Autumn Offers Many Joys
For the Faithful Beholder
By BAUKHAGE
News Analyst and Commentator.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—You are reading these lines, I trust,
not too long after the autumnal equinox, which I hope you cele¬
brated with the proper ceremonies.
The word equinox is Latin for “equal night” which implies equal day.
All over the earth there is that kind of equality at this time.
Thus the Creator established
equality of such nice perfection that
neither the strongest telescope nor
the most accurate micrometer can
Baukhage
Is an unachieved goal but one more
nearly reached here than anywhere
else in the world—fellow travelers
to the contrary, notwithstanding.
Strangely enough, the one idea
chiefly associated with equality of
day and night—the equinox—has
been proved utterly unfounded. For
a long time it was generally ac¬
cepted (and is still believed by
many) that violent storms which
were given the name, “equinoxial
gales” are prevalent at this season.
Suppose you were to approach
the 10 men—or twenty or thirty
—who have spent the most time
studying this particular subject,
gathering all the facts, check¬
ing all the records available, as
long as authentic records have
existed. If you asked them if it
is true that there are especially
bad storms at this time of year,
they could answer (in carefully
worded and virtually under¬
standable sentences) “That is
the bunk!”
At the equinox the sun is in the
process of crossing the celestial
equator. That is the circle parallel
to our equator which if expanded
would touch the suti. The sun does
this in the spring (vernal equinox)
and in the fall (autumnal equinox).
At this season, if you live in my
neighborhood (or within several
hundred miles thereof) you will
heed this piece of advice in the
Hagerstown (Md.) Almanack which
says:
The ravages of the tent cat¬
erpillars go unnoticed by many
persons until the leaves are
eaten from a tree. Naturally it
makes extra work for the tree
to produce another set of new
leaves, which weakens the tree,
and after a few years of this
extra work, the tree is in dan¬
ger of dying.
“The greatest natural enemy
of the tent caterpillar is the
common house wren. These are
valuable birds to have in your
gardens during the growing sea¬
son.”
And now after that piece of ad¬
vice, which is hot seasonal for my
friends "down under” where the
autumnal equinox heralds the com¬
ing of summer and not fall and win¬
ter, let us return to our meteoro¬
logical mutton.
I will not become technical but I
think it is just as well to get better
acquainted with the phenomena,
natural or otherwise, which sur¬
round us. There is ho reason why,
if one rises late in the night to let
the cat in (or out) he need crack a
shin on a chair, once he understands
why and in what position his wife
has moved it since he last noticed
its location—and the stars are just
celestial furniture.
What Is This Thing
‘Retrograde Motion’?
There is a certain “retrograde
motion” from east to west of the
equinoxial points, which I won’t go
into in detail for several reasons,
one being that I haven’t the slight¬
est idea what the phrase means.
Nevertheless, I will mention that
retrograde motion was discovered
by a gentleman by the name of
Hipparchus in the year (about) 120
before Christ. Experts say this mo¬
tion accounts for the changes in the
position of the Pole star, the North
Star as it is usually called.
Some people think the Pole star
doesn’t change. A number of im¬
portant people since Hipparchus
have thought so. Take one, William
Shakespeare. Remember in Act III
of Julius Caeser when a petition
for repeal of the disenfranchisement
of Publius Cimber is presented?
Cassius drops to his knees to beg
for the repeal but Caesar says:
“I could be well moved, if I
were as you;
If I could pray to move, pray¬
ers would move me:
But I am constant as the north¬
ern star,
Of whose true-fix’d and resting
quality
There is no fellow in the firma¬
ment,
thing that had no
measure of weight
until the philoso¬
phers proclaimed
it and until It was
preached to the
western world by a
lowly carpenter’s
son of Nazareth.
We worked near¬
ly 2,000 years be¬
fore a political
goal embodying
this philosophy
was written into
the Constitution
of a nation — the

