Tho action is taken both to improve

tho aeroplane offers a practical means of

VENUS TO KEEP SKY "DATE"
WITH JUPITER TOMORROW
Chance for Philadelphians to Gaze at
Brilliant Night Spectacle
Venus today Is "primping" for her
"date" with Jupiter, when she will pay
her respects, as she often did of Mie.
while admiring Philadelphians gazo on
the pretty spectacle. Tho meeting Is
scheduled for tomorrow night, nt 10
o'clock, at a certain spot In tho noith
western portion of tho heavens.
It is, In astronomical language, n con
junction between the two planets. Venus,
moving comparatively swiftly eastward
across the sky, will overtake the slow
moving Jupiter at 10 p. m. For a theo
retical Instant they will be In conjunction,
and to many eyes will present the appear
ance of one large and brilliant star. Dis
cerning eves however, will see that a
distance about two-thirds that of tho full
moon's disc vvlll separate them. And all
the glamour fades when one learns that
some 430,000,000 miles actually separates
the planets, Jupiter being that distance
beyond venus, un ikuuis " -son's
"Crossing the Bar."
As seen from the earth, Venus moves
much more swiftly than Jupiter, accord
ing to Prof. Erie Doollttle, of tho Uni
versity of Pennsjlvanla School of Astron
omy, because she completes her orbit
around tho sun In 225 days, whereas
Jupiter, swinging along In the "suburbs
of the solar system, requires 12 years.

O CAPTAIN! MY CAPTAIN!
O Captain l my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
Ihc ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, ihc bells 1 hear, the people all exulting,
While follow cjjes, the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead,
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up for you the flag is flung for you the bugle trills,
For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths for you thcshorcs
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning,
Here Captain! dear father!
This arm beneath your head!
It is some dream that on the deck
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain docs not answer, his lips arc pale and still,
My father does not feci my arm, he has no pulse tior will,
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,
From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
Exult O shores and ring O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,

Ex-Congressmen Logue and
Donohoe Plan Fight for

AN $11,000,000 OUTLAY
A call for citizens of Philadelphia to
net Immediately In tho matter of placing
beforo tho proper nlithorltlcn nt Wash
ington tho superior advantages of tho
Philadelphia Navy Vnrd ns tho location
for tho proposed $11,000,000 Government
aromr-mnklng plnnt was Issued today by
ex-Congressmen J Washington Logus
nnd Michael Donohoe.
Thcso two former Dcmocratlo repre
sentatives, who during their terms la
bored untiringly for tho Navy Yard nnd
the port of Philadelphia, declared that
Philadelphia, had no tlmo to loso If It
desired to get tho proposed big fcdoral
minor-making Industry for this city.
Mr. I.ogiio today outlined n plnn which
he said he believed would be successful
In bringing the Oov eminent cnterprlso
to Philadelphia. Ho suggests that n com
mittee of rpeits go to Washington and
iiiiprc.'iS upon the Congressional Commit
tee which will decide upon location tho
advantages of Philadelphia as nn armor
plant site.
"A nicro oxpiesslon of views," said
Mr. I.ngtie. "amounts to nothing, hut tho
department that has the untertnltlng In
hnml should have piesentcd beforo It the
ilaims that 1'hlladclphlu nsserts ns to
Its possessing the necessary ndvnntngea
that would accrue by locating tho plant In
this city.
"I do not think thnt there Is so much
gained by fending largo bodies of citizens
to Washington My experience has taught
1110 that demonstiatlons nro not very ef
fective In the capital city
"Let us Instead pick out a few cltl
ens who can tnlk as experts on tho qual
ities of tliis city ns n fito for the plant.
For instance, let us 1 :id a tiansportntlon
epert who can tell about our transporta
tion facilities, both lail nnd water. Wo
could send manufacturers and other cm
plovers of Inboi who would be ablo to
show that Philadelphia has moro first ..
class mechanics and skilled workmen than
any other clt In the i-iiltcd States. All
these points .no going to count tromon
douslv In tho Ncleitlnn of a site for the
plant.
"In matters of this kind I have learned
that it is ntcessaiy to liavo concerted
action, nnd If wo hopo to get thnt armor
plant wo must go after It with nil of tho
enthusiasm of our citizenship"
