ECLIPSE OF MOON
Greenwood Index was Eght-Some-
thing Was Wrong.

"y~O
The Greenwood Index Of Monday
said that something was wrong with
the moon Sunday night. It also said
that something wrong" was prob
ably an eclipse. The New York
Times of Sunday warned its readers
to look out for the eclipse, saying
"There will ibe partial eclipse OF
the moon tonight. The moon will rise
at 5:56 p. m. with a shadow Of the
earth already upon it and which will
not totally pass away until 7:34 p. m,
Of unusual interest is the fact that
the rising of the moon in partial
eclipse follows Immediately the set
ting of the sun, giving the spectator
practical demonstration of the
cause of the phenomenon.
"The coming of the eclipse direct
ly, after the reported discovery Of
vegetation on the moon has caused
speculation as to the effect of the
earth's shadow on growing crops
there. Presumably, the eclipse pro-
duces a cold wave which blights
plant life, if the changing colors OBJ
served by Professor W. d. Pickering
in the moon craters do indicate plant
life.
"The moon has fourteen days Of
sunshine followed by fourteen days
of darkness. During the dark period

STRIKE FUND SMALL
SAYS HIGH OFFICER
TWO MILLION DOLLARS lNSUF-
FICIENT TO KEEP MEN OUT
OF WORK FOR VERY LONG
THOUSANDS SAID TO BE AL
READY IDLE.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE railroad
brotherhoods have a strike fund of
s2,OOO,0OO which is insufficient for. a
general strike of any length, John
Grunau, president of the United AS
sociation of Railway Employees of
North America and leader of the ur-
authorized Switchmen's strike of last
year, declared today.
Grunau has issued a circular to the
10000 members of his organization
outlining the associations position in
event of a strike, but declaring thot
he does not believe there will be a
walkout.
He pointed out that the brother
hood leaders have weakened their
own ranks by circulating reports that
the members of his organization will
step in as strike-breakers in revenge
for the efforts of the old organization
to break the Grunau strike in April,
1920. Grunau denied any such inten-
ton.
"There are thousands of our mem'
bers walking the streets today while
their families suffer-" the circular
says.
"Why? Because when we were on
strike in 1920 for 165 days the re-
cognized brotherhood leaders esta-
blished strike breaking and scab
herding agencies in all terminals af-
fected by our movement, causing our
defeat"
The circular concluded, with the
ironical statement:
"The so-called outlaws will not ex,
pei any of their members for par
ticipating in strike, whether order,
ed by their leaders, or by another
organization. Neither will they re-
woke the charter of any local that
goes ON record to participate in q
strike and most positively this asso,
citation will not establish strike
breaking or scab herding agencies as
was done by the famous brotherhoods
while the members of our associa-
ton were on vacation last year."
Grunau said his union has ZIG
locals in the United States and Cana
da. Under the name of the Chicago
yardmen's association he called a
strike in 1920 that for a time threat
ened to paralyze the nations trans
portation facilities.
Two other labor organizations out
side the sixteen standard bodies, an
nounced that no strike votes had
been taken. o. J. Luhrsen. president
of the American Train Dispatchers'
Association, which claims a member
ship of SO per cent of the country's
train dispatchers, said his organiza-
ton was going to "keep its skirts
dear"

BIG DERBY EVENT | TO FEATURE AUTO RACES THIS WEEK
Armistice Motor Derby Will Be Biggest Race Held
 Here In Years

The Armistice Motor Derby, a 25- mile continuation race. promises to be the feature event of the auto races at the state fair grounds next Fri day and Saturday
 Entries as high as 14 will be ae- cepted for this event. which gives indication of having the largest field of starters and the greatest mileage distance of any auto race staged in Birmingham in recent years.
 The first half. or first portion of the race, will be run on Armistice r'ay, Friday November II. and the final les on Saturday. Each days race will count as a minor race. but the big money event will be the full 25-mi1e contest.
 Purses. lap prizes and awards to total S2,00o will be given in this one event. To the driver leading at the end of the first, second, third fourth, fifth and tenth laps special lap prizes wtll be given on each day.
 Large Field Expected
 While it Is not deemed advisa Sla to start as many as a dozen speed de- mons in the race, this will be left to the rules and classification commit tee. The promoters promise that the field will be the largest to face the flag in several years.
 With. the style show and auto polo contest, there will be at least eight events daily. The suggestion of a. three-heat, fbur-cornered match challenge race is being entertained by the programme secretary. This will mean that eight different drivers will be in competition, four in et oh n he first hAa .-1 he n ners of the first and second places in the fina heat. By running the first two heats on Armistice Day and the final on Saturday. when the final section of the Armistice Motor Derby will be run, good Saturday card will be assured.
 The eight plausible entries for .his event would be Costa, Sarles, Deyer- eaux, Seip, Robinson, Gray. Snowden and Rountree.
 Snowden Enters
 Snowden, the Birmingham racer. is the latest announced entry to the auto races. He will be welcomed by local fans on the state fair track.
 Already a classy array of race cars have arrived in the city. in most in- stances the drivers and their mechan- ics are giving their speed boats a thorough working over in order to make a showing in the events here, which will probably be the last big race of the season
 Quite few prominent drivers who have not yet entered are in the city, and 1t is thought they are watching the lay of things before paying down their entry fee.
 Premocars and 10 are being groomed at the Presto nfactory; Es- sex and Essex are at the Pryor Motor Car company. on Twenty first street, on Motor Row. Essex Is a local car and has been entered in the races. but Manager Pryor has not ;tn- nounced who will drive the car.

REINDEER MEAT
SOON TO APPEAR
ON CAFE MENUS

Waiter. bring me a reindeer
steak"
Washington may soon give
this order in the dining rooms of
local hotels. as the result of de-
cision b Corporation Counsel Ste
phens that Alaskan reindeer meat
may be shipped into the District
without violating the city game
laws.
Incidentally. the corporation
counsel has become quite an ex-
pert on the history of the rein
deer since he was requested by
Maj. Harry L. Gessford, super
intendent of police. to determine
whether these fleet animals of the
northeast could be transported
into Washington.
The decision hinged on the ques
ton of whether Alaskan reindeer
is a domestic animal in the class
with cows and sheep, or whether
it is Il wild animal subject to the
game laws of the District After
thorough study, Mr. Stephens con-
cluded that the animal in question
is not and has not been wild
beast for centuries, but has been
domesticated for hundreds of
years in Norway and Siberia for
food and clothing. He found. fur
Their, that the reindeer was i'm
ported into Alaska by the govern
ment for domestic purposes.
E. w. Nelson of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, who brought
the question before the police de-
partment. stated in his letter that
he understood several cstrcasses
of reindeer are in transit from
Alaska to Washington for sale to
hotels, restaurants and clubs.
