THE MYSTERY OF THE MIND'S DESIRE The topic chosen by Dr. John H. Finley, for the final Graham Foundation address on Sunday, March 8, is an alluring one. "The Mystery of the Mind's Desire" is one which has baffled and yet captivated men and women through the ages; and there are, surely, few who can deal with it so satisfyingly as Dr. Finley, whose work as editor, educator and lecturer, has brought him constantly face to face with the problem he presents. About four years ago Dr. Finley resigned his office as Commissioner of Education for the State of New York to become a member of the editorial staff of the New York Times. He had labored with energy and success as Commissioner for seven years, a period of important educational progress in the State, and had brought his department to a point of high efficiency. Before these years of ser¬ vice at Albany, Dr. Finley served as Editor of Harper's Weekly, as Professor of Politics at Prince¬ ton, and as President of the College of the City of New \ ork. He was selected as lecturer for Har¬ vard, on the Hyde Foundation, at the Sorbonne, in Paris, and was the head of the Red Cross in Pales¬ Courtesy of the Metropolitan Museum tine and the Near East.

THE ECLIPSE The picture of the recent eclipse of the sun, given on this page, was made from a photograph taken at Southold, L. I., by Mr. William Henry, a mem¬ ber of the Institute's Department of Astronomy. It is of special interest because of the numerous streamers, many of which were not visible to the naked eye. The type of corona seen at the recent eclipse was one that partakes of the nature of both •mnspot maximum and sunspot minimum, as we were then about half way between maximum and minimum. During sunspot maximum the coronal streamers radiate out from the center; during a JASCHA HEIFETZ minimum they stretch out on both sides to enor¬ OPERA HOUSE ACADEMY OF MUSIC mous distances, as in the one of 1900.

UTILITY SERVICE

What Dollar You Spend

Buys More Value?

For Your Protection

Modern use of electricity requires the utility to be ready to furnish instantly whenever called on service many times the normal demands.

A sudden storm will bring on thou¬ sands of electric lights where ordi¬ narily there would be few in use.

Production equipment and distribu¬ tion facilities must be sufficient to care for such emergency demands.

This excess or reserve capacity may not be used often; but it must be there ready and waiting; and this costs money. This reserve capacity is your assurance of all the service you need whenever you need it.
