too much reluctance on the part
of banks, trust companies. inSur-
ance companies, and others to

40 eclipse expeditions along the
path of totality. The second
camera has a 40-inch tense. The
third camera has a 14-inch lens.

LICK To SHOOT
SUMS FLASH

FRYE BURG, Me, Aug. 80
G.N.SD The most priced posses
sion of the Lick Observatory
eclipse expedition here to shoot"
the eclipsed sun tomorrow is the
first device ever perfected for tax
ing motion spectrum pictures Of
the suns corona.
Built according to the design of
Prof. J. H. Moore and his assist
ants, the instrument is intended
for use throughout the total
eclipse period of 81 seconds, but
particularly for the three-second
periods at each end of the period
of totality.
At these periods a flash occurs
in the atmosphere of the sun. A
sort of profile view of the suns
atmosphere is obtained, and, prop
erly photographed, much can be
learned of the composition of the
lower LAYERS next the suns surface.

REMOTE
Mrs. Mccormick Provided for
Loss of Inheritance If
Contests Arise

CHICAG ILL.,, Aug. 30
(LN.S.) .-Because of his I'M
selfish sacrifice for the sake
of a beautiful friendship, "
Edwin D. Krenn fell heir to
five-twelfths of the estate Of
the late Mrs. Edith Rookie
Teller Mccormick, it was dis
closed today.
Unfolding a story of devotion
and faith between Chicago's First
Lady, and the youthful Swiss
architect, former Judge Charles
S. Cutting, who drew up Mrs. Nc
Cormick's will, revealed that
Krenn turned over to the late
society queen $1,260,O00 worth of
securities ain an emergency a
year ago." Judge Cutting ex-
planned:
"He said it was all he had,
but that Mrs. Mccormick was
welcome to anything he
possessed if he could help"
Will Blocks Contest
Analysis of Mrs. Mccormick
last testament, filed for probate
yesterday afternoon, indicated
that the executor of the estate
may have the power to nullify
the agreement between Krenn
and his former partner, Edward
A. Dato, under which the archi-
tect surrendered his portion of
the inheritance for a lifetime
annuity of $4,000.
AtteSting further to Mrs. Nc
Cormick's complete faith in the
architect, whom she met decade
ago in a Swiss psychological
clinic, was another unusual pro-
vision stating that any heir who
starts legal contest over the will
shall automatically surrender his
or her portion of the inheritance
to Krenn.
The architect is the reSiduary
legatee, seven-twelfths of the for
tune going to Mrs. McCormick's
children. Under terms of the
will, her elder daughter, Mrs.
Muriel Hubbard receives four
tWelfths of the estate: her young
er daughter, Mrs. Mathilde Oser,
tWotWelfths, and her son, Fowler
Mccormick, one-twelfth.
Uncover New Pact
Another agreement placing en-
tire control of Mrs. Mccormick
properties in the hands of Dato
was disclosed today. This is a
management agreement between
Krenn and Dato and Mrs. McCor-
mick. giving exclusive handling of
the interests of John d. Rookie
feller's daughter to the real estate
firm.
Since Krenn, close companion
of Mrs. Mccormick, has signed
his share in the firm and his
five-twelfths interest in the es-
tate to Dato, the latter will be in
control of the properties, lawyers
said.
1t was said that no necessity
will arise to warrant full exercise
of its executors powers by the
Chicago Title and Trust Company
to the extent of removing Dato
from his position as trustee of the
Edith Rockefeller Mccormick
trust.

HEADQUARTERS, HAIR
WARD ECLIPSE EXPEDI-
TION, GRAY, Me, Aug. 30
G.N.S.) 1T is impossible to
forecast a total solar eclipse.
AS with people, so with
eclipses, no two are ever alike.
Each has its good and bad fea-
lures, its favorable and un-
favorable characteristics.
For tomorroW's great event we
may put as the very first of the
favorable features the fact that
the eclipse is ours, it's far-tlung
shadow falls not on a Pacific
atoll. not a barren Australian
beach, but on our own home
land. The season is propitious
also, for it is in the height of
the summer holiday, when Scien-
tific folks of all nations are free
to travel far and wide.
Duration to Be Short
The site is accessible not only
to us in America. but near our
largest seaports, where astrono-
mers of other nations land.
There are. however, some fea-
lures about this eclipse which are
not so favorable. In the first
place, there is the short duration
of totality-only one minute and
a half at best, too brief for all
that is to be done. Why is it, we
ask. have all the long total
eclipses of our day, those lasting
five or six minutes, chol.n to
trail across such far-aWay places
as Central Africa, Sumatra, Pata-
gonia, or Tin Can Island?
Also unfavorable to tomorrow'S
program is it that the sun, which
is in Leo, will be in a poor star
field, where a sufficient number
of bright stars are not near
enough to the sun to make it
worth while to try for further
confirmation of the Einstein de-
Election of light. This is more i'm
portant. now that some germane
measures of plates made at the
1929 eclipse have, as it were, out
Einsteined Einstein by showing
greater DETECTION of star light
than relatively allows. Other
forces may be involved. Who
knows?
Weather Is Uncertain
On which side shall we list the
weather? 1t is now the all-im-
portant and wholly uncertain fac
tor. We know that the eclipse
will occur only a few seconds be-
fore or after the predicted time,
but meteorologists tell us that we
have only an even chance for
clear sky. We rehearse our pro-
gram and live in high hopes.
At any rate, astronomers of
many lands have come to Amer
lea to Guido the Incas of old in
worship of the sun. 1 am asked
why a real astronomer is a seeker
after knowledge. He believes that
all knowledge is useful and will
in the end concern mankind,
