(Copyright, IMS. by Belenoe Service) Though only Mars and Saturn, the same two planets that have been

decorating the evening skies all winter, are now visible at a respect­able hour, a third planet which Is brighter than either comes up a little later in the night This is Jupiter, and about Feb. 1 It appears a little to the south of the east point around midnight it is in the con­stellation of Virgo, the virgin, and is close to Spies, brightest star in the figure. At the end of February it will arise about 10:00 p. m.

Mars and Saturn are close together In the constellation of Gemini, the twins, and with Castor and Pollux, the brightest stars, make It temporarily quadruplets. For recent months both of these planets have been moving in a "retrograde" or backward direction. That is, their path through the sky among the stars has been toward the west, because the earth has overtaken them, producing the same effect ob­served when an automobile overtakes a horse and carriage: to people in the auto, the other vehicle seems to be going in the opposite direc­tion. On Feb. 21, however, Mars is stationary in the sky, and after that it will move toward the east once more, on the 18th of March passing Saturn, which will itself stand still and start to mpve east­wards a day later.

The positions of the February evening stars and planets are shown on the accompanying maps, which are drawn for about 10:00 p. m., your local time, at the beginning of the month, and an hour earlier on the 15th. Most brilliant object shown is the star Slrius, in Cams Major, the great d o g This star is brighter even than Mars or Saturn. It is not quite as bright as Jupiter, though when that planet appears it will look fainter because it is so low in the sky and its brilliance is dimmed by the passage of its light through a great thickness of the earth's atmosphere.

SYMBOLS FOR STARS IN ORDER OF BRIGHTNESS Slrius is directly south, and above it are a number of other promi­

nent constellations. To the right is Orion, the warrior. Three stars in a row mark Orion's belt Above the belt Is fietelgeuse and below is RigeL Also above the belt, though not classed as first magnitude, is Bellatrix. a star which, like Betelgeuse, la supposed to be one of the giant*s shoulders. On the old star maps where these fanciful fig­ures were depicted around the stars, there was also an uplifted dub, to the right of Bellatrix, which Orion la using to protect himself from the charging bull, Taurus, the constellation next above and to the right

Aldebaran, red in color, forms the bull's-eye, and the V-shaped group of stars, of which It is part (called the Hyadea), his bead. The two stars above Orion, towards Auriga, the charioteer, are the tips of the horns. In Auriga itself, almost overhead, is first-magnitude Ca-pella. Gemini, the twins, are above and to the left of Orion, and this group can now easily be found because of the bright planets that it contains.

Below Gemini Is Canls Minor, the lesser dog, with the star Procyon. About as high as Canls Minor, toward the east, is Leo, the lion, con­taining another star of the first magnitude, called Regulua,

During the earlier part of February, the moon will pass through the part of the sky we have been describing. New on Feb. 1, it will appear a couple of days later in the west as a narrow crescent seen just after sunset On Feb. 8 it reaches first quarter and a few days later, during the night of Feb. 12, passes Mars and then Saturn. Feb. 15 brings full moon, and on the 20th, during daylight hours for the United States, it passes Jupiter. The other naked eye planets. Mer­cury and Venus, are not visible in February. In fact on Feb. 1, Venus is In line with the sun and beyond It, and on Feb. 10 Mercury is in a similar position.

will have to set up government plants."

New System. Bura said this new system of

supplying veterans with artificial aids will become effective im­mediately if the private manufac­turers cooperate. His plans, ap­proved by the committee, in­cluded these points:

1—Authority for veterans to choose any kind of appliance they want which the government will pay for, rather than one purchased by the government on a low-bidder basis and handed to the veteran regardless of whether it suits him.

8—Issuance of credit cards to all handicapped veterans who require prosthetics, good in virtually any "prosthetics applicance shop in the United States, for the repair of artificial aids. The bills would be sent to the Veterans' Administra­tion.

8—The hiring of handicapped persons in Veterans' Administra­tion offices to be In charge of as­sembling equipment for testing and developing aids, and to make re­ports on the quality of devices offered veterans.

4—Authority for the Veterans' Administration to purchase braille books, typewriters, radios and similar equipment for blinded veterans.

6—Preparation of a catalogue of information on all types of arti­ficial aids offered by private man­ufacturers and the government
