Many additional merit badge pamphlets have been added to the stock of the branch libraries In The Elmhurst and Melrose branches obtained nearly a complete set of additional pamphlets.

Other branches received pamphlets necessary to replace lost or wornout copies. All ot these pamphlets were checked by Scout headquarters as a guarantee that the requirements were up-to-date and accurate. The members of troop 96 en-Joyed a visit to the Melrose branch library during Better Book Week. They were Instructed In the use of the library and were entertained by lantern slides of wild flowers. Any troop which has not done so, will find It probitable to pay a visit as a group to their nearest branch library.

Obviously, arrangements should be made with the branch librarian if the evening is to be as profitable as possible. THESE LINES' listed By MARGARET C. WALKER-last week In this column we published a chart of this consel-lxtton and an article about the 'eliower of meteors which apparently radiate from a star-at the eastern end of the -constellation. Last week's chart also Indicated the location of the great naked eye nebula, a photograph of which Is reproduced. The Great Nebula in Andromeda may be faintly distinguished as a faint patch -of light northeast of the Great Square' of Pegasus.

'It is said that' this object was reeog- hised as early as 905 A. which meant very close inspection of the sky since it is seen, with difficulty except under the very best atmospheric' conditions. Today one, must be away from the' city lights to see it without instru mental help. In. fact.

It is not wen to ad vantage with ar powerful telescope as only a photo-jrrnh will show the great detail of its structure and Its wondrous beauty. i This 'nebuL. as seen by us appears" as the largest of all spiral apparently about four times as large as the moon. However. It is one of the nearest.

so that others probably exceed it In actual size. Through the 20-Inch telescope at the Chabot Observatory it appears as a great mass of faintly illuminated whirling gas with a dense nucleus. A photograph with the largest telescope In the world, the 180-inch "telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory In, Pasadena, and exposed two hours resolves portions of It Into stars. Many Ce-pheld Variable were discovered with Its confines by Major K. H.

Hubble, and It was from a study of these variable stars that he was enabled to compute the distance of this wonderful object slightly less than one million light years. In miles approximately 4,1500,000, 000. 000, 000,000 In other words, this object Is si far away that an object flying at the rate of 200 miles per hour would take' 18.001.000,000 year ti Its destination, and another 170,000,000 years to fly lis diameter. T)r, H. N.

Russell of Princeton eoneiders this object, so faint to both the naked eye and telescope, to be the brightest object 'that has yet been studied: that Ms total was mint bt millions of 'times renter' thanf n'T sun. Tt hag also pen estimated that ajl the stars visible to the naked eve would not equal the Great Nebula in Andromeda in hrlghtneis. NEW STARS. This nebula Is also remarkable for the number of new stars found The Commission on Ttaes Rata tfnns, through, tha committee on "onomlo life of the Federal Council of Churches has offered its toyPresldent Hoover's national contmlttse on unemployment. "While wo reeognlre that the tvhole country Is suffering from unemployment evidence coming from many places north and south to our office shows," an nounces Dr.

George E. Haynef, aeo-retary of the Commission on Race lielntions, "that Nsgroes are furnishing a larger proportion 'than others In the army of the unemployed." The Commission on Race Relations has a committee on economic lire which has been organised to stimulate the Interest of the churches In justice In economic life as It affects the Negro. At the meeting of this committee last week It was voted to ssnda letter to Colonel Woods offering any assistance It can render to the President's National Committee on employment. The letter, signed by Dr. Edward T.

Devine, chairman of the committee of direction of the Commission on Race Relations read as follows: "As you know, the FedeVal Coun. ell of Churches of Christ In America represents the Protestant churches of the country. Tha council Its constituent bodies, has access to all communities in the United States, It has a Commission on Race Relations which lias been working for some time on Justice In economlo life through the standing committee. At the last meeting of the commission's national committee en economlo life It voted to offer auch assistance as It can render to the President's National Committee on Employment during the duration of the Unemployment crisis. "The Commission on Race Relations la In touch with about fifty communities in different sections of the country.

While these committees are autonomous both In their programs and organizations they look to their commission for suggestions and guidance. We shall appreciate your letting us know as soon as possible the plans of the president's committee and suggestions you have to make regarding any service we can render." The Federal Council of Churches through the Social Service Commission with which the committee on economlo life is working cooperatively, has issued a set of recommendations to churches throughout the country on the un-' employment situation and has especially drawn attention to the Negro as follows: i-1. Negroes and other racial groups should be accorded eqult-. able treatment In the distribution of work and relief. 2.

