O'clock Sunday Afternoon-Hun-
dreds of Thousands of Dollars Being
Spent to Get Photos of Eclipse.
-W.S.S.-

The extreme shadow, or penumbra,
Of the total eclipse of the sun, which
occurs next Sunday, hits the earth at
a point in the ocean southeast of ia
pan and northeast of the Philippines.
The umbra, or real dark shadow, hits
the ocean just south of Japan, and an
rives at Aberdeen, Wash, at 2:55 Pa
cific time, in the afternoon, and con-
tinues on a curved line across the
United States to Orlando, Fla. The
sadow crosses diagonally across the
United States, distance of 2750
miles in AZ minutes. Owing to the
change effected by the daylight saw
ing law, this time will be one hour
later, the darkest shadow reaching Ell
Centre about 3:55 D. m.
While astronomers throughout the
country are making arrangements to
study the eclipse. it is said that the
scientists of the Mt Wilson observa-
tory are making more elaborate and
palnstaking preparations for the re-
search than any other astronomical
unit in the country.
The principal features TO be obser-
we'd by photography will be the three
parts If the atmosphere surrounding
the sun, part of which can be seen
anly at a time of total eclipse. Dense
gases compose the lower part of the
lower stratum; the central part of the
lighter gases and prominences which

roma, only visible when the bright

The corona is now u chief interest
to astronomers. Little is known of
its causes or its physical conditions
for it is seldom the same at eclipses

TEA RAT|0N|NG
IN GREAT BRITAIN
MSS

London, April 2O.-Seventeen mil
lion people in England are now ra-
toned for tea and steps are being ta-
ken by the food controller to make
the rationing of tea uniform through
out the country.
The rationing scheme has been SO
successful that it has caused the Lon
don queues to fade away as if by ma
gic. The only ones that re main are
the amusement queues, and a few lard
and one or twocat's meat queues.
Until few weeks ago there were
tea queues every day in front of a big
merchants store in Fleet street and
that store reduced it's business hours
TO minimum. Now there is no queue
and the store is open all day. The eX-
PLANTATION Of the manager is that the
tea was not distributed to the small
stores whose customers then came to
the big stores and formed queues.
The margarine shops, whose queues
used to reach around the block, are
now queue-less and have big displays
in their windows and everyone seems
moderately satisfied.

Iowa Facing Coal Famine.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 26.-IOwa is
facing a coal famine Gext winter, un-
less the consumers over the state be-
gin at once the storage Of their next
winters fuel, according to Dan F.
Cushing of Rathbun, the assistant dis
trict representative OF the U. S. fuel
administration. Upon MIR. Cushing's
shoulders has been put the war time
burden of seeing that coal moves at
once into Iowa towns and that coal
mines in Iowa begin Immediately the
rapid production of coal to meet the
demands placed upon it by the federal
fuel administrations.
Exhaustive tests have just been
completed at Ames showing storing
qualities of the coal which can be
secured in Iowa this season. Reports
from there show that coal can be safe
ly stored in the bins Of consumers and
by thus securing a storage supply,
Iowa towns can alone escape a short
age next winter
The federal officials have begun a
campaign with operators, miners and
dealers urging immediate production
and securing delivery to Iowa towns
while the railroads can conveniently
handle the business. The state fuel
administration is taking the question
up with the local committees in an
effort to provide future individual
needs. This and this alone is reported
as the only way to prevent one of the
greatest coal famines ever experienced
in Iowa.

BOYS in France Promoted.

Paul Nickerson, who is with the
Supply company of the 16Sth Infantry
in France, writes John Hunter in this
city that he has just been appointed Il
sergeant He also writes that Bert
Dragoo and Roy Smith, both of this
city, have also been made corporals
His letter, written April S, is in part
as follows:
"Well, Johnnie, =, old boy, everybody
has deserted the office and gone to bed
so I'll try and play few verses OF
Home Sweet Home on the typewriter.
Everything is going fine with me and
especially so in the last two days, as
they have given me permission to wear
sergeant's stripes. My duties are al
most the same as l have been doing
right along, but now draw sergeants
pay instead of first class private's pay
1t will probably place little more
responsibility on me but l should
worry as long as enjoy the work.
Eve are making it out fine here.
We are living in place very similar
to the country around 'Hogsback
And you know the Boy Scouts go out
to a place like that every summer just
for the fun of it. 1t sure is healthy
living and get plenty of exercise, as
walk a mile or so three times day to
meals. Taken all together it is great
sport and wish that you and alex
and "Neely" and the rest of the gang
were with me. You know we were 60
ing down back of Alexis last summer
and live out'-well, this has got that
skinned mile. l see the other boys
quite often, Bert, Milo and Beebe and
the bunch You know Bert is corpo-
raj and Roy Smith was made a cOrpo-
raj at the same time that l was
boosted. We get the home papers
right along and the fellows look ahead
to the latest news from home.
OF course there are 9th II forms OF
amusement over here also. Just this
morning l was awakened by an aerial
miXup over head But as rule we
don't pay much more attention to them
than you would to a fire team answer
ing call l only wish that l could
tell you in letter or personally some
of the many interesting experiences
I've had over here. About all l can
say is that I've seen enough interest
ing things and places to even up for
a couple of years in college. That is,
if fellow looks at them from an edu-
cational point of view. It's almost like
the old history and geography coming
to life. That's why l wish you were
here to take it all in. And on top of
that I've been saving quite bit of
money which will come in awfully
handy when return. This surely has
been some extraordinary year for me.
War was declared just year ago to-
morrow
