recluse of undetermined age, yester
day morning received a severe shock
when, upon emerging from his win
ter quarters Into the open air he was
confronted by the ghastly and un
heard of spectre of his own shadow.
a sight so repel lan t to th Hog that
he fell In a swoon and was revived
only after prolonged effort on the
part of his physician.
Hog Is resting easily today, his
friends will be glad to know, and his
condition Is not regarded as serious
although he keeps mumbling "Six
weeks more rain, six weeks more
rain," In a monotone, his doctor
stated. Special treatment In a dark
ened room, and the wesrlng of
smoked glasses Is expected to have
him back on his feet by the middle
of March.
In answer to Hog's charges of six
weeks more rain, the Jackson County
chamber of commerce. A. H. Banwell.
manager, today charged that the ter
ror of seeing his own shadow was as
sumed by Hog. and waa not based
upon any real danger to be feared
from the wilier. Banwell branded
Hog a "radical."

traitor to organized labor."

sponsible for Mr. Roosevelt's renewal

sulting any federation official.

loins of organized labor as he did.
recommended to the president of the
United States the imposition of a
code on labor In the automobile in
dustry for continuance of 48 hours
a week." shouted Lewis before a sen
ate Judiciary sub-committee.
Lewis assailed the "Du Pont fam
ily" and General Motors as not en
titled to the 48-hour week. He said
It was "uneconomical and inde
fensible." "For Mr. Richberg. who knows of
these things of which I speak." Lewis

ECLIPSE OF
E
THIS MORN. 7:30
WASHINGTON, Feb. a. (AP)
Approximately the best time to ce
tomorrow's eclipse of the sun. the
time when the moon will most nearly
cover the sun. will be 7:30 a. m. to
day. It will be visible In most places
for about an hour before and after
this time, however.
The best thing to look through Is
a piece of developed photographic
film.
Viewed from the earth, the eclipse
will be only partial, with the moon
coming only part of the way between
the sun and earth. As seen from Hel
ena. Montana, the sun will be 67 per
cent covered by the moon, the near
est to totality In the United States.
The closest approach to totality as
seen from anywhere on earth will be
about 74 per cent near the Great
Slave lake In northern Canada.
Astronomers are not especially ex
cited about this eclipse, because there
is little they can learn from It. The
naval observatory, however, will use
It. as It does all others, to see If the
solar system Is "running on sched
ule." Tomorrow's eclipse will be the third
of seven scheduled for this year five
of the 'sun and two of th moon.
None of the eclipses of the sun will
be total as seen from earth. A total
eclipse of the moon on July 16,
will be visible In this country.
