CORONA OF SUN
 TO BE WATCHED
This Is What Observers Will
 Note in Eclipse
y The AssoeIated Press.

|By The Associated Press.
 New Haven, Dec. 2e.--A dozen or
 more observatofies are making pre- aratlons to observe the eclipse Jan
 uary ai. Most Of them will direct
 l their efforts to the discovery of more
 information about the corona which
 Is never seen at any other time, says Prof. Ernest w. Brown. of Yale unl-
 vereity, chairman of the committee of the American Astronomical so-
 ciety on Public Information and So- operation for the eclipse.
 The part of this fringe Of light
 close to the sun is as bright as the
 full moon, and only very short exposure is necessary 10 get q pho-
 tograph of II. The outer parts need
 longer exposures and in these pie
 lures the detail of the inner parts is
 plotted out. Both kinds of photo
 graphs are necessary.
 The Green Lines of the Corona.
 When the light of the corona IS split up into different colors by a
 prism, there Is a bright green line
 which stands out prominently. No
 one yet knows what it means. When
 the ordinary light of t57 sun or Of Q star is treated the same way, the
 bright or dark lines which are seen
 crossing 1t have been sho~n to be due to substances which are pres ent on the earth. They can be treat
 ed and examined in the same way in
 laborotory. Each substance always gives the same lines.
 The "Flash" Spectrum. The band of color seen when the
 light is split up Is known as the spectrum. The instant after the last bright edge of the sun disappears be- hind the moon, the dark lines which ordinarily cross the spectrum be- come suddenly bright and then as rapidly fade out. Below this we arc then looking into the lower levels oi the suns atmosphere which give out most of the light which reaches us in the day time. The upper levels of the atmosphere absorb this light and give rise to the dark lines. The flash lasts such short time that the observer has to be very alert to see it and still more alert to catch a photograph of it.

Esther Kallio and Matt Hill SEN
fenced to Waupun; June Term
of Court Lasted But Two
Days.

The June term of circuit court for
Iron county was a short one. lasting
but two days and coming to a close
Tuesday afternoon. But few cases
came to trial at this term, many be-
ing continued for one reason or
another.
Tuesday morning the cases of
Esther Kallio and Matt Hill. both
charged with adultery, went to trial.
In the afternoon after being ont but
a short time the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty. Judge Risiord
sentenced them to a year each in the
state prison at Waupun.
A sentence of six months in the
county Jail was meted out to Floyd
Stewart, who pleaded guilty to the
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses. Tom Hicks, charged
with attempted larceny from the
person, was given a similar sentence.
The case Of John Till, charged
with larceny in a sum exceeding $40,
was dismissed on motion of the
district attorney.
Ed. Evenson's case did not come
to trial, an agreement having been
reached to settle the case out Of
court.
The case of Paul Santini was
continued and will probably be
heard at a special term of court in
the fell before an outside judge.
Judge Risjord presided at the hear
ing, hence it will be necessary to
call in an outside circuit court judge.
Most of the other cases on the

Thinks Price of
Gas Too High
State Commissioner of Markets
Nordman Believes That Eighteen
Cents Would Be Enough.

Madison-Edward Nordman, state
commissioner of markets, has de
clarcd that he was trying to find
some way Of avoiding the excessive
price that prevails for gasoline and
that it was with this purpose that he
requested the attorney general as to
the rights Of cities to engage in
gasoline retailing. Attorney General
Herman L. Ekern found that cities
have the right to sell gasoline.
1T is my belief, supported by
facts developed during the gasoline
investigation several months ago,
that l8cents or Whereabouts for low
test is all that should be charged for
gasoline at filling stations now" Mr..
Nordman declared "The price that
is being exacted at the present not
only bleeds the consumer but at
tracts too many people into the
business of distributing gasoline.
This results in considerable economic
waste through the erection of too
many filling stations which, as
experience has shown, places an
undue burden on the consumer.
With these considerations in mind
and in view Of the attorney-general's
opinion, ] propose that the municip-
alties themselves tackle the job of
those who now control the business
because they cannot handle it in a
business-like way"
