OBSERVATIONS OF ECLIPSE
OF SUN AT WASHINGTON

Washington, June II. = Although
preparations we're made at the United
States naval observatory here TO take
observations of the eclipse of the sun
today. the cloudy weather spoiled the
plans.
The eclipse here was but partial,
the only place where it was total be-
ing near the North Pole. Few, II any
white men, with the exception Of Com
mander Robert e. Peary and his crew
now In search OF the North Pole, had
an opportunity therefore to observe It.
The eclipse was visible over east
ern Asia and almost the whole OF
North America, Greenland, Iceland
and the northern part of Finland.

with p plume or feather of some de

Is usually in a contrasting color.
There Is wide range of trimmings
from which to choose. One of the very
newest Is fur which is used for the
crown of hats. Some of the fur comes
by the yard but most of 1t is in pieces
of convenient size. One of the
new patterns has a white fox fur
draped over the crown and brim of the
