ways. Sometimes only one eye is
visible. But his face is always to-
ward the earth. No one has ever
seen the back of his head.
What is the "man in the moon" :?
What hides his face in varying de-
grees during the month?
The large dark spots which
make the face of the "man in the
moon" are the lunar seas. Long
ago they were believed to be
bodies of water and were given the
fantastic watery names which we
employ today. The mans right
eye is the Sea Of Storms; his left
eye is formed by the Sea of Ser
entity and the Sea of Tranquility,
his mouth by the Sea of Clouds.
Today we know that there is no
water at all on the moon. The dark
"seas" are dry, level regions dark
en- than the rest. Some astronom-
ers call them plains.
Full moon occurs on the evening
of March IL, rising at nightfall
almost directly in the east.
The moon turns nearly the same
face toward us always because it
rotates on it's axis in the same Pc

|PARLEY DUE TODAY
ION COMMISSIONERS
Farley May See President,
but Selection Is Unlikely
Before Next Week.

Postmaster General Farley may be in
position TO take up with President
Roosevelt this afternoon the selection
of two civilian Commissioners for this
city.
This was the Postmaster Generals
intention yesterday. He has been study
ing the qualifications of the various
candidates. Even if he Is in a posi-
ton today to make any recommenda-
ton to the President, or even lay be-
fore him the list of several he considers
qualified. it is thought doubtful that
the President will announce any ap-
pointment to the Board of Commission
ers before next week.
Mr.. Farley's task in this connection
has not been an easy one. principally
because of the large field of candidates
and his personal lack of knowledge of
character and experience as well as
the background of more than 40 men
and women whose names have been
presented to him to consider in connec-
ton with the commissionerships
It is known that the Postmaster
General, in eliminating names Of un-
available persons has found 1t neces-
sary to call for the assistance of close
friends who are more familiar with
the qualifications Of those proposed.
IL is KNOWN tndt tne postmaster Gen-
eral has been so busy with other mat
ters that he has had little time to give
undivided attention to the local pat
ronage. However, with the assistance
of others, he has cut down the list to
about half dozen.
President Roosevelt has announced
he is going to declare moratorium on
news at the White House from noon
today until Monday morning. to catch
up with accumulated routine business
of his Office and take brief rest.

The private and parochial school
finals in the National Museum Audi
torium late yesterday afternoon repre-
sented one of the most consistently
high-gra oratorical competitions of
the contest here this year. Despite the
uniformly good speech-making, how
ever, the board of three judges unani-
mously chose Miss Colliflower as cham
pion. Speaking on Thomas Jefferson,
Father Of Constitutional Democracy"
Miss Collif1ower revealed herself a
strong contender for The Star area
championship-and consequently the
Summer tour Of Europe which is the
grand prize-with a clear, resonant
voice and winning personality.
In this district, too, however, the
judges found it hard to separate the
winner of second place and so they
voted a tie for that honor. Randolph
Leigh, jr.. spokesman for st. Adams
School, and Miss Patricia McGeer,
spokesman for Immaculate Seminary,
were the second place winners.
The private and parochial school
finals were unique in the contest in
that the speakers appeared only by
number designation and it was not until
the verdict was given that even Dr.
Charles Hart of the Catholic University
faculty, who was presiding, was given
their identifications so that he could
present each speaker in his own name.
The judges ballots designated the
speakers by number.
Young Leigh. who is the son Of the
director general of the contest, was
first to bid for honors. He delivered a
timely and challenging Grafton on
1888"
Miss Collifower next spoke and she
was followed by Miss Ann Cooke of the
Holy Cross Academy. Miss Cooke pre-
sented speech on THE Implied Power
of the Constitution"
George Dom of st. Johns College
was the fourth orator to take the stage
and he sought honors with his Grafton
on THE Genesis of the Constitution. -
William Powell of the Woodward
School for Boys Of the Young Mems
Christian Association, was the next
speaker and he made strong fight
for the championship with his speech
on women and the Constitution"
Miss McGeer was the last orator to
speak.
When the decision Of the judges was
available, Dr. Hart lost no time in an
nouncing the news. Miss McGeers s
name was greeted with a burst of en-
thusiastic acclaim that was tribute
to the sportsmanship Of the supporters
of the losing contestants Judges OF
the private and parochial school finals
were Neil Burkinshaw, former assistant
to the Attorney General; Gilbert L.
Hall, Washington attorney, and Dr.
L. c. McDonals q the Catholic Uni
verhty faculty.
