Mizuno, a Japanese military expert, on the Mike, Captain Thorsen 18 to blame other hand, is telling the Japanese what actually means hat dhe that neither the United States nor Great Britain to worry about a war with Japan, in spite of her great army and navy. He says that the o enemy against whom Japan is arming must be the United States, and he asks what would Japan do with an army of 2,000,000 men against the United States? Japanese milite s plan to seize China in case of a War, and use China as a base from which to get iron, coal, food and other necessaries which she does not pro- duce in sufficient quantities herself. But, says Mizuno, China is protected from this by treaty with the great powers, and would they stay out of the war if Japan made China another Belgium? Moreover, he thinks it would take a huge army in China to do the work, and that even this force could not extract from an unwilling China what would be needed. Look at the French “suc- cess” in the Ruhr!

The great and terrible devastation of the war's red oe affected only a part of the physical faces of France and Be Igium. The economic devastation that is now per- “mitted or promoted by the chin-waggers affects the whole > civilized world in one way or another. Over a million men are idle in England alone. Industry is sick. Trade is trapped. Markets are destroyed. Economic distress ‘is hard in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzer- and, Italy, Greece, and Spain, to say nothing of France and Germany. Our own United States finds itself all " dressed up to go to a mart that no longer exists. And Statecraft is to blame—statecraft that cocks its tympan- ‘ums to catch only the tickle of its own vociferations and Teaves the peoples of the world to hold the bag. An armistice, four years ago, quieted the belching guns and every involved nation was the gainer. An armistice now that will silence the limber tongues and quiet the nimble chins that voice only the language of war and will serve the involved nations far more gainfully. __ If the harried people of Europe could be released from ‘the constant war tension; if they were permitted to think, in a natural way, of natural things and processes that e have no relationship or kin with blocd and battle; if they “might give their efforts and energy to peaceful pursuit of trade and commerce and right living—if, we say, they night have two years of civil armistice, they would right lves, their nations and each other. At the end of ‘ time of peace they would be ripe to approach, with evel heads, cooled blood and sane plans, the after-de- ids of war that now vex them to the point of ruin. More than that, and it is worth over $100,000 of Mr, '$ Money to attain the result, they would be in a posi- n and a state of mind to make peace permanent and e world happy. Below the Equator js common for a wealthy Latin American to pur- five or six autos at a time, great ropes of pearls, nds, sapphires and rubies. This is the most inter- ting fact brought from his latest South American tour by E. M. Newman, travelogue lecturer. Newman is enthused, and with good reason, about the ‘possibilities of trade between United States and Latin America—particularly Argentina. He figures that South America has.a purchasing power three times as big as France’s and 10 times as big as Ja- 3 /) There’s a market worth going after. et _ Ten years ago, when Newman visited South America, “he noticed very few American autos. On his recent trip he found American cars by the thousands. Our autos are 80 popular south of the equator that they have practically driven the cars of all other nations off the market. ' Newman says: “Contrary to the popular impression, outh Americans have great pride in their personal ap- pearance. American collars, shirts, underwear, hosiery, ‘shoes and hats find great favor. “American moving pictures are the only ones shown. Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin and fackie Coogan are as well known in South American cit- es as they are in our own.” Good news, that we are finding such favor with our eighbors to the far south. a” * * Argentina is an especially logical market for the Amer- ican manufacturer, Lecturer Newman believes, because: “The people of Argentina are the most extravagant é in the world today. Their extravagance excels even hat of the Russian nobility during the czar’s regime.” ~ Newman says that Argentine women, when they appear “in public places of recreation, are so dazzlingly appareled ‘and bejeweled that they eclipse in splendor even Ameri- tions of enormous na- ‘tural resources and national ecohomie productivity that » will place Argentina-—(Brazil also)—in the top ranks of world powers. Many of us are so hypnotized watching the decay of ‘the old civilization in Europe, that we forget there's a ‘mighty new civilization rising on the South Americ continent, : Argentina, in some ways, is the key nation of the world. Psychologists know that the epidemic of world restless- ness that culminated in the world war cropped wut first i Argentina in the form of the tango, mother of jazz life. and shuts off the anot sun Stated in way, w of the moon falls on The is $64,000 aineter and the moon ameter, Al amoter 400 6 moon, it as far from and moon be of nearly is about 400 times us, wo that the sun appear to ua to at the time ars larger it may cover it causing @ other times, completely total more n the moon ix more m ler th the earth, it an the sun, and For this * called an The total t more ortant DIEGO | PATH, OF EC | As the sun is than the much larger moon, the me Figure 2—The track of totality in the eclipse of the sun September 10. shadow is of the shape of a cone. The earth i always near the vertex or point of the cone, so that but a very small part of the earth lies in the cone. As the moon moves over the sun, and ag the earth rotates, the shadow sweeps over the earth's surface and puts other sections in the shadow, Tho path of the shadow is called the eclipme track Tire, trock of this oclipse, which is about 100 miles wide, is shown in Figure 2. The track starts near the coast of Asia and crosses a wide expanse of the Pacific ocean before it strikes the coast of Southern California, It crosses Mexico and Yucatan and then ends on the Atlantic ocean. Scientific observations cannot | made properly except on land, so that only them parts of the track interest us here. As may be seeyffrom the map a very small of the southern part of California, including the town of Diego, 14 in the track. A few islands off the coast are in the track, San Clemente is very near the middle of the track, where the eclipse is longer than the , but the island not 1 suitable living conditions. Santa Catalina is a suitable location, All other loca- tions from which the eclipse may be obwerved are in Mexico. Just following the eclipse, Sep Sproul observatory, Mexican National observatory and the Toronto observatory have select- ed stations near Cuencame.

The time of year ts also such that the prospects for clear weather are poor. That case {s not regarded as a favorable one. Tho next total eclipse visible in the United States occurs in 1945, In this case only a small part of the beginning of tho eclipse track lies in the United States. Another occurs in 1970. STARS WILL | BE OCCULTED On the morning of Séptember 3 the bright star Aldebaran, in ‘Taurus, will be occultea by the moon—that 1s, the moon will pass between us and the star and hide ft. The occultation can be seen only from the south. eastern part of the United States, On September 12 the moon will occult the planet Saturn. This occultation can bea seen from the Western States only. An occultation of Saturn 1s ordinarily a very Interesting event, but In this case the moon is wo near new that even where it i# seen the moon, will be very low in the sky and there will be strong twilight. Uranus, which is not visible to ‘the naked eye, {s the only planet whose position can be marked on Figure 1, Jupiter, in Ifbra, and Saturn, In Virgo, may be seen in the Southwest early in the evening. Jupiter is conspicuous by ronson of its brightness, Mercury $# at its greatest eastern elongation on September 2, and so may be ween about that time low in the southwest in the evening twilight.
