JSTRONONERS HEAD FOR EAST INDIES Kclipse of Sum on May 9 At- tracts Earth's Savants Berlin, May 3 UP—Five minutes of total eclipse of the sun, predicted by astronomers for May 9, set in mo- tion three expeditions of German savants to make observations In northern Sumatrs, Siam and the Philippines. The first group will test the ef- fects of Einstein’s relativity theor the second will investigate the spec- trum of the sun's corona; the third will attempt to show by photo- graphs that sun spots determine the shape of the corona, The costly ex- peditions have been undertaken in the full knowledge that unfavorable weather may balk them completely. Al ding to Professor A. Kopff, diracter the Astronomic Math matieal Institute at Berlin-Danhlei “the regions In which the observ tion of the total eclipse is poasible are not faverably located. The teo- tality zone for the most part cuts through the Indian Ocean and touches land only in the northern part of Sumatre, 6n the peninaula of Malakka, and in the middle section of the Philippines. “Besides, experience has shown that in the tropica the conditions for observing total eclipses are les favorable than in temperate zones. But an eclipse of such long dura- tion is 80 unusual that astronomers BABY BETTY LEADER OF FASHION ALREADY 254 !:I’yle Copled .i, Many : London, May 3.—(UP)—Princess Elisabeth, baby daughter of the Duke and Dunchess of York, is al- ready a leader of fashion, although she is only three years old. It ays used to be that tiny girls were dreased in white or pink blue. No mother dreamed of using yellow until the Duchess of York set the fashion. Nowadays Pgincess Elizabeth wears colors of delicate yellow tones on nine days out of ten, and mothers of all degrees are following the color fashion with their own baby girls. In the shofs the same tendency \s notable, and yellow has its own way in the baby departments. Instead of the old-time white-hung cots and bassinettes tied with ribbons of blue or pink, there are now assort. ment of “baby beds” decked with pale yellow silk and muslin and soft ribbon bows. Three baby depart. ments of famous ILondon stores proved to be “all yellow,” and sales people testified to the new populari- ty of color. “A couple of years ago, if anyone wanted yellow things for a baby. |we should have had to order them specially, but now yellow is by far the most popular color we sell,” one saleswoman declared. “Every mother wants some yellow frocks for her baby girl, and many of them copy the primrose bonnets which Princess Elizabeth often wears. “Yellow nurseries also are very of the whole world have neverthe- | po less made preparations for its ob- servation.” The first German group con of Potsdam professors, hesded by Dr. Erwia Freundlich, Dr, van Klue: ber and Dr. Walter Grotrain. i will make its observations in t highlands of North Bumatra.

It will be the firat time King of United Italy has Pope, and the majordomos of both | sovereigna are racking their brains| and pouring over old times to find | precedents for every move. Pius IN did not see the Victe: Emmanuel who in 1870 took away his temporal power. Since then the Kings of Italy have been under a technical ban of excommunication. It is believed that when the po- litical and the apiritual sovereigni meet, the usual customs in Catholic countries, which give precedence to the Pope, will be followed. The King it is expected, will bow to the Pope in disputed matters of procedure, giving full honor to the apiritual po- |sition of the latter without at the {same time losing any of his personal dignity in the eyes of the people. Military honers for the Pope are fixed by the Regulations for Military Discipline, in which it is stated that “‘every man in uniform owes a salute to the Supreme Pontiff.”” Nodles of troops present arms while the trum- pets sound. If on the march when the Pontiff appears they halt, wheel toward him and present arms. that a ! met a the exception of the Cardinais Pala- tine.

FRANCE COLLECTS TAX ON GASOLINE ON ROAD Amount in Tank Measured on Ea- tering and leaving Paris—Ohange i System Is Now Proposed. Paris, May 3 (M—Increasing the Parisian automobile license $3.00 or $10.00 & year is the newest proposal ! means of doing away with the long i'délays leaving and entering city gat Since medieval days vehicles have had to stop at the octroi, or cus- toms offices, and pay duty on many products, The system applied to au- tomebiles is to give a green slip on leaving and to take it up on enter- ing. The amount ef gaseline In the tank | rked on the slip. If more is_brought back it is supposed ® pay a duty of abeut 3 ceats a gal- lon. It costas the eity 17 per.cent of its octroi receipas to cellect them while 2 per cent covers ordinary tax eollecting. With that economy and the increased license fees it is calculated the city would get much money, trafic congestion at the gates would be relieved and drivers would be happler. At the same time the duty on gasoline would be equai to that assessed out- | side a0 drivers would fll their tanks in Parle, helping local business.

Take the word of Dr. James Young Simpson of the University of Edinburgh that that fact is indis- putable, although granting that a year or two, or maybe a thousand or two years may have to be added or subtracted to be exact, Not that it makes any difterence. Dr. Simpson told an audience of Hollins college undergraduates, but aclence found it a pretty problem | to play with and solved it. “The thing scientists have found about the universe which is even more impressive than ita size or age is ita orderliness.
