From Mrs. S.N. W., HydttSUille, Nd
A number of readers have request
ed information about a floor treat
ment for hardwood floors. A floor
specialist recommended a finish to
me which is easy to use and can be
applied to worn places without doing
the whole floor, with wonderful re-
suits. 1t may be followed by coat
of wax or not, as you desire; the
wax gives more shine, of course. The
finish comes in three shades, and
for most floors the light or colorleSs
shade is best. Don't make the mis-
take of putting medium or dark on
a blond floor or it will darken your
floor. Call the RICH for name and
location of the finish.

WASHING SHAWLS;
SANDWICH SPREADS?

from Mrs. r. C. p, Washington
Since I've not seen a reply to the
lady whose baby shawls were washed
wrong, having had the same trouble,
here's what I did and it worked
beautifully. Wash in cool, mild suds,
until sudsy water is clean-leave
soap in wool. Squeeze dry don't
wiring; take dripping shawl and pin
on curtain stretchers, pull as tightly
as possible.
The three I did this way are Just
as light and fluffy, although a little
larger than they were originally.
The next washing just laid them
out fiat on an old sheet, pulling
straight the sides. / have no curtain
Stretchers, so kind neighbor let
me use hers the first time.
Now problem: Lunches for my
husband who does not like cheese,
peanut butter or jelly for sand
witches. That leaves fish, eggs and
meat as only filling and you know
the problem of getting all three of
the above items at this time. Does
any one have some ideas for tasty
sandwich Spreads-points are no
problem, it's the commodities!

~ finger of the moons shadow
Z y will sweep a pencil-thin finger
OF darkness across the nations North
west in a total eclipse of the sun.
For brief seconds binding
blaze of sunlight will be wiped out
and man will have one of those rare
chances to see the solar corona; the
mysterious Ercenish pearly halo of
glowing light that shines far out in
space from the suns surface.
Only when the moon blocks the
sun can the unaided eye see such
celestial splcndor.
TomOrroW's eclipse will be visible
from 81 to 76 seconds, depending
upon where the observer stands in the
path of totality-the curying narrow
band that starts up in Valley County,
Idaho, near Boise, and runs through
Butte and Helena, Montana, to Sas-
katchewan, Canada, and Greenland.
Elsewhere in the United States
the eclipse will be seen as partial"
At New York this partial phase will
begin at 607 a. m. and end at 8:04
a. m. local time. At Chicago it begins
at sos a. m. and ends at 1902 a. m.
Major riddle of the eclipse is the

fists because it seems hotter than the
suns flaming surface whereas it
ought to be Cooler-much cooler
1t is as strange as though your
hand were burned more quickly when
several feet away from, rather than
in contact with, hot stove.
If there are any astronomers on
the planet Mars, they must be equally
mYstified in observing the bursting
of our war rockets, which would seem
to them like intensely hot spots in
the earth's cold stratOsphere.
Prof. Neigh Mad Saba of the Uni
verSity of Calcutta has developed
new theory which does much to solve
this mystery of the corona.
Recently, as a member of the In
dian Scientific Mission visiting this
country, he explained it in an inter
view for The American Weekly.
The seeming enormously high
temperatures of the solar corona,
running above 100000 degrees Fab
renheit, are caused by cracked atoms,
says Professor Saba.
These atoms are radioactive, eX-
ploding heavyweight uranium, thori-
um and actinium, which must be

perature at the solar surface?
Professor Saha's theory says the
intense heat is generated in the linn
tied areas where the atomic rockets,
hurled from the solar surface, eX.
plode again and again.
The iron, nickel, calcium and other
highly excited atoms in the corona
are the products of the cracked uran.
ium and thorium atoms.
Their outer electrical charges, the
electrons, are blown off. In this
strange, stripped condition they send
out the mysterious light signals that
man observes as the "coronal lines"
Uranium and thorium atoms split
apart into fragments when neutrons
and other Subatomic bullets" pene-
trate their centers. They might gush
out of the suns deep interior, like
volcanic lava erupting.
The production and action of the
solar atomic rockets, according TO
Or. Saba, results also in the be -.
bardment of the carth's atmosph6SI
with "electron bullets"
These highly energetic bullets"
may have much to do with producing
the Northern Lights, magnetic
storms and many dramatic magnetic
and electrical effects on earth.
AS DR.. Saba points out, every star
has its own corona, although Scien.
lists cannot observe it.

be on very firm foundation.
To identify chemical elements in
the sun, scientists pass the light rays
of the corona through glass prisms
which split light into colored bands
marked with bright or dark lines.
The specific pattern of the lines
Identifies a particular kind of atom in
the sun, just as fingerprints identify
people The beautiful pearly radiance
of the corona extends as far as TO-
100000 to 100000 miles from the
solar sphere.
Until about three years ago no
body really knew what kind of matter
there was in the corona.
Then DR.. Bengt Eden, Swedish
astronomer, discovered that the cor
onal light came from atoms of iron,
nickel and calcium, excited TO tenn

BIG BRITISH FLEET,
EQUIPPED FOR DUTY,
ARRIVES IN PACIFIC
Ry United Press

A complete British fleet, nclud-
ing screening force of cruisers
and destroyers, as well as aircraft
carriers and other fighting ships,
has arrived in Australia under
command of Adm. Sir Bruce Fras-
er, it was disclosed Tuesday night
by George Thomas Folster. NBC
correspondent in the Philippines.
Folster, according to the broad
cast recorded in San Francisco by
NBC, said that it was assumed
that Fraser's force. under the
command of Admiral Chester W.
Nimitz, will operate as an indie
pendent unit. The Australian squa-
dron, attached to the U S. Seventh
Fleet, will not be shifted.
Folster said headquarters spokes-
men pointed out that the Austria
lians hae to change a great deal
of equipment in order to use U. S.
ammunition and that another
change over for the British fleet
would be to oexpensive in time
and labor.

a communicate from this headquar-

patrol planes attached to General
Douglas MacArthur's Southwest
Pacific Command made a new
penetration north into japanese
waters.
The communique, reporting this
first strike by Southwest Pacific
planes so far north of the Philip
pines, said they had shot down
four Japanese planes and set fire
to five coastal freighters east and
south of Formosa Sunday.
Pacific carrier task force planes
raided Formosa early in October
and the long-held japanese island
some 225 miles north of the Philip
pines, was bombed three times by
B-29s between the first and mid
die of October. This was just prior
to the invasion of the Philippines
by Macarthur forces.)
The new long-range blow came
after fighter bombers operating
from fields on Leyte and Mindoro
Islands, in the central Philippines,
had hammered targets and ship
ping at vital Luzon Island. Ware
houses, railroad installations, pow
er plants and wharves on south
