HUGE METEOR SEEN AT C0RD0YA PROBABLY BIG AS A CITY BLOCK
Darts Westward Toward Setting Sun, Splitting Fire
 Trailing Clouds of Glory

some world expiring on the hearth stone of infinite space"
 A meteor of the same kind, ac- cording to scientific descriptions, fell about five years ago into Lake Superior, deranging all the electrical services in a section of several hun dred square miles. It's size was es- timated to have been as large as the Woolworth building in New York skyscraper about as big as city block.
 Meteors of such size, as rule, never get close to the earth, because the intense heat, caused by friction, explodes them into star-dust, which then falls upon the earth Hike the gentle dews from heaven"
 After observing the. great meteor last evening, a prominent Cordovan turned the sublime into the riducious by relating a little story. "The city council in Jackson, Mich, was dis cussing the project of obtaining meteor for their municipal park" he said, "when one of the grave and dig nified city Dads arose and declared that he would vote for TWO, that one meteor would die after awhile. whereas with two the species might he reproduced and the park kept stocked besides. baby meteors might be sold to other park boards at profit an held save the taxpay- CTS money" .,
The Cordova daily times., 1922-03-23

While the sun was setting last evening, at 7:30 o'clock, many Cor dovans who were watching the awe inspiring spectacle were startled by the sudden appearance in the sky directly overhead, of a huge meteor which darted westward toward the setting sun, splitting" fire like a volcano, with trailing clouds of glory" in it's wake.
 Across the sky was visible the long trail of smoke. The meteor dashed through some heavy cloud banks near the earth, speeding on and falling somewhere, doubtless in the ocean.
 The phenomenon lasted for about five minutes. All beholders expect ed momentarily to hear an earth-Jar from the impact of the celestial vis- itor and to see vast clouds of steam arise if it should strike the ocean. The landing place apparently was Hinchinbrook Island, but in reality perhaps it was far away.
 It was the largest meteor ever seen in this section, where ordinary meteorological phenomena attract lit- t1e astonishment. Observers of a scientific turn of mind. familiar somewhat with astronomy, declare this one probably was large as city block, most likely fragment from some whirling planet, perhaps from

WASHINGTON, March 23.-On the basis of the reported collections of the income and excess profits taxes including the March 15 installment there is shortage of $200,000,O0O in the estimated revenues from these sources alone, the Treasury officials declared today.
 They explained that the shortage was due entirely to last years busi- ness depression. It is expected to re- tard the Treasury program of reduc- ing continually the public debt, as the appropriations must be met by further government borrowings.
