MIDNIGHT OWLS TO GET VIEW OF MOONEGLIPSE Luna to Enter Shadow of Earth at 12:25 Tuesday Morning. t Hi) science Service Amateur astronomers and other •light owls will have h. good excuse &r staying up after midnight tonight to see an eclipse. The moon is scheduled to enter the shadow of the earth, and partially disappear frofri the sight of the curious at 2:39 Tuesday morning. At that time it will assume the dull, cop-pery-red color characteristic of the eclipsed moon. At 12:25 a. m. the first phase of the eclipse commences, but for some ume after that will there be noticeable effect. The earth’s shadow, extending out into space on the side opposite the sun, is divided into two parts. The inner, and darker, part is called the umbra. To a person within it the sun would be completely covered. Outside this is the penumbra. Starts at 12:25 Jn it the imaginary observer would see part of the sun. If he were near the umbra, he would only see a little slice of the sun’s edge, 'he farther from the center he was, the more of the sun would he see. It is the penumbra that the moon enters at 12:25. All during the evening it will be full. At 12:25 it will begin to enter the shadow of our planet. About an hour later, at 1:24, the moon will begin to enter the umbra. By that time the southeast edge of the moon will begin to darken. When 7:39 arrives, the moon will be engulfed. Then it probably will appear reddish in color, because some light of the sun is bent around and into the umbra by the earth’s rtmosphere. As the red light passes through thick layers of atmsphere most easily, the eclipsed moon is ipt to be of a coppery-red color, leaves Shadow at 5:5S Total phase of the eclipse ends at ’:29. Then the moon starts to merge from the umbra, and the northeastern edge of the moon be>ins to brighten again. By 5:33 the noon completely has emerged from the inner shadow and appears almost as bright as ordinarily. Finally, by 5:38, it will have left the entire shadow. As the sun will be nearly up by that time, the morning twilight will hamper astronomical observations. The observer really might just as well return to his warm bed after the end of the total phase.

HOOVER SEEKS TO SHIFT ‘CLUB’ IN LIQUOR LAW Expected to Push Transfer of Enforcement to Justice Official. BY PAUL R. MALLON I’nited Press SUIT Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Presi-dent-Elect Herbert Hoover is working on a plan to transfer prohibition enforcement from the treasury to the justice department, it is learned from his dry friends here. The Anti-Saloon League and ardent drys opposed the scheme when it was first suggested by President Harding in 1921, but it is understood they now have become convinced of the feasibility of the move as an aid to prohibition enforcement. It is expected Hoover will include the recommendation in his inaugural address, following it up with a recommendation for legislation to

his new congress, for congress must authorize the transfer if it is to be made. The idea of the project is to coordinate the enforcement and prosecution ends of the prohibition act. Federal district attorneys throughout the country, now largely direct the activities of gathering up evidence because it is the attorneys who must prosecute the cases. But technically the agents are under the treasury department where they were placed by the original Vo.stead act on the theory that liquor enforcement would be like enforcement of the narcotic laws. Hoover never has mentioned thmatter publicly and did not discus*, it in his presidential campaign, bus; he has talked it over with certain of his closest friends who also are friends of prohiibtion. They sounded out the attitude of the leading drys, finding they were entirely favorable to the proposal. Plans Thanksgiving Aid CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Nov. 26.
