PHOTOGRAPH ECLIPSE WITH GIANT CAMERA
Sun To Be Pictured To Determine
 If There Is Motion in Corona

PITTSBURG, June 30.-(By AssocS ated Press. )-In the hope of determin ing whether there is motion within the corona during an eclipse of the sun, a party of American scientists, under the direction of Dr. John A. Miller of Swarthmore college, is pre- pairing to conduct a series of impor- high mountain in Central Mexico next September.
 A year or more has been required to complete the arrangements. and the actual working time of the scient- ists will be only 1S9 seconds, the du- ration of the eclipse. If the day should be cloudy, all tho labor and expense of preparation will have gone for naught.
 The largest photographic instru- ments ever made for solar observa- ton will be placed in position. They are now nearing completion here. and will be ready when the expedition leaves July 25.
 There are two cameras, in order that two pictures may be taken at the same time for checking purposes. The aperture of each is 6.5 inches, and the focal length Is Is feet. The impressions will be made on the finest plate glass, each plate being 1Sx1S inches, specially prepared for this work by experts. It is probable that not more than two photographs can be taken owing to the brief period when the face of the sun will be obscured A dozen or more plates will be taken along, however in or der that every emergency may De

CITY ADOPTS ZONES
Restrictions On Building LOcation'
 Now In Providence, R. I.


 Now In Providence, R. I.
 It is fortunate for the city that there was no delay in passing the zoning ordinance. Providence for years has needed restrictions cover ing such points as height, area and use of buildings; this has been ac- knowledged from the first by mem- bers of the city council; the debate of Monday night was on the method of appointing a board of review and not on the restrictions embodied in the ordinance. The procedure as to the appointments specified in the or dinance ought to insure the selection of competent and trustworthy men as members of the board of review; if it does not, the ordinance can be amended by the city cousil. This is detail which can be taken up at any time if there should be good reason for a change.
 The ordinance has been examined closely by hundreds of citizens whose property is affected. and as yet no opposition to the restrictions has developed The committee in charge had the benefit of expert knowledge on zoning, and 1t is evident from its map and the accompanying report that every part of Providence was in- districts This accounts for the gen eral approval of the plan. Now that the city has a specific scheme for the development of property, it is tho duty of every citizen to co-operats with the inspector In carrying out all the provisions in letter and in spirit Journal.

LETTER FROM BILL KAISER
Village Blacksmith fin Pennsylvania
 Recipient of Epistle

ALTOONA Pa., June 30.-(By As- socfated Pres.)-The former Kaiser of Germany, William Hohenzollern, in exile at Doorn. has hopes that his luck will improve soon because of a gift sent him by Charles Gorsuch, the village blacksmith at Martins burg, Blair county.
 For years Corsuch has forged tiny good luck horseshoes in his odd mo- ments. and sent them to notables in all parts of the world. After forging his most recent "charm," Gorsuch reviewed the international situation in an effort to find the notable who was In need of luck" He selected d the former kaiser and sent the shoe to Doorin.
 Baron von Coern, marshal of Will Hams household at Doorn, accepting the luck charm for his master, sent this message to Gorsuch:
 His majesty. the kaiser and king, has very gladly accepted the good luck horseshoe you sent and grate- fully thanks you for same" The re- ply was accompanied by an auto graphed photograph of the former emperor,

"DON" NOTHING TO THEM
Inhabitants Of Town Immortalized B. Ccrvantes Would Change Its Name

The inhabitants of the little Span ish village of Puerto Lopiche. dis dainful of the fact that Cervantes inn mortalized their town in Don Qulx- ote." now desires to change its name.
 The question was submitted to a vote of the inhabitants and 1t was de- cided that Puerto Lopich should here- after be called Puerto de San Juan, in honor of the order of St. John, which occupied that district in the Middle Ages.
 Several Spanish newspapers have expressed their great indignation at this ingratitude, reminding the vil- lagers of their obligation to the great Cervantes. But apparently the people of Puerto Lopiche remain en- tirely unmoved by sentimental and literary arguments, declaring that Peuerto de SaL Juan sounds better than Puerto Lopiche. That, they believe, is the prime consideration.
 It has been observed that in other places the inhabitants of places made famous by great writers do not al- ways appreciate the honor bestowed upon them. Witness the good people of Tarascon who certainly have no great love and esteem for Alphonse Daudet.-Le Petite Parisien, Paris. (Translated for The Star.)

LAND SEIZURES IN MEXICO
Method Of Sequestrntion The Chief
 Cause Of Complaint

The agrarian condition of Mexico is almost unique. The haciendas are estates far larger than holdings in any country except czarist Russia and perhaps Argentina.
 The Indians, the old agricultural landowners, are landless and, in most of the states, they work either as peons directly under the hacienda owners or as tenants on the basis of paying half the crop.
 By the agrarian law the govern ment has attempted to find short cut to a more rational state of ali fairs. If it was in a financial posi- tion to pay cash for the sequestrated land there would be no complaint. It is because the compensation by bonds is regarded as fraud, since they have no cash values, that the landlords protest so loudly.
 If the redistribution proceeded by orderly course of law there would not be much to say about it, but un, fortunately 1t does not stop there. Hearing that they are to have land, and incited by bolshevist agitators, the peons are forcibly seizing land all over the country.
 The ordinary form is for a few good for nothing Indians-and some of these are to be found in every villa ge-to collect body of reluct- ant peons and march onto the ground, waving red flag. Then they stake on their claim. often in the position most unwelcome to the owner. In one recent case they ap- propriated the irrigation tunnel con- structed at great expense by the owner, who has now to face the pos sibility of the water being cut off from his crops.
 A majority of the peons do not want the land and will not make any use of 1t now that they have got it; but, like inert and minimizing majorities all over the world, they do as they are told by the agitators, and sometimes repair secretly to the landlord to express their sympathy with him.
 The government, which ought to nip this lawless and spreading move ment in the bud, will do nothing, for 1t knows that any action which can be misrepresented as sympathy with the property owning class would damage it's cause irrevocably at the forthcoming presidential elec- tion, and so 1t wrings Its hands and sits down to watch events.-Sir Basil Thompson fin the Saturday Evening Post

ALBANY, \. Y., June 30.-Employ ment in factories of this state during May was 1 per cent lower than in April, reports the New York state de- partment of labor.
