 Mai. Hilton in an interview talked entertainingly of his for mer acquaintance with the tramp star. He said:
 T saw Halley's comet when it appeared 76 years ago, and re member it very distinctly At that time I was only seven years old and lived in Carrolton, Tenn. The comets appearance at that time was accompanied by me- teoric shower, or rather, at the time I observed it I never saw so many falling stars in my life. The people at that time didn't t didn't seem near so badly stirred up about the possibility that the comet would collide with the earth. 1 guess they never thought of such thing and the newspapers never put it into their heads.

 tions are slow today. Those who owe are putting it off until to- morrow to see If they will have to pay or not. While scientists say there is nothing in the tail of the comet which will affect the human race, yet all are skeptical to a greater or lesser degree and until 10:48 tonight all will be a bit on the anxious seat.
 According to District Director Alciatore of the United States Weather Bureau, the earth will begin to pass through the tail of the comet tonight at $50 and for 5S minutes the journey will be continued If nothing happens before 1O:48 the people will then know they are safe through an. other impending catastrophe.
 District Director Alciatore last night predicted clear and cool day for today, with clear skies tonight. If his calculations are correct, all sorts of queer lights are expected to be seen in the West.
 District Director Alciatore says it will be the sight of a life time if the sky is only clear, though the queer Western lights will be all that can be seen tc show the earth is passing through the tail of the comet.
 Tomorrow morning as usual, the comet will appear in the Eastern sky, close to the sun and more brilliant than it has been at any time yet.
 Tomorrow night, soon after sunset, the comet will be seen in the Western sky, and continue to appear there nightly, dimin- ishing rapidly in brilliancy until it finally disappears, to re-appear again in about 75 years.
 There are many of the Hitter ate class in this city wEo actually fear destruction when the earth passes through the tail of the comet tonight.
 District Director Alciatore has watched the course of the comet possibly more closely than any one else in Arkansas, making a study of the heavenly wanderer, He says that the scientists of the Philippines will have the first choice of observations of the comet when it passes with it's tail about the earth. This part of the earth is so situated that the comet, if it is dense enough, will produce total eclipse of the sun tomorrow. He says the Philippines have the best appara tus in the country for such study and all records made by them will be the most complete.
