Not Approve Payment
for Material.

Complaint of taxpayers in the
vicinity of Cumberland that a con-
tractor charged an %exorbitant price
for gravel sold to Marion county
brought a statement today from
Charles W. Mann, county highway
superintendent, that he would not
approve a claim of $7O8.12, filed by
the contractor, w. T. Macdonald.
Investigation reveals that gravel
which Macdonald took from pits on
the farm of John Kitley, near Ju-
lietta hospital, was sold to the
county for 81 cents a cubic yard,
although gravel could have been
obtained from pits nearby at 25 to
80 cents a yard. =.

John Allison was detailed.
Cameron asserts Ambuhl is eX-

Anyway, what does Cameron
need with three bailiffs?" Morrissey
asked.
Cameron showed his resentment
early this week when he continued
cases of nearly a dozen motorists
charged with failure to stop at pref
erential streets. He said the cases
could not be handled properly with

A PERIOD of just 100 precious
IA seconds-not to be repeated
again for thirty-one years!
Observers in the United States
and Canada should look carefully
at the total eclipse Of the sun on
Wednesday, Aug. 81, for they will
not see such an awe-inspiring
spectacle again until July 20,
1868.
Still that's not as bad as it
might be.
Up to just a couple of weeks
ago, astronomers were saying that
another total eclipse of the sun
would not be visible in the United
States and Canada until Oct. II,
1897, Which is sixty-fve years
hence.
Then they made a startling dis
covery. And that discovery makes
an interesting story. 1t goes this
way:
Back in 1887, DR.. Theodore Won
Oppolzer, an Austrian astronomer,
completed the monumental task
of charting and mapping 5000
eclipses of the sun from the 1907
B. c. to 2162 A. D. He published
his charts and maps in book form.
WON OPPOLzER'S book has
' been the bible of every as
tronomer dealing with eclipses. OF
course, his calculations were ap-
proximate, but considering the
immense magnitude of his work
they were remarkable.
His calculations put the next
total eclipse, visible in the above
mentioned area, in the year 1897.
Until just recently, astronomers
accepted that without question.
But a few weeks ago experts
connected with the United States
nautical almanac began a new
check of DR.. Won OppoIzer's CAL
culations.
To their surprise, t -ese new CAL
culations showed that there will
be another total eclipse visible in
the said area only thirty-one years
hence.
The eclipse of July 20, 1868,
aStronimers say, will follow ap-
proXimately the same path as this
years eclipse.
1t will sweep out of the north
west, cut across the southwest
edge of Hudson bay, pass over
Maine and disappear in the At
lantic ocean.
In 1945, 1854 and 1859 small
eclipses will be visible in the
United States, but there will be
none of Importance until 1868.
II Il 4
THE 1882 eclipse will begin at
Il sunrise on the Arctic ocean.
1t will sweep northward to with
i'll a few hundred miles of the
north pole, then swing southeast
across northern Canada, Hudson
bay, province of Quebec, enter

the United States over northwest
ern Vermont, New Hampshire and
southeastern Massachusetts.
Then it will pass out over the
Atlantic and end in midocean at
sunset.
The largest city in the path of
totality-that narrow belt where
the sky is completely balckened
is Montreal.
Just outside the edge of the
path is Boston, where the eclipse
will be almost total; in New York,
the sun will be 95 per cent OBJ
Scured. Other cities, depending
on their location, will see varying
degrees of obscurity of the sun.

Rare Spectacle VIII Be Visible to City Residents August 81

When the moon completely blots
out the great orb, a rim of red
fire appears around it. This is
the upper atmosphere, or chro-
mosphere, of the sun. ordinarily
invisible because of the glare Of
light.
Shooting out into space from
the chromosphere are great
tongues of crimson fire. Surround
ing all this is a silvery halo
called the corona.
The corona can be seen only
during a total eclipse, and that is
why astronomers work so fever
ishly to observe and photograph
it while they can. During the
last fifty years. they have had
less than a total of thirty minutes
in which to do this.

