Moon to Blot Out' Six Stars
 of the Pleiades February I4
By ROBERT H. BAKER

URBANA, Il, Feb. 5.--A fne. op- portunity to watch the moon occult stars will be offered on the eve
 ming of February IA.
 In two hours time during that
 evening the moon will pass over six of the brighter stars of the Pleiades in the western sky.
 For observation at Washington this interesting spectacle begins shortly after g o'clock, when the first star disappears behind the dark edge of the advancing moon. It ends soon after II o'clock, when the last star of the cluster to be
 hidden appears again at the bright western edge.
 But the scheduled times are dif- ferent for different parts of the country. To avoid missing some of the occultations it is well to be- gin watching at an early hour. If field glass is available. it can be used to advantage.
 At nightfall on February IA the familiar cluster of the Pleiades or seven sisters" can be found 1t- tie way south of the zenith. The
 moon, then at the quarter phase,
 will appear to the west of the clus- ter, moving toward it.
 In it's eastward motion among the cancellations the moon passes over it's own diameter in about an
 hour, and it proceeds in the direc- tion at right angles with the line separating it's bright and dark halves. Keeping these facts in mind one can estimate roughly when the occulations will begin. The stars will not. of course. dis appear at the ragged edge of the moon. The poet who pictured a tar bstween the horns of the cres-
 cent moon overlooked this fact. Such a sight can never be seen in the heavens.
 The star will disappear when he dark edge of the moon reaches them. An hour later, or less, they
 will come into view again at the
 bright edge.
 It is interesting to notice that
 the stars do not grow dim and red
 as the moon approaches. There
 are no atmospheric effects of the
 sort that we observe in the setting
 sun The disappearance is sud-
 den. Thus we are convinced tlhas
 the moon is not surrounded by an
 extensive atmosphere.
 The sudden disappearance of
 stars behind the moon shows also
 that, despite their enormous sizes,
 they are reduced by distance prac-
 tically to points of light. Other
 wise they would fade gradually,
 like the sun in eclipse.

DESCHLER HAS } TO KEEP BUSY TO AID GARNER j!
House Parlia m e ntarian Keeps Right Close to Important Job
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. B. These are busy days for bespec- tacled young chap in the House who is charged with the duty of keeping Speaker Jack Garner and other presiding officers in the mid- de of that sometimes treacherous parliamentary road. M
 Lewis Deschler, just past 30, is the right hand man for Garner and other temporary presiding of- ficers. of the House. Its up to him to see that the correct words are put into their mouths at the proper time. -
 With the political division so close as it is this Congress, the parhamentarian must be constant ly on his toes.
 It is very. easy for the House to get into parliamentary tangle There are those in the House notably the progressive blocp- who rely on their knowledge of the rules to gain advantage.
 Correct rulings frcm the cl1alr must at times be made quickly. It's Descfler's iicb to see that the chair is in a position to do SO.

THE LUDLOW VOTE

Disappointing but not surprising is the fact that
Congressman Louis Ludlow of the Indianapolis dis
trct voted against the bill in congress which would
raise the alcoholic content of beer and raise several
hundred millions of dollars for taxes which are now
going into the hands of the bootlegger.
How far the public taste may be satisfied with
the proposed beverage, if it should be legalzed by
the senate and the President remains to be SEEM
There can be no doubt as to the frame of mind
of the vast majority of people, in Indianapolis and
the nation, to the necessity of getting rid of Vol
steadism and finding some form of new taxation
that will relieve business from its burdens and the
individual from confiscatory income taxes
The public WILL unquestonably, recall that the
platform on which Congressman Ludlow was elected
called for such measure as we'll as the submission
for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. That was.
however, for his next term, not this one and he
will probably find an explanation or an excuse in
this fact.
The redeeming feature of the matter is that his
vote was not decisive. Otherwise a misrepresenta-
ton of public sentiment in Indianapolis might have
had a national result.

THURSDAY. DEC "a. 1889.
CLEARING THE DECKS

The resignation Of two members Of the public
service commission clears the decks for the redemp-
ton Of promises made BY Paul McNutt to turn that
board into an instrument for public protection
While 1t is true that the public utilities have usu-
ally always found sanctuary in the federal courts,
it is more true that for years the membership Of
that commission has been most satisfactory to the
promoter type of utility.
The commission has slumbered while capitaliza-
tons have been written up to fantastic figures and
investors have been led to give their money the
basis Of earnings upon these fictitious values.
An alert commission would have prevented these
forays against the public purse.
All that Is in the past During his campaign,
Mr. McNutt pledged that he would discharge every
member of the commission. The then Commissioner
Cuthbertson challenged his threat or promise and
made most vicious attack upon the candidate. He
was recognized as speaking for the other members
He is no longer Commissioner Cuthbertson, being
the first to scury before the certainng of impending
disaster.
Now Commissioners McCardle and West find it
convenient resign in advance of the Inauguration
OF the new Governor That leaves but two of the old
order
However, merely changing the, personnel of the
commission, welcome as it is, will not be the COM
plete answer to the plea of the public for real re-
lief from utility charges in times when it becomes
increasingly difficult to pay bills for these necessities
of life.
The utilities have easy job to pay dividends
on their borrowed capital AS customers are lost
through failure to pay, need for services dinin-
ish they must take the attitude that the theory of
regulation guarantees them a return and that there
fore rates should go up instead of down, in times
of general depression
The situation occasioned by opportunity or a
new regulatory body also indicates that the public
will be driven to other steps in order to obtain the
very essential utility services at price which can
be paid
One of the other pledges is for an easy road to
public ownership. The necessity for such a program
becomes more apparent.
If a new commission selected with due regard
for social attitude of mind rather than utility
hypnotism, fails to bring relief, the public will be
compelled to take over the services and operate
them for their own benefit.
