Delegates here for the General Federation of Women's Clubs con vention agreed today that all those cartoons of a clubwoman ploughing furrow of tactlessness through her community make them see pink. Not red. They don't consider the lampooning important enough for that. "Let them laugh at us If they have fun laughing." said Mm. ('. M. Tow er, Denver, cheerfully. "We Just on with our work. Though 1 do think men's habit of making fun of wom en's clubs keeps some wives from going into It" "You do?" asked Mrs. Edwin 8. Smith, La Mesa, Calif. She looked surprised. "Oh. I don't think wives pay much attention any more to what their husbands say. They're emancipated." But a lot of the emancipated ladies had engineered the emanci pation. "It takes time and thought to keep club work from interfering with your home life." said Mrs. Thomas H. Richards. Chlco, Calif. "Now when I get home from this conven tion. I'll let my husband tell me all about what he's been doing first. It may be the next day bciore I get around to saying what I've done. "You have." she confided, "to let the man think he's kingpin." The women who've done some of the most important community work in the country agreed that a smart female can bake her cake and eat It at the club meeting, too. "I thuik men like women's clubs, really." said red-haired Mrs. Lee Coblentz. Payette, Idaho. "I asked my husband once, when I came home so tired I could hardly get the dinner on the table. "Don you wish I were a normal quiet wife that stuck to her house?" " 'No, frankly, I don't,' he said. "I'd a lot rather have you come home with somethiug more to talk about than how many cans of fruit f you canned and how many socks you darned'." Women's clubs important? "Why. look." said a group of dele gates waiting for Secretary of State Marshall to address the convention tonight. "The secretary of state hasn't ever flown across the conti nent to speak to cartoonists, has he?"

Here Are Answers T o Three Questions About The Skies By J. HUGH PRl'ETT Astronomer, Extension Division, Oregon Higher Education System 1. "Does modern science consider the moon has any appreciable in fluence on anything besides the tides?" (Mrs. V.L.I.) Romantic and aesthetic considera tions aside, the answer to this ls an almost unconditional "no." Despite the Idea among some persons that scientists believe crops and weather are affected by lunar phases or the so-called wet and dry mooas. this certainly is not an "article of faith" with those who carefully study the available data. If there are any moon effects, they are so masked by more powerful factors that they cannot be determined. It seems safe to assert that one would have to search a long time before if ever he could find a believer in the theory of moon-caused weather and crops among astronomers, college professors of agriculture and weath er bureau officials. The tides definitely are caused by the relative positions of the sun. moon and earth. The phase of the moon does give a clue to these posi tions, but It is not the light but the gravitational forces that produce the tidal effects. The highest tides dur ing a month occur at both new moon and full moon, when the lunar bril liance reaching us ls at opposite ex tremes. 2. "With, stars so thick in the sky, what keeps them from bumping Into each other?" (Robert H. 6th grade.) This ls a case of "things are not what they seem." The stars are huge suns at enormous distances from us and from each other. The nearest star to our star fthe sun) of which we know is 26 trillion miles away. Let us Illustrate relative distances. On a flat sheet of paper represent the sun by pencil point and the earth by a pin point an Inch away. The nearest star, Alpha Centaurl, ls 270,000 times farther away than the distance between sun and earth. On our diagram it would bo Indicated by another dot 4.3 miles distant. Now If our sun and Alpha Centaurl were represented by two tiny living In sects 4.3 miles apart, would it be stranger If they happened to "bumn Into each other" than If they did. even after millions of years of flying about? 3. "Why Is the moon sometimes out In the daytime?" (Alfred C, 6th grade.) The moon moves eastward around the sun. It comes to the highest point In the sky on an average of 51 minutes later each successive day. This means that it rises later each day. In the course of a month It rises during about every one of the 24 hours so cannot help being in the daytime sky a great deal of the time. There are times when it can not be found anywhere in the night sky. even should one search from dusk to dawn.
