ARMY PLANES GET SOME 00D VIE:. Prof, Todd Del‘.ghted With Re sults of Elort§ [E— Mitchell Field, Jan. 24.—The first of the thirty-five army airplanes from which observations of the eclipse will be made left Mitchel Ield,-at 7:46 o'clock this morning and the other planes folloyed in juiek succession. Conditions for observation from the air were almost perfect, the only clouds in the sky being a high bank off the southern tip of Long Island The first plane to leave the fleld plloted by Lieutenant George W Goddard and with Lieutenant George McDonald as observer, headed for Newburgh, N. Y., where the eclipse will be photographed from a height of about 16,000 feet. The other planes went to other designated areas to circle in the skies and take close observations from the beginning to the end of the eclipse. Al were\equipped with cvameras and scientific instruments to aid in the collection of data on phenomena accompanying the cclipse. The big, speclally-constructed camera on which the government had mainly relied for photographs of the eclipse was hastily trans. ferred from the plane on which it had been fixed when it was found that the engine of the plane was frozen. A dozen mechanics, work- ing feverishly. hurriedly removed the big camera to another plane, which took off for Poughkeepsie, N. Y., with 8. M. Burka, government expert, aboard to man the camera. The take-off was delayed only a short time, Other planes assigned to eclipse expiditions also had difficulty be- cause of the extreme cold, which forced the oil pressure down and made flying impossible In these planes. Two returned to the landing field after trying to ascend. One of the pianes which was un- lof the movement of able to leave the fleld was a Mar- | tn bomber from Quantico, Va., from which ‘a reporter was to nmo a story, The first armg aviators returning td Mitchel fleld reported fallure in thelr attempts to make observations the eclipse shadow, known as the “Jumping rabbit,” They had hoped to obtain valuable data as to whether the shadow moves irregularly, in wave- like motlons, along the path: of shadow, as some sclentists beliove, Instead of any visible tralling across the earth, the shadow grew gradually, forestalling observations to support sclentific conjecture, After landing at the fleld, Major Hensley removed from his plane the radio sending set with which he had intended to broadgast‘an account of the eclipse. The generator of the sending sot was found to be bhurned out, It was sent to the laboratory to letermine 1f the eclipse caused the mishap, whith occurred at the ex- act time of total ecl'pse, Good Pictures The fliers said all the photo sraphs should develop perfectly, and show a shadow of the moon, a per- fect circle, of durkness 100 Zies i diameter with a rim of flashing scarlet, snapped as it slid toward the Atlantic at a speed of nearly 1 mile a second. The exposures -were made when the airplang was above Pough- keepsie, about 50 miles from Long Island Sound, from which point the aviators sald they had a cirele of vision 200 miles in diameter, which included Philadelphia. A temperature of 2 degrees above zéro and a 76 mile wind from the north was encountered as this plane took off, When it reached its “celling” of flight, 16,000 feet, over Poyghkeepsie tle airship thermo- meter recored 18 degrees above zero, During the period of totality, the fliers reported; when the moon's reflectéd circle of darkness was rushing along beneath them, sur- rounded by ordinary daylight, the mercury dropped to 20 degrees be- low zero. Lieutenant Gerald C. MsDonald piloted this flight. -D. W. Goodard, clvillan- sclentist. was his observer and photographer. “Awful, inspiring, ~ tremendous, grand, beautiful,” were some of the The Last Day of Thrift Week— and have you come to the. decision that you should be- gin to put away a few dol- lars each week in that Savings Account?

They said the spectacle of the moon's perfectly shaowed form upon the earth— which they were the first known humans to witness and record—was 80 weirdly glorious that they almost were unable (o operate their auto- malic camera, i Wanted To Go Up Professor Todd, who Is 70 years old and has traveled over the earth to greet eclipses, sald conditions to- day were the best he had ever seen, and he halled with boyish glee the arrival of the airplane with what he later called “these first authentic records of the foon's shadow-—a highly important addition to our scientific knowledge of eclipses,” He had sought the permission of post officers to accompany one of observation alrpfines into the heav- ens, but army doctors advised aganist it. As the sun dwindled to- ward the phase of total eclipse, and he what realized what nearly per- fect conditions for observations ex- isted in the rarificd atmosphere above, he pleaded to be taken on flight, But the officers were obdurate, and the aged professor was forced to | be satistled with the spectacle as he saw it from Terra Firma, The fliers reported they also had obtained a perfect photograph of | the crescent of the sun in partial |ecllpse .as it was reflected on the | tranquil waters of Long Island Sound. Dr. Todd sald these pictures of the moon's shadow and the sun's cres- cent were the first ever to be taken.

This step, the president character- ized as the next move that should be taken by the United States to- ward outlawing war. He suggested also that the nation and the world should “tarn the light of more information and better un- of diplomacy.” Meantime, the president declar the United States shoufd in the in- of peace continue its readiness to assoclate itself with whatever measures would tend to maintain security, but should avoid the danger of “a super-government."” “If the lesson of greatest war shall be lost, then, in- deed will this experience have becn almost in vain,” said Mr. Coolidge. “It is for the generation which saw and survived to devise measures of prevention. If we fail in this, we shall deserve all the disa which will surely be visited upon us be- cause of our failure.
