Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
A further study of our last con
stellation, Leo (the lion), reveals
some interesting things.
One night early in November
1833, people of the eastern states
looked at this constellation and
k thought that the heavens were
falling. All the stars seemed to be
leaving their places and shooting
off in every direction. Many peo
ple thought that the end of the
world had come. In some towns
fire bells were rung to wake peo
ple up so they could see what
was happening.
Of course, no real star moved
from its usual place. The people
were not astronomers so they
thought all the stars wfere leaving
the sky, perhaps never to return.
Without knowing it, these peo
ple were observing an unusual
shower of meteors or shooting
stars. In 1833 the radiant or ap
parent source o'f these meteors
was from the direction of the head j
of Leo, the lion.

Some women, who have blond eye
brows, have found that using a black
pencil is too heavy for their coloring,
and brown presents the problem of
being too reddish. The answer may be
in the new charcoal gray pencil, just
introduced. It goes on easily and the
clear sweep of the eyebrow adds to
feminine charm!

Last night I placed the world’s
newest electric shaver on the table
and exclaimed to all the family—
it’s mine! And I mean it! I'm tired
of comments made by certain
members of the family because I
find this an excellent way for good
leg grooming—no ugly nicks or
bother. Foolish of me to let them
see it because it’s the thinnest,
lightest and most powerful shaver
—the new Custom Schick—and,
of course, they each in turn had
to try it . . . what’s more they “en
thused” over the feather-touch
shave. It wouldn’t surprise me if it
became a “Father’s Day” gift in
stead of my very' own! Oh, well,
their enthusiasm has given me an
idea for graduation and birthdays!
Sometimes table
and chair legs get
badly scratched
and no end of
polishing will help.
There are little
tubes with built-in brush, now avail
able, containing maple, mahogany or
walnut-color “paint” which can be ap
plied to scratches. Let dry, then polish.

About this time of year we give
thought to mothproofing winter
suits, furs. etc. If you don’t want
to put your tin - Peter Pan mink
collar or small j~r piece in storage
just shake camphor crystals on
them ar.d wrap in aluminum foil.
You’ll really foil the moths. Ouch!
The average U.S. motorist in
1929 got about 12 miles to the
gallon of gasoline compared with
15V2 miles today.
