BALDWIN IS
 ATTACKED BY
 LLOYD GEORGE
British Premier Criticised for Anglo-French
 Naval Accord

LONDON, Nov. 14.-President Coolidge's Armistice Day speech was the background for a sharp debate in ;ne House of Commons between Prime Minister Baldwin and former Premier Lloyd George, Liberal leader.
 The discussion was precipitat- ed when Lloyd George moved for an amendment inviting the House of Commons to declare the Anglo French naval accord endangered the peace of Europe and the good relations of the United States.
 Defining the Govern nm ent s course, Premier Baldwin describ- ed the accord as scraped but said it was an honest and straight forward attempt to escape from the deadlock which developed at Geneva and was threatening the cause of disarmament"
 Attacking the Prime Ministers foreign policy, Lloyd George ask ed that the House of Commons express official regret that the accord with France had aband- oned the principle of limiting small submarines, cruisers and other naval vessels.

SEATTLE, Nov. 14.-Leonard Baldwin, New York financier, rep resenting Eastern capital develop ing the Lomen Reindeer herds of Seward peninsula. said the Alaska ,reindeer production will be in- creased 100 per cent next year.
 Baldwin declared the last decade had witnessed an evolution in the industry, from experiment to big business, now assuming nation- wide proportions with Seattle as the distributing center and base of supplies. He pointed out his company spends $250,O00 yearly in Seattle directly, in addition to a $1.o00,00O Alaska payroll which finds it's way here. He said the figures face an increase next year.
 He said the first stage of the development problem has been passed ani it is no longer a ques- tion of finding a market but the question now is production.
 MT. Baldwin said the demand for reindeer meat has increased phenominally this year and has become recognized in leading cafes and hotels as staple article of diet"

 One is study of the earth's at mosphere. The other is an inves tigation of the suspicion that the earth's revolution on it's axis is not uniform.
 When the moon is in total eclipse, it nevertheless still is visi- ble dimly, from sunlight which is bent inward around the edges of the earth by refraction through the atmosphere. In 1S4S so much light reached the moon ir this manner that it was coppci

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.--How to keep physically fit, though bound to a desk, is a problem high ranking officers of the army have solved.
 They fish, hike, ride, play polo golf and tennis for no matter how exalted their rank they must take two hours a week of active exer- else. That is a war department order that applies to all desk off cers.
 A major general may be seen regularly, walking briskly along at intervals breaking into dog trot. Maj. Gen. Briant Wells, dep uty chief of staff. takes his dose of exercise in that fashion. He gets out on the "traek" twice q week.
 Maj: General Charles P. Sum- neral, chief of staff, enjoys walk ing and every Sunday morning he stridess along the Potomac river banks. He likes to take long Sunday hikes through Virginia.
 Maj. General B. F. Cheatham head of the quartermaster corps owns his own horses and rides frequently. He also is fond oi golf and likes to fish. Northern Minnesota and Canada are favor ite haunts of his.
 Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby chief of cavalry, rides fin Rock Creek park every morning. The only polo-playing general on duty here is Brig. Gen. Frank Parker assistant chief of staff G3. Bri $ Gen. K. E. Booth, assistant chief of staff GA, often is called upon to referee polo game.
 Among the golf and tennis en- thusiasts are Maj. Gen. Robert AL len, chief of infantry; Maj. Ger John A. Hull. judge advocate gen. eral; Maj. Gen. Merritte w. Ire land, surgeon general of the army and Brig. Gen. Frank R. Keefer assistant surgeon general.
 President Roosevelt. who inau- gurated a 90-mile ride each year for all generals and field officers was responsible for many of the fine bridle paths laid out in Rock Creek park. Just before the wal the yearly ride was abolished anj the Russian Ride over three-m mile steeple chase course was subst.- tute1 for the cavalry and field ar tillery officers. That, too, was abandoned and the war department now requires two consecutive hours a week of active exercise for all it's desk officers.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 14.-- T h-re Alrar- ilse-heroes. who climbed different ladders to sue cess are Involved in changes on the Union Pacific railroad system as the result of the retirement of E. E Calvin, vice president of operations.
 Calvin, messenger boy on the Big Four at IA, is succeeded by w. M. Jeffers, who began on the Un- ion Pacific as a call boy. Jeffers' place as general manager will be taken by N. A. Williams, who at 20 was section hand on the Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy. Will Hams has been general superin- tendent at Cheyenne.
 Calvin, 70 years oid, is one of the western railroad pioneers. He served the Union Pacific as tele- graph operator at many frontier points, when herds of buffalo of- ten interrupted traffic and the danger from excited Indians was to be reckoned with. His retire. ment. effective November 1, ter minated an interesting railway career.
 When Hartman, the railroad or ganizer. districted the Hartman lines in 1904, Calvin. who had been general superintendent at Salt Lake City, went to Portland as general manager of the road. Next he was at San Francisco as vice president of the Southern Pacific. Calvin directed railroad relief work after the earthquake and fire. When the Union Pacific and South ern Pacific were segregated in 1914 Calvin was assigned to the north- ern lines. In 1920 he became vice president of operations.
 Jeffers' entire railroad career udS Dttu llHhtu Wibn tHc OnlOu Pacific. Call boy, telegrapher, clerk in the maintenance of way, timekeeper, extra gang foreman, train dispatcher, chief dispatcher at North Platte, Neb., trainmaster at Green River, Wyo.. and Den- yer, back to Green River as as- sistant superintendent, superin- tendent there in 1909, at Cheyenne and Omaha and finally general manager in 1926-these were the rungs of his ladder to the pres ent distinction.
 Williams, tired of swinging pick on a section gang and became a brakeman on the O. He jumped to the Denver and Rio Grande, be- came a conductor, assistant super intendent and superintendent at Salt Lake. He quit to run a mer- cantile business, but abandoned f. for railroading in 1916. That year he entered the Union Pacific as a trainmaster at Grand Island, Neb. By 1922 he was a Cheyenne super htendent, then general superin- tendent at Los Angeles. He came back to Cheyenne as general su- perintendent in 1925.

 Another observation which is substantiated by photographs, is that the darkest part of tho shadow on the moons face is not where 1t would be expected, in the center of the shadow, but on the northern side of the shadow. The light on the moon during this coming eclipse comes from the
