TINE worlds chief authority upon
l. the motions of the moon is
Professor F. w. Brown Of Yale uni
versity, president of the American
Astronomical Society.
He sometimes is referred TO IA
cetiously as the man who controls
the motions of the moon.
DR.. Brown worked out the equa-
tons from which it is possible to
predict the position of the moon at
any future date.
without his tables, for example. it
would be impossible TO predict the
details Of the coming eclipse Of the
sun with anything like the accuracy
with which such predictions can be
made.
DR.. Brown devoted forty years to
working out the equations for the
moons motions.
Many factors had to be taken into
account in working out these tables,
First of all, the moons orbit is
flattened circle or eclipse. This
means the moons distance from
the earth varies, Inc closer the
moon is to the earth, the more
rapidly it moves.
Irregularities next are introduced
by the pull Of the sun. The earth
is closer to the sun at some times
than others. This affects the moons
motion.
Next, irregularities introduced In
the orbits of both the earth and
the moon by the pull Of the planets
have to be taken into account.
still other irregularities result
from the fact that the earth Is not
perfect sphere but bulges at the
equator.
And there were numerous other
factors to be considered, enough of
them to keep DR.. Brown at work
for forty years.

DIXIES MEMORIAL DAY
April rs

ON April 26, 1866, a group of
~ women meeting at the home
of Mrs. John Tyler in Columbus,
Ga, originated the idea of Con-
federate Memorial day. Although
most of the states in the Union now
observe the day on May 80, Ala
CANA, Florida. Georgia and Missis-
Sippi still adhere to the original
April Is.
The women who met with Mrs.
Tyler organized what was named
the Ladies' Memorial Association, it
being the continuation Of what had
been. for five years or more the
Soldiers Aid Society.
After the meeting the group went
TO Linwood Memorial cemetery, in
Columbus, where formal exercises
we're held. There they pledged TO
carry on the task of decorating the
graves of the soldier dead on the
same day Of each year.
Soon Memorial day associations
sprung up all over the south and in
two years the spirit invaded the
north. On May 80, 1868, General
John A. Logan. commander chief
Of the Grand Army Of the Republic,
issued an order that every post
should hold fitting ceremonies and
scatter tokens of respect on the
graves Of dead comrades.
Ultimately the day became a
legal holiday. Alabama was the
first state officially to observe Me-
mortal day and New York the first
state To declare it a legal holiday.

The World Changes

DRIvATE enterprise is not what
Il it was 100, or even fifty, years
ago. Pooled wealth and mass pro-
duction have changed the industrial
set-up and the problems it involves.
Economic justice no longer can be
administered on a man-to-man
basis.
Because some individuals have
surrendered their sovereignty for the
sake of forming corporations, others
are forced to surrender their SOW
ereignty for the sake Of collective
bargaining.
On evrey hand, people are mobi-
LIKING in constantly increasing groups
to get those very things which once
were obtainable by individual eff
fort, and we are trying to solve sub
way problems through oxcart con-
ceptions Of law.

The fact that we are different is

Plane Win Race Shadow of
Moon When Sun Goes Into
Eclipse Neat Week.

A N airplane race with the moons
L n shadow will be feature Of the
eclipse of the sun, April %. But
there is no secret about the out
come OF the race. The velocity OF
the moons shadow is almost half
mile a second.
The race is chiefly to increase the
period during which the total phase
Of the eclipse can be observed.
An eclipse of the sun is caused
by the moon passing directly be
tween the earth and the sun.
The moon casts q long cone
shaped shadow into space. The
eclipse is total within the track on
the earth's surface over which this
cone-shaped shadow passes.
Width Of the track varies because
the distance of the moon from the
earth fluctuates. When the moon is
nearest the earth, the track has its
maximum width-l67 miles.
In the eclipse of April % the tip
Of the cone-shaped shadow just
manages to strike the earths sur
face. Consequently, the track is less
than mile wide.
Length of the period Of totality
also varies in eclipSes, In the COM
ing eclipse it is extremely short
about l 1-20th seconds long.
The airplane is to carry an OBJ
server equipped with an aStronom-
ical camera and also a movie,
camera.
BY flying in the same direction
that the shadow is moving, the
plane will succeed in increasing
slightly the period Of totally for
the observer.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-04-26

