Map of Heavens * Nearly Finished Astronomers Work 36 Years on First Comprehensive _ Chart of Stars. By Associated Frees. Paris, Sept. 6.—What Is regarded here as one of the most Interesting and valuable results of modern studies in astronomy is nearing completion in the Paris observatory after 36 years of painstaking labor. It Is a new map of the heavens and catalogue of the stars. The compilation shows that there are approximately 300,000,000 heavenly bodies visible through the powerful telescopes. Photographing the heavens was a plan first developed by the Paris ob servatory, and Its then director, Ad miral Mouchez, was called here In 1887 to an international congress of astronomers which decided to map the heavens. There were 18 nations, including Mexico, Chile and the re publics of Argentine and Brazil, which igreed to contribute to this work. The heavens were subdivided, with 'our French observatories taking the central zones of the heavens. Ten thousand leaves lof the photo graphic map contain stars to the 14th magnitude, whereof there are above 10.000. 000. Stars to the sixth mngnl ude may be seen with the naked eve. and above that, telescopes and other \ids are needed. In reality, ft is explained, the num ' ber of stars appear to be infinite. As luge lenses are constructed, each in rease in the size of the lens reveals, i larger number of stars. A few years ago the number of itars was set at approximately 100. 100.000. Now that number has been rebled, and as the explorers of new worlds in the universe progress in ihelr studies, they find space filled -vlth stars, the light of which reaches he eye of the explorer after yejrs of travel, so distant are these bodies. Mapping the heavens was, a task not undertaken by astronomers pre vious to 1887, and before the work could be started, it was necessary to agree on plans concerning the size of the photographs and means of measurements. The majority of the astronomers of the world used their ingenuity and learning In the task. By means of this new map. fresh measurements of the location, size, md nature of the stars may be made jy astronomers, and philosophic spec ulation stimulated as to the In habi tants, If any, of the stars, and the ?eneral system and scheme of the universe.

PAC KARD It is certainly significant that more and more purchasers of the Single-Six have had previous experience with cars of lower price. There is only one interpretation of this fact. In vestigation and testimony of other owners have proved to these buyers that there is a greater economy in the Single-Six that makes it a sounder investment. Thus many people who have always aspired to Packard ownership have discovered that the grati- ' fication of this desire is not an indulgence, but rather, the exercise of good business judgment.

Britisher Pays $100,000 to Join “Sure Thing” Club Paris, Sort. 8.—William Warren, whom the French police allege is the world’s master confidence man. stands a fair chance of being freed from various charges brought against him by various people' who say they entrusted htuf with large sums which were not repaid. So far the police have not been able to fasten a .single definite crime against him, Tha most startling charge Is made by n Hull shipmaster, who told the examining magistrate that he met Warren at the races at Monte Carlo. “Warren was winning large sums through a bookmaker he Introduced me to who was supposed to be In the ’know’," said the shipmaster. “Every morning they would cable sums to London or Paris to be placed on horses running In the French andi British races. Invariably they won. "Finally one day they cleaned up $40,000 on a capital of $5,000, and I asked to be told the secret. "Warren agreed, but said I would have to become a member of the 'club.' The membership fee for this was $100,000. I paid them the $100, 000 and Warren assured me that within a week 1 would win $1,000, 000. "I am still waiting, for W'arren left the next day.” “Did Warren give you a formal stamped receipt?" asked the magis trate “Yes—here It is." "Then he did nothing contrary to French law’. You simply presented him with $100,000 dollars. And Warren, allegedly master con fldencr-tnan, smiles. Pocahontas Only Nickname of Indian Princess, Claim New York, Sept. 8.—What was the name of the Indian princess of early colonial days who saved Capt. John Smith from execution? ‘'Pocahontas.' would be the answer from almost any American school child versed In American history. And "wrong,” would be the retort of E. H. Leech of Greenwich, Conn., who has started a movement to have history textbooks altered In their stories of America's most famous na tive princess; There are no fewer thdn S3 separate and distinct nationalities who inhabit Roston-on-Don, in Russia. It*- this region, about the size of Illinois and Indiana, there are picturesque and primitive nomads, wild mountain tribes, ancient civilizations, traders and cattle raisers of the lowlands, and cosmopolitan adventurers of the world, making up a polyglot popula tion of nearly 6,000,000.

New Airplane Stabilizer Makes Flying ‘Foolproof London, Sept. 8.—After a life work of research and experiment, the ef forts of the famous Austrian savant. Prof. Ralmond Nlmfuhr, to achieve automatic stability in airplanes have' been crowned frith success. He has now perfected a secret mechanism which Is likened to the antennae of insects, and It now only requires certain slmpl.flcatlons in op eration to be brought Into everyday use. Already in its tests it has ex ceeded all expectations: It is described as a "sensory organ** and la shielded froip view in a smooth rounded metal chamber which project* on a hollow tube in front of the air craft when in flight. Uncanny is the only description on* can apply to the way in which thl* "brain" will correct an error of the pilot. Should he by any chance cause his craft to "stall," or come practical ly to a standstill In the air. with the peril of a plunge, the "brain" prompt ly assumes control, and, tilting the bow a little downward, senda the ma chine on a glide which immediately restores the lift of its wings. Any fluctuations in the air cur rents are Instantly detected by the new device, which automatically sta bilizes the controlling planes so that the machine remains in steady flight no matter what disturbances may be encountered. tilu, . ft DEVELOPED by nineteen years’ ex perience, the 1924 line of Reo high powered six-cylinder passenger cars more forcefully expresses the signifi cance of Reo as “The Gold Standard of Values.” The rugged, powerful chassis is hung lower to the road for easier riding, greater safety and improved appear ance. The double-frame mounting of power units, long a distinctive Reo feature,—is maintained. So is the sim ple dual foot control. Super strength marks the new rear axle, which combines the advantages of both the semi-floating and full floating types. i Greatly improved and oversized brakes with. 15-inch drums and 2^-inch faces provide positive control; a simple, sure and safe design of time-tried goodness is assurance of continued efficiency. Powered with the wonderful Reo 6-cyl inder engine; nothing experimental nor untried. With intake valves in head and exhaust valves at side, positive lubrication and cooling systems and unusual accessibility, it provides de pendable power tor every driving condition. Safety—reliability—comfort—economy —roadability—appearance,—on what ever factor motor car satisfaction is based, Reo dominates.
