Five Minutes, as Result of
0ccultation.

CHICAGO. January 13.-The man in
the moon early today played tag with
Venus and for nearly forty-five min
utes that bright star was invisible to
observers here,
At $50 o'clock Venus seemed to be
hanging by a thread to the eastern
tip Of the moon. A few minutes later
1t was entirely hidden. At 6:13
o'clock Venus reappeared on the dark
side of the moon, seemingly in added
luster.
The juxtaposition of the two bodies
as Venus scared above the moon after
the occulation, resembled the Turkish
crescent and star
While this phenomenon was said by
observers at Yerkes observatory mt
Lake Geneva, Wis, to be not univer-
sal, it rarely occurs that the paths
OF the moon and Venus croks in such
a manner as to cause a darkening of
Venus.
Within the course of a month. the
observers said, fifteen or twenty stars
viii be overrun by the moon. al
though this is not always visible at
night.
Pictures of Venus reappearing after
the occultation were taken at the OBJ

URGES EMERGENCY
BILL FOR SCHOOLS
Northeast Citizens Would
Have President Push Spe-
ciaI Program for District.

Requesting that the board of edu-
cation file IAN emergency school pro-
gram" and plead for it before the
President Harding to make a special
request to the bureau of budget that
it be allowed, the Northeast Wash
ington Citizens Association adopted
a resolution in which it deplored
the recent cut in the District school
appropriations, at a meeting at the
Masonic Temple, Sth and F. streets
northeast, last night.
The abolition of the board of chill
dren's guardians and the enlargement
of the Juvenile Court, in order that it
could take over the work of the
board, was urged in a resolution
adopted. Edward n. Parker read to
published in the Washington news
papers in regard to the board of chill
dren's guardians, and presented the
resolution. Miss Sadie Wilson, mem
Der of the association and northeast
agent for the Associated Charities,
objected to the resolution, declaring g
that the facts submitted by Mr. Park
er could in some cases be disputed or
explained.
The creation of a child welfare
board to administer the funds from
the proposed mothers pension bill
was also urged by the association.
Mr.. Parker. in his resolution. said
"the proposed mothers pension is TO
be paid by the state as matter OF
right to mothers who stay in their
homes and raise future citizens, and
not as a matter of charity" He pro-
tested the "doIing OUT of these pen
sions to the mothers through chari-
table agencies. In case of too great
an expense. in the establishment of 3
child welfare board the resolution
suggests that the Juvenile Court ad-
minister the pension fund and urges
that in no case should the board OF
children's guardians be allowed tC
administer it. The lighting of the
various viaducts, especially that on II
street was requested by the asso-
ciatin, which aiso protested the pres
ence of "loafers" in the tunnels.
Evan II. Tucker, president of the
association presided