TXTHEN the last trace of the
w sun has disappeared Tin the
belt of totality) and the moons
shadow has engulfed the Specta-
tor, the scene is awe-inspiring.
Often the temperature drops,
sometimes dew falls, strange
breezes spring up, seemingly diff
ferent from the breezes of normal
day or night.
Flowers close, birds go to rest,
animals in the fields and woods
seek refuge. cattle grow restless
and dogs often set up howlS.
The sky is only about half as
bright as that of a full moon.
Often the darkness is so intense
that it is impossible to tell the
time by a watch
Far off on the horizon an or
ange ~afterglow effect is seen;
it is the weak sunlight shining
on the world outside the path of
totality.
Stars appear overhead, the
eclipsing moon seems to hang in
the heavens like a giant cannon
ball, with apparently nothing to
keep it from falling on the earth.

sun is totally obscured at a given
place-iS just 100 seconds. There
fore, scientists must work fast.
But for nearly an hour before
and an hour after the maximum
of the eclipsed is reached, there is
a period resembling twilight.
For example, at Portland, Me

The moon casts a great, cone
shaped shadow on the earth. At
the point of this shadow the
eclipse is total; outside that COM
paratively narrow track, it is only

AS the moon moves in front of
the sun, the disc of sun disap-
pears from view. First, the sun
is only partly overlapped, then
completely.

the eclipse becomes total, the
moons shadow comes sweeping
over the landscape from the west
Suddenly, the eclipse becomes

OUlAPu fTesA EtdH correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The
federal government is in the midst
of a vigorous campaign to rally all
social welfare agencies to the task
Of salvaging the 200, 900 members of
Americas army of Nomad children.
The factor of time is all-impor-
tant in this struggle, officials say,
because if the wanderers are al
lowed to remain too long on the
road, they will become confirmed
in the ways Of the hobo and are
likely to form a permanent army of
social parasites.
Using the double edged sword of
research and publicity, the children's
bureau of the department of labor
hopes to rouse cities and states
to the gravity of the plight of
100000 minors, driven from their
homes by the business depression.
Publicity Is Advocated
"a campaign of publicity is need
ed" said DR.. A. w. McMillen of the
University of Chicago, who did field
work for the children's bureau. I'VE
must impress parents and teachers
with the suffering and hazards the
boys face. We also must have a
national remedy.
There should be a national
transient service fund, to be al
lotted to towns and cities which
can prove that they have a transient
problem they can not meet unaided.
McMillen approved of 3 circular
sent by Postmaster General Walter
Brown, to be placed in all postof1ces,
warning minors of the dangers of
leaving home with no jobs or set
destination in view.
In Cotton, CAL" he continued,
"a citizen, impressed by the plight
of the boy wanderers, set aside a
field for a Jungle Neither local nor
railroad police are allowed to enter
it,"
Keep Them at Home
The children's bureau makes these
suggestions:
Additional research would be of
relatively little value. The need is
for action. The situation calls for
two types of community activity
one preventive, n protective.
1.-The object of the preventive
campaign is to induce boys to re-
main at home. Every boy persuad-
ed to stay at home is a clear gain,
from his own and from the public
welfare point of view. All social
workers may help by bringing per-
sonal influence to bear upon boys
who show signs of restlesSness.
In all publicity on this subject
great are must be taken to rob the
open road of the glamour which
it naturally holds for the venture
some lad.
Despite all these efforts, many
boys will continue to take to the
road. For such, protection from as
many of the moral and phySica.
hazards as possible should be
afforded. Communities should pro-
vide shelter and food of acceptable
quality. Boys should be passed or
to the next town, but there should
be a training program"
Death No Terror
The bureau is particularly inter
ested in eliminating the state o.
mind illustrated by this incident
A railroad detective had been try.
ing to get some of the boy wanderer,
off a freight train. They refused
to go. so he took out his pistol anc
said he would shoot if they did no
leave.

age. Excepting those not citizens or
residents prior to January, 1881,
these are all "taXables" under the
law and should make return to the
Tax Department. Since November,
1880, an exhaustive search to in
crease the names listed to equal the
census resulted in the addition of
1882 taxables and corrections of
1907 names of former taxables or
non-eXistent persons. The total
names corrected or added amounted
to 32,829. In November, 1881, the
corrected list contained the names
of 1858. The tax list is still 1924
short of the census total.
However, investigation of the list
of voters registered in Wilmington
includes S,30S names and in the re-
of the State, 2,135 names of
persons not in existence. No doubt
many of these names also appear on
the census list, which fact may ac-
count for a large part of the differ
