KANSAS CITY, October 21.—Con- centration is the most important ele- ment in taxation authority, E. B.

By the Associated Press. . NEW YORK, October 21.—American astronomers on Tin Can Island, in the South Pacific Ocean, expect for 93 sec- onds today to watch the “dance of the atoms,” which laymen call a total eclipse of the sun. The tctal eclipse begins at 3:51 p. “tern standard time, which is V‘OD m. tomorrow morning. October 22. on the tiny, three-mile-wide island that is one of the only two lend spots in the world where this spectacle will be visible. The other is another small, Icnely island of the Pacific, Nurakita, but no observations are expected there. In a literal sense, astronomers ob- serve the “dance of the atoms” during an eclipse. Their principal studies are made with telescopic phot hs taken through glass prisms, cal spectro- scopes, which break up light into its colors and record on the photographic plates shadowy lines, each of which represents a mass of a particular kind of atoms in the sun. Due to Snace Curvature. The “dance,” under one of the veri- fied predictions of Einstein's relativity theory, is grester in and about the sun than on earth. That is. in scientific terms, the atoms around the sun vibrate more or faster than do the same kind of atoms on earth. The reason for this, under the Einstein view, is the - peculiar “curvature of space” neighborhood ‘of the sun. This is the same “curvatu s0 sensationally demonstrated the Ein- stein theory when, . during an eclipse in 1919, astronomers observed for the first time that it caused bending of rays of light from distant stars, as Einstein had predicted. During a total eclipse astronomers get thelr best opportunity to study the substances of which the sun is made and the laws which govern matter there. ‘The sun is the only star which they study in any such detail, and so eclipses aid them in understanding what is going on in more distant parts of the heavens. This Is especmly true because the sun is “standard” star, being of about the same size and hot- ness as the average star. Search for New Elements. For years scientists have searched eclipses for evidences that there may exist in the sun elements unknown on earth. They found one—Helium, which later was discovered on earth. ‘The head of the scientific work of the American Naval Observatory expedition at Niuafou today, Dr. Staniey Mitchell, dim:};‘ o(' tlhnrge; xlcc«;rmlck Ob- servatory of the University.of Virginia, has identified iron vapor in other LUNCHEON 11:00 until 2:15 The season’s choicest deli- cacles deliciously prepared.
