STRIKE IN SIGHT to Play Polo Peace Pact Will Open Way Four Men and Sixty Horses! NEW ARMY ON PARADE TODAY BEFORE F. 0. R Different Units Pass in Re- view from Those of 20 Years Agp WASHINGTON, April 6. — The .itwentieth anniversary of America's entrance into the World War found national leaders talking peace in official expressions of amity. International affairs, however, were understored by displays of military strength which many pre- paredness advocates claim as nec- essary to maintain peace. Here in Washington, President Roosevelt, who sought strong neu- trality legislation ' from this Con- gress, viewed an army parade on Constitution Avenue far different from the units that went to France in 1917, Moving before the eyes of the Ex- ecutive, our modern army typified a highly mechanized force, which depends for its effectiveness more on speed of movement than on man- power. his combination, substitutes will be available from among players in England—the influx of Indian vis- itors for the coronation automati- ically providing a reserve upon which he can draw.

Yet, scientists who last year scurried to points all the way from Greece to Japan to study a mere two and a half minute eclipse expect to pass this one up. The reason is that it will follow 2 nearly landless course through the South Pacific, missing islands as effectively as if guided by a master mariner The eclipse will start in the El- lice and Phoenix archipalagoes, near Samoa, where the sun will rise entirely obscured. A rare sight to the laymen, this ns little to the astronomer because he can’t ef- fectively photograph an eclipse close to the horizon. Mexico To See ‘Dent’ As the sun climbs into the sky, the path of totality will cross the South Seas until it reaches Peru. There, near Cuzco, the ancient Inca capital, there will be a totally eclip- sed sunset. Hawaii and Mexico will see a partial eclipse and a very slight dent in the sun's disc will be visible in the Southwestern United States. Enderbury Uninhabited From New Zealand to lonely little Canton Island will go one expedi- tion under C. B. Michie to await the eclipse in its 4-minute stage. Los Angeles’ Griffith observatory considered a trip to Christmas Is- land but doubt that the island ac- tually lies in the path of totality has about caused Director Dinsmore Alter to give up the idea. The isle most favorably located in the path of totality is Enderbury, 1 uninhabited atoll in the Phoenix up, but there is no anchorage and landing is dangerous. e Croons for Customers ROCKWOOD, Tenn.—Hugh Clark has installed a loudspeaker in his grocery store and when business is dull he croons popular songs to lure customers. - eee The 40-hour week for postal em- eds, are taking the courses as a Squirrel Sequichie and the other Britain as a “menance to the posi- ployes will cost Uncle Sam $35,- 000,000 a year.

Miriam Hopkins says: “My throat welcomes Luckies—my favorite cigarette for 5 years” pound. L4 “Luckies have been my favorite cigarette for about 5 years. They’re a light smoke that sensitive throats welcome. Of the many trends that sweep through Holly- wood, one of the longest lasting has been the preference for Luckies. I once asked a ‘property’ man—who supplies ciga- rettes to the actors—what the favorite is. He answered by opening up a box con- taining cigarettes. They were all Luckies. STAR OF THE RKO RADIO PICTURE “THE WOMAN I LOVE” 2 A.n independent survey was made recently among professional men and women —lawyers, doctors, lecturers, scientists, etc. Of those who said they smoke cigarettes, more than 87% stated they personally prefer a light smoke. Miss Hopkins verifies the wisdom of this pref- erence, and so do other leading artists of the radio, stage, screen and opera. Their voices are - their fortunes. That's why so many of them smoke Luckies. You, too, can have the throat pro- tection of Luckies—a light smoke, free of certain harsh irritants removed by the exclusive process “It’s Toasted”.
