EXPERT TELLS WHY ECLIPSE TAKES PLACE Moon Gets in Earth’s Shadow and Shuts Off Sun’s Light. Thl* I* (hr sernnd of three articles on the eclipse of the sun on Am. 24. BY CATT. FREDERICK HELLWEG U. S. N. Superintendent United States Naval Observatory 'Copyright. 1932. by United Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 —One of the most frequent questions is ‘ What causes the eclipse?” The moon revolves around the earth in its own path, called its orbit. This orbit almost is circular, and the plane of this orbit passes very close to the sun. The moon has no light of its own. What we see is the reflection of the sun’s brilliant light from the face of the moon, as a light is reflected from a mirror. The moon is more than 2,000 miles in diameter and of course no light can pass through; therefore, the side of the moon away from the sun is dark, and the moon's shadow, like an enormous cone with the moon as Its base, sweeps through space as the moon travels Its orbit. Gets in Other’s Shadow The earth is about 8,000 miles in diameter, and it does exactly the same as the moon. The side of the earth toward the sun is illuminated brilliantly, and heated by the warmth of the sun. The side away from the sun is dark. We say it is night time there. The shadow of the earth Is another enormous cone of darkness sweeping through space as we travel our orbit. As these two bodies speed through space with tremendous velocity, occasionally one gets in the other’s shadow. This can happen only when the sun, moon and earth are in a straight line. Whichever is in the middle blocks the sunlight from the other. If the moon is in the middle it blocks the sunlight from the earth and we say there is a solar eclipse. But if the earth is in the middle we block the sunlight from the moon and wc say there is a lunar eclipse. The Inoon travels around the earth once in twenty-eight days. The moon’s speed to make the trip averages about 1,112 miles per hour. Eclipse Time Is Short The earth is spinning at the rate of 1,000 miles per hour so that you can see that anew section of the earth’s surface is being continuously brought within the shadow of the moon’s cone during the period of the eclipse. The earth also is traveling along its own orbit around the sun. The result of all these motions is to make the time of the total eclipse at any point very short. The relative motion causes one of the most awe-inspiring manifestations of the total eclipse. You suddenly are plunged into "darkness. All living things seem to hold their breath; and over all these spreads a deathlike silence which is uncanny. ’ Almost immediately, the wonderful spectacle is over, the swiftly moving bodies—moon and earth—get out of line with the sun. The sun again appears as a thin crescent, rapidly grows, and the eclipse is a matter of history. pledge" loan - capital City Associations Raise SBOO,OOO for New' Federal Bank.

SEEK TO CUT EXPENSE OF COUNTY’S WARD Budget Makers Ponder Means of Slashing $150,000 Item. Means of reducing costs for care of dependent children, as wards in private institutions, is sought today by county budget makers. Councilmen hope to slash request of commissioners for $150,0C0 for this purpose. A $90,000 budget was insufficient last year, additional appropriations bringing the cost to SIOB,OOO. Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler said the county’s dependent children had increased 25 per cent the last year. Institutions are paid 75 cents daily for care of each child. Walter Boetcher, council president, declared he had asked Geckler to cut this daily cost to 65 cents. Juvenile authorities estimate the county has approximately 700 wards.

FAIR WARNING! QUIT HOARDING DERBYJIALLOTS Votes Will Be Dated After Tuesday; Race Still Is Torrid One. SKULL STANDINGS Tom Quinn 2.835 “Cootie'' McGinnis 2,073 E. W. Mush rush 1.436 Earl Cox M3 E.

