HUNDREDS OF METEORS WILL FLASH TONIGHT ‘Shooting Star’ Spectacle to Be Visible for City Residents. ft V Science Service Shooting stars will give Indianapolis residents an excuse to stay up late tonight. A hundred meteors or so each hour will flash in the northeastern sky tonight and during Friday morning's early hours, as the annual Perseid meteor shower takes place. The display will continue Friday night. Select a dark place away from city lights for this spectacle. "Shooting stars” are not really stars, but small fragments of matter that enter the earth’s atmosphere so speedily that the friction burns them with a brilliant light. These meteors stream around the sun in a wide orbit and each year at this time the earth cuts across the path of the meteors. The present display of meteors Is named after the constellation of Perseus, which is in the part of the sky from which the stars will seem to shoot. ■ Beacon Is Provided The star Capella, one of the brightest in the northeastern heavens, can be used as a guiding beacon to the part where the meteors can be seen. The Perseid group of stars is just above Capella. The Perseid meteors form a gigantic necklace around the sun, extending to three billion miles in one direction, farther than any planet except Pluto. On the other side of the sun they come within eighty million miles, closer than the earth. The meteoric necklace revolves once about every 108 years. Each August the earth plunges through it as it<. orbit cuts that of the Perseids. The little bits of matter which j are the meteors plunge into the | earth’s atmosphere with high veloc- 1 ities, and friction causes them to heat up and burn with a flash of | light that people below call a | “shooting star.’’ Seldom do the J meteors reach earth, but the larger ones sometime do fall as meteorites. I No Peril in Shower Occasionally the earth runs into a giant meteor, such as the one that made Meteor crater in Arizona. But the chances of getting killed that way are entirely negligible. The meteor that makes the biggest flash in the sky usually is about the size of a pea. The moon will interfere somewhat with observation about midnight and there will be more meteors in the early morning hours, because the earth at that time turns in such a way as to meet them headon. If you like observing shooting i stars, you will have an even better chance to see and study the Leonid shower in November. (All rights reserved by Science Service. Washington. D. C.)

2,200 JOIN IN FIGHT FOR CHURCH RADIO Englewood Christian Membership Petitions for Station’s License. Support of 2,200 members of the Englewood Christian church has been thrown behind efforts of the Thirty-First Street Baptist church to establish a radio station for broadcasting education and religious programs.

Acording to officials of the church, other petitions are being circulated and will be placed before the commission when it holds a hearing on the complaint in September.

An order to mandate the county council to appropriate an additional $4,750 to pay Alan W. Boyd and Walter Pritchard, county election commissioners, for services, was sought today in circut court. The commissioners filed suit Wednesday, asking $2,250 additional for the May primary and $2,500 additional for the coming fall election. The council appropriated $750 to pay them for work in the- primary, and intended to allow SSOO for the fall election. Councilmen slashed a request for $3,000 to $750. It had approval of county commissioners. "Scores of persons would be glad to perform the duties of election commissioners for $2 or $3 a day,” councilmen commented. Boyd told councilmen, at that time, that commissioners in previous elections have been paid $3,000 to $5,000 each. Boyd is Democratic commissioner and Pritchard the Republican member. Glenn Ralston, county clerk, is third member of the election board by virtue of his office. He serves without pay.

Sour Toots

Blank Cartridge Barraye Halts Notes, but Leads to Court.

By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Stephen Jensen, 17, sat in his window tooting anew cornet. Across the street sat Commodore Armon Von Borowsky of the touring Kayac boating club, entertaining 19-year-old Erika Kreuter who was suffering a headache. The commodore sounded the club’s fog horn, then rang a cowbell, as both the cornet’s practice notes and the girl’s headache grew worse. A few more sour notes, and the commodore mistook the music for the call to charge, got out a race starting pistol, and fired—not once, but six times—blank cartridges only. Stephen skipped a few notes, ducked, and remarked to his friend, Ralph Tutone, “I think it’s time to call a cop.” The commodore told Magistrate William C. Dodge, "it was an awful racket, and I was desperate.” “You've probably done someone a favor,” Dodge replied. “You had justifiable provocation. Discharged.” G. 0. P.

SPAIN QUICKLY ENDS REVOLT OF ROYALISTS Strength Demonstrated by Young Republic When Insurrection. Ends. BY JOHN DEGANDT United Pres Staff Correspondent MADRID, Aug. H.—The Spanish republic, little more than a year old, today had conclusively demonstrated its strength by stamping out a sudden dramatic monarchist revolutionary outbreak, launched by military leaders of the old royalist regime. The rebel movement was quelled in Madrid a few hours after it started, although it took nearly twenty-four hours for the government to regain control of Seville, where General Jose San Jurjo, one time member of the Primo Rivera dictatorship; made a desperate bid to establish anew dictatorship. With leaders of the revolt either arrested or in flight, a check of casualties showed nine men—seven rebels and two federal soldiers—were killed, about thirty wounded, and more than 100 were arrested. General San Jurjo disappeared from Seville, but later was captured in Huelva. Demonstrations against the revolution were nation-wide. Mobs Burn Building By United Press SEVILLE, Aug. 11.—Mobs surging through the streets in celebration of the Republican victory over the rebels got out of hand today, burned buildings and killed a civil guard. The plant of the newspaper was burned, as were three aristocratic clubs, the Circulo De Labradores, Mercantile Union and La Fiambrera. Nicanor Peurto, civilian Nationalist leader prominent under the De Rivera dictatorship, whom General Jose San Jurjo freed from prison Wednesday, committed suicide today. It was learned privately that San Jurjo had decided to commit sui-
