LIGHT ARRANGEMENT MAY

It has been asserted that a cal

color stage,
Here is an experiment which
illustrates the evolution of your
vision with regard to color. Take
a blue card in your right hand
and a yellow one in your left
and try fo look at them at the
same time with different eyes
You will see a dirty white or a
competition between the two
colors. You will see neither blue
nor yellow definitely. Red and
green cards in place of blue and
yellow produce a yellowish color
or a similar composition,
A well-known professor now
suggests that if a little orange
were introduced into red lights
and a little blue into-the green.
slightly color-blind people would
be able to distinguish between
them.
How Changes in Season
Cause Color Variation
The tendency of some animals to
change color with the seasons. like the
foliage of trees, is explained by Dr.
IR. R. Heustls of the University of
"Oregon In the American Journal of
iMammalogy.
Dector Heustls found that the fu:
«of certain western mice became pro-
ugressively darker with the advance of
‘cold weather, He also ascertained
“that the pigment responsible for fur
*foolor is contained in cells at the
[tips of the hairs, where it is mos:
faffected by the light. Thus It is the
cchange In the nature and quantity of
fight with the advancing season that
fcauses the change.
“A somewhat correlative change om
tor in the mouse,” says Doctor
! Is, “accompanies the changing
hues of vegetation as the season ad-
“wances. It is just another instance of
he Intimate adjustment between the
“individual and the environment. The
‘fading of the fur will accompany the
‘decomposition of chlorophyll In the
tgurrounding vegetation.”
How Fish Swim
A series of interesting experiments
“has just disproved an old theory—
“that fish swim by means of their tails.
Jt seems they can swim just as quickly
if their tall fing are removed. It Is
‘actually the action of muscles on the
‘sides of their bodies that sends them
through the water, and this action
‘starts from the head. But swimming
‘is not the only form of motion of
which fishes are capable. Some of
“them can come out of the water and
walk—or even climb. A number of
‘these walking fish arrived at the I.on-
don zoo recently, They are mud
skippers from Java, When out of wa.
“ter they use their breast fins as legs,
How Wreckers Lured Ships
"Nags head Is on the coast of North
“Carolina near Cape Hatteras. In Colo
Malal ‘times the famous pirate, Saxon
"Keach, known as Blackbeard, lived near
‘There. He ‘would fasten a lantern to
‘a horse's head and. at night, the lan.
‘tera bobbing up and down with the
movement ‘of (he old nag's head, would
look, from the sea, like a ship's light
‘riding the waves. ‘Other ships, think-
‘Ing there was a channel or an anchor-
‘age, would follow and go ashore, The
pirates then would take the disabled
‘vessel,
How Copra 1s Made
"Copra is the dried meat of the co-
~eonut, which is detached from the
shell after it Is broken and dried. One
thousand nuts yield from 440 to 530
pounds ‘of copra, containing approxi
nately 10°'per cent of water, The copra
‘Is dried either by exposure to the air
or sun, or by some artificial drying
‘@rocess, such as kiln drying or subjec-
‘tion to a current of hot alr In a heated
‘Tunnel.
How to Transfer Pictures
"To transfer pictures, a wax may be
‘made from three parts beeswax, three
parts tallow, one part each Canadian
balsam and olive oil. Another method
As to dissolve one and one-half drams
“yellow soap in a pint of hot water,
‘adding three fluld ounces turpentine:
@his mixture is applied to the picture
“ar printed matter, the blank sheet is
“dampened and subjected to pressure
rantil ‘design is transferred.
How We Get “Blimp”
‘The word “blimp” Is said to have
“originateli ‘from *“B,” for “balloon,”
and “limp,” "to designate “limp bal-
Woon.” A Zeppelin type dirigible has a
‘rigid framework ‘covered with fabric
‘in which the gas '!s held in balloon-
‘ettes. A blimp has only a rigid lower
section and the pressure of the gas
‘keeps the upper part filled out.
How to Solder Aluminum
Henley's Book ‘of Formulas recom
“wmends first tinning the parts to be sol-
“dered, with a composition of five parts
“tin to one part aluminum, and then re-
placing the ordinary soldering iron by
one of pure aluminum and soldering
with a composition of copper, zine and
“alummum.
How Phrase Originated
“What ‘is the origin of the saying
“left In the lurch’'?” asks a correspon-
“dent. It arose when one player was
“deft ‘behind the other In the once pop-
“lar game of cribbage. “Lurch” is a
sxorruption of Lourche, a French game,

problems connected with their jobs.
“Today it is the exceptional em-
ployer who has not learned that
‘safety pays',” “That word ‘safety’
covers a big field. It means not only
installing guards on machinery to
prevent accidents but it means safe-
guardng the health of workers by
elminating long hours. It means pro-
viding a clean place with proper
sanitary arrangements in which to
work, full time for lunch and decent
conditions under which to eat lunch.
As you go on your rounds, you
will find that progressive employers
are a step ahead of the ten hour
day and fifty hour work week for
women allowed by law in Pennsylva-
nia. These business men have found
out that their employees turn out
fully as much work in the shorter
hours. They have found their safety
record improved also. Workers who
are not fatigued from long hours of
work on the previous day are alert
and less likely to meet with acci-
dents. :
During recent months numerous
reports are to the effect many wo-
men are often fearful of losing their
jobs for reporting that they are
working longer hours than the law
allows, Children don't know enough
to do so. On this point the co-oper-
ation of the community is necessary.
Letters containing information of the
nature are welcomed by the Labor
‘Department and the signatures of
such letters held in strictest confi-
dence.
The employer who is keeping
abreast of the times, recognizes that
it is poor economy not to spend a
little money on keeping his estab-
lishment looking well. There is a
tendency on the part of some em-
ployers to let their plants ‘run down’