CLEVELAND COURIER
The skies are painted with un¬
number’d sparks,
They are all fire and every one
doth shine,
But there’s but one in all doth
hold his place . .
Perhaps Shakespeare had never
read Hipparchus. (Some say he
couldn’t read but if so, where did
he get his plots?) Anyhow, Hippar¬
chus said, (and nobody has dis¬
proved his theory) that the position
of the Pole star does change (from
our viewpoint). One authority ex¬
plains it this way:
“The pole of the earth Is swing¬
ing slowly as if it were the axis of
a top, or as if the earth, rotating,
were a kind of gyroscope.” The
study of what is called the “pre¬
cession of the equinoxes” (their
moving backward in relation to the
constellations) is fascinating. But I
have no intention of reading a lec¬
ture on astronomy here—for sev¬
eral reasons, including the one
mentioned before.
But I do want to mention some
things which George Stimson (with
whom I have just been talking)
brought up. You remember
George? He comes from Ahamosa,
Iowa, where he has just been spend¬
ing a wonderful vacation with his
mother who, at 77, does her own
cooking because she likes it bet¬
ter (and, according to George, for
good reasons) than anyone’s else.
George, to whom most Wash¬
ingtonians turn when they want
the right answer, says that rec¬
ords for a period of 50 years
show that there were actually
fewer storms during the period
between September. 20 and 25
(which overlaps the equinox)
than there were immediately
preceding September 25. The
same, he says, is true of the
vernal equinox.
“The notion about equinoxial
storms in one form or another,”
says George, “dates back to at
least 1748 and probably originated
among seafaring people.”
All this information is in his
“Book About a Thousand Things”
and if I had thought to look it up
first I wouldn’t have interrupted
him in his work on his book about
a thousand (or more) things regard¬
ing American history which will be
his next opus and which I’m willing
to say in advance of publication is
going to be good. tbe
So much for equinoxes, with
whom, since we meet them twice a
year, we ought to get better ac
quainted.
Blackjack Pershing’s
Life and Times
Speaking of books, Col. Frederick
Palmer sent me his latest book en¬
titled “General John J. Pershing.”
It was written some time ago, re¬
cently brought up to date after Pal¬
mer’s last interview with Pershing,
but in accordance with the author’s
stipulation, was not published until
after Pershing’s death.
“It was not to be submitted
to him or to appear in the light
of an official biography or one
authorized by his heirs.”
This is stated in the foreword and
Palmer elaborated on his attitude
to me during a luncheon shortly
before the book appeared.
Colonel Palmer is the elder
statesman of the war correspond¬
ents. But years are of small ac¬
count to him. He is pert, active and
his memory is phenomenal. I knew
of him in connection with the Russo
Japanese war although at the time
of that conflict my military experi¬
ence was limited to playing with a
painted fleet of warships.
The warships were a Christ¬
mas present received while I
was still building with blocks
and shooting Indians with bows
made of umbrella ribs and drill¬
ing in an infant cadet corps.
Later I came to know a colleague
of Palmer’s in that war which gave
Japan the toe-hold in the Far East
that made her the power she was in
World War II. His colleague was
Photographer Jimmy Hare, the
dean of his clan for many decades.
The Pershing book I have not
read at this writing but as soon as
I do I’ll tell you about it.

Although the special session of
congress was mad at the President
for calling them back, they gave
the reading of his proclamation
assembling them a tribute rare in
history. They stood up while it
was read. They got up because
they thought the invocation was
about to be made and they didn’t
like to sit down and reveal their
error.

Zunis Swallow Swords
Sword swallowing, well-known
Hindu practice, is a ritual also per¬
formed by the Zuni and other
southwestern Indians. To them,
swallowing a feather sword is a
sacred religious expression.
Since time immemorial the
sword-swallower’s dance has been
regarded by these Indians as just
as essential in raising successful
crops as soil preparation and irri¬
gation are to our way of farming.
