At high school and have the option OF enter

From the confidential noie attached to
your letter l gather that in the machin-
cry company you would have an office
position and would develop into a book
keeper and accountant and so on, n
in the retail store you would be first
salesman. then buyer and so on. up to
a store proprietor.
FRANKLY. l don't think there is a PIN
to choose between the two. 1t depends
upon where your i~ncIinations lie. Do
you like accounting better than selling ?
II so. go to the machinery company. II,
however. you find more pleasure in sell
ing. go to the retail store. The job
which appeals most to you is the one at
which you would be most successful.

A partial eclipse Of the sun will begin
here at s:32 o'clock this evening and will
continue until Sis O'Clock.
Philadelphia is too far out of the set
path Of the moon for its view of the sun
TO be totally obscured, but the eclipse
will be seen here in a three-fourths
state.
Because of the eclipse. stars will be
seen two hours ahead of the time they
usually appear. While the moon is
passing across the path Of the sun, caus-
ing the eclipse, which began at sunrise
this morning OF the western coast, the
lunar body will not be visible.
As the eclipse becomes more pro-
ounce the size of the sun as seen from
here will diminish and its shape will
assume that of a crescent, until, at the
height of the eclipse, at 1927 o'clock. II
will appear to Philadelphians to resem-
Bile the new moon. an inverted crescent.
This Is the first total eclipse in this
country since 1900. Astronomers from
all over the eastern part OF the United
States have gone to stations in the West
which are in the path of totally to
make pictures of the corona OF the
eclipse. The corona is the circle of light
that shoots out from the rim OF the
eciipsed SUM-.
The eclipse path of totally extends
, from Washington to Florida and is about
ninety miles in width.
Astronomers who a gone West to
see the eclipse will observe:
First. The corona. which consists of
great display of luminous streamers
around the hidden sun. from which much
may be learned about the electro-mag-
netic influences OF the sun upon the
earth.
Second. The changes that take place
In the magnetism of the earth and tn,
electric state OF the air during the time
the total observation lasts.
Third. The search for new planets
nearer the sun han Mercury. the near.
est one now known.
Fourth. Abnormal or unexpected phe-
nomena that may show either in the
form. extension or color of the corona or
In the condition of the atmosphere of the
earth.
State Senator william Sproul, who
founded the Sproul observatory at
Swarthmore College, sent a party of
local astronomers to Brandon, Col, to
observe the eclipse. In the party are
John A. Miller, professor of astronomy
Mt Swarthmore Miss Grace Jordon, of
Smith College Miss Ella williams and
Miss Hazel Brown, of Svarthmore Col
lege. and Professor Hall and W. T. How
ard, of Indiana College. =
Because OF the notwithstanding meas.
ure passed by Congress the eclipse is an
hour late along its route. Before the
plan to get more sunlight into American
activities was struck upon scientists had
determined and announced the exact
tHne at which the eclipse would be at
various points throughout the country
However, their observations still hold
good, as one hour is added to each
points designated time for seeing the
eclipse.
Seattle. Wash, is the farthest place
N the West that will see the sun totally
unsecured. while the stage of complet,
totaltty will be seen on this side Of thu
country on the eastern side OF Florida.

Trench Fighting VIII
Develop u. S. Soldiers
Says American Scientist

Washington, March 19.-How
will experience, in the trenches al
feet the 100000 fighting Sam
mics?
What indclible mark will be left
with them after their return from
the battlefront?
Some interesting answers are CIV
en- by famous government scientist
DR.. II. Hedlicka, head OF the division
of physical anthropology OF the
Smithsonian institute.
Il am convinced that the trench
experience will be OF the greatest
value to the American boys when
they return to their peaceful
homes" Dr.. Hodlicka said.
"A broad, worldly point Of view
will take the place of the narrow
provincialism.
The enormous amount Of concen-
tratiVe power demanded of the SOL
diers during a period of constant
trench fighting will develop in the
careless, easy going boys a sense of
pride and confidence that will stand
in good stead for them in CONNER
cial and industrial life.
81 can say definitely that their
fighting experience will make them
highly efficient producers. They
will apply themselves with increas-
ed vigor and concentration than
heretofore. Modern trench fighting,
which is mainly a test of resistance
and concentration. is developing a
class Of men of the highest physical
type.
1T has been said that the boys
will return from the firing line
shattered in nerve, their faces, be-
clouded. Nothing is further from the
truth. Studies have shown that ard
uous trench life only affects those
subject to hereditary Irregularities.
The normal men, on the other hand,
by undergoing constant strain, with
periods of furloughs in the rear. are
developed into vigorous, responsible
men.
The constant fighting demands
the soldiers entire attention and re-
sources. His intelligence, and not
his brute power, is brought into
ploy. He is developing observation
power to a remarkable extent.
And when these men march back
to their homes they will bring with
them renewed power that will be
an enormous asset to Americas in
dustrial efficiency"

DR.. Irvine said that Tikhon, the
patriarch of the Russian church
elected in November last. during the
Kerensky regime in Russia, is man
of liberal spirit who, as archbishop
of the Russian church in North Am
! erica had absorbed the spirit Of dem
ocracy. Tikhon, he said, was the
first patriarch of the Russian church
since Peter the Great in the six
teenth century abolished the patri-
archaic Of Russia and set up instead
the holy synod. He introduced into
the synod a procurator general. DR.
Irvine said, Peter had paved the way
for the insinuation of Germanic in
fluences in the life and aspirations
of the Russian people and that this
Teuton influence in church and
state had been for centuries the
curse of the Russian nation.

Berlin and many other German
cities can be leveled to the earth and
the war won in thirty days by an
aerial torpedo which he has invent
ed, according to Lester p. Barlow,
who has an office in the Land Title
building in Philadelphia.
Unsealing the lips of two of the
half dozen men who know the Sc
cret so that they could corroborate
his assertion, Mr.. Barlow, who is the
inventor of an aerial bomb and an
already have proved successful, add
ed that his new aerial torpedo is the
most terribly destructive engine of
warfare that the world has ever
seen.
One of his corroborators is Rep
resentative John @. Tilson. of Con-
necticut, expert on explosives and a
member of the military affairs COM
mittee of the house. The other is
Joseph Steinmetz, president of the
Aero club of Pennsylvania, an air
plane engineer and a well-known
Philadelphia manufactures.
Men Who Know Secret.
Other men who have been told the
secret and who have acknowledged
the terrific possibilities of the inven-
ton, according to Barlow, are Brig
adler General Squier of the signal
corps, who is now in France; Glenn
L. Martin. Of Detroit, the aeronaut-
ical expert. and Louis StOddard, of
New York. a banker.
1t is because Mr.. Barlow is per-
turbed at the delay which he said
has been experienced in arranging
for the manufacture Of the new tor
pedo that he made his announce
ment. He gave the names of the men
as corroborators of his assertions.
Mr.. Steinmetz, in a personal inter-
view here, and Mr.. Tilson in an in
terview in Washington, corroborated
the inventors assertions.
According to Mr.. Barlow, it would
be possible to send the torpedoes to
Berlin from behind the Allied lines
