Aug. 20. (JP) Fog, which caused Capt. J. A.

Molll-son considerable trouble yesterday In the concluding hours of his westward solo flight across the Atlantic ocean, disrupted his program again today. Refreshed by a good night's sleep, the young Scottish airman Intended to fly his tiny Puss Moth ship to St. John from Pennfleld Ridge, forty miles from here, where he landed yesterday, and then to speed on to Montreal to attend the fourth annual Canadian air carnival there. Predicts Regular Ocean Route. But when he got down to Pennfleld Ridge he found the atmosphere much too thick for flying and he came back here by motor to attend a luncheon given by the city of St.

John and attended by Mayor J. M. Britain, Premier C. D. Richards, members of the prov'neial and dominion parliaments, and prominent residents of the city.

On Aug. 31 the moon will interpose its sphere between the sun and earth, creating that awesome spectacle called the solar eclipse, which transforms day into night and which has been the object of scientific interest for four thousand years. A great island of darkness, a hundred miles Ions, sixty miles wide, and of lozenge shape, will rise out of the Arctic sea above Point Barrow, Alaska, sweep southeast across Canada and New England, and leave the Atlantic coast just above Cape Cod to vanish in the marine mists as true nisht falls upon the ocean. Although solar eclipses may occur from two to five times yearly, they come only seldom in densely peopled parts of the globe, and recur at a riven spot only once every 360 years. Travel experts estimate that 3.000,000 natives and tourists will see this year's total eclipse in New England, while partial phases of it will be visible throughout the country, if the skies are clear.

Many Astronomers Gather, la view of the rarity of the phenomenon in civilized lands, New England has attracted astronomers from a dozen universities in the last few Capt. James A. Mollison just as he sat down for a cup of tea and a few buns at St. John, N. after bis solo flight from Ireland.

The two new holders of the women's endurance record, Mrs. Frances Harrell Marsalis of St. and Mrs. Louise McPhetridge Thaden of Baltimore, had been in the air 140 hours at 7 o'clock tonight. In a message which they sent down during a contact by their rursing ship the two women declared they intended remaining up until Monday or probably Wednesday." When they first took off last Sunday at 2 p.

m. the pair said they hoped to stay up a week, but at 2 o'clock this afternoon, when they had started on their seventh day in the air, they decided to delay their landing still further. The two flyers, who surpassed the former women's record of 122 hours at 6 o'clock last night, have repeatedly disclaimed any ambition to shoot at the 27 day record established by Forrest O'Brien and the lata Dale Jackson. Make Seven Contacts. Seven contacts were made between the Curtiss Thrush, which the two women are flying, and the nursing ship.

Only four of the contacts, however, were for furnishing the depleted tanks with more fuel. In the three others the two women received congratulatory messages, newspapers, food, and a jar of vanishing cream. Included among the congratulatory messages was one from Miss Edna May Cooper, who, with Miss Bobbie Trout, established the former record on Jan. 9, 1931, while over Angeles. In reply to the message of congratulations which they received from John Runger and Stewart Reece, the crew of the nursing ship, after they had surpassed the former record, the two women sent the following message: They Doa'c Want Oats.

For the first time since they took to the air last Sunday the two women showed dissatisfaction with masculine judgment in providing them with supplies. We want no more oats; we are not horses," they said in a note left in the food bucket, which is lowered to them twice a day. Also, we want no more bananas." But what tliy did want, the note went on, was more cleansing cream and some fresh clothes. vee.s, me scientists establishing a chain of stations along the middle of i he path of total eclipse a path about fifty miles wide, crossing the prov How the Moon Will Cut Off the Sun on Aug. 31 Vigilantes Are Called to Protect Men.

Streets leading to the Peabody mine were strewn with large headed tacks, and miners going to work in cavs were stranded along the roadways with flat tires. Barricades blocked roads and other places. A hundred determined employes penetrated picket entanglements, however, and went to work.

Pickets Bar Miners. Gale3burg, 111., Aug. 20. Special. Two thousand union miners from this city, Peoria, Farmington, and Canton, who formed a solid picket line at the Shuler mine at Alpha this morning, prevented the 80 men who had voted to start work there today from entering the works.

The plck-eters assembled here at 5 a. m. and drove to Alpha in a caravan containing over 300 automobiles. trilling their staffs daily in the technique of eclipse observation. There must be no slip-up at the crucial moment, for the eclipse lasts just 90 seconds, and another won't be here until 1934.

New England authorities are cooperating with the scientists to assure the success of the experiments.

When they left Taylorville the leaders of the strikers believed that their missionary work had been sufficiently effective and planned to march upon the Orient mines in Franklin county some time soon, probably the first of next week. The turn of events late today may change their plans and many are expected back here tomorrow night or early Monday to resume the picketing. Massmeeting Is Called. Peru, Aug. 20.

