WASH|NCTON|ANS GAZE
At SHINING DAYTIME STAR
Venus, Appearing Out of Line With
the Sun, Holds Interest Of
Street Crowds.
Visible Because of Peculiar Atmos-
pheric Conditions-Will Soon
Be Lost to View.

Downtown Washington this morning
presented a scene like the fair capital
of France when an air raid by Teu-
tonic birdmen was threatened. or like
that few minutes after the arrival Of
party of sightseeing tourists from
Huckin's Run or Pohick Center, look
ing at skyscraper row in New YORK
city.
On almost every street corner crowds
of people stood and gazed skyward.
On roof tops and in windows of office
buildings people engaged in this same
sky-gazing practice. Few knew what
they were looking at, but that didn't
matter. This morning it was quite the
proper thing to look at the sky and at
the same time look wise.

she alighted from a street car at the

cause of all the excitement was star,

why, who ever heard of such
thing" remarked the sweet young
thing heretofore mentioned.
"A star shining in the daytime! We
don't want to be among those present
when the fool-catcher comes along.
Gee. amt some people awful booDs.
And then the sweet young thing left,
but the c.'owd stayed. They were posi-
tive they could see the star.
A few minutes later a bright young"
reporter arrived on the scene. In fact,
he didn't exactly arrivs on the scene,
for the star gazing stunt was being
carried on DIT almost every street
corner and the rept rter had been visit
ing various gatherings of gazers.
Whats the crowd looking at?"
asked the reporter, this being the
proper countersign this morning in the
downtown own theater Of business:

reporter. This guy might be stringing

Learns Star Is Venus.
les have West 1884,. said the re-
porter to an ob1iging telephone girl a
few minutes later, and before long he
was talking with Prof. Hall at the Ma
learned that the star was Venus, alias
the Morning Star, alias the Evening
Star
Today she was going by the first of
her aliases. She will continue to use
this name. Prof. Hall explained, until
she alters her position with regard to
the sun and becomes the Evening Star.
As rule, Venus is in line with the
sun during the daylight hours and can
not be seen, but at the present time she
is further away than usual and can
readily be discerned. For a week or
more Venus has been approaching this
position, Prof. Hall said, but soon she
will begin to get back in line with the
sun again and Will be lost from sight
during the daytime. Then she will go
by the name of Evening Star, and will
be seen in the evening in the west.
Prof. Hall said Venus was unusually
visible today because of peculiar
atmospheric conditions.

Secretary Garrison
Declares New Bridge
Across Potomac Needed

Secretary Garrison today said he had
been asked again to report on the sub
iect of a new bridge across the Poto-
mas to take the place of the old Aque-
duct bridge, and would do SO when in
formed precisely what is desired.
With respect to the Carlin bill pro-
yiding for a new bridge on the site of
the old one, and mot east of saith
street." Secretary Garrison said he had
already reported that the appropria-
tion of $1,5o0.000 contained in that
measure was amply sufficient for the
purpose, and that a bridge on the pro-
nosed line would not interfere with the
of the river. He said he
was prepared to repeat or reiterate
those statements. The existing Aque-
duct bridge has been repeatedly con-
demned by army engineers for many
years past, and the need of new
bridge Is acknowledged by Secretary
Garrison and everybody else at all con-
yersant with the situation.

1t appears, however. that Represent
atiye Adamson and other representa-
tives controlling bridge legislation
want to have the War Department on
record in advance as to the best site
for the proposed bridge. Secretary Gar

pared to express a personal opinion on
that point, neither could the chief Of
engineers and his assistant be ex-

Germans Are Quick Firers.

A strong German detachment with
quick frers held the route, but the
winding nature Of the road prevented
the Germans from firing more than 700
yards along 1t. The French advanced
to within this distance of the Germans
while the Alpine troops began to climb
the heights to attack the Germans on
their flank.
Progress was slow and the dark forms
Of the soldiers outlined against the snow
made excellent marks for the German
sharpshooters. Many of the men rolled
down the steep slopes, leaving crimson
stains behind. The survivors pushed for
ward until they gained the shelter of the
pines at the summit.
Then began an exciting charge on the
Germans at Diedolshausen The Alpina
soldiers on their skis slid down the noun
tain side at dizzy speed, while the in
fantry in the road below opened fire on
the Germans. Caught between two fires
the Germans gave way. fighting obsti-
nately along the five miles of their re-
treat.

each, which was paid Judge Smith

that men passing through this county
would be compelled to do so. They

WAFER USERS FINED
Geodfng People Fined for Running
Water in Road.

There is good reason to believe
that less water will be wasted on the
Gooding roads in the future than in
the past. A number of spots have
recently been made impossible
through the carelessness of water
users who permit their bitches tc
overflow and the water to run into
the roads, to form great mud holes
Besides the damage to the highways
such practice is regarded as Grim
inal waste of water in this season oi
water shortage
Two of these offenders were haul
ed into court this week The first
was Mrs. A. E. Rasmussen, just north
east of town, who was arrested on
complaint of Martin Silk for allow
ing water to run onto the public high
way She pleaded guilty and was
fined $25 and costs. the minimum fine
allowed by law.
The other offender was E. T. MIL
Ter, living south of town, the COM
plainant in this case being Sheriff
Sanders. Miller pleaded guilty and
was also fined $25 and costs,
The officers state that both OF
these parties had been notified and
1t is believed that the action taken
in these cases will have tendency
to abate the water-in-road nuisance
