TURKS START DOWN
FROM HIGH PERCH
People of East Refuse to Pay
Fancy Prices for Thanksgiv-
ing Birds and Drop Comes.
EGG BOYCOTT IS AT WORK

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. 29.-With the
public refusing to buy the turkeys at
high prices, the market here has sus-
tanned another sharp slump and
prices today were as low as 10 cents
a pound for the live fowls and large
supply on hand.
Shippers who had sent many car
loads and boat loads here expecting
to sell their fowls for IS cents a
pound live weight, found few buyers
and they had to slash their quotations
or find no takers.
Retail dealers are still holding out
for IS cents pound dressed weight.
but some were forced to sell as low as
% cents pound yesterday.
Shippers had been expecting. to get
IS cents a pound live weight. Some
shippers, rather than accept the low
prices, sent loads of turkeys back to
Ohio and West Virginia. Others sold
for what they could get. Further
price reductions are expected.
Egg Prices Go Down.
New York, Nov. 29.-The price of
cold storage eggs at wholesale was
! to 2 cents lower today than yester-
day morning when the egg boycott
began.
Eggs sold at "a to SO cents a dozen,
according to grade. The average price
for fresh eggs was 63 cents, as COM
pared with S. cents at this time a
year ago. The price of fresh eggs
showed no change from yesterday.
Some wholesale dealers asserted
that the boycott would play into the
hands of foreign buyers. They said
that men who want eggs for export
are waiting for price reduction. The
Housewives league today continued
active missionary work to discourage
the use of eggs.
Chicago, Nov. 29.-City, state and
federal officials together with civic,
women's and other organizations
were working today in an attempt to
solve the high cost of foodstuffs
problem.
1t was announced that municipal in
spectors had discovered in storage
about 100000 eggs of questionable
quality, while more than 100000
eggs were found in cold storage
houses awaiting price increases. In
addition government inspectors found
100000 eLgs stored i'll another
warehouse.
Charles F. Clyne, United States dis
trict attorney, began an inquiry into
charges that James E. Wetz is the
holder of 72.000,000 eggs in Chicago
and to learn if Wetz is not the actual
owner who is backing the alleged at
tempted corner.

stand its nature and its action, ! must
ask the reader to try with me a very
instructive experiment. Let us place a
piece Of white paper in direct sun
light and hold small ball to the
paper. We notice that the shadow Is
black and sharp and as large as the
ball. AS we separate the ball and
paper, the shadow becomes more and
more indistinct at the edge. The true
shadow we call the umbra, and the in
distinct part the penumbra. When we
have separated our ball and paper so
far that their distance apart Is ia
times the size of the ball, the umbra
has diminished to point and the
penumbra has grown to have diam
eter twice as large as the ball, If our
ball is as large as the moon on figure
l, and is held at distance of ia
times its diameter from the figure, its
shadow or umbra will be the point on
the line ABB which Is at the time 2:46,
while the penumbra will be the outer
and larger circle. We will not be able
to see the umbra and penumbra on
our paper, because the first Is a point
and the second is too faint, but they
are really there, notwithstanding. We
can actually see them or their effects
WY aAbdi ntUiy IL we put tyt Ill
the place of the paper and look at the
ball. taking the precaution to use a
smoked glass. When our eye Is ex-
actly on the circumference or edge Of
the penumbra, we will see our ball
apparently touching the sun. This
astronomers call contact. first con-
tact when the eclipse begins, last con-
tact when 1t ends AS we move our
eye along, or better, as our moon, the
ball. moves across the sun, we will
see the sun obscured more and more,
until 1t is completely covered and we
have a total eclipse.
Now as the moons distance from
the earth may vary about 16 per cent,
the moon when far away appears
smaller than usual and cannot cover
the whole sun, whereas when near it
appears larger and can more than
cover the whole sun. In the first case
the point Of the moons shadow, the
apex Of the shadow cone, does not
reach the earth; the sun appears as a
ring OF light about the black moon,
Omaha daily bee., 1916-11-30

and we have an annular or ring
eclipse. In the second case the apex
Of the shadow would penetrate the
earth II the latter were transparent. or
which amounts to the same thing, the
moons shadow on the earth Is of some
size, and everyone that chances to be
in It sees the sun totally eclipsed.
After this probably long. but neces-
sary, preamble we are prepared to
understand the exceptional conditions
of the present eclipse. In an ordi-
nary solar eclipse the path of the
moon, ABB on figure l, lies across some
part of the earth, so that the places SO
situated may see total or an annular
solar eclipse Every place inside the
penumbra sees the sun partially
eclipsed, the magnitude increasing al
most In q direct ratio to nearness to
its center. Every place on the for
ward edge Of the penumbra has first
contact at the same moment, every
place on its retreating side has last
contact.
In some .eclipses the central line
does not fall on the earth at all, so
that the eclipse is only partial one
everywhere. In the present eclipse the
moons path ABB is so far off the earth
that the pelumbra does little more
ttar craze the earth, covcring'ht to
the extent Of only COOS of its ra-
dius. that is, only about thirty-two
miles This Is the first most eXcep-
tional fact connected with the pres
ent eclipse. and has never happened
before during the thirty-three years
that the writer has studied eclipses
The moment at which the penum-
bral circle Gverlaps the earth most

gram figure | shows the penumbra

thu earth has turned one ana 4 haIf

difference Is hardly noticeable. II the

Time was-and I feel that should
finish the quotation by saying, when
the little toy dog was new and the
soldier was passing fair" but this is
no time for sorrow and had intended
to talk about Thanksgiving. To re-
sumo the thread of thought, then,
time was when Thanksgiving stood
for snow and sleigh rides to the old
country place, where all the cousins
and uncles and aunts, big and little,
gathered after service at the little
country church to give thanks with
grandfather and grandmother over a
bountiful turkey dinner.
Thanksgiving still remains the day
of homecomings and plentiful repasts,
but snow and sleigh-bells have gone
out of fashion. Now we frown if dark
clouds threaten a downfall of flakes,
for our plans necessitate clear weather
our plans, you understand, to at
tend one of the numerous foot ball
games. There you will find half Of
!, Omaha's elite tomorrow. Some will
see big eastern games, others will
motor to Lincoln to see the Nebraska
Notre Dame fray and yet others will
attend the High school-St. Joseph
game or the Creighton game here.
Some visitors are coming to make the
day festive and despite all our troubles
and the high cost Of living Omaha
will lift radiant face tomorrow morn
to give thanks for its many blessings.
Many celebrations will begin this
evening! when the Fontenelle, the
Blackstone and the Omaha club will
