For: Library.
But Where?

TAKOMA PARK, Md, Aug. 16.
Four hundred books are awaiting
the Takoma Park Library Asso-
citation at some address on Seven
tenth Street Northwest. Wash
ington.
A few days ago an unknown
person on Seventeenth Street
phoned the Takoma Park police
department and notified them he
had about 400 books he would
gladly donate to the local library
if they would be so kind as to
call for them. Then before the
police could obtain the name Of
the person or the house address
he hung up.
A great strain on the minds
of local police and library Off
Gals would be relieved if this
person would phone again.

DR.. BROWN
F0RCLERK

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Aug. 16.-William Moseley
Brown, Virginia gubernatorial
candidate in 1929 and former pro-
fessor at Washington and Lee
University, is being groomed by
the Republican party to lead its
fight in the Arlington county gen.
eral election in November.
DR.. Brown, who carried Airing
ton county in his unsuccessful
race for governor, will be urged
by the party to lead full slate
OF candidates into the general
election, as a candidate for clerk
of the circuit court, the prize
plum of Arlington county politics.
The job pays approximately
$4,000 a year, in salary and fees,
almost as much as the governor
ship.
A former grand master Of the
Masonic Lodge of the State OF
Virginia and credited with being
one of the most able speakers in
the State, he is held in high re-
gard by members Of his own party
and Independents.
GOsnel Mentioned
Only one other Republican IS
being mentioned for the clerks
post. He is a former board
member, Fred A. Gosnell. The
majority Of the Republicans,
however, are said to be strongly
in favor Of the leadership Of DR..
Brown.
Another strong point favoring
DR.. Brown is that Republicans
here remember that he was one
of the two political figures that
ever attracted a mass meeting
crowd large enough to pack the
auditorium of the Washington
Lee High School, which seats
more than 1000 persons.
Candidates already in the field
for this post are John A. Petty,
incumbent, and Joseph L. May,
running as Independents, and
the Democratic nominee, Ben
jarnin Laycock.
Other candidates whose names
are expected to be presented to
the COP convention to be held in
Community House August q are
Edgar Humphrey, Clarence R.
Ahalt and John Locke Green, all
out for commemorative Attorney.
Capt. ]. H. WeBause, prominent
in the American Legion and re-
tired Army officer, is expected to
be given the nomination for sher-
iff,. while former Associate Judge
Bryan Gordon is the logical can
didate for county judge.
The only name being mentioned
for the post of treasurer is that Of
Frank G. Campbell, considered
one of the strongest Republicans
in Arlington county.

winds were expected to soothe suf-
fering over the Ohio valley.
Nine deaths attributed to the
heat were reported in New York

stretching from the deep South to
the Canadian border. It's route
along the Mississippi Valley was
marked by 48 deaths. -,gs.
Wisconsin had five weather IA
talities.
Cool air, bringing windstorms
and heavy rains to the midwest,
banished the heat there. But the
sudden change induced violent
storms in some sections.
Many drownings, indirectly at
tributed to temperatures that
ranged from near 90 in New York
to 113 in Phillipsburg, Kan, were
reported.
The Southwest counted nearly
DO dead in an eight-day siege.

and numerous prostrations were
attributed to the heat. Four per-
sons died of heart attack induced
by heat. Three drowned.

two deaths. Memphis recorded It's
first summer heat death with the

died in Michigan.
Floods added to suffering in
North Dakota and Colorado.
Bodies of nine persons were re-
covered after waters of Wolf

MOON ECLIPSE

(The following timely discus
sion of the forthcoming eclipse of
the moon, beginning Monday
evening and concluding after mid

By VIM. E. BREAZEALE
A total lunar eclipse, while not
so rare and impressive as solar
one, is, nevertheless, well worth
observing. We in this part of the
world are fortunate in that the
one Monday night occurs at a
convenient hour. In an eclipse of
the moon, three bodies are in
volved: viz, the sun, the earth
and the moon. The sun, 100000
miles away and with diameter of
864.OOO miles, is the source of
the light. The earth, 5000 miles
in diameter casts a conical shad-
ow some $4,000 miles in length
with is apex turned away from
the sun, The moon, whose diane
ter is 2,1OO miles and is distant
from the earth $4,000 miles, in
it's monthly revolution about our
globe occasionally passes through
the shadow-cone. This causes the
eclipse. Monday night the moon
strikes the cone center shot, and
therefore remains totally eclipsed
a time which is about a maximum
