a special function in resistance to
infection. Professor Mellanby is
convinced that the feeding of ade-
quate amounts of vitamin A to the
prospective mother is equally impor-
tant in the prevention of infection
during childbirth with any of the
other procedures that may be
adopted.
He emphasizes particularly the
danger of giving too much vitamin
D without sufficient amount of
vitan1in A; in other words, of Great
ing what is called vitamin imbal-
ance.
For this reason physicians are
more and more inclined to urge that
the mother take, during this period,
not the special concentrates of vita
min D that are known as viosterol
or irradiated ergosterol, but instead
cod liver oil, to which viosterol has
been added, in order to raise its
quantity of vitamin D.
Cod liver oil is the richest sub
stance known in vitamin A content.

Then demons, realizing that the

Whatever Else Nay Be Said
of Radicalism, 1t Is IN
Earnest; We Can Not
Laugh off It's Sincerity.
SAYS

TT is curious, though not illogical,
l. that May day, once set aside for
revelry, should have been adopted
by radicalism.
1t requires no great stretch of the
imagination to see connection
between the two, especially as they
have been forced to make common
cause by Puritanical inhibitions.
The folk of Merry Mount, who
played ball on Sunday, and danced
around the maypole, probably were
regarded by their stern neighbors
of Plymouth as both frivolous and
revolutionary.
Because restraint has played such
part in religion and Statecraft,
unrestrained Joy has often been
identified with the spirit of rebel
lion.
To certain extent, the red flags
of today and the white hawthorn
flowers with which English youths
and maidens formerly adorned
themselves stand for the same thing
an effort to get away from the
thraldom of a work-day world.
Unable to devise a system which
promised anything like permanent
relief, our ancestors sought to for
get their woes and worries by few
hours of play.
Inspired by the tricks men have
been able to perform with steam
and steel, our modern doctrinnaires
promise humanity an enduring res
pite through a mechanical system
of morals and politics.

DiSheartening

a LUNAR eclipse is visible from
L A an entire hemisphere Of the
earth. A solar eclipse is visible as
total eclipse, however, only in the
narrow track upon which the moons
shadrw fails.
Any given spot on the earths
surface will experience a total
eclipse of the sun about once in 800
years.
It is disheartening to astrono-
mers the way the major portion of
an eclipse track usually lies over
the ocean.
The eclipse of Oct. 81 is a good
example Of this. The track is almost
entirely over the Atlantic ocean,
touching only two land masses.
In 1908 an eclipse track 1900 miles
long missed all land with the ex-
ception of few small islands.
Occasionally, just the opposite is
true. The eclipse track Of 1925
passed across the United States, go
ing directly across New York City.
AS a result, more people saw that
eclipse than any eclipse of the sun
in the history of the world.
Eclipses Of the sun for the next
twenty years, with the exception Of
those of very short duration or Wis
ible only in the polar regions, are as
follows:
Aug. 81, 1882, visible in New Eng.
land and Canada.
Feb. IA, 1884, visible in Borneo.
June 10, 1886, visible in Greece,
central Asia and Japan.
June 8, 1887, visible in Peru.
Oct. l, 1910, South America and
South Africa.
Sept. 81, 1941, Central Asia and
China.
Feb. 4, 1913, China and Alaska.
May 20, 1947, South America.
Nov 1, 1913, Central Africa, Persia
and Siberia.

SCIENCE
-Four Eclipses on This Years
Solar Schedule; Taoo Past;
T1Uo Others Due IN October.
BY DAVID DIETZ

