SOLAR ANDLUNAR
ECL|PSES|N 1920
Two of Each Will Occur in
Year; Manner of Forecast
inq Phenomena Described.

During the incoming year 1920 the
phenomena of four eclipses. two solar
and two lunar. will occur.
There will be total eclipse of the
moon May ., visible at Washington,
the beginning visible generally in
Europe. western Asia, Africa on the
Indian ocean. in eastern North Amer
lea and South America; the ending
visible generally in western Europe,
western Africa, the Atlantic ocean,
North America. except the extreme
northwestern portion of South Amer
lea. and the eastern portion of the
Pacific ocean. According to aStro-
nomical calculation, the moon enters
the penumbra. which is partial
shadow on the exterior of the perfect
shadow of an eclipse. May at SAG
PM; total eclipse begins at SIS p.m.
middle of eclipse. S:51 pm. Total
eclipse ends at 9:27 pm Washington
mean time.
the sun May II. invisible in this lati-
tude, visible in Australia and the In
dian ocean, and invisible in the north
ern section of the Indian ocean.
Total Eclipse OF Moon October 1927.
There will be total eclipse of the
moon October 1921, invisible at
Washington. The beginning of the
visibility of this autumn lunar eclipse
will commence in western North
America, the Pacific ocean, Australia
Asia and the eastern portion of the
Indian ocean. The ending will be Wis
ible generally in the western part of
the Pacific, Asia, Australia, the Indian
ocean, eastern Africa and Europe
The last eclipse of the year 1920. a
,-1
at Washington, will occur on Novem-
Der 10, just after our presidential
election. This eclipse of the sun will
be visible in northern Africa, western
Europe. Atlantic ocean and eastern
North America.
EcIipses G,5S5 Days Apart.
The question may be asked: How
are these eclipses foretold? Astrono-
mers have been carefully observing
the motion OF the sun and moon for
ages and have learned from these OBJ
servations, not only how the moon
moves q present, but also how it will
move for ages to come. and have
learned one leading principle about
eclipses-that is, those occurring this
year have no obvious relation to the
eclipses occurring last year or to
those that will occur next year. Yet,
an extended view of the sequence of
these phenomena shows a very def
mite principle IN the physics of the
heavens, for if we observe all the
eclipses in a period of eighteen or
nineteen years, then we can predict
to at least an approximate truth all
the future eclipses for all the COM
ing years.
1t is only necessary to recollect that
in 65S5 Ia days after one eclipse a
nearly similar eclipse follows. There
was an eclipse of the moon Deem
Der 5, 1881. If we count back 6,5S5
days from that date-that is, eighteen
years and eleven days-we come to
November "a. 1868, when a similar
eclipse of the moon took place. 1t
is this rule which enables the as
tronomer to predict the recurrence of
this phenomenon; and as long as the
sun and moon revolve in their present
orbits under the fixed laws of gravi-
tation this phenomenon can be pre-
dicted.

EXPORTERS OF LIQUOR
MUST HURRY SHIPMENTS

Liquor for export from the United
States must be well on it's way from

concrete case of what military

renorted to the War Department by
a government appeal agent of local
hoard. In the days of the selective
draft in 1917 young man appeared
hafore the agent and claimed exemp-

his life would be devoted to avenging

Rad been of untold value to him; that
he wanted to withdraw the threats
he had made and to express his sin
cere gratitude to the agent for having
compelled him to enter the service.
He explained that he had gained
twenty-eight pounds in weight and
that he had been made a sergeant and
detailed as an Army field clerk at $135
a month. In his report the agent said
his visitor was "a well set-up, clean
cut. sturdy commissioned officer
with red cheeks and animated ex-
preston, for whose regeneration of
body and soul the United States Army

Must Eliminate "WOrk Stacker"

Eliminating the work Stacker is
the new job which the American
Legion has taken upon itself. acting
in conjunction with the War Depart
ment's chain of employment bureaus
throughout the country. That type
of ex-service man. while not nu-
merouS, is occasionally a serious det-
riment to the work of placing ex
soldiers and ex-sailors in satisfactory
jobs. Their attitude of shiftlessness
after getting the place causes dis
satisfaction among employers who are
really trying to help. and gives a
black eye to other service men who
still need work.

To-day the American Legion has
become. an aggressive factor in get
ting jobs for our fighting men. They
are extending the scope of their work
SO very rapidly that now this infiu-
ence is felt in every state in the
Union. While the original plan was
for the members to cooperate in en-
ployment work, in many commune
ties it has been necessary for them
to take over the entire burden. be-
cause of the withdrawal of other
agencies from the field. In every
greatest success. and eventually the
legion will be the great standby of
the soldier who needs assistance of
any kind.
"If any one still has any doubt in
his mind as to the present attitude
of the mass of discharged soldiers, I
would advise him to go to any post
meeting of the American Legion and
say something against the. govern
ment. advocating bolshevism. anarchy

that he is "honored by having the

deserts his instruments and rescues
Polly in scene of mirth-provoking

Smiling Star At Dixie In New Offer
ing, "The Man From Painted
Post"

A special treat is in store for the
many admirers Of Douglas Fairbanks
in his newest Aircraft Picture, "The
Man From Painted Post" coming to
the Dixie next Monday.
Bucking bronchos, crack riding,
trick-roping and bulldogging steers
are among the interesting features
offered by this comedy drama of the
true west. Participating in these
scenes are the champions of the
world in their respective accomplish
ments, including Sam Brownwell,
champion bucking broncho rider; John
Judd, fancy rope artist; Tommy
Grimes, H. A. Strickland, and other
winners at the last Rodeo competition
held in Cheyenne, Wyoming. 1t was
at this meet that Douglas Fairbanks
signed up the champions for 1.-THE
Man From Painted Post and each
individual gives good account OF
himself in this picture.
"The Man From Painted Post is
unlike any other previous Fairbanks
vehicle in that it affords him an OPP
portunity to display actual histrionic
talent in addition to his own typical
style of acting. In contrast 10 the
many humorous situations Of the
Fairbanks variety are scenes OF deep
dramatic interest in which the versa
tile Douglas proves his ability as an
actor. Supporting the star is an ex-
cellent cast, including Eileen Percy,
Frank Campeau, Frank Clark, Her
bert Standing, William Lowry, Rhea
Haynes, Charles Stevens and Monty

BILL HART AGAIN
APPEARS AT DIXIE

1t takes a pretty good man to
stand up in front of a brace of six
shooters and not finch. In "The
Money Corral" new Aircraft pic
ture starring VIM. S. Hart, which will
be seen at the Dixie next Tuesday,
this is proved when the star encoun-
tiers some underworld crooks in Chi
cago and best them at their own
game. He also saves trust COM
pany by preventing the theft of i'm
portant proxies. The opening scene
is of a great rodeo in the frontier
town of F'raley Point, Montana. There
takes place the wild riding and shoot
ing and all the sports of the cow
country.
A charming love story runs thru
the picture which was written by Mr..
Hart and Lambert Hillyer, who also
directed the production.
Jane Novak is leading woman, Her
.schel Mayall is the heavy; Winter
Hall, Rhea Mitchell and Patricia Pal
mer are among the other players who
will be seen in the picture.
1t is sad that for sheer thrill and
the qualities of human interest, the
triumph of right over evil, the per-
lection Of scenic investiture, this
picture is one of the most notable ev-
err offered starring William S. Hart.
