Drops tO l8e Below Zero When i0 Total Eclipse With
 Earth

Pasadena. Gait. Nov. 2S Lr- The man in the moon undoubtedly discarded his asbestos tuxedo for heavy flannels and fur overcoat when the earth turned of Luna's solar heat system during the eclipse yesterday morning.
 Dr. Edison Petit, Mount Wilson observatory astronomer, who watch- ed the moons temperature said that before mother earth interposed her. self between the suns rays and the moon, the lunar body had temper ature Of about eaS degrees fahren- heit, but that during the total eclipse the temperature dropped about 4i4 degrees to 1S6 degrees below zero close to the temperature of liquid air.
 Dr. Petit jabbed figurative thermometer under the tongue of the mythical man three times & more than 1S0 times during the eclipse. Instead of growing winter the lunar mans face grew redder as his temperature dropped. he said.
 Dr. Petit took the temperatures with the aid of an intricate set of mirrors which played tag with slender moonbeains.
 Other astronomers at Mount Will son studied the modification of the solar spectrum. Alfred H. Joy using the 100 inch instrument the largest refiecting telescope in operation. was nearer the moon theoretically than any other human being during t-o phenomenon.

WILL NOT COMPEL
 BLOCK SIGNALS
Commerce Commission to Re irtin Ordering Installations

Washington, Nov. 2s N-The in- terstate commerce commission has decided to refrain from compelling railroads to make further instalia- tions Of automatic train control de- vices or of block signals. The de- cision was announced today in the course of a report concluding an in- vestigation into the present status of automatic signals and devices, and the statement indicated that the commission considered that safety on railroads could be promoted by elim- ination of grade crossings, the bet torment of bridges. and the replace ment of wooden passenger cars. Issued Order
 Three years ago the commission. over the protest of | large number of railroads. ordered very extensive installations on all first class roads. of train control devices intended to halt a train automatically when . stop signal is disregarded.
 Tt has been shown in this case that the number of accidents and casualties which result from disre. gard Of signal indications Is relative ly small in comparison with those which result from other causes" the commission decision said. I've there fore believe that vigorous efforts to provide adequate protection against the larger number of accidents which arise from such causes will afford a greater measure of safety than required by ordering special ef- forts to extend train control install iation. For that reason we have concluded not to require by order at the present time further installation of train stop or, train control devices. should Re Diligfnt
 '"The carriers should be diligent in their efforts to provide adequate pro- lection against accidents duo to grade crossings. derailments. col lisions. In territory not protected by block signals. failure of wooden bridges and trestles and the use of wooden passenger train cars which have been repeatedly mentioned in our recommendations to congress, we shall expect them to undertake the necessary studies and tests to bring about standardization of de- signs and methods of installation of train stop and trap control devices so that they may he used in terminal areas and on joint tracks where traffic density is greater"
