Odd Fellows hall. over one hun
dred ladies were present. many OF
them being out OF town guests from
Bull, Twin Falls and Hazelton.
The hall was artistically decorated
with fall flowers and streamers OF
pink and lavender. Bridge. pinochle
and Nah Jong was played during the
afternoon. One OF the most pleas
ant features OF the afternoon was the
short musical program given By four
OF the high school girls. While the
tables were being prepared for re-
freshments. Miss Elizabeth Buckley
gave a violin solo, she was accom-
panied by Miss Magdalene Schaefer.
Following this were two solos by
Miss Marie Brady and a duet by Miss
Edgarina Chandler and Marie Brady.
Edgarina Chandler then sng two

ABOUT RUGS

q OF the usual rug-of fine domestic
or Oriental weave-but the In
- clined-to-the-unusual, incidental
rug, holds the interest of the home
keeper. There is always a space, or
it may be a whole room. that is need
ing a rug. or rugs.
The newest rugs vary widely In tex
ture. color and design-ranging from
hber rugs, very light In weight. to
deep pile rugs that are extraordinarily
thick. There is a distinct reversion
to the type of rug we call Colonial"
reminiscent of the New England of
an earlier day, only strangely enough,
many of these rugs are made in Eng
land, Spain and Belgium. Some of the
rugs that come to us from Spain are
very thick, and heavy. and the pile is
sheared in patterns with sharp scis-
sors, SO that they have the general APP
p~earance OF a Colonial hooked rug.
The hooked rug is very popular,
though authentic rugs OF this type are
becoming daily more scarce. One
pays a high price for an original, for
the average New Englander holds
~tenaeiously to an heirloom, so that
the collector spends much time
searching, and having found pays an
exorbitant price, before 1t is possible
for him to acquire the treasured bit
of floor covering.
Fiber and linen rugs, made in imi-
tation of Oriental rugs are popular,

An eclipse OF the sun IL the most

1t is, quite naturally, most alarming.
In India and parts of China a notion

are performed to drive him away.
An Awe-Inspiring Phenomenon
During the observation a weird and

and a strange chill falls over the
land. Describing a solar eclipse. Mabel
L. Todd, the astronomer. writes: "a
sense of uneasiness seems gradually to
steal over all life. Cows and horses
feed intermittently. bird songs dimin-
ish. and grasshoppers fall quiet. A
wan. unnatural light. different. from
twilight. falls upon the landscape.
Darker and darker 1t grows. Then,
with frightful velocity, the shadow of
the moon is seen approaching-a
tangible darkness like a wall. swift
as imagination. silent as doom. Strong
must be the nerves not to CULVER as
this blue-black shadow rushes upon
, the spectator with incredible speed.
A death-like trance SEXES upon every
thing earthly. Then out of the dark
ness flashes the glory of the incom-
parable s~ilvery, soft light,
with radiant steamers stretching mill
lions of miles into space.A while rosy
flames skirt the black rim of the
moon.
"It has become c~uriously cold. Sud-
denly an arrow of sunlight strikes the
landscape, and earth comes to life
again, while corona and solar flames
melt into the returning brilliance, and
perhaps the receding lunar shadow
is glimpsed as 1t flies away with the
tremendous speed of Its approach"

Inasmuch as "totality"|. e.. the time
during which the moon entirely GOV

ute and a half, not a second is to be
wasted. Utmost advantage must be
taken of that brief period to make
observations for which an equally fav-
orable opportunity may not occur for
a number of years.
The first really successful attempt
to photograph a solar eclipse was
made in 1900, when. at Norfolk, Va

Calculating Eclipses
To the everyday citizen nothing
seems more remarkable than that 1t
should be possible for astronomers
to determine long in advance exactly
when an eclipse will occur, and to
mark out the path which the shadow
of the moon will follow. Nevertheless,
the feat Ia by no. means new. AS far
back as the seventh century B. c..
scientists of Babylon knew how to
predict eclipses with accuracy. They
were the most expert star-gazers of
antiquity, and to them Is attributed
the discovery of the Saros.

