RAIN MAKES
VALLEY VISIT

AT 4 o'clock this morning a rain
storm accompanied by lightning
and thunder broke over parts of
the valley. From reports received
here it appears that the heaviest
rainfall was in Imperial where IL
inch of rain fell. El Centro report
ed a fall of .02 of an inch while
Brawley reports a slight sprinkle.
Many residents sleeping out Oh
lawns were forced to retire to the
shelter of their homes and a gen.
eral scurrying about ensued to get
under cover. While the storm last
ed the weather cooled considerably
but with the approach of daybreak
and sunrise the humidity COM
menced to be felt and valleyites
prepared for a day of sweltering-
in which they were not disappoint-
ed.
Opinions were expressed that the
total eclipse of the moon scheduled
for tonight from 7:12 to 10:47 p. m.
is responsible for the sudden
change in weather conditions here.

Of
MOON To. Be
VISIBLE HERE

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July Is.
U,P)-Harvard scientists prepared
today to study the total eclipse of
the moon early tomorrow. The
eclipse will begin at 1900 a. m.
EDIT, reaching totality about l a.
m. Fifty minutes later the eclipse
will end.
MeteorologistS have more to
learn from the lunar eclipse than
astronomers, said DR.. Fred l..
Whipple of Harvard observatory.
When the earth gets between the
sun and the moon, he explained,
the only solar light reaching the
moon is that which filters through
the earth's outer atmosphere. BY
studying that light meteorologists
can learn much about atmospheric
conditions.
The more dust and clouds there
are in the upper regions, the less
of the refracted sunlight that
reaches the moon, all of which is
of interest to those who study the
weather. They may be able to learn
how cloudy it is in the far-away
north and south polar regions
where they have no "tipsters" and
may learn how diffused is the dust
that was stirred up in the recent
mid-western dust storms.
Given a fair night, persons in
the United States and Western
Europe will see the moon lose its
natural brightness and change
gradually to a dull red as the
eartil's shadow shades it. What
solar light does reach the moon is
shorn of its blue rays as it filters
through the earth's atmosphere.
Only the red rays reach the moon.

BY DR.. w. D. Brown

All have seen or heard of that
dread disease, small pox. It is
worldwide potential scourge. No
country probably has not had an
epidemic at sometime or other. An
early German writer said that few
people escaped small pox and love.
This shows that small pox was
accepted as almost inevitable.
Ten years ago there was, if you
remember, an epidemic in Mime
apolis and St. Paul, which was
very disastrous. Formerly it was
a disease of childhood, but now
since most children are vaccinated
early, it has become more of a
problem among adults, who have
for the most part a misconception
of what vaccination does.
The material used in an inocula-
ton is obtained from young calves
which have been infected with
cowpox, a disease similar to the
human type. This must be manu-
featured under conditions demand
ed by the United States Public
Health Department and must be
tested by the United States Hy-
gienic Laboratory. In this way
there is uniform safety in all
products which are to be used. At
the present day this precaution has
prevented complications that used
to occur, due to impure vaccine.
One vaccination does not give
lifelong immunity in most cases,
but frequently two vaccinations
do. About five years immunity is
obtained by a single incubation.
That is why the disease seems to
spread in waves in communities

clusion would naturally be inter-
cepted by the defense for recur-
renee. 1t so happened that Mr..
Thomas gave more explanation on
his subject than any of the other
persons on the symposium. Nat
urally, being subject to more
questioning. Whether it is pos
sible for one to give a complete
outline of any form of government
in eight minutes is not a matter
of concern as he held but is a mat
ter of opinion. As a matter of
fact each speaker consumed more
than eight minutes, Mr.. Thomas
himself using about twenty-eight.
No one can be more responsible
for the gross stupidity of the
Forum than the writer of this note
himself. l therefore desire to ex-
plain: that the Sunday Forum is
open for discussion of respectful
subjects in the proper manner.
When and if ones discourse war
rants more time than previously
allotted the body itself so grants.
l highly concur with Mr.. Thomas
in his effort to return to the
Forum and speak his mind. For
after all that's what makes a
Forum.

where an epidemic causes every
one to be vaccinated at that time.
When that immunity wears off
another epidemic will arise and so
on.
It would seem advisable from
this knowledge to have at least
two successful vaccinations and to
be revaccinated whenever there is
a case of small pox in your neigh

with the disease, or finally if there
are many cases in your COM

HERE and
THERE
By w. NJ. Smith

Geo. S. Schuyler, by his own ad-
mission, is forty years old. H-does
not seem possible. Yet it must be
all of fifteen years since I first
was introduced to his writings, and
then / considered him a wild=eyed
youngster who dipped his vitriolic
pen in the ink of irresponsible
youth and flung it broadcast with
out regard to where it hit or whom
it injured. He was cutting out a
new pathway to fame. But fifteen
years have gone by; Schuyler is
no longer youth; a man of middle
age, he has won his place in the
sun; his ready pen, still aimed at
men and measures many of us are
holding sacrosanct. / am compelled
to admit his consistency; he must
have meant the things he wrote as
youth for he has continued to
write the same sentiments during
all the past years of his climb to
fame. And fame he has found.
There isn't a man of his years in
the whole race who has achieved a
wider acquaintance or better sup
ported reputation for sound think
ing. Schuyler still irritates me. /
think he finds fault too easily or
perhaps l should say too generally.
There must be some good in the
Negro group somewhere; he never
seems to find it. / have always
hated the thought that men with
elaboration seek the personal ad-
vantage as against the need and
the immense possibilities of racial
welfare. Particularly have / hated
to believe this could be true of men
who have reached a place of lead
ership in the minds and lives of
the masses. But Schuyler INDUCES
in no such soft judgment. His
ready pen still seeks the joint in
the armor and finds it all too often
in the places it should not be.
So l am eager to hear him when
he comes to the Twin Cities next
week. What does he believe will
become of the Negro in America?
Whatever he thinks will be ex-
pounded with clarity and utter
fearlessness and will be told most
interestingly.
The young people of these two
cities should crowd Phyllis Wheat
ley and Halle @. Brown to the
doors when this unusual American
comes to speak. For he is yet
among the young men; he is earn
est and sincere; he despises shams
and humbug, and while his phi
losophy of life finds no great sup
port among church people, what he
has to say will, / am reasonably
sure, make most of them very
much ashamed of themselves. Oh,
not for any moral reason. You
may be straight as string and yet
find plenty of reason to be dissatis-
fed with your life, it's emptiness,
its lack of objective, the ease with
which it sidesteps the obligations
the days unfold. Schuyler is very
apt to remind as of these things
and young or old, if you haven't
been willing to take life serious
ly and don't want to squirn, don't
listen when he speaks. On the
other hand, if you are convinced
that the Negro isn't going to get
anywhere in America or elsewhere
until you and others of the race
will encourage that racial solidarity
it will most certainly require, then
hear him eagerly, for he surely has
message.
