Well within the realm of even present scientific
possibility is the idea that a century hence man
will be able to sweep through space and land on
the moon in time to see theseClipse of 2O33. Even
now scientists are planning how to do 1t ana they
have even picked out a likely spot on the moon
surface in which the eclipse expedition of century
hence may set up it's camp. This spot would be
the Crater Franklin, named for the famous Amerl-
can philosopher statesman and scientist by Beer
and Maeder in 1887
If scientists of 2033 do reach the moon properly
equipped they will see the sun totally eclpsed by
the earth from :07 to 3:42 p. m on April 14th
For two and a half hours they will leisurely be
able to gaze at solar wonders never before seen
by man.
This will be of extreme Importance Tor an
eclipse of the sun as viewed from the earth never
lasts much over minutes Since astronomers
began seriously to study eclipses of the SUM- only
a total of three hours of observations has been
obtained by scores of expeditions through scores
of years. Thus at one swoop the moon observers
can watch the sun for time nearly equal 10 all
prior observations put together.
The scientists on the moon may be pictured
even today. With Weird-looklng suits they VIII De
sarbed vet their sealed garments will puff out
around them in roly-poly fashion for there is no
air or atmosphere on the moon. Any breathing
they will do will come from air pped into their
helmets through hose lines from their space snip
or from tanks of compressed air they carry on
their backs In any event the pressure of this
air will be greater inside their suits than OUTSIDE,
and so thew will swell and look like fat walking
toys of a childrens nursery.
The suits of the moon scientists will not only
have their own supply of air, carefully trans
ported from earth, but they will also be heated
electrically and many even be air-Conditoned and
cooled to take care of the wide range of tempera'

lures encountered on the moon. The weight of
the suits will matter but little for on the moon
the pull of gravity is only one-sixth what IT is
on earth. On the moon a man can carry 600 pc @ &
of equipment easily as he could carry %
pounds on the earth. SO hght-footed may the
scientists seem that it may be necessary to supply
the suits with weights. An ordinary carth-stride
would carry a man on the moon some i TO 10 feet.
In the light of present-day knowledge trip
to the moon is not now the Jules Verne fantasy
it was few years ago. More and more 1t Is be-
coming certainty that may we'll be reached in
another century
The moon is the closest of all the earths neigh
bors in the heavens. To astronomers thinking
in terms of millions upon millions of miles OF
space, the moon is very close - only 100000 miles
away
"What kind of ship can man use for trip
to the moon" one asks. Certainly not an arplane,
for its whirling propellers need air to bite into
and make it fly, and the air around the earth
extends only few hundred miles at the most.
Even in the present war pilots at 10000 feet are
complaining their ships lack maneuverability be-
cause the air there is rarefed that the arplane
1uddcrs cannot swing the planes properly.
The best bet among modern inventions for
trip to the moon is the space rocket powered by
huge lets of burning fuel that come out in flaming
"puffs" and kick the rocket through space. Such
rockets work better in a vacuum, where there is
no air present than they do in air. In vacuum
such as exists in nterplanetary space, they would
encounter no air resistance or drag 10 SLOW them
up Thus, as they journey out from the earth,
rocket ships become more and more efficient and
without air drag, can go faster and faster.
Rocket ships would have no rudders to steer
them, for the troubles of present-day pilots at
10000 feet in this regard would be magnfed n ~
times out in space where there is nothing bun
vacuum Rather than rudders there would be
auxiliary steering rockets and also rockets
mounted forward to act as brakes when the
rocket neared the moon.
AS the rocket left the earth it would have to
overcome the pull of gravity. AS the rocket en-
tered into outer space this pull would become less
and less until the rocket had covered about 90
per cent of its journey to the moon. There, about
1000 miles above the surface of the moon IT would

Priority Adjustments

Now Up to O. P. N.
BY the Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Copper
circles today reported their market
working smoothly under complete
priority control after a week of ad-
justment.
These sources said producers felt
that under priorities, the Once OF
Production Management bore the
responsibility when defense GUS
toners failed to get the metal they
wanted.
Early in the week it became ap-
parent that August copper was fully
allocated, leaving some certified
consumers short. Metals Reserve
Corp. was reported to have released
some tonnage.
Copper scrap price ceilings
worried some custom smelters, who
were afraid their supplies might
dwindle. Other than that. the price
picture was unchanged, with domes-
tic copper at IL cents pound and
some export business at II cents,
F. A. S. New York.
Lead and zinc prices, more or less
fixed by Federal order, were un-
changed. Prime Western zinc was
7.25 cents pound at East st. Louis.
Lead was 5.85 to $50 cents pound,
New York, and $40 cents. st. Louis.
July lead statistics placed stocks
at the end of the month at under
10000 tons, lowest since the defense
program started. Domestic ship
ments for July were 54,067 tons, the
American Bureau of Metal Statistics
reported. The trade estimated an
other % 900 tons went to consumers,
mostly from Metals Reserve Corp.
Stockpiles demand for lead con-
tinued to outrun supply.
In steel, pinch also was felt.
Railroads with an "A-3" priority
rating for freight car and locomo-
tive material. complained they
weren't getting enough for rolling
stock or for rails.
Scrap again was the key to the
steel situation. Prices of lower
grades advanced.

Textile Trade More Normal

disinclination on the part of pur-
chasers to bid recklessly for second
hands.
While there was a good turnover
in mems woolen piece goods, the
trade reported millmen were becom-
ing increasingly reticent about COM
mitting themselves beyond February
because of the rising costs situation.
1t was understood no worthwhile
quantity of material had been
promised beyond the second quarter.
Rayon cloth weavers still turned
out the maximum amount of cloth
their limited stocks of yarn would
permit, but production was sharply
curtailed by the Government orders
allvting 10 per cent of stocks to the
hosiery trade. The big topic in
this department, however. was the
price ceiling which the trade awaited
with much interest.
