BY SAM SMALL Staff Correspondent of tha International Newt Servic. WASHINGTON. June 4.Offle!al figures made public to-day by Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the United States Shipping Board, show that May was the greatest shipbuilding month la the history of th country and that the United States probably produced more tonnage in that month than any other nation In the world "We are just moving along now," said Chairman Hurley, "making about ten miles an hour. But when we get to going good and the throttle Is pulled wide open, we'll try with sixty miles an hour on the upgrade and show some real speed on level road." In tho month of May thero wete completed and delivered to the Shipping Board a total of forty-four ships, forty-three of steel and one of wood, with a total of 263,671 tons.

Tha greatest production in any previous month was In March, 1918, when twenty-one steel ships, totaling tons, were delivered to the Shipping Board.

The stranger made Close give up $68, but when the automobile man said his wife and children needed the money, he gave back $30. The bandit then jumped, in the'ear, ordered Close to the roadside and commanded him to keep looking in the other direction. He started away but went but a short distance when he crashed into the side of the hill and wrecked the car. He pulled himself-out of the wreck and started away on foot. Close walked some miles to the Stevenson ranch where he telephoned the sheriff, who came and brought him back to this city.

In the partial phase, the eclipse will be visible In clear skies all over North America. Up In Maine the obscuration will be only 68 per cent as compared to the greater diameter In California. Los Angeles will get about the same view as San Francisco.

From the scientific side, the study of the wonderful corona of the sun In tha total phase is the outstanding feature of Investigation. This corona, formed by the shooting forth in tremendous volume hundreds of thousands of miles, great masses of gaseous flames, give the students the field for thcr keenest observations. Astronomical photography, the recording of Um corona on the plate, marks a most tmportant part of the study. The phenomenon is one which, back to prehistoric legend, has been the subject of fear and dread in the barbaric world, among the simple minded heathen, who looked upon it of the hoard. less chance of atmospheric interruptions than at South Bend, which is nearer the coast and more subject to cloudy conditions.

The Lick Observatory party comprises, besides Dr. Campbell, Professors H. D. Curtis and J. H.

and Mrs. William II. Crocker and Fred W. Bradley. Crocker finances the expedition, having continued the work of his brother, Colonel Charles F.

Crocker, who provided first and until his death for the various astronomical expeditions of Lick Observatory in all parts of the world.
