SCIENCE
Astronomers Hope to Gain
Valuable Knowledge From
Aug. 81 Eclipse.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

ANg. 81 EctlpSe.
IMPORTANT observations which
Il astronomers hope to make dur
ing the total eclipse Of the sun on
Aug. 81, can be classified under ten
headings. They are as follows:
ONE: Determination of the ex-
act position of the moon at the
time of the eclipse and the exact
time at which the eclipse begins
and ends.
This information is exceedingly
valuable in checking theories Of
the motions of the moon. Al
though the equations for the moons
motion are veritable marvels of
mathmatics, there still are some
irregularities in the motion Of the
moon which have not been &C
counted for.
TWO: Direct photography Of the
eclipse. The shape and appear
ance of the solar prominence and
the corona are important. The
solar prominences are great red
tongues Of fiery gases extending up
from the suns atmosphere or chro-
mosphere.
At the time of eclipse, they ex-
tend beyond the dark disc Of the
moon. The corona is the great
silvery halo around the sun, which
becomes visible only during an
eclipse.
THREE: Photography of the
sky around the eclipse. The bright
er stars become visible during an
eclipse.
One of the chief verfications OF
the Einstein theory is that these
star images are shifted from their
proper places during an eclipse. Such
photographs are made at each
eclipse, as a further check on the
theory.
Such photos also are checked for
possible appearance of planet
closer to the sun than Mercury, the
closest known planet.

Vacations Made Brighter
With Charming Clothes

HAVING dresses and accessories ap-
IL propriate for every Summer occa-
sion Is. to be sure, most important
consideration in planning the vacation
wardrobe. But what many women for
get or overlook Is the importance of
having appropriate occasions for the
various dresses. wraps, hats, shoes and
the other things that go to make up a
we'll rounded Summer wardrobe.
It's our experience that more vaca-
tions have proved disappointing be-
cause of lack Of these appropriate oc-
casions than through lack of forethought
for appropriate clothes-because after
all once you have the occasions you
are pretty sure to bestir yourself to get
the clothes. and there Is nothing so
disheartening as the al-dressed-up-
-place-to-go feeling that comes
to women who have spent all their time
planning their vacation wardrobes with
out giving any definite thought to the
occasions for making use of all their
fresh and festive finery.
So let's be frank and practical In
facing this vacation wardrobe problem
and consider the situation as it really
is and not as we would like to have it.
Let's remember that 1t Is just as absurd
to have lot Of lovely new clothes and
no place to wear them and enjoy them
as 1t Is to spend all our money and
energy arranging q full vacation pro-
gram without providing ourselves with
clothes needed to make the most Of
these occasions.
Evening star., 1932-06-05

Let's admit too. that we haven't
quite so much to spend on the vacation
as we did last Summer or the Summer
before. Possibly it's out of the question
even to 90 away from home for the
entire holiday. But don't let's admit
even for a moment that we are going
to be content with a vacation less stim-
ulating or less joyous than in other
years. Actually there never was time
when We were more in need Of recrea-
tion and diversion than now and II We
cannot afford to 60 abroad as we had
hoped or to close the town house or
apartment to spend the vacation weeks
at the shore or in the mountains there
are still all sorts Of ways Of finding
diversion If we want to.
Times may be hard and you may be
taking your share of the depression, but
on the other hand, clothes and dress
materials are extremely reasonable this
season and fashions were never 50 be-
coming. Moreover the really public
spirited thing to do is to spend every
cent that you can possibly afford to
spend The dollar you put in circula-
tion by buying a new pair of stockings
is doing infinitely more good than the
dollar you put away In an old stocking
for safe keeping; and the is or 20 or
80 dollars you spend to buy Q new dress
may be the best possible invest
ment you can make, II the dress
Is the sort that will renew your conf
dence in your own charm and per-
sonality

GARDEN NOTES

II one might find any fault with the
iris as a home garden flower, it would
be with its relatively brief blooming
season. It Is a cool season flower and
pives way to the onslaught of warm
weather. However, by planting some
of the Japanese varieties, the season
can be extended into June and the
Japanese varieties are sufficiently dif-
ferent to bring added interest.
The successful way to fight weeds Is
not to allow them to get started, or al
least not to allow them to get strong
hold. It Is much more practical to cul
tivate the garden regularly than to walt
until weeds have made a strong start
weeds draw heavily on the soil moisture
and soil nutrients. Deep tillage is prob
ably Of little value, but working the
surface suficiently to kill the young
weeds Is necessary. The real gardener
NAV be detected at this season by his
maintained interest In his garden.
THOSE who find the soil dif1cult tc
cultivate should try the plan Of waiting
until q day or two after rains, when
even the stifiest clay yields to tillage
Lima beans will climb the poles more
readily If tied with o piece Of soft string
while still quite small. Once started up
the pole the vines will take care OF
themselves.
The best way to handle tomatoes is to
train them to q single stem supported
by a stout stake. At each leaf axil, new
side branches will put forth and these
should be cut out while still small Prun-
ing reduces the total crop per plant but,
on the other hand, increases the yield a

ACID.LOVINC PLANTS

One of the first tasks in introducing
native plants from the wild into tn
garden Is to supply as comparable en-
vironment as possible to that in nature
That is, a swamp plant must be pro-
vided with moist home and dry hill
side native with dry conditions. An
other important consideration enters
namely, that of soil acidity, and many
an attempt to introduce wild plants
into the home garden has failed because
of ignoring this point. Some plants
have a rather wide adaptability to acid
ity changes; others, like blueberries.
azaleas, rhododendrons and arbutus, do
not. II one is attempting to grow such
poor growth, yellowed leaves and grad
ual weakening, it is very logical to sus-
pect that the soil Is too alkaline. The
surest way to success Is to bring in
quantity of leaf mold soil \from the
woods at the time Of planting. Some
success also has resulted from watering
the plants with weak solution OF
aluminium sulfate at repeated Intervals
As far as vegetable crops go. the
acidity requirements were worked out
well some years ago. Most vegetables
prefer a nearly neutral soil, SO that ap-
plications of lime generally are bene-
flcial in our local gardens where acidity
quite generally prevails. For the most
cultivated plants, one can more or less
ignore the acidity problem, but When
It comes to the azaleas and rhododen-
drons success depends altogether on
keeping the soil sharply acid.
An interesting development OF the
soil acidity study is the influence of soil
acids on the color of certain flowers.
The low-growing hydrangea, used for
greenhouse forcing and for outdoor cul-
ture, is q striking example. Naturally,
pink varieties can be changed to blue by
applications of acidifying materials,
such as aluminium sulfate Old nails or
iron have given somewhat the same re-
suit. possibly by first turning into iron
sulfate in the soil. Reciprocically, blue
hydrangeas may be changed back to
their natural pink if supplied with hy-
drafted lime.
