The bright planets Jupiter and Sat
urn, which have been objects of interest
in the evening sky fer many months
are now too close to the sun to be seen.
The sun passes Saturn September Il
and Jupiter the next day. These plan
cts will then be morning stars for about
six months. On September IA Jupiter
passes Saturn, or is in conjunction with
It as astronomers call it. This con-
junction has been ascrbed as the cause
of the unusually high temperatures
prevailing this year. / have seen no
good reason for accepting this as
cause. Such a conjunction occurs at
intervals of about 90 years. There are
no periods in temperature changes of
this length. For unknown reasons the
temperatures of different years vary to
a. considerable extent with a tendency
toward cycles. The period which seems
to be most marked is one of 35 years.
The range however, is not great. No
reason for this period is known. AS
temperature changes on the earth as
a whole are primarily due to changes
Pueblo chieftain., 1921-09-02

on the sun there have been many at
tempts to find the reasons for the
changes in the suns condition. In par
ticular attempts have been made to
connect temperature changes with sun
spots. The temperatures arc slightly
higher at sunspot minimum and 1t is
now the time of sunspot minimum. As
the period OF the sunspots Is nearly the
same as the period of Jupiter's revolu-
ton about tho sun attempts have hecn
made to associate the two. Saturn
also and other plants have been sus-
pectcd OF having an influence. The sub
feet is still under investigation.
None of tho brighter planets are now
visible in tho carly evening. Uranus
is in Aausrius. but not visible to the
naked eye. Venus ia brilliant as
morning star. on September IL II
makes a close approach to the planet
Neptune. At I o'clock In tho morning
OF that day the two planets arc
closest. five minutes apart. An Scp

exist principally in the middle lau-
tudes. At the equator. for instance,
the sun rises at nearly the same time
each day. varying only from 6.1l A m.
in February to $40 in November. There
is no reason for time in one part of
the year different from that in use
in the other parts. In high latitudes
where there is a great variation in the
time of sunrise thruout the year there
is also little need OF daylight saeins

on this day the sun rises at go \, M

II minutes longer than tho night. This
lensthening Of tho dsy at the expense
of tho night comes from tho fact that
the sun is counted as rising whom It's

ton due to earths atmosphere raises

II will be noted that the sun does not

DAYLIGHT SAVING
The purpose Of the daylight saving
scheme is that we should sleep during
the hours of darkness and reserve the
daylight for our activities. During the
winter when the days are short we
ordinarily do this, but during the sum-
mer we do not. From May to August
8. for instance, the sun rose earlier
than 5 o'clock. Those sleeping as late
as o'clock wasted the daylight and
the morning twilight too. The twi-
light, however. is less important not
only because the light is less intense
but also because some of the twilight
time must be used to secure eight
hours Of sleep,

In order to create interest in
sheep raising in Mercer county, T..
B. Scott OF Alexis, president Of the
Sheep Mems association Of Mercer
county, and P. S. Richey, Mercer
county farm advisor, have arranged
for a meeting of the Mercer wool
growers to be held at the Aledo

be two sessions, one in the morning
and one in the afternoon, and q
lamb luncheon and coffee held at

Professor C. w. Coffey, head of
the animal husbandry division of
the University of Illinois, who is a
sheep specialist, will address the
gathering. Professor Coffey has
visited Mercer county before, hav-
ing been here in 1918, when he
gave an address and sheep judging
demonstration in Central park. H.
H. Heller, assistant secretary OF
the wool growers association, is
also expected to be present at the

IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMMENDED
AT FIRE MEET

II recommendations adopted last
evening by the city council are ap-
proved, Moline will soon have fire
lieutenants as well as captains, a
chief and assistant chief.
The purpose Of the new Office is
to establish an executive officer,
who will assume charge of the va
rious outlying stations when the
captain is off duty. 1t is probable
that the ieutenants will be named
from the present firemen and will
receive a small increase in salary.
Another recommendation adopted
by the council is the blowing of the
waterworks whist, whenever a
second alarm is required for a fire.
This whistle would serve as a sum
mons to firemen who are off duty.
No agreement has been reached
on new rule for days of in the DO
lice department. The policemen re-
ceive only one day off in 10 at pres
ent, but 1t is thought probable that
this rule will be changed and al
low police officers one day off in
eight or ten.
The board Of police and fire COM
missioners is expected to approve
in a general way at least the rec
concentrations Of the council.

Il was announced today that
Harry F. Burch, craftsman employ
ed by the Moline Heat, who was the
victim Of q peculiar accident while
bowling, will be confined to his
bed at the Lutheran hospital for 1t
least six weeks.
Bruch's lower spine is broken.
Drs. C. C. Sloan and r. L. Otis are
the attending physicians. Although
It may not take longer than six
weeks for the spine to return to
normal condition. Burch may have
nervous trouble for some time after
that.
Burch was preparing to roll the
ball down the alley, and as he was
swinging it he met with some in
reference. 1t is not clear just
what happened, but it is thought
that the bowler turned to step out
OF the way of some one and in do
ing this wrenched his spine.
Physicians declare it is one Of
the most unusual accidents which
ever occurred in Moline. It Is the
first accident of the kind to hap
pen on Moline bowling alleys.
Mr.. Burch is rated as an expert
bowler. He has been a member of

Der Of years and has participated in

REMOVE BOW FROM
HAND KEITHSBURG
WOMAN YESTERDAY

An operation performed yester-
day by DR.. A. C. Sells Of AledO re-
moved the bow Of a pair Of glasses
from the left hand of Mrs. Charles
Garner Of Keithsburg. Mrs. Gar
ner ran the gold bow from pair
of glasses which she carried into
her left hand when she fell on a
defective sidewalk at Keithsburg
several weeks ago. The accident
also dislocated the left wrist and
broke two fingers. The bow Of the
glasses became imbedded in her
hand, piercing the middle finger
from the tips to the muscles Of the
palm. Until an X-ray Of the hand
was taken it was not known that
the bow was imbedded in the palm.
Mrs. Garner is so years of age and
is the mother Of 13 children. Since
the removal Of the bow it is ex-
pected that the hand will heal rap