SheafTer 283 Bob Pogue 184 Clarence “Push" Marvel 172 Harry Bason 102 ALL UNDATED”BROWN DERBY BALLOTS MUST BE IN THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES OFFICE BY TUESDAY MORNING. Read that and weep, you derbyites who have been hoarding, a miser's greed, those square votes with the “kelly” on them. After an all-night session atop a casket in Mr. Sweeney’s morgue, the Brown Derby judges decided to date ballots in the contest to select the city’s most distinguished citizen, beginning Tuesday morning. Dated ballots must be cast in The Times office within twenty-four hours of their date. That means that Tuesday’s votes must be in The Times or in the mail by midnight on next Wednesday. Here’s Another Rule Now for another rule in this unruly contest. Monday but ten names, the ten highest, will be printed in the Skull standings. Any one at any time can edge into those standings if hemusters votes enough to cut out the low man. It will be the last guillotine to fall until the close of the contest. The close, set tentatively for next Saturday—Sept. 3—may be extended to Sept. 6. The winner will be announced the day following the contest’s close and he will be crowned the night of Sept. 8— Governors day—at the Indiana s*ate fair. It was a three-horse race up to press-time today between Tom Quinn, “Cootie” McGinnis, and E. W. “Foxtrot” Mushrush. Watch for Dark One But strong rumors persist that out of the pack will come a Derby entrant that will flash toward the finish line an easy winner. Who is he? Yeah, who? Watch each edition of The Times for standings, to get ballots, and to hear the latest bulletins from the unjudicial ravings of the judges, who never judged a porcupine in a bristle show. Vote for Blank Blank or John Doe or anyone today to wear the BROWN DERBY, receive the plaque, at the fair on Sept. 8. You’ll hear oratory you never heard before at his coronation and some oratory you’ll never hear again. Get going!

Pleasure Added to Auto Trips by New Type Radio

Distant Stations &n Be Tuned In Clearly by Improved Set. Installation of radio on motor cars has added a great pleasure to driving and relied the tedious monotony of long drives. Like a great many other ideas, the working out of this idea was not so successful at first, for there is a vast difference in the installation of a radio in a quiet house and the installation in a running piece of machinery. Engineers have worked out a radio especially designed for this. It is not an adaptation of something else, but a specialty for this purpose alone. It is the Motorola auto radio, distributed by Kruse Radio, Inc., 33 West Ohio street. This company, which has been operating twelve years, is headed by C. J. Kruse, president, and E. L. Kruse, vice-president. It sells the Motorola, the Sparton radio, Sparton mechanical refrigeration and radio parts and accessories, and maintains a service de-

Fifty Years Experience Aids Sheet Metal Firm

Gardner Company Has Had Extensive Career in Business. Few business houses in this part of the country have had the long experience of Joseph Gardner Company, 147-153 Kentucky avenue. That experience, too, is of a kind that can be applied every day to its work in sheet metal, which includes just about everything in that line. Many factories in the state owe

COOL NORTHERN TOUROFFERED Many Pleasant Cruises Are Now Available. A trip north within the next two months is one of the world’s greatest delights. One not only escapes the hot weather that is sure to come, but he also gets a slight touch of the early fall, a crispness in the atmosphere which puts real pep into jaded bodies and minds. There are tours into the Canadian Rockies, farther on into the Alaskan wonders on the one side, and tours over the great waterways of eastern Canada, with the wonderful fishing off the banks. Two of the most popular of such cruises are those starting from Montreal and visiting Prince Edward island, St. Pierre and Newfoundland, and those starting at New York with stops at Nova Scotia, St. Pierre, Newfoundland and other points of interest. Sailings are to be made every Saturday up to and including Sept. 24. Formerly such tours required much preparation and work. Now, thanks to organization of travel bureaus, the traveler may have the rest and comfort of the trip without feverish preparations beforehand. The travel department of the Union Trust Company, 120 East Market street, takes all the discomfort out of this preparation. Under the guidance of Richard A. Kurtz, its manager, one is provided with a complete itinerary and the details that harass travelers to foreign countries are cared for, even to the matters of transportation tickets and travelers’ checks. This service extends to trips anywhere. One may select a west Indian or South American trip, a sail through the Mediterranean or a voyage anywhere, and leave Indianapolis with all details settled, the pathway made smooth and the journey made easy. It is a remarkable service—one t..at makes traveling much more of a delight, and Kurtz and his assistants always are glad to help plan any kind of an outing that involves travel.

