Moonless Month Period
Without the Full Moon

Moonless month is the name
popularity given to month in which
no full moon occurs. Under our
calendar February is the only
month that is shorter than the lunar
cycle and consequently it is the only
month that can have fewer than
four noon phases. The absent
phase, however, need not necessari-
ly be the full moon, but may be
any one of the four. Likewise five
phases of the moon occasionally fall
in the other months.
The average time from one full
moon to another is Twenty-Five and
one-half days, and the time from
one phase to the next varies from
less than seven days to more than
eight. About every six years Feb
ruary has only three phases. When
it is without full moon, the pre-
ceding January and the following
March may have two full moons
each. This remarkable sequence,
astronomers estimate, will not occur
again for some 1850, 900 years. Feb
ruary was without a full moon in
1885, 1915 and 1884, and from APP
proximate computations made by
the United States naval observatory
that month will be without full
moon in 1861.
Februaries without new moons or
either of the other two phases occur
at about the same intervals, but, OF
course, in different years.-Indian-
apolis News.

Upstairs, he undressed slowly,
trying to face and measure this

of quick and vivid terror, afraid
of his own thoughts. He was like

close co his music. His pastimes are
few. About all Duke does in his
spare time, except write music and
rehearse his band, is to play a few
hands of bridge.
The stage hands at the Lyric are
getting real treat this week be-
cause Duke varies his program al
most every performance.
Said the lighting expert, Just be-
fore Duke went on yesterday after
noon:
Say, Mr.. Ellington, please let me
know when you put new ending
on Solitude so I'll turn the lights
off at the right time"
Composed SOLITUDE"
Mr.. Ellington and his associates
show the least stage fright of any
group of performers we have seen
in some time. They seem more at
home on the stage than off. Most
of their spare time is spent in the
dressing rooms trying out new
chords and tricks.
Duke is composer of popular
music. His best seller is Solitude"
but he doesn't like the piece as
much as some of his others. When
asked yesterday what pieces of his
own he liked best, he replied:
THE ones 1 like best are short
compositions that 1 never took the
trouble to name"

A natty dresser, Duke likes to
wear slightly fiashy clothes. His
favorite costume this week is a
white linen coat and brown and
white checked trousers, with a blue
shirt and tie. His boys go in for
even more color, wearing white linen
dinner jackets, red trousers and
bright red leather shoes.
Explains Bands Aim
The method back of Mr.. Elling-
tons music is a much more serious
one than most folk would imagine.
81 try to adapt the genuine Negro
music, taken in its crude conception
and translate it into popular tunes,
the leader said. But we attempt
to retain the basic rhythm because
that's the keynote of Negro music"
Duke has been in the music game
since, as a child, he learned to play
the piano by ear Later he won
scholarship to Pratt Institute but
was so interested in his jazz hand
that he never finished the artistic
career. But even now, Duke spends
hours going over arrangements,
tackling them much in the manner
of symphonic conductors.
Directs From Piano Bench
The method Mr.. Ellington uses
when directing his band is another
innovation. He uses no baton,
doesn't even stand up in front of
his men. He merely sits at the
piano and by waving his head one
way or the other, tells the boys
whether they are playing too loudly
or too softly.
Five members of Dukes original
band, wich opened at Cotton Club
years ago, are still with him. The
veterans are Sonny Greer, the dap
per little drummer; Arthur Whetsol,
hot trumpet man; Otto Hardwick,
saxophonist.
Among the modern composers,
George Gershwin and Stravinsky
are Dukes favorites.
But I'll admit that Stravinsky
gets bit heavy for me at times,
Duke said yesterday.

Enactment OF the substitute Guffey

Hosford testified.
He referred to frequent disturbances

The bill designed to replace the

Court, retains that acts price-fixing
provisions, but omits the labor sections

Hosford expressed the view the new
bill is constitutional.
The measure is scheduled for con-
