BAKER (Professor Of Astronomy, Univer- sity Of Illinois) : (by Associated Press) URBANA, Ill.,'March 6.—The “man in the moon” watches us al- ways. Sometimes only one eye is visible, But his face is always to- ward the earth. No one has ever seen the back of his head. ° What is the “man in the moon”? What hides his face in varying de- grees during the month? The large dark spots which make the face of the “man in the moon” are the lunar seas. Long ago they were believed to be bodies of water and were given the fantastic watery names which we employ today. The man’s right eye is the Sea of Storms; his left eye is formed by the Sea of Ser- enity and the Sea of Tranquility, his mouth by the Sea of Clouds.* Today we know that there is no water at all on the moon.

Death came after 19 days of battle against a wound which was compli- cated by colitis, pneu- — gangrene in the lower lobe of a lung punctured by the bullet. Wm. R. Porter, president of the First National Bank, returned at noon today from Miami where he went Saturday for a confeence with Ed. Rompf, pesident of the First National in that city. Yesterday there was a confer- ence of officials of the banks of Miami, Coral Gables, Miami Beach, Homestead, Little River, and Hollywood at which it was de- ‘ as usual this morning. Mr. Porter phoned J. J. Trevor, vite presi- dent and the bank opened at 9 o’clock as usual, intending to do the regular business. On the-train Mr. Porter read the proclamation of President Roosevelt and immediately sent Mr. Trevor a wire saying to close the bank at once. Following the instructions con- tained in the telegram Mr. Trevor immediately closed the bank for the reason that the president’s proclamation is mandatory and re- fusal to obey can be punished with @ fine of $10,000. : in Key West and the ‘first Asked. relative to securing the!thing they did was to call the of- speeial permission required forifice of the sheriff.
