The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Sunday Morning, November 3, 1935 . i PAGE THREE Dr. Olivet Lee, Tells Star R esearch Ml 4- VaEey News Page of Work Flies West to Visit Mother Director of Observatory At Dearborn Tells Of Red Stars By.LILL.IE L. MADSEN -' I Staff Correspondent SILVERTON, Not. 2 Faint red stars that are from 200 to 1000 times fainter than stars vis ible to the naked eye are the ev eryday companions of Dr. Oliver Lee, who speaks of his class work as professor of astronomy at Northwestern university at Chica go as "vacational" and his re sesfcrch work at the Dearborn ob servatory at Evanston, IU.as the "real work." Dr. Lee is director of the observatory." Dr. Lee flew here to visit his mother Mrs. , Christina Lee, 73, who is confined to the Silverton hospital with a broken left' hip sustained in a fall at her home a short while ago. He will return by plane, leaving Portland Sunday noon. While here he is the' guest of his brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Lee. Dr. Lee and the group working under him are the only ones who are working in the red end of the spectrum. They are covering the entire northern , sky. So far sci entists have confined their re search efforts to the violet and other shorter wave lengths. Dr. Lee explains this by saying that light is made up of an infinite number of very small vibrations or -waves. These waves are of dif ferent lengths, the longest giving us the impression which we call red, the shortest the impression which we call violet. ' Ss Red By Camera In - order to come in "closer contacts with these red and or ange radiations. Dr. Lee designed a prismatic camera and through this, he says, they actually get the spectra of the stars. - And al though the camera records these as black and white on the plates, the actual colors are .definitely known. In response to a question. Dr. Lee said that in, the Dearborn survey, 50,000 shades of red can -actually be distinguished from each other. Color is indicative of wave lengths and temperature of the stars. "Red Hot" seemingly does not apply to stars. The red stars are the cooler stars, according to Dr. Lee. In the -Dearborn' survey. which will take many years to complete, only the "colder" st2rs are dealt with to any extent. Dr. Lee said that he had completed work on three publications which were sent to the publishers just before he left for the west. These were dealing with the faint red stars and Included fn them were 75 illustrations. Purpose of Survey When asked what the purpose of the survey is. Dr. Lee explain ed that the study of stars gives an insight into matter which can not be obtained any other way. "Each star," said the scientist. "is a laboratory in itself which furnisfies material for research which one cannot duplicate on the world. At present we are search ing out the different stars and cataloging them. We will study - the families and groups of stars. . We do this Just as someone inter ested in trees would do. Were he interested in those of a" certain section and decided to make a sci entific study of them, he would go out on a research tour to dis cover how many kinds of trees he could find, the relations of these trees to each other and to other, elements. We study the gasses, the complications and the formations of the stars in rela tion to matter.' The sun is yet too young to study, too hot. As it facows older it grows cooler." Dr. Lee indicated one need nt)t worry for sometime about aiy uncom fortable coolness of the sun. '-, High" Broadcast Dr. Lee was invited by N. B. C. to address the nation from an air plan flying 15,000 to 17.000 feet above Chicago on the spectacular To the Prospective CAR BUYER (I Lei us again remind you that we can fi ; nance the purchase of your automobile at very low cost . . our note is only 5 per cent discount. t CI We have a special department "devoted to this type of loans and you may be assured of prompt and courteous service.