TINE eclipse Of the sun on April
L % was one of four eclipSeS
which occur during the year OF 1880
The first eclipse of the year, a
partial eclipse of the moon, TOOK
place on April Is. This was fol-
lowed, on April %, by the eclipse OF
the sun.
The third eclipse of the year will
be another partial eclipse OF the
moon on Oct. 7. The United States,
however, will miss this spectacle, as
it will be visible over Europe, Asia,
Africa, the Indian ocean and Aus
tralia.
This will be followed by the last
eclipse of the year, a total eclipse OF
the sun on Oct. 81. This likewise
will be missed by the American con-
tinent.
The path of totality for this last
eclipse stretches across the southern
Pacific from point north Of New
Guinea to the tip of South Amer
lea. The eclipse will be visible as a
partial eclipse in eastern Australia
and New Zealand.
A British expedition under direc-
ton of DR.. c. E. Adams, government
astronomer for the dominion of New
Zealand, will observe the eclipse.
The Island Of Muafou or Good
Hope, midway between Fiji and
Samoa, has been chosen for the OBJ
serving station.
This island fortunately lies In the
center of the eclipse track.
Average
TINE year 1880 is an average year
i as eclipses go. Four is the aver
age number of eclipses to occur in
any year.
The minimum number which can
occur in any year is two, both OF
the sun.
The maximum number is seven,
either five of the sun and two of
the moon, or four of the sun and
three of the moon.
The reason for this is to be found
in the motions of the earth and
moon. The earth revolves around
the sun while the moon, in turn,
revolves around the earth.
Both the earth and moon cast
great cone-shaped shadows into
space.
When the earth is between the
sun and the moon, the moon is i'm
mersed in the earth'S shadow and
there is an eclipse of the moon.
When the moon is between the sun
and the earth, the moons shadow
falls on the earth and total
eclipse of the sun is visible within
the track of the moons shadow.
There would be an eclipse of the
sun at every new moon and an
eclipse &C the moon at every full
moon, If the moons orbit was in
the same plane as the earth's.
However, the moons orbit is
Tilted at an angle of five degrees
to the earths orbit. The two points
where the moons orbit crosses the
earth'S orbit are known as the
nodes. An eclipse can only occur if
new or full moon takes place when
the moon is at one of the nodes.
Due to certain irregularities In
the lunar motions, the nodes are
constantly westward. This is one
of the reasons why the number of
eclipses in any one year are not
necessarily the same as in the
previous year.

PLA ANS
DOOMED

The prospect of early action
by Congress on the establishment
of a municipal airport for Wash
ington has gone glimmering.
Support for the Highway bridge
site, which was approved by the
Senate at the last session OF
Congress, and which involves the
expansion of the consolidated
Hoover Field-Washington Air
port into a municipal port, is
steadily weakening, according to
observers at the Capitol.
Opposition to the Bingham
measure, which provided for the
Highway Bridge site and brought
local trade bodies into sharp
conflict with its senatorial spon-
sors last spring, is now SO strong
that the bill is regarded as hav-
ing no chance of favorable con-
Sideration in the House.
The local Chamber of Com
merce is receiving support for its
fight against the bill from sew
eral quarters, it was said today.
Both the Bureau of Public Roads
of the Department of Agriculture,
and the Fine Arts Commission
are "unofficially" against it.
The specific reason for their
opposition is' that the so-cailed
Senate airport site, north of the
Highway Bridge, will conflict
with plans for developing the Mt.

according to Ralph L. Goldsmith,
chairman of the Shop Early
Mail Early committee of the
Merchants and Manufacturers
Association.
A survey this week disclosed
that the early display of merchan-
disc by dealers, and the early Sc
lection by shoppers is mutually
satisfactory, according to Gold
smith, who insists that the change
in marketing habits has been
brought about by the customers
themselves.

DISTRICT PLANS
NUISANCE BAN

The District Commissioners
yesterday proposed legislation
giving them power to "clean up"
Washington.
The Commissioners had Cor
poration Counsel w. w. Bride
draft a bill giving the right to
declare as a nuisance any exca-
vation, debris, abandoned vehicle
or parts, any uncovered we'll on
any parcel of land. Under the
existing law the Commissioners
are powerless to abate conditions
detrimental to appearances Of
the city.
The proposed law would give
owners of such property five days
to abate the nuisance. Failure
would subject the owners to a
fine not to exceed $40 for each
days delay. When owners Of
property on which a nuisance"
exists are nonresidents, the Com
miSSionerS would be authorized to
publish a warning in newspapers
and after one week a fence could
be built around the property. The
cost of building the fence would
be assessed against the property.
The Commissioners sent a let
ter to Senator Arthur Capper,
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, asking him to foster
the bill.
