Photos Made Excellent

San Francisco. April 29 LPD Pho tographs of celestial phenomenon, the eclipse of the sun by the moon, were available to posterity today, thanks to roaring wind which at the critical moment swept aside a black cloud which had obscured the view
 The black cloud, apparently form ed by mist in the frigid air. startled scientists and their aviator assistants along the line of totality, stretching eastward across the Sierra moun- tains from just north of San Fran cisco. Shouts of bitter disappoint- ment greeted the dark blotch, but moment later a strong wind swept the cloud away and scores of cam- eras photographed the eclipse.
 The sky was blue one moment, as we were flying more than three miles above the earth, but the next mo- ment the cloud had formed" said J. M. r. Haase, United States navy photographer. "A moment later a roaring wind swept the black cloud away"

 The swift passage of the moons giant shadow was described by Cap tain A. w. Stevens and Lieut.. J. D. Corkille of the army air corps exper- imental laboratory of Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio.
 We were high above a layer of white clouds about 1S,0OO feet over Honey Lake in northern California" :" said Captain Stevens, suddenly we spied what we thought was a moun- tain about 75 miles in the distance.
 We knew it could not be a moun- tain for the highest peak in the vi cinity was about 5000 feet The dark spot appeared to be stationary at first. Then we saw it approaching shadow.
 ''The dark spot came slowly at first. We trained our motion picture camera upon it and started grinding out film. Faster and faster the shadow came on the clouds below. It passed beneath us so rapidly we could hardly perceive it. Turning our plane we photographed it as it dis appeared.
 The shadow appeared to be luminous and bluish purple and it's diameter was about three fourths of a. mile, with it's edges clearly de- fined.
 "A snowstorm was raging below the plane at the time of the eclipse, and the exhaust fumes from the plane froze and left long trailing streaks in the sky
 Temperature Drops
 The eclipse caused a noticeable drop in temperature to the scientists on the ground. As the sky darkened the air became chill, and an unearth- ly silence awed the spectators.
 As the moon moved across the face of the sun, astronomers of Lick Observatory and other scientists ob- tained an almost unobstructed view of the eclipse from vantage points near Honey Lake in northern Cali fornia.
 Hundreds of photographic records were made by the expeditions, the most comprehensive ever gathered to photograph an eclipse. The results of the expeditions pleased Dr. w. w. Campbell president of the University of California.
 The plates bearing pictures of the eclipse were taken to laboratories for minute examination of spectroscopic lines and comparison and checking of data.
 The brief totalty of the eclipse, Is seconds, did not shut off the suns light for a sufficient length of time to permit taking of the suns corona as in past eclipscs.

CORRECT PLAN FIRST STEP IN HEATING
Only Specialists Authorized to Install the Steel-riveted and Gas-tight Lennox Tor rid Zone Furnace

Proper planning and installation Is absolutely necessary if your fur mace is to perform satisfactorily. Every home presents a different problem. Every door and window means lost heat. The construction of your house, it's location and ex- posture, must also be considered.
 Accurate formulas governing pipe sizes and furnace capacities have been developed through years of experimental work at the Uni versity of Illinois, resulting in what is known as the Standard Code of the National Warm Air Heating Association. Torrid Zone dealers figure and install according to those formulas-and are granted the franchise solely on their ability to follow the scientific principles of the standard code.
 On proper installation the Len nox Furnace Company guarantees to replace any part of the Torrid Zone, except grates or liners, if it wears out within ten years from date of purchase. The average life, however, based on actual service records, is 21 years.

The question of handling brush
fires in Arlington county, long
one of the most destructive prop
erty forces, has grown as the
county has settled.
Each spring. with increasing
property losses, fires sweep over
open fields, frequently igniting
small patches of woods and more
frequently burning out-houses and
dwellings. 1t is a rare day that
the county volunteer firemen are
not called upon to fight from
one to half-dozen brush fires.
Often these fires are the most
difficult to combat, being far re.
moved from water sources, and
much of the fighting has to be
done with old sacks and green
pine brushes, which are used to
beat out the flames.
