Scientifically speaking, the moon will enter the earth's penumbra. But the man on the strect will sec ft as a shadow that will flit lightly xeross the mountainous face of the man in the moon and then disappear. It will be almost but not quite an eclipse. The umbra is the carth’s trug shadow and around this shadow, separating it from the full light, is a zone of partial shadow, the penum- bra. The appulse will come when the penumbra darkens the moon as the planet swings close to the umbra. The moon enters the numbra about 11 p. m. eastern standard time and there will be a general shadow- ing until about 1:20 #. m., when its accustomed face of chaste, cold white will be edged by a darkish hue shading to ruddy brown, Shortly after 3:30 the appulse will pass into history.

The hearing is regarded by agents for North Dakota shippers, whole- salers and distributors to be one of prime importance since rate adjust- ments asked by them would permit North Dakota business'men to com- pete on more even terms with com- itors in other states.

YBAR’S FAIR TRIAL OF DRY LAW IS URGED Federal Prohibition Adminis- trator Would Then Have : a Referendum New York, Dec. 8—(P)--A_ year's fair trial of prohibition to be fol- lowed by a national referendum is advocated by Chester P. Mills, fed- eral prohibition administrator for the New York district. “The plan may seem idealistic,” he said, “but I think it is the only so- lution of the problem. He first suggested the plun to a committee of New York state resi- dents who said they expected to raise a $100,000 fund for prohibition en- forcement and asked him how the money might best be spent. He told them, he said, that the greatest good could be accamplished in creation of public sentiment favorable to law en- forcement. Not Enforced Now “There is no use saying that the prohibition law is being enforced now,” said Mr. Mills. “The prohibi- tion department cannot enforce the law without assistance from the com- munity, and violation of this law is leading to disregard of other laws. “Why wouldn't this be a ution of the problem?

T. Lembke, presiding. Intimation that a plea of self-de- fense would n tand, if the facts showed that Korsvick and not Pahain- inen was the agg: jor when the fatal shot was fired, made by Judge Lembke in his instruction. “If a man believes his life to be in danger and there are asonablo grounds for such belief there is merit to the self-defense theory but if the danger has actually ceased and the defendant again places himself in a dangerous position, he must be con- sidered the aggressor,” the judge etated. The jury was told that it could bring in four verdicts: murder in the second degree, manslaughter in the first or second degrees, or not guilty. Swearing in of the jury was comptet- | ed at 9:45 and it retired for deliber- ation at 9:47.
