MISS WILSON TAKES
LEAD. IN CARNIVAL
QUEEN CONTEST

Polling $3.50 votes on Saturday, MISS
Florence Wilson's total in the contest
! for election as queen of the fourth an
nual Maine Winter Carnival was in
creased to 1I154 and this popular
young lady went into the lead, and
Miss Gladys Madore, who has headed
the standing since the start of the
contest, dropped to third place with a
total vote to date of SPAS. Miss Helen
Bachelor. who has shown consistent
strength throughout the contest. was
but scant hundred votes behind in
the baloting on Saturday and added
sufficient to her total to give her sec
ond place with a grand total Of 9093.
Miss Constance Wade retained her
hold on the fourth place in the stand
ing and by adding 1853 votes Saturday
raised her total to 5SSS. Though 1903
votes were cast for Miss Yvonne
Faucher Saturday it was not sufficient
to advance this contestant in the
standing and with a total to date of
5772 the contest starts on the second
week with Miss Faucher in fifth
place.
The sixth and seventh place con-
tenders continue the same, though
, both Miss Evelyn Sears and Miss
Margaret Whalen possed over 1000
votes on Saturday. Miss Sears total
is now 1889 and Miss Whalens 1868.
A new source of strength was open
ed up to the contestants for the sec
ond week when the Carnival Ball man
agement announced that for each and
every ticket for the Carnival Ball
which the contestants disposed of they
would be awarded 20 votes. Each vOt-
ing station will also be supplied with
20 of the carnival tickets which, if dis
posed of, will entitle the station to so
votes in the contest which they may
| cast as they desire.

Register Speed of ,
Moons Shadow

New York, Jan. 24--For the first
time in history. the moons shadow
virtually punched time clock today
and recorded for the benefit Of sci
entific observers between Buffalo and
Easthampton, l.. l.. the exact instant
to the tenth Of second when totally
set in at five widely separated local
tiles.
The time clock. made Of the wheels
and gadgets Of an ordinary Sc clock,
plus 4 room full of valuable scienti-
tic machinery, was in the Bell Tele-
phone laboratories of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Company at
463 West street. From the clock $
mechanism radiated telegraph and
falo. Ithaca, Poughkeepsie. New
Haven and Easthampton.
The observation in Buffalo took up
the moons shadow as 1t passed east
ward and signalled by telegraph and
telephone to the Bell laboratories the
instant totality began. The infOrma
ton reached all observers on the cir
cult at the same time. A little over
two minutes later the Ithaca observer
made a similar report and so on until
the last report at Easthampton.
At the conclusion of the observa-
ton. the scientists in the Laboratories
who made the test at the request OF
the American Astronomical society,
We're enthusiastic over the results
From the data in their possession
they were able to make an approx
mate calculation which appeared tc
indicate that the moons shadow
Travelled in the neighborhood of los
miles a second. 1t had previously
been calculated that the shadow OF
the moon would fit over the earth al
the rate Of about so miles a minute
From the time clock in the West
street laboratory it appeared that the
astronomers who had made calcula
lions concerning the time of totality
at Buffalo and the other points with
in the circuit had made prognostica :
lions which were but slightly at vari-
ance with the actual facts.
