b Monday, November 17, 1924 TflifAL ECLIPSE OP THE SUN I "ill <fccur Fop a Few Minutes on the Morning of January 24, 1925. I |Ey tb« Associated Pirns.) ! Haven, Conn., Nov. 15.—For a few minutes on the morning of January j 24 nett, the moon will get between the' earth and the sun and cut off all the light we get from that body. This eclipse will be visible in the United Stales, mid, it doubtless will be sen by more millions of people than any such occurrence In the pafit, according to Professor E. W. Brown, of Yale University. An eclipse |s not a rare event, one or two ofccur every year, but the one next January is notable for the fact that it occurs in a territory from which the light of the sun has not been wholly obscured by the moon within .the memory of any one living. "If we look over the records of past ' \ eclipses, Professor Brown said, “and the ' predictions for future eclipses w? soon. see [ that in any one place there will be a to tal eclipse ■of the sun only once fur every few htindred years. The coming eclipse will produce dorkhess over a harrow band of territory which ' stretches from a ——ti Mtist you start snow Itd save for a heme? „ Think of the sacrifices you 2 made in order to save j \ enough to build a home.

The hour of the phe nomenon is between nine and nine-thirty, t Eastern Standard Time.” • j "’There was an eclipse in 11)19, visible ;; in Brazil and Central- West Africa, aud ■ another last September, , seen’by the peo ■ pie of California and Northern Mexico. 1, The accuracy with which the time and i position can be predicted for an eclipse' i I* high, Professor Brown went on to say. The staff of the Unied Sates Naval Ob servatory at Washington is always at ■ work calculating the positions of the ; heavenly bodies years in advance in order that the predictions may be useful. The horthern and southern edges of tbe shad ow Pan be laid down within a mile. Hence, W'liep the almanac- predicts that the south ern edge will cross the iipper end of Cen tral Park in New York City it is fairly I certain that the shadow will not keep off I the grass. All this knowledge, however, is not a product*of the present genera tion. It has been slowly accumulating through many centuries. Most of it is due to the proof of the law of gravita tion which was given by Isaac Newton toward the end of the 17th century. “But we have to pay our homage to observers for their industry .much fur ther back than that,’’ the professor con tinued. “More than 2500 years ago the Chaldeans were ablet to predict when eclipses would occur, because they had learned that there is a long series of them reheated in a little over 18 years. It is remarkable that they should have been able to get this knowledge because any eclipse does not cover quite the same part of the earth's surface as the correspond ing one which occurred 18 years before. They jnust have kept records over at least a century, perhaps over many cen turies. before the cycle- was discovered. , The eclipse of next January will lie seen by many millions of people. In the map which has been issued by the naval obser vatory it is seen that the southern boun dary of flic band over which the sun will be totally eclipsed just covers Du luth (Minn.) Menominee (Mich.) Frankfort (Mich) London (Ont.) Dun kirk (,N. Y.) Wilkes-Barre (Pa), and New York City north of entral Pork. Well inside the northern edge are Mau istique (Mich.). Toronto (Ont.). Auburn. Hudson, (X. Y.). New Bedford (Mass.), while a mile or two outside are Syra cuse (N. Y ). Springfield (Mass.), and Providence (fi. I.). Tlie observations which are to be made by the observatories within the region of totality are not yet fully known. Some of them will devote the brief two. min utes during which the eclipse lasts to photographing that marvelous fringe of light which is never seen except at a to tal eclipse, is known as the corona. Others will try to get accurate positions of flic moon and also photographs of it so that its size and shape shall be better known.” Professor Brown -is chairman of a committee appointed by the American Astronomical Society to inform the pub lic concerning this eelopse.

DENTIST SAYS AMERICANS DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EAT Must Eat More Whole Grain Bread and Cooked Vegetables. Dallas, Texas, Nov. 15. —Unless the American people eat more tfhole grain breads, more vegetables cooked tA retain the lime salts, more whole milk and nat ural sweets, “the next two or three gen erations will be a nation of weaklings; so far as bone aud teeth are concerned,” Dr. C. B. Fowlkes of Birmingham, Ala., asserted in an address today at the Amer ican Dental Association convention. “In the matter of diet, theidental pro fession has an opportunity for doing a real service in outlining a diet that fur nishes the necessary lime salt sto build tooth and bone structure during the pre natal and pre-school period, as well as during childhood to, the eightieth year,” Dr, C. B. Fowlkes said. "Cue has only to look about him to see that the American people are not eating the right kind of breads, rice aud sweets, to say nothing of properly pro portioned vegetable diet,” the speaker declared. He stated that it is possible for any individual to reduce decay in his own mouth 75 per cent, by proper home pro phylaxis, and that proper mouth hygiene would reduce the percentage of contag ious diseases in children, such as mumps, measles, scarlet fever, etc. . Accuracy! Accuracy! Sohie people never miss an opportunity for contradiction. The fhet suggests to the Edinburgh Scotsman the story of the womdn who was traveling through North Wales.'
