—Dietz on Sc.ence— CLASSIC LEGEND IS FOUNDED ON STAR OF VEGA Romance of Orpheus and Bride Centers on Sky Body. BY DAVID DIETZ Srrlnn-Hnw ard Sri.nr* Editor Most brilliant of all thp stars in thr- nrrht skio.s of May is the bpautiful blue-white Vega. The ancients chosp this star and the constellation of which it is a part to celebrate the divine powers of music in the sc hemp of the universe. Around it, they wove some of their most enchanting legends, including the story of Orpheus, the musician, who braved the dangers of Hades in a vain attempt to re-de-m hi, beloved. Orpheus was the skilled musician, who accompanied Jason in the search for the golden fleece. He was a musician of wondrous ability. T—s of all ages have written of him. Orpheus won the heart of Eurydice But at the marriage feast, the torches smoked and brought tears to the eyes of the guests, and the sages predicted that the omens were unfavorable. Shortly after the marriage, a shephcrd saw Eurydice crossing a field, and struck by her beauty, pursued hrr She fled, and in her haste stepped on a snake which bit her in the foot. The snake was poisonous. and Eurydice died. Descends to Underworld Her tragic death made Orpheus disconsolate, and finally he determined to make the perilous descent into Hades itself in the hopes that his music might please dread Pluto, king of the underworld. and induce that monarch to give him back his beautiful Eurydice. So, Orpheus descended to the terrifying depths of the underworld. Orpheus made his way through 1 h-> melancholy twilight of Hades tin and he found himself at the loot of the throne of Pluto. There he sang his petition,® accompanying himself upon his lyre. His skill did not, forsake him in this supreme test, and even Pluto was enchanted with the music, Pluto agreed lo release Eurydice, but only upon one condition: Orpheus must lead the way back to earth and he must not turn back to see if she is following him. Fails to Keep Vow Orpheus agreed and started back. But when he reached the gates of Hades and was about to step into the world of life once more, he could no longer restrain himself. He turned around to see if the beautiful Eurydice had followed. And even as he gazed at her, she began to fade from his view, Orpheus remained disconsolate for the rest of his life. Always he was fai'hful to the memory of Eurydice, although many beautiful girls, charmed by his music, hoped that hr would fall in love with them. Finally, at the height of one of the festivals in honor of Bacchus, the god of wine, a jealous maiden cried, "See yonder qur despiser,” and hurled a javelin at him. But when the weapon came within the sound of his lyre, it fell harmless at his feet. Other women began to hurl stones at him, but these also fell harmless at his feet. Then the women screamed with 1 rage and their screaming drowned ' out his music. When this happened. the stones began to strike him and soon they killed him. The Infuriated women tore his body to prirrs and threw it into the River H^bi’S. But the Muses rescued the body and buried it. And the nightingale, it was said, sang more sweetly over the grave of Orpheus than anywhere else in all Greece.

LINK STATE TO SEAWAY PLAN Illinois, Indiana to Join in Formation of Port Authority. Illinois will co-operate with Indiana in formation of an interstate port authority and waterway development in the Chicago area, under terms of a resolution adopted Tuesday by the legislature at Springfield. Governor Paul V. McNutt previously discussed the proposal with Governor Henry Horner of Illinois. The Indiana general assembly adopted a resolution for the port authority plan at the 1933 session and appropriated $50,000 for the project. This was done upon recommendation of a survey commission created at the 1931 session. The report was submitted in book form to both McNutt and the legislators. The plan is to foster deep harbor development along the Illinois-In-diana shore line of Lake Michigan. The St. Lawrence and lakes to gulf waterway developments are expected to open the great lakes to vast sea-going traffic. The Illinois resolution puts complete power to co-operate with Indiana into the hands of Governor Horner.

New Liquor Regulations Fail to Cut Bootleg Price

Illicit Wet Goods Here Are Staple in Cost Despite Earlier Prescriptions. While bootleg prices in some states went tobogganing with the ! advent of the new federal regulations permitting physicians to issu? large supplies to patients, prices of illicit wet goods here remained practically stable. Prohibition director Basil Minnick explained that while his men are no longer allowed to “make buys,” more rumors of quoted prices of $5 a gallon for "good corn whiskey” and the same price or a little less for "alky” still prevail. Corn liquor is retailing at 25 cents a shot in most speakeasies. One downtown resort, however, recently has put on a bargain price of three drinks for 50 cents. Prescription liquor is expected to drop to lower prices soon, but to date, there has been no sharp decline. The Claypool pharmacy quoted prices of from $2 to $3.75 a pint for bonded bourbon or rye. Scotch whisky was quoted higher at S7O a case of twenty-four pint bottles. Hook's stores are selling bourbon and rye for $2 to $3.25 a pint. Other pharmacies strike about the same average. Drug firms, taking advantage of the new regulations extending the prescriptions of doctors to wines and cordials, announced they will stock up this week on vinous beverages of comparatively ancient vintage. Agents of wine distributing concerns in Indianapolis declared they expected champagne to be a good ! seller among a number of wealthy I clients who already have begun to i put in orders.

WAR OPENS ON CITY’S CHARITY ‘RACKETEERS’ Citizens Committee. Better Business Bureau Back of Campaign. BY LOWELL NUSSBAUM Times Staff Writer Campaign to reduce the flow of money into hands of promoters working under the guise of charitable purposes is to be conducted by a committee to co-operate with the Better Business Bureau, it was announced today by T. M. Overlay, bureau manager. "It has been estimated that $250.000 a year is contributed by busines men and others in the city through money raising schemes which purportedly are for charity, but in which the promoter obtains most of the money,” Overley said. He explained that the committee's purpose will be to check worthiness of all enterprises where money is sought from the public or charitable purposes. This information will be compiled and the facts on each organization made available to the public, on request, although the committee will ! not indorse or approve any project.

Many Charity Rackets Among the "charity rackets” which the committee seeks to discourage are “missions" and "armies.” conducted by private individuals for themselves; ticket sales for entertainments, dances, musicals and other special events where only a small proportion of the money goes to charity; street beggars disguised in uniforms to appear as though they represent organized institutions; advertising schemes, and many other forms. Objections to these activities, Overley said, are that they are mis leading to the giver, who thinks all his contribution will go to charity, and that it takes away from those who really need charity. Information to Be Gathered The committee merely will determine whether operations of such an organization or group come within the restrictions generally recognized as legitimate and fair for that particular type of solicitation. Information to be gathered by the Rheumatic Happy; Conquers Torture German Specialist's Prescription Stops Pain at Once So many thousands have found quick relief from the torturing pain of neuralgia, 'neuritis, sciatica, lumbago and rheumatism through Nurito that it is now eagerly sought by sufferers everywhere.
