Brilliant Sky to Welcome Summer

A REMARKABLE show under
"A her big tent" to mark the
arrival of summer, June %, is
planned by Nature who will have
her blooms at her best then. Her
sky schedule for June follows:
June 15-Total eclipse of the
moon visible in North" and South
America. In eastern standard
time the moon will first dip into
the shadow of the earth and par
tial eclipse will begin at 1:43 a. m.
on June Is. The total eclipse will
begin at S:14 a. M, when the
moon becomes totally immersed in
the earth's shodow. and will last
for 81 minutes, ending at 3:35 a.
M, according to the American Ma
ture Association. At sos a. m.
the partial phase of the eclipse
will end as the moon leaves the
shadow of the earth. The same
events will take place one hour
earlier in central time, two hours
earlies in mountain time. and
three hours earlier in Pacific time.

at London the magnitude of the

There will be at least one expedi-
ton from the United States in the
path of totality. the Mccormick

University of Virginia. which will
be in charge of Prof. S. A.
Mitchell, director of the observa-
tory. This expedition is financed
by J. A. Chaloner, of Virginia. and
it will be located at Fargernes. in
Norway. Although the tota!
eclipse will last only "a seconds.
and it is expected that some very
valuable observations my be made
in these few fleeing moments,
A total eclipse of the moon is
not as rare in any one locality as
a total eclipse of the sun since the
moon is visible from half of the
earth's surface when in the earth's
shadow. while a total solar eclipse
is only visible within a narrow
strip of the earth's surface, usually
less than 100 miles wide and about
5000 miles long. over which the
moon shadow sweeps. Then. too,
total eclipse of the moon may
last for more than a very few
minutes, less than eight at the
very most. No one should miss an
opportunity to observe the i'm.
pressive phenomenon of a total
eclipse of the moon, which illus.
trates how unfailing and exact are
the laws Of nature since man can
predict these events almost to the
moment

But there was a great deal of
plain ordinary woman in her, too.
And, as she hung the receiver on
its black hook. she made up her
mind to put Monica in her place
that night. To outshine her the
way the moon might outshine a
glowworm.
When Mrs Mangan unlocked
the door of the house few min

lower hall and listened, a smile
on her sagging mouth. From up

No one noticed them particularly

An Italian girl, who had married
the art director at Magnifica, was
doing skirt dance at one end of
the room, but no one paid any at

to mind. She went on singing, in
broken English, that it looked to
her like "a hot time in the old
