 One of the principal pieces of appa ratus is a special spectroscope to be attached 10 the 21-inch telescope at the Denver observatory with which to photograph the suns corona. Oppor- tunity to photograph the corona is af- forded only during total eclipse and astronomers are greatly interested in the result of this work as affording op- portunity to study the composition of this great outer belt of luminous gases which surround the sun.
 Photo Will Be Taken
 Photographs also will be taken of the sky in the region os the sun in search Of any stray comet, and also of the mythical planet Vulcan, which some astronomers have asserted has it's or bit so close to the sun that it can be seen only during an eclipse. The ex- istence of such a planet is doubted by most astronomers. however.
 Besides the staff from Yerkes ob- servatory, other astronomers are plan ming to work at the Denver observa- tory. Among them are Prof. A. V Turner of the College of the City of
 
 Alleghany observatory; Professor Bei- field of Dennison University, and Pro- lessor Moore of the United States bureau of mines.

ECLIPSE IF SUN
 POSTPONED HOUR
 DUE ID WAR TIME
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel


 DENVER, Colo. May 1S.-The total eclipse of the sun forecast to occur on June has been postponed for one hour This is not the result Of any error in the calculations of the astrono- mers nor is it due to an order by modern Joshua that the sun stand still, but is chargeable to the operations of the daylight saving law as a result of which the clocks throughout the United States were set forward an hour on March 31.
 In consequence the eclipse will be- gin in Denver at 4:12 p. m., will be- come total at 5:22 D. m, will pass from totality at 5:24 p. m. and will end at 6:27. The same variation in the hours of the eclipse will prevail throughout the length of the fifty-mile belt. extending from the southeastern corner of Washington state to the coast of Florida. in which the total eclipse will be visible
 This change in hours will not affect the astronomers, however, as their clocks still are adjusted to standard sun time
 Prepare to Observe It Preparations for observing the eclipse, the first total eclipse of the sun visible in the United States since | 1900 and the last until 1923, are going aheaf rapidly at the University ot Denver observatory. where astronomers l from Yerkes observatory will make their observations.

 Two machine gun crews in advance of the main body got through the gap and right in our rear. They nipped through very quick and smart and planted their guns in a shell hole in no time, and intended no doubt to wipe us off the map. But our boys spotted their game.
 There were only about twenty three of us and the Huns with their machine guns were about 30 yards dis tant at our backs. Yes. he thought he'd got us beat, but we had something up our sleeve yet. As quick as light ming our chaps threw a nice little dose of Mills bombs at 'em and that was the enid of them. The whole lot were done in!

 We then looked to see what was happening in front of our trenches. I saw they were coming full tilt at us. They outnumbered us. I should say, by 10 to 1. But we got busy with our machine guns and rifles, and did great execution, cutting lines in em.
 When they spotted what had hap pened to those machine-g gun crews they saw their chance was up. They turned right about and ran and they did run, too. You see, they weren't more than l5 yards away when they turned, and l don't think a single one of them got back to their line again. They were all killed or wounded.

What constitutes good plumbing in
the modern home is a question that
comes up to- every present-day home
builder or house remodeler. 1t is a
question that can be answered in a
number Of ways, and my purpose here
is not to tell you how you can install

ing house design and make a sanitary
job of 1t, but, on the contrary. to give
you such information that you will be
able to see that the plumber gives you
the best job he is capable of for the
amount Of money which you give him
for that purpose, for l do not believe
that any man, however handy he may
be with tools, can do as good job of
plumbing as a licensed plumber can,
nor should he attempt to do so.
However, there is no doubt that any
one who cOntemplates installing plumb
ing on his premises can effect an APP
preciable saving both of patience and
money by learning for himself some
of the fundamental rules about plumb
lug.
With reference to the design illus
trated, we have a floor plan which

