LUNA HIDES HER
FACE FOR WHILE

Ii you are a policeman on a late
trick; milkman, or night watch
man, you probably won't have to be
told about it. If you are not, and you
saw it yourself, you probably won't
admit it, for the chances were you
shouldn't have been up at that time
of night, and possibly will keep it to
yourself. But there was something
that took place during the early hours
today that doesn't often occur, and at
tracted much attention among the few
who did view it.
The something was a partial eclipse
of the moon, which was distinctly Wis
ible for some time, not only in Hat
tiesburg. but throughout the entire
United States, where no cloudy wealth
er was present.
The eclipse took place at 90.
O'Clock this morning. central time, and
until 3:24 o'clock, part of the moor
was obstructed, so far as a view of il
from the earth is concerned. While {
small one, the eclipse was easily notet
and many persons observed it, purel.
by accident, not having been "tippet
off, that it was to occur.
One-seventh of the moons surface
was in the shadow during almost tn
entire time.
| Another eclipse will occur on tn
| evening of July IA, at Sis O'Clock
! central time, and will be seen by pei
| sons other than night hawks and earl
ramblers.
