Surely, there can be no greater author

silk manufacturers themselves. They
analysed Palmolive Beads in their own
laboratories. They tested them again
and again in washing tests on the silks
which they manufacture. And now all
of them recommend Palrnolive Beads
for safe washing of silks.

Today's eclipse is Of special
interest because of it's shortness'
The longest possible eclipse lasts
71a minutes. This eclipse will go
down in the records as the last
total solar eclipse visible in the
western United States for 81
years.
Saw Eclipse in Georgia
I observed my first eclipse in
1900, at GAINESVILLE, Ga, with the
United States Naval Observatory
eclipse party. Today's eclipse is
the last I expect to see as well
as the first have seen without
having to confine my attention to
scientific observing
An eclipse such as this presents
two paradoxes. The first para
dox is that the suns atmosphere
can be best studied when the sun
is hidden behind the moon, thus
cutting off the suns glare. The
second paradox Ii in the fact
that while the chemistry of the
earth and the chemistry Of the
remotest stars are the same,
geometry is not the same through
out the universe.

solitary confinement. He added:
"And whoever else who pops
up his head"
All survivors of the Inflated
G and H cell block were removed
from the prison chapel which
they had been occupying instead
of cells.
Tension was high at the prison,
and environS. Machine guns
were mounted on nearby buildings
and trained on the entrance to
the antiquated jail.
While Columbus police were
carrying out the warden's ulti-
matum, additional soldiers were
made advailable in case OF open
riot.
All kinds of rumorS filled the
air. One was that prisoners had
been discovered digging through
the concrete wall beneath the
warden's office. The warden
found the report incorrect.
Col. Robert Haubrich, in COM
mand of the troops outside the
prison. declared:
''NO soldier will be sent in
side unless it is absolutely neceS-
sary."
PeephOIes Aid Reporters
Reporters were forbidden in
side the walls, but were able to
get a clear view Of the prison
yard through peepholes. They
also could see from a window in
the warden's kitchen. Guards
came in from time to time and
reported to the warden on "the
situation"
Gov. Myers Y. Cooper, who
was in the executive offices at
the StatehouSe, about O mile from
the penitentiary, was appriSed Of
what was tranSpi-ing by Colonel
Haubrich, who telephoned him.
The convictS Sullenly acquiesced
to all orders from the police.
One of the ringleaders put in
solitary confinement was Thomas
Gerak, who participated in the
break for liberty at the Ohio Peni-
tentiary on November 8, 1925,
when 13 convictS shot their way
out of the prison. Gerak was
recaptured.
Another put in solitary confine-
ment was WILDER Penty, Cleveland
gangster, serving one to is years
for robbery.
Warden Raps Fire Chief
Nerves became frayed. Warden
Thomas engaged in q verbal tilt
with Fire Chief A. E. Nice. The
latter remarked that he didn't
want the warden to think the
testimony he gave at the Cover
nor'S inquiry was intended aS
detrimental to him and the war
den snapped back:
81 cannot take it in any other
light than that"
Shortly before IL q. m, the
prison authorities began to re
move 26 of the ringleaders from
the solitary cells here to the
stockade at the London Prison
Farm, about IS miles from Co
lumbus.
They were placed in two Army
trucks. Four guards carrying
shotgunS were put on each truck
and they were followed by ar
automobile load Of heavily armed
guards.

Quinlan had previously stated
that the prisoners campaign

From the stockade, Quinlan

part of the convictS changed
quickly to one Of acquleSence

a few of the grumblerS without
much ceremony. They, too, were

Warden Thomas quoted th'
words of three former President
of the United States in deScrih

referred to the words Of Theodor
Roosevelt, who said:
"Speak kind words and carry
q big stick"
The warden added that thi
policy is now in vogue.
He then quoted the words ono
uttered by President Woodrow
Wilson:
"The period of watchful wait
ing is at an end. The majesty
of the law must be upheld at

