Articles not meeting these specifi cations will be rejected. "A Unlit Year" To the Editor: What Is a light year average? Of late so many of my friends have gone astray on the subject. and sorely bruised their heads ag.itn.st the profound nnd knotty problem of the mathematical light year that I have In the generosity of my heart decided to come to their relief, with enlightment to tholr beclouded minds and comfort to their troubled souls. Only a year or two ago one of the most brilliant and progressive editors in thifl state gravely Inform his renders that "a light year la an Infinitely longer period of time than an ordinary calendar year." Such a statement shocks one's ethical sense. Again, only two months ago, one of the most Justly popular of American novelists stumbled even moro grevlously when. In a widely circulated maga zine article, he computed tho age of very remote stars by multiply' ing their light years by the num ber af seconds In a year and that product by 180,000 which la the distance In miles that light travels In one second, this last product being tho ago In years of those stars. It Is one of the paradoxes of science that a phenomenon like light, that le supposed to Illumine all other phenomena should be so profoundly obscure In lt own na ture. fllr IsaAC Newron that peerless natural philosopher whose mathc inatical genius was of the very Last Times TODAY Is Your Child Thin and Weak?

After Dr. Young had solved the problems of the nature and laws of light, Goethe another superman of science came along and attracted both Newton and Young In a manner to write him self down in the history of science aa a fundamentalist donkey. When such trunsccndental intellects full in the tussel with the problems of light Is it any wonder that humble folk should blunder in the mat ter? I once knew a uood indy who made a vory grieveous blunder about light. 1 didn't know her per sonally but my father did. When ho wns a young man, li. the early 40s of the last century he was on gaged In propagating the gospel In the hill sections of the Shenan doah valley, Va. At regular periods he was wont to go with a little band of ministers and retreat into tho upper regions' of the Blue mountains the closer to commune with tho oversoul. On one of these occasions a fellow brother whose permanent abode was in those up per regions invited them all to dine with him at the evening meal. They took his good wife complete ly by surprise and not In the best of humor. Her husband hasten ed to assure her that they would be content with "Just a little light supper." In just fifteen minutes a smiling face appeared at the din ing room door and announced: "All is now ready." When the brethren assembled around the table they looked down upon a spread of immaculate linen six plates arranged in perfect or der, and in the center of each plate a brightly burning candle. It was a prospect that would have blanch ed the cheek of Colonel Sellers, but not one of the party ever let on. That was a "light supper," but what Is a "light year." Let It be thoroughly understood onco for all that a light year Is no more a measure of time than is a yard stick or a rod pole. A light year Is simply the distance that light travels in one year of 305 days, traveling unlformely at the rate of 180,000 miles per second. According to this method of meas, urlng distance when we wish to say that the sun Is 93,000,000 mite from the earth we simply say that the sun Is 8 1-3 light minutes from tb earth. Astronomers long ago learned that steller distances are so great that In locating the heav enly bodies of the remote regions of space some very large unit of measurement muot be employed foi the sake of brevity. According ly some Ingenious mathematician suggested the "light year" as a munsure of distance and It has boon in universal vogue ever since. Sir William Horschel believed that the most distant stars visible only to the most powerful telescope were as much as four million light years removed from the earth.
