i EM Lp October 6, 1923 WINNETKA TALK 19 TO TALK ABOUT STARS "Heavens and Earth" to Be Subject of Contemporary Thought Lecture "The Heavens and Earth" will be the subject of the lecture Joel Steb- bins, director of the Ashburn observ- atory and professor of astronomy at the University of Wisconsin, will make before the contemporary thought class at Northwestern next Wednes- day. Prof. Stebbins will speak in the afternoon at 2 in the Commerce school on the Evanston campus and at 7 on McKinlock campus. The evening lec- ture is to be broadcast over WIRO. "The present conception of the cosmos is that the spiral nebulae are island universes each containing mil- lions of stars like the sun," states Prof. Stebbins. "Our own galaxy or milky way is only one of many such systems and has intermingled among its billion of stars many diffuse nebu- lae, both bright and dark, also groups and clusters of stars. "Despite their point-like appearance the stars are known to be spheres of gas, many of them less dense than the earth's atmosphere. By studying them as a population it is possible to select objects which probably rep- resent past and future stages of the sun's condition, and we thus obtain a clue as to the evolution of a star. "For a dark and planetary body like the earth it is not so easy thus to read its history, but the earth, moon and planets must have come from the material of our central sun. Finally the geological record supplements the evidence from the sky and fixes the probable age of the earth as well as the sequence of changes which have produced the conditions favorable for life on this planet." Prof. Stebbins will develop these ideas in his lecture. All children smile for Bernie Three 7x11 Buff Etchings Regular Price $10 Better Pictures-- Better Values BERNIE Studio 1623 Sherman Ave. Tel.
