To View Wonder

|
SAN DIEGO, Cal, The total
eclipse of the sun by the moon was
observed by thousands around San
Diego Monday.
Mists cleared as the giant shadow
travelling twenty-five miles minute
blanketed the city.
AS the moon encroached upon the
suns rim, there was a turning down"
of the suns light.
Scientists twisted thumb screws and
made final adjustments of costly ms
truments.
Airplanes laden with scientists took
off for the darkened heavens.
Sudden cool gusts of wind, released
from the command of the solar ener-
gy, swept in from the sea as darkness
descended.
Chickens, puzzled by the abrupt night
took to their roosts.
Animals in the zoo paced their Gag
es nervously.
At 1925 p. m. only small cres-
cent of the sun showed
The moon covered all but the low
er left hand segment.
High above the fog covered sky the
hum of airplane motors was heard.
Seventeen planes, headed by Lieuten-
ant John A. MacReady, were swapping
pictures.
At 1890 the fog appeared again.
Traffic was at standstill. Automo-
biles halted at the curb and street cars
and other vehicles were motionless.
Thousands fastened to the back
country in the hope of finding bright
sunshine.
They were disappointed in their eff
forts however for practically the same
weather conditions obtained as in the
city--a haze that partly obscured the
phenomena.

in regard to the great possibility to
be derived from the establishment of
a poultry industry in this section.

COMMEMORATE RECORD

Most of us can in some degree
Imagine the evil forces at work to
make enforcement of prohibition in
effective. Most have read of the
bribery of dry agents, of iaXity
among officials, of the magnitude of
the thankless task which is theirs
and of the almost insurmountable OBJ
stacles which they are daily expected
to overcome.
The report of Federal Prohibition
Director May, supplemented as it is
by proof, warrants the hearty COM
mendation of the public and should
. receive every possible support from
the local authorities. Its activities
i, in the ways Of fines have been self
sustaining. 1t has kept its skirts re-
markedly clean. The people of
Maine learn with pride of the chal-
lenge of Director May for comparison
with any like force in the United
States, They should note the evident
fact that the force is altogetheroin-
adequate to cope with the evil. So
long. at least, as the force can make
itself self-sustaining, as has been
done under Director Mays SUPER
vision what good reason can there be
for not making it adequate?