DENVER PAPERS TILT IN $200,000 LIBEL CHARGE F. G. Bonfiles of Post Sues Editors of Scripps-Howard Publication. By United Press DENVER. Aug. 27. Denver’s newspapers went to law Friday in a $200,000 libel suit. Frederick G. Bonfils, publisher of the Denver Post asked that sum, SIOO,OOO personal damages and SIOO,000 exemplary damages, in a suit against Charles Lounsbury, editor of the Rocky Mountain News, and Roy W. Howard and Robert P. Scripps, chief stockholders in the ScrippsHoward paper. Bonfils charged that a report of a speech given by Walter Walker, chairman of the state Democratic party, and publisher of a Grand Junction (Colo.) newspaper, carried in the News, “was intended and designed to injure and agrieve Bonfils and to blacken his good name and reputation.” The speech was delivered here Aug. 9, before the Jane Jefferson Club, a woman's political organization, and the report of it was carried in the Rocky Mountain News on Aug. 10.

partment that is among the best equipped in the state. The Motorola is claimed to be the only self contained all electric motor set on the market, with no "B” batteries and no eliminator to install. Sets are made in eight tubes and in sixes. Each has perfect automatic volume control, full dynamic speaker and balanced units. It is declared to be of extreme sensitivity and amazing pick-up of distance. * Installations can be made without marring the car in any way, with the convenience of an illuminated tuning dial on the steering post as easy to tune in as sounding the horn.

The company in its long career has had so many of these jobs and profited so much by its experience that its installations always are effective and economical. Activities include many different forms of sheet metal work, such as roofing, guttering, spouting and practically everything that applies to a building in that line. They also include the manufacturing of sheet metal backgrounds for display windows, milk cans and other dairy supplies; chimney tops, smoke and other piping and castings. Work is dons in copper, tin and sheet iron and steel. One of the outstanding displays of the company’s workshop is in the copper lights and lanterns used in the Hollywood hotel, Hollywood, Fla. The company- has done a large number of installations of various kinds in many states. Management is in the hands of the third generation of the family. Each generation has been careful to see that the high standards set for the business in 1882 are maintained. Courteous, efficient and responsible business relations are maintained with a long list of permanent customers, and when sheet metal work is discussed, someone is sure to say, “Let’s see Joe Gardner,” and the matter is settled.

MINERAL WATER IS HELD TO BE HEALTHBENEFIT Advantages of Resort Now Are Available in Crystal Form. Texas is remarkable for a number of things of unusual advantage to the rest of the world. Among these, perhaps the most remarkable is the water at Mineral Wells. In fact, Mineral Wells already has become one of the outstanding health resorts of the world because these palatable and efficient eliminative waters exist there in such abundance. The water is sought by persons suffering from such ailments as rheumatism, high or low blood pressure, diabetes, neuritis and diseases of the stomach, bowels, kidneys and liver. Amazing benefits are reported regularly and the number of persons who have been ill and have benefited at these wells is large. Not every one can go to Texas; consequently the next best thing is to bring the water to the homes of suffering individuals. Water Is Evaporated Since it is the minerals in the water that make it so effective, some genius conceived the idea of evaporating the water down to the minerals, and thereby produced what is known as crazy crystals—the natural product of the mineral wells with the water itself evaporated. Many Indiana residents use them. They say these crystals bring to their homes a great health resort. The Crazy Crystal Company opened a downtown exclusive Crazy Crystale store at 114 East Washington street. A level teaspoon of the crystals to a pint of water is the usual way in which the water is prepared. The eliminative process cleans up the system and gives one a chance to get well. It is claimed for these crystals that when directions followed they will cleanse the ‘intestines promptly, clear the blood stream of poisons and neutralize acidity, promote eliminative processes and help the liver and kidneys in their functions. Discovered 50 Years Ago The name “Crazy” comes from the first recorded curative effect of these waters, fifty years ago, when two hysterical women were relieved of their troubles through drinking the waters. At that time the first well was given the name of “Crazy Women Well” and later the water came to be known as the crazy water. When they began to make crystals of this water the only logical name for them was Crazy Crystals and that is the origin of this unusual name. Since the crystalization process was developed, the Crazy Crystal business has developed to enormous proportions, until now the crystals are sold throughout the United States and in many foreign countries.
