NAVY FIGURES
SUNS VAGARIES
Eclipses for Years to Come
Scheduled BY Scientists.

WashingtOn.-ProlOnged study Of the
Vagaries OF the sun and the moon has
enabled scientists Of the United States
naval observatory here to work out
their eclipses for the next three years.
Under the direction Of Capt w. s..
Eichelberger, q. S. n, they now are
starting on the 1929 eclipses.
An annual eclipse Of the sun-an
eclipse where the rim of the sun shows
outside Of the eclipsed areas fore
east for July 2O-21, this year, but will
be invisible in the United States. A
partial eclipse Of the moon is due
August 4, being more or less visible in
the eastern states and wholly visible
on the Pacific coast.

trail Pacific ocean. and as a partial in
northern Australia, the eastern edge
OF Asia, the United States and Mexico.
L. 1927 there will be five eclipses-
three Of the sun and two of the moon.
Seven eclipses in a year is the maxi
mum, five of the sun and two Of the
moon, and the least number in a
1welve-mOnth is two, both of the sun,
as will be the case in 1926.
An annular solar eclipse, visible in
the southern Pacific, will occur Janu-
AIRY 8, 1927. A total Of the sun, June
%, will be visible in Europe, appear
ing as a near total at Nome, Alaska.

take place December 8, visible gen
orally in the Pacific ocean and in the
northern part of North America. A
partial eclipse of the sun will occur De
cember "a.
Another heavenly phenomenon will
ne seen in 1927 in the transit of Mer-
.cury, which will appear as a dot on the
sun. On November 10 the transit will
Jake place, visible generally in the Pa
cifc ocean. Australia and Asia, except
in the northern and western portions

tai solar eclipse of May 10, 1923, will be
a curious one. only part Of the resulting

A STUDY IN CONTRASTS
Over 10000 Persons Without Work in
Scotland; Breakdown of Industrial
System is Threatened

In recent speech in the British Parlia-
ment according to the London Times,
Captain w. +. Elliott, under-sccretary for
health, Scotland, said that the country
was laboring under difficulties; that there
are $780, 900 persons without work and that
those responsible for the health of the
country fear that the depression and, to
some extent, the undertaking involved in
the partial or complete breakdown of the
industrial system would depress the health
and lower the vitality of the people
He thought the unemployment greater
than last year. The general death rate
which in 1923 was 1900 per thousand
moved up to 14.04 in 1924 and infantile
mortality rose from 70 to % while insur-
ance returns show an increase of sickness
of from Is to 20 per cent. 1t also in
creased in France and Denmark Adult
sickness increased in England and Scot
land by IS to 20 per cent.
The same day that Captain Elliot made
his speech the annual general meeting of
Booths Distileries was held in London.
A dividend of 10 per cent was declared on
ordinary shares and Sir Charles Cotter
who presided said that it gave him much
pleasure to be able to review very salts
factory years trading.
These two items may have some con-
nection with each other.

Court Rebukes Jurors

Judge Monaghan after hearing the re-
port read i'll which admission was made
that the jury refused to act in many liqour
cases because of jurors hostility to the
prohibition law, addressed them as fol-
lows:
Gentlemen of the Jury: Referring
to the comment on the last page of
your report, wish to remind you that
| instructed you that as grand jurors
you were not to be influenced by any
feeling of sympathy or prejudice of
any kind one way or the other, but
to be guided and controlled strictly
by the evidence, that it was not with
in your province to say what the law
ought to be or what you think it
ought to be, or whether any particular
law meets with your approval or dis
approval. | instructed you that it
was your duty to determine all cases
strictly on the evidence, free from
sympathy or prejudice of any kind.
That is all.
Three successive grand jurics disrc-
garding the evidence and refusing to in
dict on the ground that they do not APP
prove of the law, indicates at least one
big reason why dry law enforcement is
difficult in Philadelphia. Bootleggers
would be indeed dull of comprehension
if they didn't accept this attitude as an
invitation to continue their violations of
law.

PROSECUTE NAVAL RUM WAR
Increase Activities of Fleets on All
Coasts; Encouraged by Success
in East

Announcement was made on May 20
OF the expansion of the governments ma
val rum war. \ lake fleet of fifteen armed
rum cruisers will be in operation within
month or two under the direction of
James Brereton, federal prohibition agent
OF Chicago, according to the announce
ment.
On three other fronts-the Atlantic, the
Pacific and the Gull of Mexico-an inn
mediate increase Of vigilance is contcm-
plated. Marked success of the rum block
ade on the eastern seaboard as evidenced
by lcssened activities among the rum run
ners, has encouraged this expansion.
Lincoln {. Andrews, chief of federal en-
forcement, announced at FL Paso that
plans had been laid to expand the enforce
ment fleet on the Atlantic to 100 or more
craft.
He also said that the sea prohibition
forces on the Pacific coast would be en-
larged to make available for the coast
guard at least one boat for every liquor
smuggling ship off shore. Activity also is
reported on the Gulf with three armed
coast guard cutters enroute from PEN
sacola, Fla, to Biloxi, Miss, where they
will make a base

