ECLIPSE OF SUN EXCITES INTEREST OF SCIENTISTS

'New York. —A new record for the number of astronomical parties observing a total eclipse of the sun will be set on August 31 of this year, when the moon’s shadow passes across eastern Canada and New England. Word has already been received of 16 institutions whose representatives will be in the path of the shadow, and probably a number of others will also send astronomers to make observations only possible when the moon hides the sun. Hundreds of other professional and amateur students of the heavens will go to see this rare phenomenon, generally regarded as the most impressive of natural spectacles. Eight of the scientific partle* nowplanned are from American institutions. two from Canada, four from England, and one each from Russia and Japan. ; The path along which they will be located Is about 100 miles wide and passes south of Hudson bay, across Quebec, over the St. Ijiwrence river from a point about eight miles west of Montreal to one about twentyfive miles east of Three Rivers. Both of these cities are therefore well within the band of totality. Entering the United States, the path is across hoftheastern Vermont, all of New Hampshire except the southwestern corner, southwestern Maine, the northeastern corner of Massachusetts, and Cape Cod. The shadow will cover all of the Atlantic coast between Salem, Mass., and Boothbay. Maine. The most northerly accessible point from which to observe the total eclipse is Parent. Quetiec, on the Canadian National railway, about 185 miles northwest of Montreal. Two expeditions, those of the Dominion observatory at Ottawa and the Royal observatory at Greenwich. England, are expected to make this town their headquarters. At Sorel, Quebec, on the St. I .awrence river, close to the center of the path, the expedition from the McCormick observatory of the University of Virginia will be located, Astronomers of McGill university at Montreal will make observations from their own city, where they will be Joined by a group from the University of London. Astronomers from Cambridge, university will go to -Magog. Quebec. . Most of the parties located tn the United States have chosen the vicinity of Conway. N. IL. Including North and Center Conway, and Fryeburg, Maine, as observation points. Groups from the Lick observatory of the University of California and the Sproul observatory of Swarthmore college will go to Fryeburg.

Franklin institute, Philadelphia, will go a little further west, to Conway, according to tentative plans. The group from the Perkins observatory of Ohio Wesleyan university will locate at Douglass Hill, near Sebago, Maine. At this same location will be a party from the Royal Astronomical society, London. Other exj>editions from the Mount WilSon observatory, the University of Indiana, the Kwasan observatory of the Kyoto Imperial university, Japan, and the Central Astronomical observatory at Pulkova. Russia, are expected. Most of the observations to be made by these astronomers, if ’ cloudy weather does not make the elaborate preparations in vain, will be photographs of the solar corona. The corona is the outermost part of the sun, so faint that It Is generally invisible because of the great glare from the light of the Inner part. When the solar disk is covered by the moon, at the time of a total eclipse, the corona becomes visible. In addition to direct photographs, in black and white, natural color and motion, made through cameras ranging from small kodaks to huge astronomical Instruments as much as 85 feet long, spectroscopic photographs will be made of the corona to determine its composition and motion. Other spectroscopic observations will be of the flash spectrum, seen when the last sliver of sun Is visible just before the moon completely covers it. or when the first bit reappears just after the total phase is over. Such observations give valuable information about the sun s atmosphere. Still other observations to be attempted will be photographs of the shadow bands which appear on the ground before and after the total eclipse, and of the shadow of the moon as it sweeps over the earth. One observation that has engaged the atten tion of astronomers at recent eclipses, will be lacking, however. This Is the photography of stars close to the sun, to determine whether their light is deflected by the c solar gravitation, as predicted by Einstein. There will be* 'no stars sufficiently bright in the sun’s neighborhood at the time of the August eclipse. : "Sell” Own Country Stockholm. —“Know your own country’’ is the slogan of the Swedish Tourist association, which now has nearly 130,000 members.

THE FORMALITY OF MARRIAGE By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Emeritus Dean of Men, University of Illinois.

The savage and the civilized, when at their best, have always emphasized the seriousness of

the marriage relation by surrounding it with ceremony and dignifying it! with music and color and garments befitting an event of importance. Haste and informality even in the case of the most Illiterate savage were not tolerated. Time&was involved when mar riage was conteiu-

plated. There was always .elaborate preparation which gave opportunity for deliberation and which left in the minds of all concerned the seriousness of the obligation which was about to be taken. One has only to read the accounts of these preparations among the most primitive tribes of all countries to realize how important an event marriage was considered even among peoples whosfe sociological development was very incomplete indeed. The church, especially those churches which make any attempt at ritualistic form, has always made marriage much more than a legal contract. It ha* given it dignity and surrounded it with ceremony. Music and lights and .flowers and formal dress have emphasized and dignified it. There lies before me now a formal announcement that the parents of a young woman with whom I am acquainted wish to make the public acquainted with the fact that their daughter has entered into an engagejment to marry a certain young man. Sometimes such an announcement seems like broadcasting one’s private affairs, but it is not so. The custom is'an old one; a dignified one, and one which might with propriety become more common. There are too many informal marriages, and their result is likely to be disastrous. There was a formal social function in town not long ago which two young people had driven a hundred miles to attend. ", TLet's get married." the man suggested to the girl when there was a lull in the social activities. She was*, not to be outdone, so they were off and routed out the county clerk; and waked up a justice of the peace, and amid hilarity and laughter they Were married. There was no serious consideration of what they were doing, no solemn ritual; they were simply putting on a vaudeville stunt at a social function. I wonder hpw it will turn out. , (©. 1932, Western Newspaper t’nlon.)

Outlines Six Steps for Land Use Plan “Much lower prices for what he sells, higher, prices for what he buys, and higher falxes —these are the upper and nether millstones which are slowly grinding the life out of rural America,” said Prof. M. L. Wilson of Montana State College in a radio address, over an NBC network in the . program of the National Advisory Council on Radio In Education. “Fortunately, there is away out,” Wilson stated, “but the way demands a reversal of the basic land policy of the nation.” The speaker presented six steps in a program for land utilization. First In the list of six fundamentals suggested by Professor Wilson Is the repeal of the Homestead Act and the enactment of a new national land policy bill which, he pointed but. Is essential because there is no more fund in the public domain suitable for farming and home building. “Secondly, each state should classify its lands, develop a state-wide land use plan and institute a program of action,” Professor Wilson advised. The third step is that poor land, as determined by land utilization studies, should be taken out of production. Additional steps In the plan presented by Professor Wilson include the modification of land taxes and reorganization of local government; the withdrawal of poor lands from production to solve the surplus problem. Suggesting how this might be carried out, he explained thb “Domestic Allotment Plan” which calls for the Issuance of certain-allotments to farmers to grow the kinds of crops they have been growing, the farmer to receive tariff protection on the alloted acres. Finally, Wilson recommended part time farming and the decentralization of industry. Td prevent men who are farming unsuitable land from joining the
