Count Felix von Lnckner might
not agree on that word "pirate”
although he was called a bnccan- j
cer often enough ' during t h « i
world war period. Anyhow, his I
exploits were as thrilling as any <
pirate tale, and. best o f all, the
story is trne and is told by the c

He turned an .old American «
schooner into a raider that sailed r
through the allied bloeade die- «

audacity of the attempt helped
its success.

Things have changed. Wom
an’s place is no longer restricted
to the home, with a large share
of her time spent in the kitchen.
The modern woman does not
neglect her home. In fact | she
has made home life more invit
ing and more inspiring than ever
before, because she has develop
ed an extremely efficient ’ degree
of scientific management.
She
is a devoted mother and wife,
ideal, and yet has more time for
herfeelf than ever before.
Not so long , ago .bake d a y
meant a day at home and most of
it in the kitchen. Baking is now
a matter of minutes rather than
hours, thanks to Calumet, t h e
world’s greateta Baking Powder.
Just to give you some idea of
the time and the energy that can
be saved through the use of an
efficient baking powder, let us
suppose that you were to make a
batch of biscuits. It would re
quire only ten minutes to bake,
demanding al] told only twenty
minuteH of your time. It makes
possible greater baking speed and
also a far finer quality of foods
and enable the housewife to sup
ply her family with healthful
and easily digested' bakings.
It
also enables her to devote more
time to her own personal inter
ests.

¡Astronomers Are Awaiting Moon

Eclipse Said to be V isiblaSoon
mysteries of the moon, English
astronomers have prepared pow
erful telescopes to view the lunar
eclipse today.
A group of eminent sclenpstR
from many parts of» England w ill
gather at the Greenwich Observa
tory to witness the phenomenon
which is scheduled to commence
at 3:48 p. m. today, Just as tfeg
moon is rising and the sub "la sim
ultaneously setting.
Three or
four minutes later, the moon w ill
enter the Umbra, or a h a d o w
thrown by the earth. It will first
be observed slightly below the
middle of the left-hand side of
the moon.
Other observatories through
out the British IjHes have prepar
ed for the event. According to
astronomical authorities in Lon
don, te eclipse today will be visi
ble in practically all parts of the
eastern hemisphere and in
the
northern part of North America.
A<member 6f the Royal Observ
atory in an interview with the
United Press this morning re»
garding the eclipse said as fol
lows: '
"Today’s eclipse should be vis
ible at Greenwich a few minutes
after the sun has set. The most
interesting feature of the eclipse
to most people probably wll lbe
the changing in colors which will
be observed. As a rule the moon
is almost invisible to the^nakeS
eye at the beginning of the eclipse
but as it continues, the moon, in
stead ot being totally dark, exhib
its different colors. In some plac
es it is bluish or greenish although
generally speaking it is of a var
iable copper shade.
