HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SEE
MERCURY PASS SUMS DISC
$50 Juniors and Seniors Make OBJ
servations Through Telescones.

The passage of Mercury across the disc
of the sun was observed by $50 students
of the junior and senior classes at Cen
tral School today, They climbed to the
roof, whore two telescopes, six-Inch
and an eight-inch, equipped with blue
glasses, had been mounted for the occa-
sion by DR.. Monroe B. Snyder. head OF
the mathematical and astronomical de-
partment.
Conditions were poor for observation,
but for a time the transit OF the planet
was visible. The planet was a black
speck against the disc OF the sun. Mer-
curry entered the field OF the sun at 4:57
a. m. and passed off at $40. when a ter
restrlal fog. much like the eclipse fogs,
obscured the view.
Mercury passes between the earth and
the sun about 13 times every century. the
last time being in November. 1907. The
next transit will be in May, 1924.
The transits take place generally in the
early part of November there being
about twice as many in the latter month
as in May. This is because Mercury's
least distance from the sun falls near the
November nodes. or point where the orbit
crosses the ecliptlc.
Mercury's diameter Is $3.50 miles. and
its distance from the sun varies from
2S5OO.OOO to 4350O.OOO miles. Its year is
about eighty-eight days.

Encouraged, Ford gave them a little
talk on the war and the great things he

a fast step and sang. By that time he
had large audience. A juggling exhibi-

hat on his nose for two minutes, sang a
song, did two more dances and slipped
exhausted into a chair.

Leaders in Business EIated Over
Selection by Federal Re-
serve Board.

Leaders of Atlanta's business and
financial interests were jubllant Fri
day over the selection of Atlanta as a
site for one of the regional reserve
banks authorized by the new curren-
cy act. They declared that the vic
tory firmly establishes Atlanta as the
financial center of the South, and eX-
pressed the opinion that the recognl-
ton of Atlanta's worth and strength
will have a tremendous bearing on
the future Of the city. 1t is consid-
cred an almost certain index of pros
perity and growth.
Coming as a climax to the hardest
fight local business men have ever
engaged in, the victory is regarded
as a magnificent tribute to the Allan
ia spirit and the happy faculty At
lanta business and financial men have
of pulling together and sinking their
personal differences in the battle for
the entire city, of subscribing the in
terests of the few to the interests Of
all
Other Cities Swamped by Facts.
The victory was won over Southern
cities of as great or greater popula-
ton, because Atlanta fighters were
armed with the most formidable array
of facts and figures that probably has
ever been collected in the United
States.
The fight for the bank was led by
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
which began the agitation for bank
almost as soon as the currency bill
was passed. A committee of mem
bers of the Chamber and local bank
ing interests led the battle, and for
three months a campaign was con-
Quoted that was regarded as almost
certain of success from the begin
ming. Virtually every man Of infiu-
ence in the city enlisted in the fight
and when the official hearing of the
regional bank committee, composed
of Secretaries McAdoo and Houston
and Comptroller of the Currency VIII
liams was held in Atlanta, such cities
as New Orleans, Birmingham, Chat
tanooga and others were buried under
an avalanche of logical. ably present
ed reasons why Atlanta should be
chosen as one of the bank sites.
Leaders in the Fight.
In the vanguard of the fight were
Robert F. Maddox, j. X. Orr Wilmer
J.. Moore and others of the men who
are actively identified with Atlanta's
business and financial interests,
backed by United States Senator
Hoke Smith. Congressman William
Schley Howard and other members
Of Georgia's Congressional delegation,
and by every citizen Of Atlanta
The attention OF the entire country
was called to Atlanta's fight by the
great chain of Hearst newspapers. In
addition to the support Of The At
lanta Georgian and American. which
fought for Atlanta at every opportu-
nifty, editorials and news stories in
Mr.. Hearst's newspapers in Boston

Deluged with congratulatory tele-
grams from all parts Of the country
and smiling broadly with the assur-
ance of a great victory. Atlanta
bankers Friday formed the most OPP
timistic and cheerful coterie that
could have been found in all the
South.
The reason, OF course was the re-
gional bank.
THE biggest boost Atlanta has had
Ia years" was the way Charles +.
Currier, president OF the Atlanta Ma

might say Atlanta has gained a pres
