One place we lived we had to give guests a floor plan at night or they got lost en route to breakfast next morning. Friends were stunned by our lofty estate, which filled us with understandable pride. But pride is poor reward for the effort I put into managing a mansion.

When we glance at the stars, they may all seem to have the same color, but if we look carefully we notice at least two colors, some being golden-yellow, others reddish-yellow. With the help of a good telescope you can see stars of several other colors, provided you look in the right places. Astronomers report the following colors among the stars: Yellow, yellow-white, red, orange, blue, green, greenish-white and blue-green.

It is likely that many stars have planets going around them, just as planets travel around our sun. Some of these planets may be the homes of people like ourselves. If people live on a planet going around the Eta pair of stars, think of the colors they must see! Tn blue star, or sun, may shine on the planet at one time, the red one at another time. Sometimes the two may shine together. A moon going around that planet might reflect red light at one and blue light at another Then the people should really see! what we sometimes hear about blue moon.

Our planet, the earth, goes: around only one sun, and that is-enough to take care of us. Our: sun is golden white, and we see; many colors at sunrise and So far as we are able to each star changes color as it grows older. Scientists tell us that star: of reddish color will pass into an-orange-colored stage. They will: become yellow. The fourth stage-will be white or blue-white, and! they will be in "the prime of From the white or blue-white-stage, it is believed that the stars: again pass through the same colors, going from yellow to orange to red.

In these later stages, they are much: smaller than during youth, and-also more nearly solid. UNCLE RAY. 5 Bridge uuuiwH-i nil 5 I CL ff I 1 wmmmMmml mAm mwmmw fXX 4 BY CHIC w-. -4 EsSaS sM'X" 5' Banish Finesse Worries BY WILLIAM E. McKEXNEY.
