LINED BY U. S.

GOVT. SCIENTISTS There'll be a lot of stiff in Mandan tomorrow. And they all can be blamed on Dame Nature's long heralded eclipse of the sun. Tradesmen, -keepers, shop girls, loafers and small boys lined the sidewalks of Mandan this morning shortly after 11 o'clock, each armed with a piece of smoked glass, dark goggles, photo for anything else handy, All leanbed far back, all closed on eye, all peered through the darkened ohjects at the same sun that on other day attracts no attention a all. Smudged noses, smudged fingers, blackened chee and cut fingers faced one on every hand.

Some claimed it a natural phenomena, others scoffed. As they were on the edge of blows, a skeptic looked around a corner, discovered a small boy with a large sheet of tin, reflecting the light of the sun on the hotel wall. Conway, N. Aug. 31.

(AP) The sky which had been heavily overcast in this section of the eclipse region, cleared considerably at noon today and scientists grouped throughout the region, were distinctly more hopeful at the prospect of observing the eclipse. Numerous heavy, clouds continued occasionally to drift across the sky. Fooled Animals Minot, N. Aug. 31.

(AP)- "Fish," oldest and biggest monkey in Roosevelt Park Zoo in Minot, apparently believed night had arrived when the sun was eclipsed this. afternoon, for he crossed his legs, folded his arms about himself and closed his eyes and napped. A halt hour later, when the world began to brighten, "Fish" opened his eyes, and in an ugly mood jumped and seized the door of his cage and shook it vigorously. "Adam" and "Eve," South American ringtail monkeys, huddled beside each other as they do at nite, and chattered nervously. The eyelids of "Blackie," the spider monkey from Brazil drooped, but he didn't go to sleep and when the moon got out of the sun's way, he became active again.

Three lion cubs also, thot it was "sand man" time. Before the sun began to dim, they were frolicking around their cage, chasing and biting at each other's tails, and sometimes pursuing their own They snuggled together in a corner and took a nap. Several of the ducks on an outside pond in the park swam to shore and tucked their heads under their wings.

All is dependent, scientists pointed out today, on the relative position of the observer, the moon and the sun.

That is, if the spectator happens to be in such a position that the moon is completely in front of the sun, from where he is looking, the eclipse is total. If, on the other hand, the observer is not in a direct line and the moon does not blot out the sun, as he looks he sees a partial eclipse, the extent depending 011 relative position of the moon and sun to him. SAVE CLOTHES TO AID POOR IS SECY'S PLEA Mandan people were urged today by C. E. Arnold, secretary of the Red Cross in Morton county, to save all worn and castoff clothing which would normally be discarded.

Most of this clothing may be used during the hard winter a p- proaching. The coming winter, in many ways, may be the hardest winter of the depression, Arnold said, and all clothing which is wearable should be scrupulously saved by Mandan people. The Red Cross and Mandan social agencies will probably be forced to issue a call for the clothing before spring. Backing Arnold the plea were Mrs. Alice Bailey, district juvenile commissioner and officers of the Mandan Council of Social Agencies.

who will carry relief work into Mandan and Morton county homes this winter. They do not ask that clothing which is still valuable to the owners be donated this winter when the call is issued, but that city people use a bit of foresight and save this clothing over a period of several months. The organizations last winter dietributed a great deal of donated clothing after sorting and repairing it, but the supply was limited for the reason that no preparatory call was issued last summer and householders had 110 chance to save the clothing they cast off during the warm months. This stringency can be avoided this winter by a little foresight, Arnold said. KNOCKED DOWN BY CAR; ESCAPES SEVERE INJURY Alex Ferderer of Mandan was knocked down and slightly scratched by an automobile driven by Robert Toppins at 5:05 P.

M. Tuesday. He suffered no serious injuries. Ferderer, reports said, started across the street in front of Ripple's market, stepping directly in front of Toppin's car, which was being driven slowly. The bumper knocked him down, but Toppins was able to stop the car before it passed over him.

MOVED TO LOCKBEAM KNOLL'S MODERN BUTCHER SHOP IS INSTALLED FOR THE MEAT DEPT. Consolidation of the Pure Food Market at 220 W. Main and the Lockbeam and Knoll grocery at 104 E. Main was effected today. Both stores will be combined in the Lockbeam and Knoll grocery and a new and modern meat department under the direction of Carl Shea is being installed.

All furnishings of the Pure Food Market will be moved to the store and the complete interior remodeled and refinished. Formal opening will be held Friday. A new cooling room, 10 feet by 12 feet and powered by a 3 horsepower Kelvinator refrigerating machine will supply cooling facilities for the new butcher shop.

