What You Will See
 In Eclipse Of Sun And How To See It

It will pay you to do this. You will see something remarkable.
 Don't be surprised If the wind changes it's direction and it's velo. city during the eclipse. The temper. ature will also drop.
 After the sun is completely blot ted out by the shadow of the moon, you will see the most wonderful spectacle of the eclipse-the Co., roma. Beautiful long streamers of pearl colored light radiate across the darkened heavens. Very in- tense brilliant arcs of light dart from the vicinity of the poles of the sun. Pay close attention to the corona for 1t Is the prima donna of this celestial opera of color and light. .
 sAt the same tifne; glance around the darkened heavens and note the brilliant stars and planets plainly visible.
 Just above the sun is Denebola. Close aboard to the right is the magnificent planet Jupiter. Below Jupiter is Regulus and off to the right are the twins, Castor and Pol lux.
 Just as suddenly as its disap- peared you will again see the sum light streaming through the vai- leys of the moon permitting you to see again the Bailey's Beads. Quickly, the beads are joined and again you see the thin crescent of the sun. All too quickly the sun- light increases until the sun in all it's splendor is again complete, and -the solar eclipse of 1882 is over.

125, ,O0O Miles Of
 Water Mains In U. s
One Mile of Pipe for Every Thousand Inhabitants
 Chicago Leads New York in Usage

New York.-There are 125,000 miles of water mains in the United States-one mile for every one thousand inhabitants, according to Q recent research survey. New York city has 4,050 miles; Chicago B. 439; San Francisco, 750; New Or leans 721; St Louis 2,000.
 Most of this water pipe, which forms great unseen network un- der our American cities, is of cast iron, and it represents about GO per cent of the total investment of bil- lions of dollars expended to give American cities an adequate sup ply of pure water. These mains range in size from few inches up to eight feet or more, and daily carry millions of gallons of water to the American public. New York city, withsa population of 6.107,000 consumes S67,000,000 gallons of water daily, or 142 gallons per capita. Chicago uses 916775,000 gallons daily, or 270 gallons per person; San Francisco 50,000,O00 gallons or 72 per capita; New Or leans 48,000,0000 gallons, or 11O

gallons per person; St Louis 120,- 900, 900 or Al gallons per capita.
 With the construction of large buildings, and the consequent in- crease in fire hazard, during the past 30 years the water supply of most cities is now distributed through the mains under high pressure. The cast-iron pipe used has a tensile strength of 16,000 and 18,000 pounds per square inch. In case of fire the pressure in the mains of many cities can be in- creased. In New York city, the normal domestic pressure is B pounds, the fire pressure is 200 pounds.
 The distances from which cities draw their water supplies show greater variation. Some of the smaller cities secure their water from artesfan wells within the city limits. Larger cities have reser- voirs at some distance. New York city has it's source 60 miles from the city; San Francisco, 40 miles; New Orleans miles. Calevico, Cal, receives it's water from a source 75 miles away.

 Waterbury today was vitaily in terested in the question of whether or not it would be honored with a place on the estate democratic ticket. Despite the candidacy, or ex-Mayor Fred Atwater of Bridge port for the nomination of lieuten- ant-governor, it was felt here to- day that Controller Daniel J.

and Ohio railroad offered big news. He said the Reconstruction Finance corporation's plan for ex- tensive replacement of railroad equipment contemplated employ. ment of 100000 men.
 Willard said several roads had informed the reconstruction cor poration they would accept loans to improve employment. He esti- mated the Baltimore and Ohio alone would spend $3,000,0G0 this winter, $2,000,000 directly for wages to employ 2,000 men for six months.
 Approximately 50,000 railroad workers would be re-employed under the finance corporation pro gram, Willard said and 50,000 more would be put to work man. ufacturing equipment. On this basis his hearers estimated the corporation planned to lend more than $10O,000,000 to the roads under this program.
 One of the conference sub-com- mittees has been assigned the job of stimulating the railroad re- placements with a view to increas- ing employment.
 Another will seek to assist own CTS of homes with maturing mort gages. Forts moratorium program is expected to have a decisive ef- feet in that field. Treasury orders have instructed national bank re- ceivers to suspend foreclosures for 60 days.
 All state supervisory authorities have been requested to issue sim liar instructions to receivers of state banks. Fort asked the as- sembled bankers and industrialists to help him to obtain agreement of all mortgage creditors, institu- tional and private, to join the mo- ratorium.
 Other sub b-committees author ized by the conference will deal with:
 ]. Insuring adequate distribu- tion of credit.
 2. Stimulation of the home re- pair and improvement movement.
 3. Cooperation with federal re- lief agencies in obtaining maxi mum effectiveness in their opera tion.
 "I don't think anything could be more definite than that pro- gram" said Secretary of Treasury Mills after the conference ad- journed.
 Chairman Robinson of the cen- tral committee said he would make his headquarters in Wash ington. He will be assisted by an executive secretary, Everett Case, who will serve without pay. Case is administrative assistant to owen D. Young, chairman of General Electric. Young donated his as- sistant's services.

