SOAP BOXES CROWD'

CHICAGO, August S,-The outdoor
orators Of bug house square," where
words speak louder than actions, are
wearing cut more soap boxes than ever.
But the unresponsive audiences that
stop to rest on park benches or hurry
by on Clark and Dearborn streets, pay
scant heed to the eXhortations from
the improvised rostrums.
Officially, the City Directory lists no
"bug house square," it is Washington
Park. Practically, for Chicago it serves
the purpose of IIondon'S Hyde Park,
where any one has liberty to say any
thing at any time.
Thus locally, it is bug house square,"
and has been for years, to those who
have been appropriated for audiences
by orators seeking a following.

concerned target of much vituperation-

Communists have used the small park
for agitation and demonstration. Radi-
Gals have paraded. But Washington
Park remains the haven for the caSualS,
a Mecca for the voluble, where any one
can talk, and all types do.
Missionaries and cranks haunt the
scene, but hard times have apparently
caused some increase in the Wordage of
radicals whose credos tend toward the
''anti- -isms." But Chicago doesn't seem
to mind. When Communists recently
obtained a parade permit at Washing
ton Park using the formal name, no
extra police details were bothered with
the patrolmen on the beat kept an eye
on things and that was enough.
Soap Boxes Crowded.
Summer weather has been favorable
for outdoor oratory, and soap boxes
crowd together. But the trampled grass
still grows underfoot, and trees give
shade for park bench bivouacs. The
park is popular also with many silent
loiterers as a place of amusement, a
bug house where you could listen to
many speeches, but pay attention to
none.

n TEW YORK, August g. The
N total eclipse of the sun in
New England August 81 is
1 only one of about 5000 which
astronomers have located from
1908 BIC. to tie year 2162 AID.
They foreteu eclipses or dig up past
ones by the same tables Of mathemat-
les, which include such things as the
Saros. nodes, perigees, or months OF
odd lengths with the queer names,
sidereal, synodlc, nodical, draconic and
anomalistic.
A dining table and a plate illustrate
the problem. The table is the plane
in which the earth revolves around the
earth. plate at the edge is the
moons orbit around the sun.
Explains Moons Swing.
If the plate lay fiat on the table, as
a correct hostess would set it, there
would be a total eclipse OF the sun
once a month, every time the moon
swung between the edge OF the table
(the earth's position) and the center
of the table (the suns position).
But this plate is tipped at an angle
of about five degrees. One edge is
higher than the table, the other lower,
as if the plate were just fitting to fall
off. SO the rim of the plate (the moons
orbit cuts the table only at two points,
which astronomers call the modes"
A total eclipse can happen cnly when
a point Of intersection with the table
happens to lie in direct line between
earth" and sun" But there's worse
to comei The plate is slowly revolving
like q coin which has been spun.
1t takes Is years for the moon orbit
Cor the plate) to make one Of these
revolutions. That time is the "Saros."
1t results in the points of intersection
advancing so that they complete a
revolution in l8 years.
These are part of the motions astron-
omers reckon with in predicting eclipSes.
After August 81 the first in the United
States will be in 1943, in Alaska. Up

assume his post today.
"The British he said he be-
lieved, have cause to be much
encouraged as to the future. In
America we are also getting down
to fundamentals.
Citing the new tax bill in the
United States, he commented:
1T will impose heavy burden
of new taxes at n time such a load
is not easy to carry, but it is q
necessary step on the long road to
full recovery, and an omen of en-

the British people regarded him as

revision of the war debts, he said:
II hadn't considered myself so.
Who invented that?"

administration has sought temper
ary relief from the top down rather
than permanent relief from the
bottom up
The governors appeal for support
and attack on the relief measures
OF the administration came during
a 10 minute radio address broad
cast over a nationwide network from
the study of the executive mansion
Roosevelt cited three immediate
needs, among the dozen or so he
indicated would be outlined later
eS.
Restoration OF the farmers buy
ing power, relief to the small banks
and home owners, and a recon-
Structed tariff polcy.'
His address indicated intentions
to label the Hoover administration
a big business administration" He
said:
"The S2,OOO,OOO,OOO which Presi-
dent Hoover and congress have put
at the disposal of the big banks
the railroads, and the corporations
of the nation, is not for the home
owner or land owner, the relation
of these persons TO the great banks
of Chicago and New York is pretty
remote
Here should be an objective OF
the government itself: To provide
at least as much assistance to the
little fellow as it is now giving the
large banks and the corporations
That is an example of building from
the bottom up"