Any payment of lower wages or maintenance of longer working hours which would tend to break down present labor standards should be discouraged. Tha government and leading business men have gone on record In favor of maintenance of present wage rates during the depression period. In the case of emergency jobs created for purpose of relief, when only a given amount of money is available. It Is better to employ men and women for part time than to mploy them full time at reduced wage rate. One of the worst pos- elble results of the unemployment period would be a permanent Impairment of present standard of wages and hours.

CRBAST LEAGUE SURVEY A report of the survey made on unemployment among Negroes by the National Urban league through T. Arnold Hill, director of department of Industrial relations, and Jra, D.

PIEDMONT BOY PIONEERS The Pioneer show. "Kingbad thj Sailor" was a success in that the first night had the largest crowd ever present here on a first night In the nine years of the existence of the Pioneer plays, according to those who have seen them for years. All seats and standing room were taken up and boys were crowded clear up to the stage in. front of the seats. This was duplicated the second night and the Players were elated over, the way the audience accepted their efforts.

The piny was colorful, the musia good, the dancers well trained. The twelve choruses went off very well and the boys hnd no trouble with their lines. In fact they made very good actors showing small self-consciousness. The play will be presented at the Arroyo sanltorlum at Llvermore, on December 6. The Pioneer companies are holding splendid meetings eac" week.

As the inter-company contest draws to a close more activities are being reported and dinners and other outside meetings are being; planned for December. ir Valleio Legion Post Holds Rehearsal VALLEJO. Nov. 29. Twenty-eight members of the American Le.

to be seen so -well at that great distance. It soon became ployment bureaus in urban centers throughout the country warranted the statement that the present unemployment is 'the severest tent of the urban and Industrial adjustment of the Negro worker since the This statement ts followed by figures collected from the larger cities and Industrial centers to prove the statement. statement from Brooklyn reads: "Heads ot families out of work are receiving pay for emergency employment from' the city fund provided tor this purpose. A committee of ministers appointed at a meeting called by the Brooklyn Urban League Is seeking the cooperation of the Brooklyn Federation of Churches In an effort to stem the tide against the employment of Negroes." Continuing the report says: "The charge of "under selling" white labor usually laid at the door of Negro labor may not bo preferred against white men and women, particularly the latter, who are frequently replacing Negroes at a lower wage, a situation by no means basically a racial one. "Our Information leads ua to believe that the problem of unemployment among Negroes Is serious enough to demand special attention.

To offset the inequalities usually found In work relationships involving Negroes and certain to appear during a crisis such as this, special attention will have to be given thla group through official agencies functioning in the emergency. What the league forces are doing locally Is not sufficient. Normally one out of every eight wage earners is a Negro and as auch this race should receive, both for Its own welfare and for the restoration of business, its normal share of employment. "In almost every city Negroes constitute a larger part of the beneficiaries of charitable agencies than they do of the population. This Is because they are receiving a smaller share of the work.

Their purchasing power Is being lowered and communities dependent upon Negro trade felt the loss et their patronage. Thua new causes for racial irritation are coming to the front to disturb relations that are already too unsettled. Nothing Is more evident than that the color line must be taken out of industry. Since the Inception ot the National Urban league this has beerut Its Industrial objective. We see it today as a more- Important need than ever before.

Violent competition between white and black workers comes to the front In times like these to prove the weakness ot an industrial system that purshes one group forward at the expense of another. The removal of this artificial barrier Is the challenge to American Industry." LOCAL NOTES The recent quarterly luncheon held by the Oakland Council ot Church Women last Frlduy In the First Methodist church dining room with the president, Mrs. Orace Spencer, presiding, was the largest and most interesting meeting ot the entire year. All the different racial groups affiliated with the council of churches furnished speakers Especially Interesting was an account of the work being done among the Chinese, Armenians Portuguese and Negroes. 'An address by Rev.

Henry J. McCall, who spent many years in Brazil, and is now working among the Portuguese in San Leandro, was intensely interesting. The Negro group was represented by Father David H. Wallace, of Saint Augustine Episcopal church, who spoke of the effect of unemployment among his members, asking for Jobs for them. Delilah L.

Beasley also spoke asking the women of the churches to attend the Harmon art exhibit of Negro artists, and reminding them that the Linden Branch Y. W. C. A. maintained a free employment agency and would gladly furnish rellaUte from its members.