And, with a significant nod %

Shortly. after sunrise the camp
was a scene Of act.sity as DR.
Seth /. Nicholson of the Mount
Wilson staff and his associates
finished their preliminary work.
Meanwhile, pursuing its Jour-
ney 100000 miles out in space
from the earth, the moon was
approaching the place in the sky
occupied by the sun.
When the moon reaches that
spot at 11:06 o'clock today 1t will
hide the sun from view for Ia
seconds.
The first sign Of the approach
ing eclipse. visible to the unaided
eye, was to be a small apparent
dent of blackness on the Western
limb or edge Of the sun. That
dent will grow until all Of the sun
becomes obscured.
Then the moon will slowly pass
to the Eastward Of the sun. The
dent will grow smaller until about
1890 o'clock here and in most
Pacific coast cities, the sun will
again shine with full radiance.
Pass Into Ocean
More easterly parts Of the
United States will continue to see
the eclipse until the moons
shadow departs from the earth
at a point in the Atlantic Ocean
east Of New York about ! o'clock
Pacific time, or 4 o'clock this aft
ernoon, Eastern time.
From two to seven times each
year the moons wanderings bring
it in line with the sun and earth
Always when that is true, an
eclipse, either of the sun or moon
is visible somewhere on the earth.

"Man In Gray Cap" Theory,

numbers of which are in posses

Woman Theory Survives
A second theory is that Miss
Baker and her companion were
surprised on a lonely road on the
Department of Agriculture expert
mental farm, by jealous wife
who attacked the girl and then
fired the three. shots into her
body.
This theory, advanced the
morning the girls body was found
in a culvert, near the Arlington
cemetery wall by Sheriff Howard
B. Fields, is supported only by q
parallel case in Baltimore several
years ago.
A third theory is that man
who stayed in an Alexandria ho-
tel for several days prior to the
murder and then on the after
noon Of April II; vanished leav-
ing his handbag and . number
of personal effects, knows about
the Staying and is in hiding.
II has been learned definitely
by police that Miss Baker and
man, described as being about S5
years old. Of stocky build ana
wearing a gray cap, met ct her
parked car near Seventeenth and
3 Sts. Northwest, and after en-
tering her car seemed to engage
in a quarrel.
According to Mr.. and MRS.
Hugh Wood, the man seemed to
he enraged and was punching the
girl in her left side. This was
the last time that the girl was
seen alive. The man answers the
description given by Park Police
man william Hammond Of Q man
who had frequent meetingS with
Miss Baker. Hammond also sup
plied two numerals Of the license
tag on the car this man drove.
A check is being made by police
on all cars Of the type driven BY
the man which are registered IN
Maryland.
Following out the theory ad-
vanced by Fields, Investigators
are endeavoring to narrow down
the list Of married men with
whom Miss Baker was on friendly
terms and to again check their
movements on the night Of the
crime as well as those Of their
wives.
Similar Cases Cited
In discussing the murder Fields
said:
"It is surprising to me that
there have not been more cases
Of the kind. We have had re-
ports on many occasions Of
QuarreIs between wives and
women caught with their hus-
bands on the very road Miss
Bakers body was found, but
they never were serious enough
to follow down as they did not
reach the point Of actual
assault.
81 am still of the opinion that
When the woman Is IOunu CnaC
the murderer of the Eaker girl
will be located through her.
No one knows the time or place
of the murder and Of course
once these are fixed q step
ahead will have been taken
which will undoubtedly lead to
the slayer"
Police attach little significance
to the Alexandria clue. A man
stopping at q hotel there did tell
a number Of conflicting stories to
different firms in Alexandria as to
the nature Of his business, but
this is believed by police to have
been more or less a cover for some
other activity.
The trip made to Oak Grove,
Va, home town of the slain girl,
by Policeman Hugh Jones, of
Arlington County, has furnished
police with valuable information,
according to Commonwealth At.
torney William c. Cloth. The
nature of the information he
would not divulge.
