Rainier Measures
Two Feel Higher
Sacramento. Calif. (U.R)
The U. S. Geological Service an
nounced Saturday new measure
ments have established the
height of Mt. Rainer at 14,410
feet, two feet higher than prev
iously had been believed.
The gain of only two feet in
the official elevation of Mt.
Rainier ended hopes of certain
groups that the new measure
ment might result in Rainier's
moving up from its spot as fifth
highest peak In the U.S. The
tallest mountain, Mt. Whitney,
is 14,495 feet.
. "The mountain measurement
division of the Geological Ser
vice said there are a total of
67 peaks in the U.S. ranging
between 14.000 feet and Whit
ney's 14,495. Ten of them are
in California.

Northern Cross Sky Figure
Is Part of Constellation
By FAY VAN SCHOIACK
A high, wind-swept desert hill
far from the lights of any city,
together with a clear, moonless
night, spell Utopia, in any man's
language, for persons interested
in the starry heavens. Under
such conditions the grandeur of
the night sky is truly awe-inspiring
(as this writer can testify)
and star gazers can understand
why the Psalmist of old was
moved to write, "The heavens
declare the glory of God . . ."
Looking up from this vantage
point it seemed altogether fitting
that overhead, very nearly in
the center of this celestial beau
ty, should gleam the stars of the
Northern Cross.
In common with the Big Dip
per, the Northern Cross is not a
constellation, but a sky figure. It
is the most conspicuous part of
the constellation, Cygnus, the
Swan.
Brighttit Stars
The five brightest stars of this
group form a perfect cross, hence
the name, Northern Cross, to
distinguish it from the less per
fect, but more famous Southern
Cross. ....
Explorers and adventurers
coming to the New World during
the late Middle Ages called the
attention of the modern world to
the Southern Cross, which is
truly a beautiful constellation.
Residents of southern Florida
and some parts of Texas are able
to view the Southern Cross low
on the horizon, but only to resi
dents of the southern hemisphere
is its true loveliness revealed.
Visible in North
Astronomers tell us that 6,000
years ago the Southern Cross
could be seen as far north as the
boundary line between what is
now the United States and Can
ada, and that this constellation
will be visible as far north as
Quebec,' Canada, 12,000 years

A new report of the Twentieth
Century Fund finds that 56 per
cent of the retired persons sur
veyed in connection with the
study said the employer's policy
on age compelled them to retire.
Twenty-six per cent were retired
or retired voluntarily because of
poor health or disabling accident.
Americans spend almost S100
million per year for dentifrices.
from now when Vega becomes
the North Star.
The Southern Cross holds the
same position with the people of
South America and Australia as
the Big Dipper holds with the
residents of the northern half of
the korld.
In mythology, Cygnus the
Swan, became famous on the
day that Phaeton tried to drive
the chariot of the sun across the
sky. His father. Apollo, the sun
god explained to the headstrong
boy the dangers of his undertak
ing. "The horses are apt to become
unmanageable and damage the
heavens or the earth," the sun
god warned.
Became Unmanageable
But Phaeton, filled with self
confidence, drove the fiery
steeds through the gates of dawn.
At first, the way was not so
difficult, but soon the horses re
alized that a strange hand held
the reins and became uncontrol
lable. They ran wild, going so
high they endangered the heav
ens, then plunging so close to
the earth they set great fires
which formed immense deserts.
Jupiter, realizing that the
world might be destroyed, hurled
a thunderbolt which struck Phae
thon and caused him to fall into
the river, Eridanus.
Cygnus, a- playmate of Phae
thon, was heart-broken. Diving
into the river he swam back and
forth, and to and fro, both above
and beneath the surface of the
water in a fruitless effort to lo
cate the body of his friend.
Finally the gods took pity on
him and turned him into a swan
and later transported him to the
heavens where we find him in
the constellation, Cygnus, the
Swan.
The easiest way to find Cyg
nus, the Svai is to locate the
five bright stars that form the
Northern- Cross. They can- be
seen about 9 p.m. so high in the
east that they are almost over-i
head. Both the Northern and
Southern Crosses are in the
Milky Way.
Alpha Star
Deneb. the Alpha star (bright
est) of the constellation forms
the head of the Cross which
points to the north. Three bright
stars form the cross-piece and an
other star forms the foot of the.
Cross.
The foot of the Cross repre
sents the head of the Swan
which is flying in a southerly di
rection. A faint star on either
side of the cross-piece and slight
ly to the north or left of these
stars completes the wings, while
the first magnitude star, Deneb,
forms the tail. ,
About 10 p.m. on Chirstmas
Eve the Northern Cross stands
upright in the northwestern sky.
To the early Christians, suffering
persecution, this was ari omen of
great significance.'
