_— PARTIAL ECLIPSE OF SUN SEEN HERE Noticeable Diminishing of Light and Heat Elfect Here Perfect atmospherical conditions made possible an unobstructed view of the partial eclipsc of the sun yesterday afternoon, thousands in | this city observing the phenomenon through smoked glass, old photo- graph film and other devices. Beginning shortly after 3 o'clock. the big air circus lasted for than two hours. At 4:30 o'clock, sun had become only a crescent shadow of the moon cove solden orb to the extent of 54 per | cent. Eminences and open fields held their contingents of watchers who saw the moon partly blot out the sun. The earth had the appearance of the usual pre-evening hour while Sol went into partial obscurance and an increased chill in the air was noted. morc the , the ing the Photos Made Excellent San Francisco, April 29 (£ —Pho- tographs of a celestial phenomenon, fthe eclipse of the sun by the moon, were available to posterity today, thanks to a roaring wind which at the critical moment swept aside a black cloud which had obscured the view. The black cloud, apparently form- ed by mist in the frigid air, startled scientists and their aviator tants along the line of totality, stretching castward across the Sierra moun- iins from just north of San Iran- cisco. Shouts of bitter disappoint- ment greeted the dark hlotch, but a moment later a strong wind. swept the cloud away and scores of cam- cras photographed the eclipse. “The sky was blue one moment, as we were flying more than three miles above the carth, but the next mo- ment the cloud had formed,” said J. M. 1. Haase, United States navy photographer. “A moment later a roaring wind swept the black cloud away.” Described By Experts The swift passage of the moon's giant shadow was described by Cap- n A. W. Stevens and Lieut. J. D. Corkille of the army air corps exper- imental laboratory of Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio. “We were high above a layer of white clouds about 15,000 feet over Honey Lake in northern California,” said Captain Stevens, “suddenly we spied what we thought was a moun- ~tain about 75 miles in the distance. “We knew it could not be a moun- tain for the highest peak in the vi- cinity was about 9,000 feet. The dark spot appeared to be stationary at first. Then we saw it approaching us and knew it was the moon's shadow. “The dark spot came slowly at We trained our motion picture camera upon it and started grinding out film. Itaster and ter the l adow came on the clouds below. | It passed beneath us so rapidly we | could hardly perecive it. Turning our plane we photographed it as it dis- | appearcd. i “The shadow appearcd fo he Iuminous and bluish purple and its | diameter was about three-fourths of | a mile, with. its cdges clearly de- | fined. | “A snowstorm the plane at the and the exhau plane froze streaks H\ the remperature Drops The eclipse caused a noticeable drop in temperature to the scientists | on the ground. As the sky darkened the air became chill, and an unearth- 1y silence awed the spectators. As the moon moved across the face of the sun, astronome Observatory and other scien tained an almost unobstructed view | of the cclipse from vantage points | near Honey Lake in northern Cali- | fornia. | Hundreds of photographic records | were made by the expeditions, the most comprehensive ever gathered to | photograph an cclipse. The results of the expeditions pleased Dr. W. W. Campbell, president of the University of Califorr The plates bearing piclures of the eclipse were taken to laboratories for minute examination of spectroscopic lines and comparison and checking | of data. The brief totality of the eclipse, 1.3 seconds, did not shut off the sun's light for a sufficient length of time to permit taking of the sun's corona as in past cclipses.

Every door and window means lost heat. The construction | of your house, its location and ex- | posure, must also be considered. Accurate formulas governing flxpe sizes and furnace capacities ave been developed through years of experimental work at the Uni- versity of Illinois, resulting in what is known as the Standard Code of the National Warm Air Heating Association. Torrid Zone dealers figure and install according to those formulas—and are granted the franchise solely on their ability to follow the scientific principles of the standard code. On proper installation the Len- nox Furnace Company guarantees to replace any part of the Torrid Zone, except grates or liners, if it wears out within ten years from date of purchase. The average life, however, based on actual service records, is 21 years. Made by the Lennox Furnace Com- pany, Syracuse, N. Y..—Marshall- town, Jowa—Toronto, Canada. Thomas F.

The proposals of his government regarding this type of concerted ac- tion against war, YLord Cecil an- necunced included the suggestion that the preamble to the treaty should contain the following provi- sion:— oting that to this end (the pre- vention of war) the task of the council of the League of Nations and the purposes of the pact of Paris in insuring peace and concilia- tion might be facilitated by under- takings assumed voluntarily in ad- vance by the states.” Similarly Lord Ceccil suggested that in view of the existence of the Kellogs pact another article of the proposed treaty be modified by d:- leting 4 phrase which recognizes the pessibility that peaceful means of settling disputes might fail. After the British proposals had been submitted in written general discussion on the drafting of treaty was adjourned until tomor- |amination that would make him a| row. The committee also the question of providing airplanss for use of the league in time of crisis. The drafting of a resolution covering this scheme was referred to a sub-committee. considered NWu, GREEN ? 25TAMP$§ RUBEN'S Shirts 39c¢ Baby Novelty Bibs 49c —Embroidered and ap- pliqued.
