Vagabond Dreams Ended I f ■ z# . ■j g > .-mmakwikw' When Rudy Vallee (inset), world-tamous crooner, found me gir! of his i “vagabond dreams” and married Fay Webb (above) a little over a year ago, the world sighed and prophesied a long and happy voyage for the crooner's marital barque. But now. owing to "geographical” likes and dislikes, the good ship matrimony is on the rocks. Fay says she cannot 1 live outside her native California and Rudy's career and ambitions are bound up with the East. So a divorce is the only solution to the problem.

I Dress rehearsa s for the sun's, ( . great show were completed Tues < II day in about 40 different spots ,j ' where expeditions have gathered to ( study the eclipse. No time could be lost, these scientists knew, for the total I , eclipse was to be visib'e, clouds'< permitting, no more than 102 sec 1 onds. Little more than a minute < and a half. Os course the partial 1 eclipse was to be visible for two 1 hours or so. ' 1 Men with megaphones at their 1 lips, and watches in their hand... 1 • tol ed off the seconds in these dress J j rehearsals. • Many scientists were concerned' Ji chiefly with pictures of the sun's ; ''crowning glory," the corona; and ■ the flash spectrum. The corona Is' , the brilliant, dazzling halo that) ’ breaks through the cases or atmosphere around the rim of the sun t at the moment the moon hides the j j entire surface of the sun. The flash 1 spectrum is the ralnbow-'ike disj play which flashes just a moment' a before the total eclipse. • Motion picture cameras were . everywhere. occupying all points of | ‘,vantage. towers, buildings, moun f | tains, airplanes, so that an fnquis- ■ 1 Itlve wor’.d dazzled by a sight could I not understand might see that sight

again as the cameras saw it. Many thousands took advantage: of excursion offers to journey into ' the small strip of territory to be favored by the full shadow of the moon. At least one group p'anned to’ enter the favored area, go aloft In' an autogiro, ascend into a ratified area, and sit up there on the air. while they watched and studied the eclipse. Even satic, much maligned accompaniment to most radio proceedings, was listed on the program of radio features of the day. At Conway, a Bell laboratory group. instaled a vacuum tube amplifier to observe the atmospheric disturbances. Other radio scientists at Fryeburg. Me.. Portsmouth, N. H„ and other cities of New England were assembled to listen to the antics of the e'ectrom magnetic waves. E. F. W. Alexanderson, of the General Electric laboratories, was prepared to make a perwa.nent\ record of the sound variations with an automatic recorder, developed by Charles J. Young, son of Owen D. ' Young. For the radio fan. listening through his commercial set, the broadcasting companies have arranged programs over WEAF, I WJZ, WABC, WOR and other stations which will describe the I eclipse. Astronomers from all parts of 'the earth gathered at Fryeburg, Maine, in a preparatory school footI ball field where their intricate ; cameras and spectroscopes were massed. Among the scientists there were Dr. J. H. Moore, of Lick Observatory. Mount Hamilton, Calif.; Dr Herbert D. Curtis, of the University ■of Michigan; Dr. Oliver J. Lee, of

Dearborn Observatory associated with Northwestern University. A final drill yesterday put the scientific staffs through the routine of the eclipse picture taking. Precision chronometers ticked oft the,, seconds as a human voice took upj the count every ten seconds. Dr. Lee rigged up a 100-foot tow-| er with thermometers adjusted every 25 feet to register temper-J atures amt barometric readings. I The readings were to be correlated with planes flying 700. 3,090, 10,000 i and 20,000 feet above the tower. The equipment is part of a scientific study of the Einstein theory of starlight deflection. On a golf course near Magog. ■Que., a little Canadian village which hears the name of a giant antiquity, Dutch, British, American and Can ■ adian scientists waited. Thirty tents were pitched upon |ihe fairways. Under the canvas 1 iwere a quarter of a million dollars :worth of telescopes, cameras and: 'scientific instruments. Among the 'scientists were Professor S. A. 1 '.Mitchell, of the University of Virginia. a University of Cambridge! expedition, men from the Nether- j I lands and Belgium. I Chief interest of the University! lot Virginia group was centered (upon the corona and its spectrum. | |distinguished by a faint green line.: I Thia line, called a flash spectrum, is visible only during a total eclipse. The astrophysicists are primarily concerned with the flush spectrum because it indicates the height to which vapors flare up I from the sun and also gives the, due to the rare chemical composition of the gases. From the faint j green line they hoped to solve the mystery of the atom and the secrets ,ot the sum.
