Shoe Store Loses
Plate Glass Window

A large plate glass show window
in the Earle Shoe store on Main
street, valued at about $50, was
smashed into splinters at 1.50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon when Henry
Dorr of Oakland, driving a Ford
touring car with Maine plates 95-S9S,
by mistake stepped on the gas in
stead of on the brake and ran his
car up over the curb and into the
building. No one was injured al
though two people narrowly escaped
being struck by the automobile. A
large crowd was soon together, but
with the exception of the broken
ylass there was no damage done and
the excitement quickly subsidized.

that circle designs have lately

we are informed, which has

of which we will probably hear

design makes very fresh, clean

ment Of Commerce has instituted

men, entitled What the World
Wants. Requirements of foreign
countries are listed. Germany
wants to purchase washer rings

requests eye-testing sets; Sudan
is in the market for mocassins;
Siam wants shaving brushes;

GARRETT P. SERVISS SUGGESTS
WATCH FOR SUN SPOTS
Black Dots on Orb's Surface Visible to Naked
Eye, But Seen Better in Telescope.

THOUSANDS learned how to
l. look at the sun during the
January eclipse. hope that many
of them will retain their black
spectacles, or their sheets Of
blackened Photographic film, aud
continue to keep watch of the
great orb Of day during the COM
the summer. Those who do so
may be rewarded with some very
interesting sights. especially il.
with their dark glasses, they use
either binoculars or small tele-
scopes.
The sun is now in the early
stages of a new spot cycle, which
began some eighteen months ago,
and it is on the cards for ocCa-
sional sensational appearances to
be recorded. A sunspot, or group
of spots, of not much more than
average dimensions, may easily
be seen without any magnificatlon
by glasses, If the eye is properly
shaded from the glare, while large
groups show some Of their cOarser
details when viewed with a mag.
nffying power of eight diameters,
such as is given by many prism
binoculars.
There are to be had in the
shops good pocket telescopes,
with magnification sometimes as
high as twenty diameters, which
show the sun as a disk more than
ten degrees broad, and reveal all
spots except the most minute
that may happen to be upon 1t.
Several observers may look at
the same time If the telescope is
mounted on a stand, as shown in
the picture, and the image Of the
sun Is thrown from it's eyepiece
upon white sheet so placed as
to be at right angles to the direc
ton of the ray.
A telescope suitable for use in
this way should have a focusing
screw so that the small tube car
rying the eyepiece can be racked
in or out until the image on the
sheet becomes perfectly sharp,
The Washington times., 1925-05-13

The image will move SLOWLY
across the sheet in consequence
of the rotation of the earth
(which carries the observer con-
tinually eastward, while the sun
appears to move westWard, but
this is readily counteracted by
turning the telescope tube 20 fol-
low the sun. If a magnifying
power Of as much as fifty dame
tiers is employed, large spots will
show so much detail that very
striking pictures of them may be
sketched with a pencil. With a
pair of cOmpasses their diameterS
and areas may be roughly meas
ured; and. remembering that the
suns diameter is about 866 600
miles. the actual size of a large
spot may be estimated and COM
pared with the size of the earth.
But simply to see the spots
when they are on the disk, as
they are not continually-no elab-
crate preparations are necessary.
The tlack shade ard an ordinary
operaglass often suffice. An
eight-power prism binocular IS ex-
cellent for Thu, purpose.
Such glass is also quite salts

Dare She Show Him Her
Love?

IneZ. Wait several minutes.
didn't say that AT ALL. And
right now we come to the trick
of the whole thing. There IS
an extremely large chance that
man will tire of the love which
a woman shows him with utter
frankness. BUT 1T ISN'T BE-
CAUSE OF THE FRANKNESS.
IT'S BECAUSE THE LOVE IT
SELF IS TIRESOME.
That is distinction which
women are very loath to make.
It's so easy and so beautiful to
love-so enchanting to live with
out restraint-that they feel the
recipient of that love should be
equally enchanted with the pro-
cess. And usually he is, for a
short time at any rate. But II in
time he becomes bored, and final
~ disguised, and leaves the ador,
ing one in the lurch, does the
lady feel that she, herself, Is to
blame? No, indeedy. Doesn't she
love him? Then isn't he a
Dastardly Wretch to ignore that
love? And doesn't that prove that
men are really treacherous, the
unappreciative brutes who will in
variably weary of a woman who
gives her whole heart?
There you have the course of
reasoning which has built up the
viewpoint of your lady friends,
Inez. AT no point does that view
point cast any doubt upon the
ladies themselves nor the quality
of their spurned love. Yet. in
nine times out of ten, there lies
the whole trouble.
1t isn't the J.. frankness of love
which disgusts a man. but its
failure to make good as a big life
issue. You may love a man to
desperation, and tell him about it
a thousand times a day, and re.
main utterly loyal to that man
alone. Yet, If there is neither
inspiration, variety nor humor in
your love. he's going to weary
of it and the fault will not be
his. You can't make good with
another human merely by pinning
your affections on him or her.
There must be some quality in
your affection which ministers
vitality to that other human. 1t
must reflect constant growth in
yourself, it must be energetic and
ambitious, amusing and versatile.
full of the stuff which makes for
Life. Otherwise you're merely a
faithful barnacle, kid, and you're
apt to be stranded when the
tide goes out.

Who Should Bow First

argument and write to you for
advice. A, a young lady. sits at

goes by. A knows it is the lady's
place to bow first when meeting

should bow first and raise his
hat when passing her window.
Which is correct?
