of Mira have put her on the
front page. Astronomical calipers
have been taken to this star and it is
found to have a diameter of 250,000,
000 miles, outclassing the mighty Bet
elguese and standing second in girth
only to the giant Airfares, with its dia
meter of 400,000,000 miles. The earth
with its 8,000 miles diameter w^ould
rattle around inside of Mira like a pea
: in a cask.
Mira is estimated to be a distance
of 165 light years from the earth;
that is, the light of Mira taken 165
years to travel to the earth at‘the
rate at which it travels of 186,000
mileg in a second. We see Mira today
as it was 165 years ago when the light
wre now see left this star.

CHICAGO WORLD’S FAIR
BUILDING IS DESTROYED
CHICAGO, Apr. 23.—A spectacular
fire recently destroyed the old world’s
fair German building built in 1892 and
one of the few surviving from the ex
position. The building, which cost
$300,000 when constructed, embodies
three types of German architecture,
one side representing a typical Ger
man town hall, another a typical Ger
man residence, and a third being pat
terned after a German church.

STUDENTS ARE EXPELLED
IN BIBLE CONTROVERSY
STURGIS. S. D., April 23.—The
board of education of Faith, South
Dakota, has authority to expel high
school students who leave the school
while the Bible is being read, it was
ruled yesterday in the case of A.
Finger, versus the school board. The
court held that the school board had
authority over discipline methods in
the school and that it had power to
have read in the school any version
of the Bible that it saw fit.
Thirteen students had been expell
ed from the school because of the
Bible controversy.
