The best way to observe the eclipse is to use smoked glass or developed photographic film. These may be used cither without optical aid or attached over the front lenses of field glasses. Photographs of the eclipse will be very interesting. Let the camera stand unmoved during the two hours. Every 10 or 15 min utes take a picture. You will thus on one film get a scries of sun images showing the progress of the eclipse. The smallest stop and exposure possible should be used. A filter to cut down the light even more will give better images when the sun is brightest. The images will be .small, but considerable enlargement will give very satisfactory pictures.

Forest Service Fights Moving Sand Dunes In a dramatic fight against the shifting sand dunes in the vicinity of Siltcoos and Sutton lakes, the forestry service is planting 25,000 Scotcli pines and Austrian pines. Dahl J. Kirkpa trick, supervisor, announced Wednesday. The sand dunes had previously been planted with Holland grass, hard and wiry to withstand the as sault of the elements. This is one of the few grasses that will grow at all in sand, Mr. Kirkpatrick said, but even so it is only a temporary expedient against powerful nat ural forces. With the encroachment of the dunes temporarily halted by the grass, the pine seedlings have a fifty-fifty chance of becoming permanently rooted, the forest man said. Nursery stock, about eight inches high, is being used, he added. Hoover Meets Noted Pianist; Recalls Embarrassing Incident PALO ALTO, Cal, April 13. iP) Former President Herbert Hoover and Ignace Jan Padcrew ski, the pianist, who first met 45 years ago under circumstances that were embarrassing for Hoover, re newed their friendship here yes terday. The incident that first brought them together happened in the spring of 1894. when Hoover was a 19-year-old junior student at Stanford, and Paderewski, then 33. was on one of his early concert tours of America. Hoover and several other stu dents arranged a concert for Pad erewski. The young Impressarios, however, failed to realize the date they selected fell during Easter week. Most of the students and faculty members were away, and as a result, few tickets were sold and little money collected. Hoover and his fellows visited the pianist and embarrasscdly ex plained they could not pay the guarantee of S800. However, they offered him S300 and their per sonal notes for the rest. Paderewski agreed to take what was left after expenses, and told the students to forget about the rest. MONOG RAMMED STATIONERY VALLEY PRINTING CO. Officials of the Oregon Mutual Life Insurance company are meet ing at the Osburn hotel Wednes day and Thursday to launch plans for the coming year for the Wal brldgc agency. This agency, which includes northern California and central and western Oregon, has achieved the largest percentage of quota of any agency of the com pany for 1938. The president's cup. which will be awarded in honor of this achievement, will be presented to Perry Walbrldge by W. C. Schuppel, executive vice president of the company. More than 25 leaders of the company's sales force are attending the con vention. Sales of new life insurance by the Oregon Mutual Life Insurance company for the first quarter of 1939 show an increase of over 48 per cent as compared with the sales for the similar period in 1938. When asked for an explana tion of the company's progress, Schruppel said: "I think I can easily explain why legal reserve life insurance as an institution is more popular with the insuring public than ever before. It is because we have tak en a realistic view of the situation. We have forgotten all about 1929, and there is a good reason for this, because our company shows a steady increase in its insurance on the books which now totals over Sti3.000.0IHl, a new all time high and considerably above the 1929 high, which commonly is regarded by nearly everyone as something in the way of a mark at which to aim." The regional meeting was ar ranged by Perry Walbrldge, gen eral agent in charge. Speakers in addition to the leading salesmen included R. R. Brown, vice presi dent and actuary; W. P. Stalnaker, vice president and treasurer; J. J. Caplicc, agency secretary, and J. E. JACKSONVILLt. Fl April 1 The Florida National Bank JACKSONVILLE.
