umbra, or darkest part of the shadow which produces the total eclipse, will brush the earths sur- face for only 38 minutes, from a point near San Francisco to south ern Montana.
 Along this short stretch the eclipse will be total, and the suns corona and scarlet prominences will be visible for but very short time.
 The greatest duration of totality at any place will be only a second and half.
 Elsewhere along the central track the eclipse will be annular, that is to say, the moon will pass central ly before the sun, but it will appear slightly smaller, leaving thin ring of the sun uneclipsed.
 The fraction of the suns disk oc- culted by the moon at the middle of the eclipse, decreases with increas-

 At Denver, for example, 78 per- cent of the suns diameter will be obscured; at Chicago GA per cent, at New York 54 per cent and at Atlanta 36 per cent. The total duration of the eclipse at these places is between two and three hours.
 The lunar eclipse will present about the same appearance every where in the United States.

 Each Of the three powers, Japan, England and the United States agreed to retain one capital ship for training purposes, which have been destined to scrapping.

James Hamilton Lewis Is Nominated for Senate
 by Democrats

CHICAGO, H., April 10.- COngresswOman Ruth Hanna Mccormick, daughter of Mark Hanna and wife of former Medill Mccormick, from the crest of a 100000 majority accorded h CT in Tuesdays State primaries, looked for ward to a strenuous cam paign in which the Prohibit ton question will be forced to the front.
 la m c s Hamilton Lewis, Democratic Senatorial candi- date, will exchange thrusts with Mrs. Mccormick who had the support of the Anti Saloon League in the primary esaapaigT.
 United States Senator Charles s. Deneen, the nine teenth Senator who voted for American adherence to the World Court, met defeat in the Mccormick landslide, one of the largest majorities ever given a Senatorial candidate.
 The landslide also resur- rected Mayor Thompson's City and County Republican allies from the grave to which the Deneen followers consigned them two years ago.

COOLIDGE SAYS PUBLIC OFFICE
 OVER FOR HIM
Never Again Will Seek Public Ofice-Prohibi-
 ton Issue to Last Long

NEW YORK, April 10.-Ex- -Presi- dent Calvin Coolidge, in a copy rlghtod article in the May issue of the Cosmopolitan Magazine, writes: If were in the Senate it would probably not be agreeable to many of my colleagues, and wloh all my desires to be helpful it would prob ably oftimes be an embarrassment to the Administration"
 ncerning Prohibition, MT. Coolidge said Considering that people have differed most radically on the best method of regulating the sale of liquor for generations, it is not likely to be settled for long time to come"
 No Public Office
 Regarding suggestions that he become a candidate for public off, flee, the former President said;
 "As long as I live and remain in normal health no doubt shall continue to be discussed as a candi- date for some public office. No sooner had I reached home than lit was proposed in some of the press that I should try to go to the Sen ate. Every little while some one suggests that I should again be President.
 %TheSe efforts come for the most part from sources that are friendly to me, but not from those who have my confidence. So far as I know my close friends who know my wishes are in no way responsi- ble for them. I have tried to avoid giving them even the countenance of notice.
 "They will no doubt persist. If I were to make formal denial of them they would reappear in few days under the assumption that my attitude for some reason had changed. For that reason I have simply ignored them.
 When I left Washington I left public office. It is an incompre- hensible relief and I have no in tention of returning to it."
 No Prospect of Repeal Enforcement, wrote MT. Coolidge, is necessary under the law and may be one element of determining the future course of action in relation to Prohibition No law on this sub- ject has ever been free from criti- i cism So long as the human ap- petite for stimulants on the one side, and for money on the other ! side, remain what they are, there are likely to be some violations for i the prohibition law. If, judging by the past. this agitation is destined i to continue for into the future, at tended by considerable fanticism on both sides, the question arises as to what attitude the people can take concerning it. We have the amendment. There is no immedi- ate prospect for it's repeal"
 If, he added, people generally would take the attitude of Lincoln toward slavery, the Prohibition is- sue would be abated Lincoln, he asserted, was opposed to slavery disagreed with the principle em- bodied in the Fugitive Slave Law though the decision of the Supreme Court regarding property rights 1T slaves to be unsound, yet urged compliance with the law as lons as it remained unchanged.
