HaHey's comet will NOT be visible
again until Friday, May %, at 8 y. D,

Millions of civilized but uniformed
people who expected to see something
wonderful happen next week, when the
arth passes through the tail of Halley's
comet, are doomed to disappointment
1t will be just like dropping a tiny
bead through an immense and almost
transparent cloud.
Lake Michigan won't boil or its fish
cook; the asphalt pavements Will not
iquify and run into the sewers; the
hair won't sizzle and burn off your

presented themselves to the layman.
