STUDYING ECLIPSE DATA

Durnng the total eclipse of the sun on January 24, clouds spoiled the magnificent spectacle for those liv- ing along the western portion of the path of totality, but in the east clear skies prevailed and millions of peo- pie viewed the wonderful sight in all it's glory.
 Early reports indicated that as tronomers had secured highly satis- factory photographs of the pheno- enon, from which much valuable scientific information may be worked out. This will take about three years.
 Those who witnessed the eclipse at it's best may readily understand the terror which these events inspired in the early ages of mankind, when all sorts of devices were resorted to for the purpose of appeasing the dragon which seemed to devour the sun.
 The ancients made serious study of astronomy and it is said the earl fest eclipse of record occurred in 2137 B. C., when two Chinese astronOm- CTS, Hsi and Ho, attached to the em- peror's court, were put to death for being drunk and failing to give warn ing of the event.
 The entire series of eclipses repeat at intervals of eighteen years and about eleven days. Butt here is a fraction of a day involved, so that each succeeding eclipse occurs about one-tiIird of the way around the earth farther west than the core spending one of the preceding series. This makes calculations more diff ficult, especially owing to the moons apparently rapid movement.
 Astronomers predicted the recent eclipse within about four seconds of the actual time of occurrence at any given point within the path of to- tality.

Moving Mountain Menaces
 South Wales Community

BORGOED, South Wales, Feb. 16- The natives of Bargoed began a series of prayer services recently with the hope of bringing about the advent of dry weather which it was believed would arrest the movements of Mt Troedrhiwfuwch, near here, which has done great property damage and be- come menace to the community.
 Fresh Assures have appeared in the foot of the moving mountain and are highways have been closed to traffic Water mains supplying more than one hundred thousand persons in the Phymney valley have been broken by the pressure of the moving earth and several hundred workmen have been employed to make repairs as rapidly las possible.
 Several sections of a newly con- structed main trunk sewer which cost more than three million dollars have already been destroyed and in some places the pipes were pushed out 20 to 30 feet from their former positions.

ANOTHER EUROPEAN WAR

Due to the claim of France that Germany has been secretly supplying herself with large quantities of arms and other war material, evacuation of the occupied areas of Germany will not take place as scheduled.
 Whether the apprehension of France is we'll founded is hard to positively verify, but at any rate France will stay in the occupied areas for the present.
 At the time the treaty of Yer saiiles was made, President Wilson and Lloyd George agreed to protect France from German invasion ii France would withdraw her contem- tion to fortify the left bank of the Rhine. But the United States Sen- ate refused to stand by Wilson, so England also withdrew the promised guarantee to France.
 If Germany is really planning a military comeback, France will re- fuse to get out of Germany and as England and America have left her to take care of herself, they can hardly interfere.
 The situation is further compli cated by Frances pledge to defend CZecho-Slovakia and Poland from German aggression. In view of this 1t seems that the United States was wise in staying out of the mess.
 Some of the best informed writers on European affairs declare that as soon as Germany gets on her feet and the horrors of the last war are tially forgotten by the new genera. ;ion another was is inevitable.
 Whether the League of Nations or some similar agency will be able to lay plans in the meantime to avert such a catastrophe is perhaps the greatest question before the world today.

GRINDING OUT LAWS

With Congress and several legis latures now in session, the annual grist of new laws is being ground out by the legislative mills. Aside from those making provisions for the ordinary government machinery most of these laws are worse than useless.
 There are So many laws now that cen the lawyers arc unable to keep lack Of them ani the general pub lie only hear of them when cne has been violated inIocenlly by some citizen.
 Laws once passed arc seldom re- pealed except to be changed into another one of the same nature. New commissions, new boards, new conl- mittees and all sorts of additional government agencies are being ere ated, each increasing the burden of taxation far beyond any real hene- fits derived
 Every man elected to a legislative body thinks it is up to him to origi- nate some new law, or copy one from some other state. Most of these laws carry some kind of a tax and lot of officials to collect it from the people,
 The burden of government is be- coming unbearable and sooner or later the people will revolt and rele- gate the lawmaking fiends to the obscurity which they deserve.
 Candidates should be pledged to repeal foolish laws we have already, instead of passing new ones.

1 Clock Famous In 1876
 Begs a Be6tting Home

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 16-The tower clock that won the highest award and special bronze medal at the centennial exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, will be given away to the municipality or building which will provide it with the most suitable home
 This announcement was made today by Dudley F. Fasoldt, 133 North Pearl Street, Albany, N. Y., nephew of C.. F Fasholdt, pioneer clockmaker who constructed the prize mechanician.
 The famous old clock is today pin ing away it's existence in a back room, practically forgotten despite the fame it won in competition. It's owner said he was moved to make the offer only by the desire that the masterpiece be given an opportunity to fulfill it's des- tiny of usefulness and service.
 The clock will operate four dials up to 100 feet across, setting it's hands every half minutes, and it's owner de- clares that it will not gain or lose more than ten seconds a year.
 The clock mechanism is enclosed in solid mahogany and glass case and is capable of giving many years of faithful service to the municipality or building which will adopt it.

Uruguay Government To Embark In the Meat
 Bushes On Big Scale

MONTEVIDEO, Feb. 16.-Uruguay. although geographically the smallest South America republic, has always been something of pioneer in the matter of up-todate legislation. Hav- ing already established several state owned enterprises, she is now about to build a meat packing plant which will supply meat at cost price to CO., operative associations of butchers, and also export it.
 The scheme as recently approved, involves an outlay of five million dol lars to be raised by an issue of six and one-half per cent bonds. The en- terprise will be an autonomous de- pendency of the state, to be admins tered by a board of twelve directors, seven to be named by the government and five by the cattle owners.

FEWER LYNCHINGS.

Amid all the discouraging phases of present day life in America, there is one fact that stands out as a well come contrast to other evidences of decadence in law observance. This is the marked decline of lynching.
 In 1892 there were no less than 255 lynchings in the United States, while in 1924 there were only 16.
 While 16 is just that many too many, the trend is certainly encour- aging and it is the hope of every right-thinking person that this blot on our national escutcheon may soon be entirely wiped out.
 Many factors have contributed to the desirable result already noted, among them being that of education among both whites and blacks. While all the victims of lynch law have not been negroes, by any means, the large majority have been. Neither have all cases been confined to, any one section of the country. although |from the negros former tendency to la certain diabolical crime the far greater number have occurred in the South.
 Much has been accomplished with
Seward daily gateway., 1925-02-17

a view to better understandings be- tween the white and negro population by the formation of inter-racial com mittees, composed of leaders of both races, in many communities.
 Whites and blacks must live in America and by approaching the problems which this fact presents, in a spirit of helpfulness and fair play, much antagonism may be avoided. Stirring up of race hatred by either side must be strongly condemned.