GRAND JURY DOESN'T LIKE LAW--REFUSES TO UDICT
May Grand Philadelphia
Bodies and Refuses Find True Bills Against Liquor Law VIC
lators Because Jurors Don't Like the Law

The Philadelphia May grand jury made
the startling admission in a final present
ment May % that its members had ig-
nored indictments in many cases because
of personal prejudice against the liquor
laws.
OF 206 cases charging offenses against
the dry law the jury dismissed IA. At
the same time in another branch of Quar-
ter Sessions Court before Judge McCu1-
len, Director of Safety Buffers belief that
"a crisis has been reached III the enforce
ment of the liquor laws in Philadelphia,
was related in connection with the effort
by the Department of Public Safety TO
prosecute some of the $50 liquor cases
thrown out by the April grand jury.
The fiat acknowledgment of the May
jury that it was not in sympathy with the
prohibition law not only brought a re-
buke upon the jurors by Judge Monag-
han, presiding in Quarter Sessions Court
No. l, but caused the court to dismiss the
jury without the customary expression of
thanks for their services, says the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger. The report
which Judge Monaghan reported filed for
whatever future action is to be taken, is
the third expression or indication by as
many successive grand juries of open hos
tility to the prohibition laws. Because of
the April jury's dismissal of so many lq-
uor prosecutions, Director Butler is now
attempting to reopen prosecution by re-
arresting the defendants on similar COM
plant. The March grand jury in throw
ing out so many cases condemned the po-
lice methods of obtaining evidence to
which Director Butler replied that the
police methods were legal and proper no
matter what the jurors thought about
them.

ONTARIO BEER RUSH SUBSIDIES
Vets Find a. is a Disappointment !;
Drys Say It's Intoxicating; Will
Precipitate Contest at Polls

Demand for Canada's new a. beer
seems to be waning. Observations of
conditions in Windsor have convinced
American enforcement agencies in De-
troit that enforcement problems there will
not be seriously affected by the beer
problem.
The first rush of thousands across the
border, principally at Detroit, was very
heavy, but the second day it fell down in
volume, and has dwindled steadily since
Major Roy A. Haynes, federal prohibit
ton commissioner, who went to Detroit
as soon as the Canadian beer was placed
on sale, together with E. c. Yellow1y, his
chief assistant, and Thomas E. Stone,
prohibition director for the Tenth Dis
trict, has declared that if the Canadian
situation has an effect at all on enforce
ment it will make it easier rather than
harder.
Smuggling has Lulled
1t is pointed out that the beer is not
of the actual Kicking" strength the vets
believed it to be, and there will not be the
demand that was forecast. Thomas H.
Brennan chief of federal agents at De-
troit, is quoted as saying that liquor and
beer smuggling has lulled.
Major Haynes declares Detroit is dry
ing up. A factor i'll its increased aridity
has been the report that from 40 to 80
agents of the Department of Justice are
working there under cover, ferreting out
not only the bootleggers themselves but
also the instances of official connivance
with bootleggers. Many of these boot
leggers are said to be seriously alarmed
and to have quit business.
K. N. Holsaple, superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League of Michigan says
that inadequacy OF ferry transportation at
Detroit will forcstall the most serious re-
suit he has anticipated from Canadian
beer sales. Drunken driving is not looked
upan as menace, for practically all ma
chimes are left i'll Detroit to avoid the
jam.
Only First Step to Restore Saloon
Mr. Holsaple believes, and his belief
is shared by others, that legalization of a.
beer was only the first step of the vets
to bring back the saloon to Ontario.
N. N. Mosseau, license Inspector at Wind
sor, declared there need be no concern
on that point He declared:
1--WE will not have to inspect the beer
until Detroiters get suspiciously numerous
over here. If they ever come as thick as
the first day, we'll know the beer is get
ting too strong, and there will be trouble"
Il consider this merely the first step
on the road to wines and real beer" says
Mayor Mitchell of Windsor The con-
sensus of both wet md dry opinion is
that the question now is whether Ontario
will insist on real prohibition or legalize
the sale and use of stronger liquors. In
other words, sale of "A beer which is
manifestly against the wishes of the vot-.
crs as expressed in last falls referendum,
with majority of 10000, quite likely will
preciptate conclusive campaign.
In the meantime, the vets contend that
the A beer is not Intoxicating, and the
drys contend that it is. The drys also
point out that legal sale of "A beer will