One prominent fact about the vast

is that its towers and all parts of 1t

most wonderful cathedrals, Notre
Dame, Strasbourg, and countless 9TH
ers are unfinished. The proportions
of the church are SO perfect that n
does not realize how vast 1t Is. Its
length equals the height of Its towers,
more than five hundred feet: 1t width
accords with the height of the gables
in the transepts. 1t took nearly "
hundred years to build and was from
first to last a labor Of love. Thou

was burned inc it was then that the
present building was begun. The
choir was completed and consecrated
in 1922. Services were held In this.
Work was suspended during the Ref
ormation, and 1t seemed rs If the
lovely design would never be com-
pleted. Finally a veritable enthusiasm
arose and men marvelled at the beau
ty of the half-finished work. Money
was raised all through Germany and
some came wen from other lands
and the work was continued. 1t was

earth and the sun. thereby shutting
off the later from view. the lunar
orb necessarily throws upon the earth
a gigantic shadow. This shadow is
about $50 miles wide, and It travels
across the surface of our planet at a
speed OF 1000 miles an hour. In order
to view a solar eclipse to advantage,
an observer should stand not far from
the middle of the shadow path. The
Mount Wilson observatory (near Pasa-
dena) will not be in the middle OF the
path. but toward one edge of 1t, so
that the eclipse as seen from thence
will lack 2h per cent of "totality."
Accordingly. an observing station
will be established at Point Iona,
near San Diego. which is right In the
middle of the track the moons shadow
will follow. Thither the requisite in

Tor the most important observations,
which will include photographs of the

stars near the sun; also measurements
OF the heat radiated by the corona.
The object of photographing the
stars In the nea ~neighborhood of the
sun is to test the Einstein theory of
the bending OF star rays that pass
near the edge OF the solar disk. This
is a matter which has Importantly to
do with the doctrine OF "relatlvity"-
to be understood by ordinary folks,
but modifying hitherto-accepted ideas
In regard TO star distances and the
infinity OF space.
Mystery OF The Corona
AS regards the corona, nothing very
definite about 1t is positively known.
1t can be seen only on occasions of
total solar eclipse. its whitish, hlmy
network extending many millions of
miles out into space from the edge
of the sun. Formerly it was thought
to be an electrical phenomenon of
some sort. One theory entertained at
the present time Is that 1t is a vast
cloud of volcanic dust-that is to say
ashes-thrown out by the great lum-

of certain garments-espeoialy mems
shirts-use pearl buttons in great
quantities. and 1t has bean found that
they have no small amount to do with
the sale of the garments. so 1t seemed
feasible to improve the quality of the
output in every way possible.
When buttons were first manufac-
tured, they were all made with four
holes, but drilling SO many holes
weakened the center of the button
and caused it to split easily, so now
nearly all of the buttons have two
holes and have the added advantage
of requiring less thread to hold them.
Over seventeen million gross of pearl
buttons were manufactured in the
United States in 1891. according to the
Bureau of Commerce.

Measuring Giant Stars

Taking advantage of the obscura-
ton OF the sun, attempts will be made
to obtain measurements OF the sizes
of some of the more important stars.
For this purpose the Mount Wilson
observatory has built an "interferom-
eter" under the direction of Prof. A.
w. Nicholson, of the University of
Chicago, the inventor of the instru-
ment. It has a framework of struc-
tural steel, eighteen feet long and

1t was by means OF the interferom-
eter that Prof. Nicholson was able
recently to ascertain the size of the
giant star Betelguese. which has a
diameter of LAT. 200. 900 miles. whereas
that of our wi sur is only $4,000
miles. Our solar luminary, however,
Is a dwarf star; and astronomers say
that there are in the heavens at least
a few suns considerably bigger than
Betelguese.