placed at the head of the sub-com- mittees. They are going to work at Jnce.
 Typical of them is Walter c. Teagle, president of Standard oil of New Jersey. Teagle is q big man and no fashion plate. He is a native of Ohio and now a pow erful figure in New York. To him was assigned the subcommittee which will seek to increase em- ployment through dividing work. He is ready to offer a definite pro- gram. It has been operating sue cess fully in his division of Stand ard oil. His subcommittee was calIed to meet to-day. 1s'.I'he white collar worker" !" Teagle says, needs help"
 He is going to help the laboring man, too, but Teagle believes cler- teal employees have had less assist amos, in the present crisis than have other workers.
 "To call this plan the five-day week is to misname it," Teagle told the United Press. "1t is a shortened work-week but not the five-day week"
 He said no fixed plan could be applicable throughout industry. But in the case of his own organ izatiOn, the work week was re- duced from AS and A hours to 40 It was done by giving several weeks annual leave without pay.
 If we had not adopted that policy" Teagle said, 'it would have been necessary for our or gan;zation to add 2,900 persons to the number of unemployed in this country. That is about 10 per cent of our employees.
 There has been no reduction in the rate of pay. The reduction has been in earning power. That is the rate of pay per hour has remained the same. The maximum has been about 16 per cent.
 That is less" Teagle added, Ethan the reduction in the cost of living"
 The two-day conference pro- gram foreseen by administration leaders was completed yesterday in single day. Bankers and in- dustrialists heard President Hoov- CT proclaim that the major finan- ctal crisis of the depression had been overcome, but that the war was not over.
 The conferees unanimous vote created the central committee and. its sub- b-committees-a program drafted Thursday at a meeting of Administration leaders, bankers and industrialists.
 Chairman Franklin Fort of the home loan bank board sprang the first surprise of the meeting. He revealed the administration was Seeking a 6Q-day moratorium on mortgage foreclosures. He prom ised that the new home loan sys- tenn would be operating by that time. He told the United Press he hoped to stop commercial foreclo- sures as r'c1l "g ~ mort gages against small homes.

SLUMP FAILED
 TO HALT WORLD SCOUT WORK
international Conference Showed Organization Growing

Paris, (UP)-Returning to Paris from the International Conference ence of Girl Scout and Guide Lead CTS in Great Britain, Miss Adelaide Nelson of Atlanta, Ga, who is now making her residence here, says that the depression certainly has not hit the scouting industry either in America or Europe for addition al groups are spfinging up.
 "The group leaders gathered at the Gleddings, the home of Lady Fisher-Smith at Halifax; England, say that their respective countries are very enthusiastic in organiz- ing scout work in even the sn-all- est towns and villages" says Miss Nelson. Miss Hansen, Nor wegian county commissioner, has nine troops of guides, and says that there are 14 in her country. She had six of her girls with her and was returning a visit last year to Norway of ten oldham girls.
 Leaders in Demand
 Mrs Arnold Belais, who is from West Chester, N. Y., and who has two daughters in scout work, said that she could scarcely get enough leaders to keep pace with the development of the movement in America.
 'At the international jamboree in England there were 34 Girl Guides from nine different coun- tries as guests of the Halifax Guides. Seven were from Norway, several from Denmark, while Fin land, Germany, Sweden. New Zea- land and the United States also were represented.
 Excursion Trips
 "In addition to learning the latest scout methods in all the countries represented the leaders we've taken on excursions to vari- ous points of interest including hiking trip across the moors and visit to the home of Sir George Armytage where they saw the grave of Robin Hood"
 Miss Nelson came here year ago and organized the first group of American Girl Scouts in France. She has been actively identified with American Scouting for the past six years in Atlanta, Ga, and her work here has been recognized and widely praised by the American colony here by whom, through Dean Beakman and Canon Gibbs of the American Cathedral church of the Holy Trinity, under whose auspices she first formed her group, she has been asked to carry on her work for the coming year.

