Frank of this city, returned to Austin
yesterday after completing two years’
post-graduate work as interne in the
hospitals of New York and Philadel-
phia.
She expects to become affiliated at
once wih an established firm of doc-
tors in Austin and says she will con-
fine her practice to pediatrics.
It was stated by Dr.' Frank Gregg of
Scott & Gregg that Dr. Frank was to
bo affiliated with them and have of-
fices at Seventh and Brazos in the
Emergency Hospital building, special-
izing in children’s diseases.
Dr. Frank stated that she had noth-
ing to say except that she was very
happy to be back at home and to be
able to start on her professional career
among her own friends and home folks.

The Prince has been married before.
His first wife, from whom he was
divorced in 1922, was the Princes
Variatinsky, daughter of Czar Alex-
ander H of Russia, the king who lib-
erated the serfs. She met and was
captivated by the prince when she
nursed him back to health in a war
hospital in the Crimea. She obtained
a divorce on the plea of neglect. The
prince may have been neglectful
through necessity, for he worked on a
farm in England with other Russian
noblemen for a time.
The Prince and Princess Obolensky
are expected to figure quite promi-
nently in society as long as they stay

When Mars, earth and sun are in

pens, therefore, that Mars nay be as
much as 154,500,000 miles minus 91,-

On Friday, Aug. 22, at 11 o’clock in
the morning, Mars was in opposition
and distant 37,300,000 miles from the
earth, which is the cause of the e re-
marks.'
When the distance is email; that is,
near 35,000,000 miles, the opposition is
said to be “favorable," and for a month
before and after opposition, asrono-
mers busy themselves studying the
surface of Mars. It was at a "favor-
able. opporition" in 1877 that Professor
Asaph Hall, of the United States Naval
Observatory, discovered the two konwn
moons of Mare. Thepe moons are
small, not more than tventy miles n
diameter. One gees around Mars in
seven hours and thirty-nine minutes,
which, since the Martian day is twen-
ty-fovr hours $ind thirty-seven min-

Mars in thirty l ours and eighteen
minutes, ani, as a consequence, passes

it rises and the time it gets.

Accidents have played -prominent
parts in politics and in history. We
have had "political accidents” in all
the offices from constable to president.
Some of these have been happy and
some otherwise.
Accidents, on the other hand, have
saved the day or the fate of nations.
While Josephine waited for Bonaparte
to send a boat which would take her
across the Mediterranean to Egypt, a
dog running down the street' attracted
her and her friends to a balcony. The
balcony broke and precipitated Jose-

detained her. The boat returned
without her. The English navy cap-
tured the boat. What a hostage of
war the wife of Napoleon might have

August Mumme, of Bremerhavan, is
training canaries to sing the songs of
the nightingale. Science is putting
one over on nature. Mumme proceeds
on the theory that the /‘child” is de-
veloped by its surroundings. The low-
ly phonograph plays the nightingale’s
notes to the canary babies from the
time they are big enough to listen. As
they approach the singing age, they
are put with the real nightingales. The
young canaries never hear the notes of
their parents. And when they sing,
they, literally, sing like the nightin-
gale.
There is a lesson in the work of that
man Mumme which socioligists and
others learned in their own conceit in
the care and rearing of young Ameri-
cans and other breeds well might vote.
If a canary can be reared to love and
sing the notes of the nightingale what

Dr. H. Y. Benedict, dean cf the college