and customs for the modest home. 1t Is

venlence. On the second floor are two
large bedrooms, bathroom and ample
closet space.
Every Fixture Should Have Trap.
As to the. plumbing, perhaps you
have noticed under a sink a piece of
pipe bent to resemble the letter "S'
laid on its side. This is what Is
known as trap" Every fixture, and
by that is meant the sink, the wash
trays, the bath tub. water closet and
lavatory, should have trap placed d.
rectly below the outlet Of the fixture.
This is demanded by all the laws Of
health and by practically every city
as a plumbing ordinance. The reason
for this trap Is that all Of the waste
matter from the fixtures passes
through this trap on the way to the
sewer, and In the bottom Of the trap
there Ia always a small quantity Of
water which absorbs the gases and
odors which come from the pipes and
sewers and prevents these gases and
odors from coming back into the
rooms, which would cause headaches,
sickness and other Ills So, primarily,
the first importance Of good plumbing
requires that every fixture shall be
trapped.
Traps are usually vented. that is.
the crown or top Of trap Is connect
ed to a small pipe. which runs to the
outside air. This is done so that when
ever a large quantity Of water or
waste matter Is discharged through a
trap. or II another fixture nearby is
suddenly emptied. tie suction caused
in the pipes by the sudden rush Of wa
ter prevents the trap from siphoning
or running dry. In which case there
would be no prevention from the gases
passing back from another trap into
the house. However. there are traps
which can be purchased which do not
require the extra expense OF baek-yent-
ing with an air line. These traps are
called non-siphon or anti-siphon traps,
and are built In such way that II is
impossible for them to be entirely emp
tied Of water, but the expense Of In
stallation is almost the same In either
case.
Traps Should BE Cleaned.
The second important item Is to see
that every trap has a clean-out that Is

accessible, and that they are used.
For If every trap was cleaned out perl
Odically by the user, there would be
considerably less plumbing bills to pay,
for any plumber will tell you that a,
stuffed-up trap or one that Is I'M,
cleaned is the seat Of so per cent Of

of cleaning their traps, because It is.
an unpleasant job and will, instead,
wait until the traps are stopped up.
then call for the plumber, and wonder
why the bills are large, when they are
caused by their own negligence. :
One Of the most important traps I'm
the house. but one that is seldom la-
stalled on account OF the small addl-
tional cost, is the grease trap for the
kitchen sink. This consists OF a re-
ceptacle placed under the sink, which
receives all Of the waste matter from
the sink and passes 1t through this
trap, which is surrounded by water.
cooled chamber, cooling the greasy wa
ter and forming a solid cake of grease,
which can be easily removed from the
trap by taking of the cover. The trap
is cooled by connecting the cold water
pipe In such a manner that all water
6rawn through the faucets must first
pass through this cooling chamber
without coming In contact in any way
with the grease chamber This trap
can also be placed outside and buried

en- from 1t and carried above the roof:
this vent pipe will then act like a
chimney, and draw all Odors from the
trap and discharge them above the
roof. In this kind of trap no water
is used to cool the trap, as the ground
acts as cooling medium. This grease
lrnp is more important than many peO.
PIE think, for there is nothing that will
clog up pipe quicker than grease
from kitchen sink. and especially is
this true in country plumbing, where
there is no public sewer and a sew.
age disposal system is used.
Refrigerator Drain Big Aid.
This is also one of the important
items of good plumbing that bears a
very close relation to the health of
the family. We are all familiar with
the nuisance of placing a pan under
the refrigerator to catch the dripping
water from the melted ice; how often
II is forgotten and runs over splitting
the contents on the floor. This can be
easily avoided by placing drip pan
or safe, as 1t is called, under the re-
frigerator and connecting this safe to
pipe having trap, and dlscharglng
this pipe into an open sink, which has
faucet connected to 1t and a vented
pipe. Do not by any means connect
this waste pipe to any Of the waste or
soil pipes of the other fixtures, so
there will be positively no opportunity
for any Odors or gases from the soil
lines going back into the Ice box. This
is very important. and does not at all
times receive the care and attention

Neutral countries want peace as well
as war countries. The high cost Of liv-
ing has hit the neutrals harder In this
particular than 1t has the war cOun-
tries with perhaps the exception OF
Austria. In Holland, Sweden. Norway
and Denmark the people are paying
dearly for the war and If famine does
not come upon them they will be for
tunate. The cost Of living is less In
England and France than in this coun'
try, and the cost here is less than In
the neutral countries.
