4 high shall abide under the
shadow of the Almighty. PSALM
Gil.
This is the first and only reason
able explanation for today's phe-
nomenon, the eclipse. The scien-
lists were right in a few particu-
lars, but wrong in many. For In
stance, the path OF totality was
not in Wisconsin. Michigan. etc.
It followed Indiana Ave. The
chickens did not go to roost. They
got up at the usual hour, sought
out the smoked glass they used at
the last eclipse, and sailed forth
to work.
There was no wild rush to the
10-cent stores for colored glasses.
Many OF them Just opened athe
chifforobe, picked out an empty gin
bottle ard smoked it, together with
a dgaret. Contrary to expecta-
tons the street lights did not flash
forth at 8 a. m. as Mayor Shank
promised. The city saved 1921
thereby.
Operating Expenses"
The Citizens Gas Company ONCE
. force temporarily abandoned MAX
ing out monthly bills and gazed
and gazed and gazed, charging the
time to operating expenses, accord
ing to the public service commits
sion. We grinned at them, but
they saw us not. What's a man
when the sun hides his face in
shame at earthly sins?
The county Courthouse was a
scene of unusual sctivity and its
habitues, employed and otherwise,
gave undivided attention to the
feature of the skies. It was one OF
the few places, Including the
Statehouse and the city hall, where
sufficient time was available.
Sun on Souse
There is one more matter we
wish to take up with the scientists
as soon as we are able to see the
keys. No one interviewed the sun
and no one knows how he feels
about it. Personally, we are of
the belief he was on a souse last
night. although we failed to per-
ceive the three stars the scientists
said would be visible. In the be-
ginning the sun seemed to be sort
OF upset. He came through It nne,
though.
Although we are fairly well sat
isfied with the exhibition, consid-
ering everything, we demand our
money back. The shadow did not
travel with its promised speed, for
one thing. We timed it between
here and Greenfield and noted a
tendency to loaf London astron-
omers said It should cover the dis
lance between Emerson Ave. and
StateASt. in Greenfield in .00000025
seconds. It actually required
.O00O00251 seconds. we were lead
ing by a beam at Greenfield. This
is serious discrepancy, and we
hope it win be corrected before the
next eclipse. Otherwise, every
thing was satisfactory.

the test period. established a car

eclipse for the first time since we
started the tests.
Gan this shows that the shadow
of the moon created night condi-
tons. There were times when recep-
ton was very light, but we must re-
call that we passed from totality In
northern Michigan over belt Of
comparative light.
\ Fades Out
Eat 1853 a. m. the time Of highest
obscurity here, the announcer's
voice faded out, but the same thing
often occurs at night. A moment
later 1 heard the announcer again.
Now we have something definite
to work on. Before, all we knew
was thet the power was about one
tenth during the day OF what it is
at night"
Tests Of the same nature was
made at Northwestern University
here and proved unsuccessful, it
was announced. At no time was the
station able to hear WJAZ. Eastern
stations in the shadow belt were not
heard, although Cincinnati and
Louisville, below the belt, were
picked up.