TIME ACCESSIBILITY of having an
Il observer in the plane to make
a movie of the moons shadow as it
moves along the surface of the earth
also is being considered.
In the case Of every eclipse, aStro~
nomical obServatories are glad to
hear from amateur observers who
were near the outer edge OF the
eclipse track. The information
wanted is the exact location of the
observer and whether the eclipse
was total at his station.
From this information. It Is pos
sible to determine with greater pre-
cision the boundaries of the track.
This in turn furnishes informa-
ton from which astronomers can
calculate the exact position and
movement of the moon during the
eclipse.
This is important because there
still are certain irregularities in the
motions Of the moon which are not
accounted for. Information OBJ
tanned during IN eclipse is valu-
able check upon present theories
Of the moons motion and furnishes
data for corrections in mathemati-
cal tables of the moons motions.
1t is thought that a movie of the
eclipse track, that is a movie of the
ground showing the motion of the
mons shadow across it, might fur
nish particularly accurate data.
1t would be possible, of course, to
identify objects in the movie and
then determine their exact latitude
and longitude later, either from
maps or subsequent observations.
There Is some question, however.
IS to just how sharply the edge of
the track would be defined In such
a move.

6. During first year, wages shall
not be reduced If gross profit de-
clines.
Z. Each industry shall establish
a local commission for the opera
ton Of this plan.
This plan will make employer
and employe real partners and it
will increase the efficiency of labor,
reduce production costs and there
by increase gross profits, from
which both will share. Then as
production increases, wages will in
crease and always will be in the
same relation to profits, which will
enable wage earners to buy back
their share of production. This is
only condensed synopsis of this

to hear from employers and others
who are interested and would like

made two statements about
Schmeling that are of particular
interest at this time.
He said first that the. fighter
was far from popular in the
Fatherland and that so far his
bid for the greatest title within
the gift of boxing had left the
German populace unmoved. His
second observation had to do with
Schmeling's condition, which he
said was not only good. but
excellent.

UNION
THAT BINDS
STR|BLINGS
BY JACK DEMPSEY !

BY JACK DEMPSEY
Every SO often a father decides
to manage his pugilistic. son. The
arrangement usually ends up IN
quick wrecking of the boys
career, and then the. experts in
sist that it is; all wrong for 9
father to pilot the fistic destiny
Of his, boy, I cannot quite agree
with that.
IT is my. thought that the
failure Is, not due to anything
other than chat the boy never
had much. ability to begin with,
or the father knew little OF moth
ing, about the technique Of the
game. In cases where a boy has,
real greatness and the father is
experienced in ring affairs the
result usually is prosperous, as In
the case ef Young Stribling.
Pa Stribling was a boxing
student In his. youth. He learned
all about the act Of hooking and
uppercutting and training. When
Bill Striking grew old enough to
start professional fighting, Pa
didn't pitch him too high, as is
the case with other fathers. 4 Pa
sent Bill against the soft ones
and, as Bill kept on winning, he
moved him up a. notch or two and
matched him with tougher and
still tougher opposition.
In the end, when Stribling
has gained his full height
and weight, and was as pol
ished as . ring man could be.
Pa turned him loose against
all corners. The result Of the
ARRANGEMENT has been that
Strib has hauled In about
100000 during his career,
although never q champion.
And Strib today, say what they
viii, is the most feared Of heavy
weights. They'll scott about him
but they won't fight him. Strib
is open to fight anybody any,
where, but the boys take to the
storm cellars when he losses
around defieS.
The success of Patterson ar
rangement depends upon both
being good in their particular
line. Bill Stribling's success
under the management Of his
father proves that Bill had the
fighting ability and Pa the
managerial skill that was so vital.
Unless both are good in their
own line, the result, naturally, is
not so. good.
Pa also manages his young
est son, Babe Stribling. He
has employed the same meth
DDS with Babe as he has with
Bill. Babe has mixed In more
than $50 fights. But he still
il . preliminary battler in the
big towns and does q head
line act only in the small
towns in the South.
Thus we have proof that even
90 great a manager as Pa cannot
accomplish anything spectacular
If the material in hand cannot be
moulded into fighting greatness.

If those eight golfers who go
abroad to represent the United

match expect to step out" during

will have to dig down in their

The munificent sum Of $500
donated by the U. s. q. A. toward
their expenses will just about pay
for tips and caddie fees, with
possibly enough left over for a
passport and a visa Or two.
s. In other words. the national
association isn't going to take any
chances of being called to order
by the A. A. U. for permitting the
golfers to run UP extravaganza
expense accounts.
