S. Weather Bureau. The summer solstice falls 2t 10:40 o'cleck Juneau time tonight At that time the sun will be 23 degrees and 27 minutes north, the nost distant point from the celes- tial equator. Sun rose here today y'clock and will set at 9:10 tonight. Tomorrow the time of sunrise and unset will be the same, but there- ! ifter the sun will start back to- ward its winter habitat, shortening: he days as it goes. Change Slowly For several days there will be ap- oarently a slight pause before the sun returns on its southward jour- ney. During this period, the times »f sunrise and sunset will change | slightly, but beginning with the end of June and continuing until 9:06 a.m., December 22, 1939, the amount of daylight decreases as the sun creeps along its orbit from the northern point in the celestial | sphere. At Fairbanks the time of sun-| rise today was 12:56 a.m. and the suuset will be at 10:50 p.m., giv- ing a total possible amount of sun- shine for the day of 21 hours and 5¢ minutes.

HIGHWAY USE BY MOTORISTS ANALYZED NOW WASHINGTON, June 21.—A black rubber tube laid across the highway | and connected at either end with a simple instrument staked at the side of the road forms the basis for | analysis of how the motor public behaves in its use of the highways. This special study is being made by the Federal Bureau of Public Roads. The tube is inconspicuous and| looks much like an expansion jolnti | —one of its good features. Most mo- | torists will not see the tube and will | not be aware of making a record. Other devices, such as checking by | observers, - or by motion-picture records, are less useful because they are likely to make drivers self-con- scious and cause them to slow down | for fear of a speed trap. A record of natural driving on a representa- | tive stretch of road is what is, wanted. | The tubes are placed at 50-foot intervals on the stretch of road un- | der study—a half mile, perhaps.' ‘When an automobile crosses a tube, a wave or puff of air is forced into | the roadside instrument and movesl a diaphragm which causes an elec- trical contact. The tubes are dis- connected at the middle of the road | 50 that a vehicle passing on one side of the road does not register uni | | | | the instrument on the other side. Wires run to a recording appar- atus in which a strip of paper un- rolls under a set of pens. Each pass- | ing car leaves a pair of pen strokes ~for front and rear wheels. Know- ing the spacing of the tubes and the | speed of the moving paper it is easy | to calculate the speed of any car. | The device is particularly useful in studying the passing of slow ve- hicles by faster ones. On a two-lane highway the pen-marked strip re- veals the faster car overtaking the slower; then swinging across thé 4 Film Newlyweds the Rats Wreck PhoneLine 5MilesLong o BAKER, Ore., June 21.—The con- 74§ |stant interference un the telephone § land teletype circuits between the | ' Australia pians to cpen 200,000 airport and the city limits was get- | S4uare miles of grazing land to ting ‘the engineers of the Pacific | Settiement. | Telephone and Telegraph Company | ‘down‘ they’ll put in a wire that no rat will care to chew.
