THE - EVENING Planes May Lift Scientists Above Fog for Eclipse By the Assoclated Press. SAN DIEGO, Calif., August 23.—, To prevent clouds or fog from in- terfering with observations of the sun's total eclipse- here on Sep- tember 10, the War and Navy De- partments have issued orders to Maj. Gen. Henry Arnold, com- manding Rockwell Field, and Capt. Thomas Marshall, command- ing the fleet air squadrons, to have airplanes and seaplanes in readiness for meteorological flights on the day of the eclipse. <If it becomes apparent that the sun will be obscured by clouds or fog the government aircraft will take the visiting astronomers and sclentists aloft to an altitude where the phenomenon can be viewed without interference, At e The Columbia Capital, 91 l F $250,600.00 ful we can be to YOU.

Juliet may doubt it all she pleases, but there is a good deal in a name. One that em- braces & felicitious combination .ot vowels and condonants, is terse and easy of pronunciation, is a commer- clal asset of .recognized value. ‘But, its musical or unmusical qualities aside, under the most favoring cir- cumstances it will take at least cal- culation some little time for the name of Emile Dewoitine to supplant that of Henry Ford as a household word and universal ideophone. The Frenchman does not aspire to be a manufacturer anyway; he says he i5 an {nvéntor pure and simple and his highest ambition 1s to produce an air fiivver which, selling at a low cost, will bring it within the reach of all and make flylng as common as motoring. The machine, which Georges Barbot has been demonstrating in the east, cost $16.000, but M. Dewolitine tells us if such planes were produced on a large scale they could be turned out as cheap as $1,000.