(JP) A mass-meeting of union miners in the northern Illinois fields has been called here for tomorrow. in from the ocean, the flyer predicted. He told his audience that on his return flight within a few days he expects to pass over St. John but on that occasion will not stop. After the luncheon Capt.

Mollison announced that he expected to take off tomorrow morning for New York. The takeoff Is set for about 10 a. Chicago daylight saving time, and he reckons that he can cover the 700 miles with ease In about six hours. Advises Wife to Stay in London. The airman sent a cablegram to his aeronautic bride of three weeks, Amy Johnson, who is in London, telling her not to start to New York by vessel because he expected to be flying back over the Atlantic before she would have time to get across.

The little Scotsman today still showed the effects of his more than 30 hours in the air an experience that left him so worn out that it was Impossible for him to continue on to New York and carry out his announced plan of making a round trip flitrht over the ocean within two and a half days. His flight back home will be his last essay at long distance flying, although he has no intention of giving up his aviation career. "I'm a married man now, and I don't think I'll do any more long distance flying." he said. "The field has been pretty well covered. You can't be the first to fly anywhere nowadays."

Coroner C. W. Henderson said the body was decomposed and probably the child had been dead two or three days. After a coroner's Inquest, the boy's father, his step-mother, and Jim Andy Day, who had been living at the Rickey home, were taken to the county jail at Grayson to be held for investigation. Witnesses at the Inquest testified the boy's father and step-mother had often beaten the child severely.

West Frankfort, 111., Aug. 20. Special. Renewed picketing at Peabody mine No. 19 and Old Orient mines here this morning failed to prevent an occasion when the sun and moon did not meet harmoniously In Pang." Astronomers calculate that this eclipse occurred In 1932 B.

Chaldean records contain numerous references to eclipses, one of which Is corroborated in the Jewish Old Testament. te record cites an eclipse occurring dtedng an Insurrection In the city of Aasur in 7C3 B. C. The biblical reference occurs in the book of Amos, chapter 8, verse 9: "And it shall come to pass In that day, saltb the Lord Gt that I will cause the MB to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day." Eclipse Brings Peace. Most famous of the ancient eclipses was the one referred to by the contemporary Greek historian, Herodotus, In his chronicle of a battle between the Medes and the Lydians.

So awestruck were the warriors, Herodotus relates it, that they laid down their arms and concluded peace on the spot. The historian, more cultured than the superstitious warriors, informs us that the eclipse was a natural occurrence which had been predicted a year before by the famous mathematician, Thales of Miletus. Modern mathematicians, more dexterous even than Thales, have been able to reconstruct the heavenly map of that time and have determined to a certainty that the eclipse occurred on May 28, in the year 685 B. C. Thus modern science verifies the ancient writer.

The Union bank, which is affiliated with the Anglo-International bank, and the Creditanstalt, has been a pillar of Jugo slavia finance. It was formed in 1928 by the amalgamation of the Bosnian Bank of Belgrade and the Agrarian and Commercial bank with the Jugo-Slav Discount and Mortgage bank.

"The eclipse you are witnessing was predicted by Chinese astronomers three thousand years ago," he says. "A wonderful, patient, cultured race are the Chinese. That race has a lesson to teach ours a lesson of patience In the acquisition of wisdom." The eclipse Is completed. "And there is another lesson," the astronomer concludes. In accordance with the natural law which the Cnlnese understood forty centuries ago, the moon has kept her tryst with the sun.

It Is nature teaching us the lesson of order and obedience to law, a lesson ell of us must learn to get along in this world." So the lecture and the demonstration end. The star gazers leave the hall, some sauntering on the balcony to study the heavens outdoors before going home. BRITISH COTTON MEN CALL STRIKE FOR NEXT WEEK IChleago Tribune Pratt Service. LONDON, Aug. 20.

Following prolonged dispute over wages, strike notices were sent out today by representatives of the weavers and in a week, when the notices expire, the manufacturing side of the cotton industry will be at a standstill. The spinners, who are faced with wage cuts of 3 per cent, are also threatening determined resistance. Should they Join the weavers by striking, all the mills of the country will close and 400,000 operatives will become idle. Without admitting any possibility of a compromise, the spinners' unions have accepted the invitation of the employers to discuss their claims at a joint meeting at Manchester next Thursday. ing enacted nightly this week at the Adler planetarium.

There Prof. Fox has been offering visitors a vivid preview of the forthcoming eclipse, seasoning the demonstration with some of his own philosophy. An audience of several hundred is seated comfortably under the plane tarium dome. The lights are dimmed and the silhouette of Chicago's sky-line, painted on the walls, stands out sharply. The lights fade altogether.

The literature of pre-Christian eras is filled with references to the phenomenon, notably the Chinese. By mathematical formulas, modern scholars can compute the day and hour of every eclipse that, ever occurred, whence modern historians are able to test the accuracy of the writers who chronicled the eclipses of the distant past. One of the earliest references to am eclipse occurs in the Chinese Shu King, or Book of Historical Documents, compiled 2,000 years befortlftat birth of Christ.