HIGH SCHOOL REGISTRkTI0N GAINS
GERMANY PLANS PUBLIC WORKS
 FOR JOBLESS
Scheme Involves Expendi- ture of 200 Million Marks

Berlin. (UP)-The governments plans for financing public works, and thereby fighting unemploy- ment, are assuming larger dimen- sions. After completing a scheme involving 135.000,000 marks, the government adopted a plan requir- ing an additional 200,000,000 to 250, ,000,000 marks. bringing the total appropriation in this category to between 335, 100000 and 3S5,- 000,000 marks.
 The fund will be devoted to nu- merous purposes, such as develop ing truck gardening in suburban worthless settlement sand in the agricultural areas, the improve ment of farm lands, repairing old buildings. scrapping idle ships roadbuilding, canal dredging, and the construction of fishing boats
 The necessary capital will be obtained by the reichsbank's en- dorsing government bills maturing in 15 months. Critics of the plan say that large new reichsbank credits might endanger the stabil- ity of the currency. but the gov ernment is obviously of the opin- ion that such credits would far from turn the prevailing defa- tion into a currency inflation.
 Supporters of the plan stress that the volume of private credits is constantly shrinking. and that no overwhelming of the reichs- bank need be feared. Another ob- jection advanced against the plan is that the governments strained budget situation might prevent repayment of the reichsbank credit in 15 months. In such a case it would be necessary to float government loan to meet the bills.
 It may be recalled that the Bruening cabinet planned lot etry loan to finance a public works scheme, but the Papen cabinet is opposed to such an expedient.

ers' association and practically all of the cooperative institutions in the middle western states, and adopted this resolutions:
 If we cannot obtain justice by legislation. the time will have ar rived when no other course re- mains than organized refusal to deliver the products of the farm at less than production costs"
 During the last few days I have interviewed many farmers from many points in Iowa. which for the moment at least is the center of the strike movement. However, they may express themselves, the substanc of their position is ex- pressed in the "call" of four weeks ago:
 We refuse to be hoodwinked into believing our salvation lies in battles of ballots. We are not only bankrupt, but we are. being evicted from our homes. We have precedents on every hand for the launching of a farmers strike.
 Scores of banks in this state have declared strikes and refused to perform the services for which they were chartered during such strike periods.
 The railroads and other trans- portation mediums have fixed charges for hauling animal as well as human freight. They 'strike'- or refuse to perform this service unless paid a fixed price.
 Newspapers refuse to publish advertising unless paid a stipulat- ed rate. We insist upon the same right to conserve our resources and demand the same fair prices as do other industries"
 Only one farmer I talked with deviated from this formula in ex- plaining his reason for participate ing in the strike. He said. This ought to be called a Hoover strike" and then added, "but don't think Roosevelt can do any better"
 Every man ! talked with was either q farm owner or a tenant farmer. The latter admitted they were better of than the former but were in the game to help the general cause. The owners said theirs was last-dltch fight 10 try so get enough from their product

Specially Trained Experts < Tell You the Story Toe

 Naval Observatory
 Copyright, 1882, by United Prcss) Washington, Aug 27-(U. P.) - The United States Naval Observa- tory has specially trained experts in fundamental astronomy who have devoted their lives to their speciality. With their habitual ac- curacy, for which they have gained a well-deserved international repu- tation, the path of the eclipse and the instant of its occurrence have been carefully calculated.
 Those who can visit the path o1 totality will see one of the most beautiful, one of the most sublime spec.acles they have ever witness ed. Shortly after 2 o'clock on the af- ternoon of August 31, the right side of the sun will show a slight nick. This nick will gradually en. large until the shadow of the moon will entirely blot out the sun. Just Defore the sun is completely blot ted out, 1t of the utmost import ance to watch closely so as not to
 miss the unusual sights which will unfold themselves in such rapid succession that you may miss them unless forewarned.
 The sun will appear to be a very
 narrow crescent. Then, just at the instant that the sun is disappearing completely, the sunlight shining through the valleys of the moon between the mountain peaks is
 broken up into a series of bril-. liantly lighted sections. These sec tions show magnificent colorine and look like a string of brightly colored beads just like a necklace | They are known as Baily's beads Be sure not to miss them. They are very remarkable.
 At this time, drop your smoked glass and glance quickly to the northwest. You will see the awe | inspiring shadow of the moon pre- yiously referred to sweeping witf | lightning speed down upon you. Il you are not very phlegmatic yot | will be startled.
 Another interesting phenomenon seen at this time is the shadow bands" Just prior to the period oi total eclipse you will see series oi shadows creeping over the surface of the fields. Sometimes they look exactly like seas rolling in on shelving beach. To help you observe this, take a sheet, spread 1t on the ground nearby, stretched taut, and securely begged at all four corners

Garner Accepts
 By His Letter

 Events abroad "are contributing factors of the depression he wrote, but the major causes can be found in the record of national legislation and national policies for which re- publican leaders are wholly respon- sible."
 Garner cited last years $3,000,- 000,00O treasury deficit anG de- clared "the master element of our trouble, the unbalanced budget, lies on the doorstep of the republican party" He said the administration opposed every effort of the demo- cratic house to effect real saw ings".
 The Texan blamed the republi- can Hawley-S -Smo oot tariff and result ant foreign retaliation for stagna- tion of world commerce.
