VATICAN ACCORD OFFICIALLY IS PUT IN FORCE All Catholic Clubs Now Are Under Diocesan Supervision. By United Press VATICAN CITY, Sept. 2.—Official announcement of an accord between the Vatican and the Fascist Kovemment on reopening of Catholic clubs was made today. The accord follows weeks of ncgotations during which ItaloVatican relations often appeared strained. Facists objected to the Catholic clubs declaring they were political. The communique indicated that the Knights of Columbus will be unable to continue conducting athletic institutions in Rome, due to the ban on athletic activity in the Catholic Action clubs. The K. of C. conducted six athletic playgrounds here until they were closed during the Italo-Vatican controversy. Athletics Are Banned A Fascist communique, announcing that the agreement had been reached, said the Society Azione Cattolca will be under diocesan supervision and that the organization will be exclusively religious. It will abstain from athletic activity, the communique said. The change in the administration to diocesan supervision paves the way for membership in both the clubs and the Fascist organizations. It w*as understood that none of the former heads of Catholic political parties would hold office in the new Catholic action. Called Oath Illicit The question of compatibility was considered extremely significant irf the Italo-Vatican negotiations. The pope was considered to have established complete incompatibility between church and state by his sharp censure of Fascist efforts to control the youth of Italy. Although he said he did not wish to condemn the Fascist party and the Fascist regime •as such, an encyclical of July 3, issued in Paris, called the Fascist oath “as it stands, illicit,” and suggested that Catholic youths make mental reservations when they took it. The pope declared the Fascist oath an attempt to monopolize Italian youth for political advantage.

‘ATLAS’ STAR WILL ‘HIDE’ BEHIND MOON

'Eclipse’ of Heavenly Body Friday Visible to Naked Eye: B,y Science. Sere ice WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—A star will hide behind the moon for an hour early in the morning of Friday, Sept. 4. This intersting astronomical event, known as an occultation, does not often happen with a star visible to the naked eye, and is therefore worth watching. The star that will dodge behind the moon this time is known as Atlas, a*d is one of the Pleiades, sometimes erroneously called the “Little Dipper.” Astronomers list it as “27 Tauri.” It is not among the brightest stars, being of only fourth magnitude. But it is easily visible to the naked eye. At the time of the occultation the moon will be gibbous, or “half full.” As seen from Washnigton, it will be riding high in the eastern sky. At 1:07 a. m., eastern standard time, the star will vanish behind the moon’s illuminated edge. At 2:05 a. m. it will reappear from behind the darkened edge. These times will be different for other places, the difference depending on the distance from Washington. The occultation will not be visible in the far west, for it will be over before the moon rises. With even slight optical aid. like Early Bowling j BY LEFTY LEE The Intermediate League start on the uptown alleys produced the first 600 count of the season when Frick, anchor for the Arthur Schultz team, hit for scores of 221 206 and 179. a total of 606.

Diagram showing how the star Atlas will spend an hour hiding behind the moon in the wee hours of the morning on Friday, Sept. 4. a pair of opera glasses or binoculars, a “close-up” of this occultation can be easily obtained. It will be noticed that the star disappears and reappears instantaneously, because there is no air on the moon to cause a gradual absorption of its light. Occultation occurs because the moon, in its motion around the earth, occasionally gets in the way of a star. The length of time elapsing while the star is concealed is a measure of the speed of the moon’s motion. Astronomers take advantage of occultations to obtain accurate checks on the behavior of the moon.

RUSH ANTITOXIN BY PLANE TO SAVE OFFICER Chicago Policeman Stricken With Rare, Dangerous Malady. By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 2—An airplane roared into Chicago from Detroit today carrying antitoxin to be used in an effort to save the life of Policeman W. R. Murphy, who is critically ill of a rare disease known as anthrax. Murphy was stricken last Friday. Late Tuesday Dr. Emanuel J. Wexler diagnosed the illness as the first case of anthrax in Chicago in five years. When it was discovered there was no anthrax antitoxin in Chicago, Wexler ordered a supply rushed here by airplane. Murphy’s fellow officers at the Rogers Park station raised $l5O to finance the trip. Anthrax is a rare disease which is said to originate in cattle or sheep. Wexler said Murphy contracted it from an infected shaving brush. CRUSADERS SEIZE BEER Eisenhut’s Raiding Squad Pounces on Alleged North Side Joint.

JOAN CRAWFORD IN 1 REAL MODERN ROLE Three-Ring Circus Will Be One of the Features on the Nightly Bill at State Fair Next Week. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN A HIGHLY sophisticated and smart story of Paris is told in “This Modem Age,” which brings Joan Crawford to the Palace starting Saturday. Miss Crawford plays the role of a young woman who has not seen her divorced mother since childhood. They are reunited and react more like friends than mother and daughter, for the ultra-modem parent does the same things her daughter does. When her daughter finally falls in love with the son of conservative Boston aristocrats, it is this ultra freedom of her mother that breaks

up the romance. The lover doesn't want a girl whose mother “runs around.” A series of exciting events leads up to the denouement, which is capped with a surprise climax. The picture, which was adapted from the Mildred Cram novel, “Girls Together,” gives Miss Crawford opportunities in the “whoopee” type of part with which she has been so successful in the past, although the story obviously has its serious moments. Pauline Fredrick, as the mother, is also given a chance for clever acting, and the cast also includes Neil Hamilton, who scored with Norma Shearer in “Strangers May Kiss”; Monroe Owsley, recently seen opposite Gloria Swanson in “Indiscreet”; Hobart Bosworth, Emma Dunn, Albert Conti, Adrienne d'Ambricourt and Marcelle Corday. Nicholas Grinde directed. William T. Tilden 11, the world’s foremost tennis champion, in the third of a series on the art of tennis playing, entitled “Forehand, Backhand Service,” heads the program of surrounding short films. Hal Roach's “Boy Friends” in their newest all-talking comedy, the latest issue of the Hearst Metrotone News and a Flip the Frog cartoon complete the bill. u n n CIRCUS BOOKED AT STATE FAIR O. E.
