club work, too."
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.
Irving Thomas' mother left here

months w,th her son and family.
