ECLIPSE OF THE MOON
 NEXT THURSDAY NIGHT

The western hemisphere will be able to view a total eclipse of the moon, if it can keep awake long enough on the night of April 21-22. The earth will then get in- to the path of the light that travels from that dead planet will not be able to bor- row illumination from the sun.
 The eclipse begins at 1157 D. m. eastern standard time on April 21 when the moon enters the penumbra or outer shadow of the earth. The ordinary ob- server will hardly be able to tell that the moons light has faded slightly. As the moon hears the real inner earth,s shadow or numbra, it's edge will darken and al 103 a. m the moon will begin to be gradually swallowed by the shadow.
 The first portion of the moon to be eclipsed will be completely hidden, but as more and more enters the shadow, the part of the moon immersed in the shadow may become visible by reddish coppery light that is caused by the sun being re- atmosphere The total eclipse will begin at 2.23 a. m. and until 3.05 a. m. the moon will remain completely covered by the shadow. At 4.26 a. m the moon will have crept entirely cut of the unlbra and at 4.32 it will even be free from the ! outer shadow.
 During the 42 minutes of total eclipse the moon may either disappear from view so completely that in it's stead there l will be an absolutely empty space devoid of all stars like a hole or tunnel in the sky, or it may be easily seen shining

PLOTS SIX CONGRESSIONAL
 DISTRICTS FOR STATE


 Chairman NJ. W. Potter of the legisla- tive committee on congressional and sem atorial districts has announced that the Bowers plan for rearranging the state into six congressional. districts has been assigned for hearing Tue lay, April 2e, along with bill to equalize the senato- rial districts of the state.
 The fact that the bill increasing the membership of the national house of rep resentatives has yet to pass the senate need not delay the legislative committee, Chairman Potter said, because Connecti- cut Is entitled to another congressInan on the strength of her increased population regardless of the disposition of the bin in congress.
 The following is the br1 prepared by senator Bowers for submission to the committee. covering some relatively minor changes made in the plan since 1t was originally worked out. including the switching of Orange from the Fourth to tne Third district and counterbalancins alterations:
 Section 5s2 of the general statutes fl amended to read as follows: For the pur- pose or representation in the congress oi the United States there shall be elected m the manner provided by law six repre- sentatives, who shall be voted for by thu electors of and chosen respectively iron eacn or the following districts: Districi NO. to consist of the towns of Bloom held' Canton, East Granby, East Hart lord, East Windsor.

Either the suns rays will not penetrate or they will be allowed free passage and will be bent by refraction and tinted with sun rise and sunset colors by selective ab- sorption.
 This will be the last total lunar eclipse visible in the United States for about six years, according to Prof. W. s. Ei- chelberger, of the naval observatory, who has charge of the computing of the Nau- tical Almanac There will be about 20 such eclipses in the next fifty years" he said in denying published etaterneuts that the coming eclipse will be the last until fifty years hence.
 All who can see the moon above their horizon at the time will be able to see the shadowing of the moon. From far in the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic in both North and South America the phe- nomenon will be visible.

 We hope. therefore, that ycu will be interested enough in this matter to attend this forum meeting. which will commence at 7.45 D. m sharp.
 Taxation
 On the same evening at s.15 p. m.. the forum meeting will discuss our equitable taxation problem. Mir. William H. Bledgett, tax commissioner of Connec- ticut, has promised to be present and ad- dress the members on taxation from the states point of view. If it is possible. MT. A. M Simons, chairman of the board of assessors of Hartford, Connecticut. will address the members on the method of reassessment recently made in Hart ford and it's consequences. According to the report of the tax commissioner. re- gently issued, Norwich has not had a revaluation since 1880. Certainly con- ditions have changed since that time and. consequently, it is high time to consider the matter and take action upon it at the next regular town meeting in Octob- er With tax rate of about 40 mills, one of the highest, if not the highest tax rates in the state, and an extremely low valuation. as indicated by our grand list of little over $1s,ooo,o ,ooo, this matter calls for our serious consideration On October 1. 1920, Hartford increas- ed the valuation from $153,ooo,0oo to s26s 600, ,ooo, and lowered the tax rate from 2S 3-4 mills to 20 1-2 mills, not withstanding this important fact, that nearly one million dollars was added to the budget of the City of Hartford that year. That there Is a widespread demand for the investigation of our tax rate fl without question, fnasmuch as this wal the first plank in the program of worh submitted by the membership after thu reorganization last October.
 | As members of the Norwich chamber | of commerce maintaining your member, ship in this organization because you be lieve in the progresstveness of our com munity, you are urged to give this mat ter your serious consideration during th, next few months, in order that this ques tion can be intelligently understood ant proper action taken at the next tow meeting in October.
 This is your chamber of commerce This is your community. The director and the committee in charge of this tax ation question are devoting much of thei time and effort to the solution of thi vexatious question.