Complete re-arrangement of the new store is contemplated and will allow customers a maximum of convenience and make all goods of the store more accessible. Policies and management of the store will be continued along the same lines as previously, Jake Lockbeam, general manager, said. The only reason for consolidation is to give customers of the two stores better purchasing facilities and conveniences, and make possible better service to them. LIONS SEEK TO RAISE CASH TO PAY FOR DAM A new drive to raise funds for the Mandan Riverside park dam was announced today by members of the Lions club, who will stage it. They plan to canvass from store to store, and from business place to business place seeking cash donations for the project.

The drive will start today and continue through the latter part of the week to Saturday, they said. They hope to raise enough ey by this drive to fully complete the project and put in final shape. Lions are paying a dollar a load for rock to be dumped on the dam, and suggest that farmers coming into town, throw a load of rock on their wogan or truck and bring it in when they come. In this way they can cash in on rock on their land and get rid of the nuisance at the same time. A small hill had been thrown into the Heart river to construct the dam, Lions members revealed today, More than 546 tons of rock, 778 ton of dirt and clay have been used to construct the dam.

Nearly as much more rock will be used before the dam is completed. Beside the dirt and rock, 400 bundles of brush have been used, 7000 sacks hold the dirt, and 500 planks used in building the dam. Labor on the dam besides training school boys and trucks and men to haul materials have cost the Lions $350 so far, without taking into consideration funds necessary tor completion. Sponsors of the dam are confident that it will hold providing they can obtain the necessary rock to put on the dam immediately. If the drive fails, they intimatother means raising money ed, will be tried.

BOYS WHO JUMP OUT GIVE FANS BIGGEST THRILL Cleveland, Aug. 31 (AP)-Of all the thrills of the national air races probably none gives the spectators such breath-taking anxiety as the daring leaps of the parachute jumpers. Though many of the world's greatest fliers make their planes do tricks that even birds can't follow, it's the boys who jump out who give the crowds their greatest kick. And of all the jumpers, none have made the air race crowds gasp like H. E.

(Spud) Manning, who plunges two miles in a death-defying leap before he opens his parachute. Manning was in fine form yesterday and leaped from an autogyro at 11,000 feet with a bag of flour clasped in his arms. Gathering velocity each fraction of a second, he shot toward the ground, marking his progress by releasing a trail of the flour. Rolling over and over in the air, Manning dropped to within 800 feet of the ground, before he pulled the cord which opened the umbrella-like fabric above his head. He landed a few moments later, unharmed, while the thousands of spectators arose and cheered.

Another. three-kilometer speed dash was on today's program, with the hope of breaking the world's landplane record of 278 miles an hour, but with little expectation that the ambition will be realized before the final day. of the races, next Monday. The list of today's entrants in the dash depended upon the availability of the several high-speed planes, some of which may not be ready until later in the week. SEN.

31. (AP)--An attempt to relieve water shortage situation in several districts in the Red River Valley and other sections of North Central Minnesota is being made by the state department of conservation, Commissioner W. T. Cox announced today, As a result of eleven years of deficient rainfall stream flow has been interrupted, resulting in the drying up of some streams. This is creating a problem fraught with danger to cities and municipalities dependent on an uninterrupted flow in streams for their water supplies, Mr.

Cox stated. He pointed out that not only are these municipalities laced with a ater famine for drinking and other domestic purposes but accumulation of sewage in dry river beds is creating a hazard. As a result of investigation by E. V. Willard, director of the division of waters and drainage, com-! missioner Cox stated that unless rains come soon, dams holding water in storage in a number of Lakes must be opened to alleviate the siuation.

Director Willard who returned from a survey of the Red River Valley, and Mr. Cox stated an attempt is being made to obtain cooperation of county officials in leasing penned up water for use of municipalities and territories depending 011 streams fed from these sources. It county authorities agree, the dam in Otter Tail Lake may be opened to permit flow of water which would lower the lake only a foot or slightly more, but not affect the supply, according to Mr. Cox. This would enough supply water to the Otter Trail river and the Red river of the north.

The situation in the Red river is especially serious, the river be ing nearly dry in the Fargo, N. D. territory and south of Grand Forks N. Mr. Cox said.

Director Willard pointed out that in the future all solid dams or piers should be provided with openings or sluices through which the outflow may be regulated to furnish owners along the outlet encugh water at any time to meet needs. Many dams now urgent holding back water flow from lake outlets have not been provided with resulting In cessation of the water flow in the channel below.
