AS a result eclipses occur at different time each year, but al ways at intervals of six months. There are usually two lunar eclipses a year and there may be three under certain conditions. There are years when no lunar eclipses occur but there must be at least two solar eclipses each year, and there may be as many as five.
 The greatest number of eclipses that can occur in a single year is sev- en, five of the sun and two of the moon. All solar eclipses are not to- tal

PLANS MADE FOR
ANOTHER PAVED
ROUTE To ENSLEY
Old Church Building Torn
Down To Make Way For
Business Property
ENSLEY BUREAU |
THE AGE-HERALD :
El AI


A committee from the Ensley real
estate board is engaged in working
out the rights of way and other de-
tails in connection with the unfin-
ished portion of the road leading
out Eighth avenue to Birmingham.
1t is stated that the unpaved por-
ton, which row consists of only a
meager part of the highways will be
in shape to handle very soon and
that the paving will be laid during
the next few days.
This road will give a paved high
way from Birmingham to Ensley and
Fairfield of incalculable value and
will relieve Third avenue of sub
stantial portion of the traffic routed
over that road at this time. 1t is
stated that officials of the Tennessee
company that have been deeply in
terested in seeing the paving done,
have expressed the opinion that
within a short time even the two
highways will be insufficient for the
amount of traffic that will be devel-
oped, and that not only is it impera-
tive that the Eighth avenue road be
secured but that it is just as neces-
sary that the county realize the
necessity for other highways and get
into position to provide them. The
Ensley real estate board has been
interested in the road for some
months and has performed valuable
service in getting rights of way up
TO this time and will continue its
work, according to statement of
J. j. Walker. president, until the
Eighth avenue tangle is Strengthened
out, thus insuring at least one addi-
tional highway to Ensley from Biz
mingham. Such a road will serve
Pratt City in that it Will run over
to Thomas from Owenton and into
Pratt City by that route. The road
will be a connecting link with not
only Pratt City and Ensley but will
complete the network of paved
streets from Docena, Edgewater.
