GREAT SHOW ON IN
 I HEAVENS TONIGHT
Jupiter and, Venus VIII Be in
 Approximate Conjunction

Chicago, Feb. 4 P - Jupiter and Venus will be in approximate stellar conjunction again this eve ming, providing brilliant specta- cle and recalling the alarm caused in some countries in 1916 during the war when the two heavenly bodies drifting westward to their setting were reported as head and tail of giant dirigible.
 The eyes of those interested in astronomical phenomena were di- rected by Prof. Philip Fox of Dearborn observatory, Northwest ern university, to the western sky after sunset for view of the ap- parent near approach of two of the brightest planets in the solar system. The show will be repro duced Saturday evening.
 "The near approach is only ap- parent for in reality at this time Jupiter is nearly four times as far from the earth as is Venus. the two distances being 539,000,000 and 14S,000,000 miles," said Prof. Fox Although Jupiter has a diameter il times that of Venus and though both shine by reflected sunlight Venus will appear the brighter be- cause of it's lesser distance from the sun and from us.

Four Brooklyn Streets
 ROped Off for Safety

Brooklyn, N. r., Feb. 4 (UP)- Four street blocks were roped off in the borough hall section of Brook lyn today and pedestrians and mo- torists were banned from the usual ly we'll populated area.
 Bricks swinging menacingly on a scaffold at the 2Sth story of 35- Story building occasioned the pre- cautions. The scaffold was loosed from a cable by high wind and swung crazily throughout the night, carrying an ever-present threat Of death.
 One brick dented the front fend- CT of a police automobile and an- other damaged a statue of Henry Ward Beecher, but no one was in iured.

PRESIDENT WILL
NOT BLOCK new
loan TO FRANCE

RAPID CITY, S. D., Sept. Up
Any attempt of France to float a loan
in this country from private parties
will receive the consideration of Pres
ident Coolidge and government sane
ton Of such a loan will be decided
upon the merits of the case.
Although the administration has
pursued policy of withholding sane
ton of private loans here to coun-
tries which have not settled their war
debts with America, Mr.. Coolidge will
not decide in advance of the proposed
plea of France.
France, it is understood here, seeks
$100,000000 to refund previous loan
floated in America. However, it has
not formally informed this govern
ment of Its intention Meanwhile the
president feels it would be very i'm
proper for those who have the re-
sponsibility for determining the wis
dom Of the loan to decide in advance
on a hypothetical case and supposit-
iouS question.
France has not acted upon the war
debt settlement arranged a year ago
by it's ambassador at that time, M.
Berenger, with the American DEBT
commission. AS a result opposition
has arisen in some congressional quar-
ters against this government giving
permission for France to obtain an
other private loan here.

Importance to the citizens of Doug
las, according to John B. Hart,

made, the attitude of the commits
sion as seen by Hart, was one OF
cooperation indicating that the
commission would SO far as possible
comply with the wishes OF CochiSe

section.
Briefly the three resolutions, as
outlined by Hart, were:
A request that a budget allow
ance of $215,OOO for surfacing 26.2
miles of highway No. 80 west OF
Rodeo be changed so that the full
52-mile stretch between Douglas
and Rodeo be included in the ap-
preparation, or if that be imprac-
tlcable, a change so that the Stretcn
just east of Douglas be surfaced
instead of the section nearer to
Rodeo where the highway is in bet
ter condition, with a view to under
taking hard paving of at least a
section of the road under next
years budget
A request that $4,000 be ap-
propriated for improving the Doug
laS-Safford highway between Co.
chise and Wilcox.
A request that the 40-mile section
of the Douglas-Safford highway
from Pierce to point IL miles
east of Wilcox, where it forks off
to the Graham County line, be
taken over by the state highway
commission to be maintained as a
