Hour The Figure Was Reached

TT is stated" said The Times, that more than
100000 letters and kilograms of protest and ap-
peal reached members of the House within the last
two weeks. They not form letters. They came
from small investors all over the country who had
already lost on other savings and objected violently
having their utilities stocks and bonds made the
object Of political attack Mr. Roosevelt impru-
dent enou~h to describe this sort of evidence of
popular feeling in the matter falsifed."
II may have been imprudent of the President
but at the very least his imprudence was matched
or overmatched by that of The Times editorial
writer. He should have called in A newspaper man
before he dved OF the deep end In the first place
who made the statement that &C. 900 letters and
kilograms Of protest were received against the
death sentence? Obviously the best that any re-
porter could do would be TO ask number of con-
gressmen ,bout their mail and after striking an
average multiply that number by the total MEM
bership Of the House.
Now. this is a good deal less than scientific 1t
has always been my experience that newspaper
ColumnistS actors and radio performers lie little
about their mail Perhaps it isn't exactly lying,
because the sophisticated inquirer always makes
some allowance for exaggeratiOn. One expects that
when anybody talks about fish or fans.

Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ-

A STRONOMERS will get their moneys worth
n when the moon is eclipsed next Monday night.
The total phase of the eclipse will last hour and
Al minutes, the maximum possible duration for the
total phase of lunar eclipse.
An eclipse of the moon is we'll known, is caused
by the moon entering the earth's shadow. On the
night of July 15 the moon will pass directly through
the axis of the earth's concal shadow, a result
providing eclipse Of maximum duration.
IF YOU watch the moon throughout the period or
L totaity you will note that the color of the moon
and the intensity Of its light both fuctuate This
results from the fact that earth is turning its
axis and so the amount Of sunlight reaching the
moon varies depending upon the amounts of cloud
which the suns rays must penetrate in passing
through the earths atmosphere and into the shadow.
These circumstances all combine to make an
eclipse of the moon phenomenon of considerable
beauty and interest.
The earth's conical shadow is known technically
as the umbra 1t is surrounded by less dark shad-
ow known as the penumbra.
DR. J. J. NASSAU. director of the Warner and
- Swasey Observatory Of Case School of Applied
Science, gives the following data concerning the
eclipse:
The moon enters the penumbra at 915 . m
Eastern Standard Time The darkening effect
upon the will not be visible to the naked eye
however. until some minutes later.
The moon enters the unbra at 1912 p. m. Tbs
earths shadow will then be observed slowly creeping
across the face bright of the moon.
The period of totality begins at II :o9 p. m
The middle of the period of totally occurs az
midnight.
Totally ends st 1850 z m. and the moon begins
TO emerge from the umbra.
It leaves the unnbra at AT a.
The eclipse ends at FAB m. at which tins tne
moon leaves the penumbra.

Eren Colunlnists DO IT

MY own rule has always been to take anything
wi the recipient said about his mail and divide by
two Radio experts tell me that this IS far too gen
erous an allowance so far As the people of the air
are concerned They think one-thrd of the estl-
mate given nv the attraction would be accurate.
No ratio has vet been established for politicians but
] venture to doubt whether they are much more
veraCious than croonerS
Accordingly the figure Of 100000 probably would
be in reality something like 266666 That is still
lot of mail and kilograms. But when The Times says
that these came almost entirely from small invest
ors" there again rises the need of some accurate
check The mere fact that a writer begins his COM
muncation Dear Congressman: l am small in
that some Is or 20 key letters from individuals not
all in the small investor class were the vital fac
tor in herdlng most of the congressman into the
camp Of the utilities The rest of the 266,666 were
mere window dressing.
Naturally I am ready to admit that some por-
ton Of the paper shower was entirely genuine but
the public utilities have proved themselves such past
masters of the art Of propaganda and have gone to
such lengths and such expense i'm its use that 1t Is
ridiculous to assume that they did not play an active
role in "fomentng" letters to Congress.
One OF the most effective campaigns of this sort
Of which I ever heard was carried on by single in
dvidual He happened to be ColumniSt, and not a
very good one In spite of the internal evidence,
am not the man. Shifting from one paper to an

as Schneider. This nearly
completed section is as
scenic as it has been hard to
build.
The last unforged link in Can
adas transcontinental highway
may not be complete for two
years. But when it is. Canada
will be able to boast a longer
road than any in the United
States, stretching some 5000 miles
in a continuous ribbon from the
maritime provinces on the At
lantic to British Columbia on the
Pacific.
THIS vast public work is one o.
l. Canadas dividends from the
depression. Most of the labor has
been provided by relief projects
much like those so familiar N the
United States.
The section of the highway now
being rushed to completion. east
ward from Nipogon through
Schneider, a difficult piece Of en-
cheering, is opening up a sports
mans paradise and a scenic Won
derland.
Through land of lakes,
streams and rock masses, the road
has been in many places literally
blasted from the solid rock. Four
years ago it was virgin, almost
untrod country.
The highway west of Fort Will
liam toward Winnipeg, though a
great convenience because it is
now no longer necessary for Ca
madam travel to go southwark
into the United States and then
double back northward to Winni-
peg. was not difficult engineer
ing problem.
TINE country is more or less fiat
i and swampy. Tons of gravel
had to be filled in, and men often
waded hip-deep in muck and
water before the roadbed rose to
dry levels.
But it took tons of dynamite to
blast an auto road out of the
rugged country that lies east of
Nipigon. Some of the rock-cuts
are 30 feet high. while several
hills have rise of 400 feet.
At CaverS. 100 miles east of
here, the road is 800 feet above
Lake Superior. whose silvery sur
face and dotted islands make a
superlative view.
