She never walked briskly, but when she came back she moved with more animation than was her wont, “It's the Whitneys,” she an- nounced. “They want us to go out to Freeland Farms and dance.” Hugh gave a regretful rok at the yard, bowered in bush and vine, at the moon, climbing now, a shimmering globe above the trees. “Sort of nice here,” he commented. She stood there, waiting for him to say more. The expression of her face was veiled, but he felt a vitality flow from her, a cur- rent of something indefinable. “Do you want to go?" “That's for you to decide,” she answered almost coldly. He took her attitude f.r re- proach. He stretched his arms lazily. ‘““Tell them, we'll go. Com- “Yes. Can you be realy in ten minutes?” He nodded. “But we won't stay late, remember!

He was thoughtful and kind to his friends, and when Hugh had been laid up with influenza the winter before, had sat up with him all one night. Joan was small, with an olive complexion, straight black hair which she dressed severely, and great smoky gray eyes with thick- black lashes. “Hurry up,” she called as Hugh and Dorrie came down the walk, ‘we're simply bursting to tell you the news!” “What news?” asked Hugh. “Did the old man come through?’ “Right the first time!” “Congratulations!” cried Hugh, climbing into the car. ‘‘Wonder- ful,” said Dorrie. ‘“‘He has a job with the Crescent people and starts work the first of the month!” “You see how glad she is to be house!" “You weren't at home much!

He touched Dorrie’'s arm. “See Ellen with young Purdue?” She smiled and nodded. “He looks the sort she'd fall for, lean and dark—with a way!” She ex- plained to the others, “Hugh's fa- vorite cousin with her young man.” “A cousin?” said Cun. “Alibi?” Joan fanned herself with the menu. “Don’t you know Hugh's related to all the Pendletons?

Viewed in the light of scientific discoveries about the eyes and the intensities of light they need for comfortable, safe seeing, the lighting under which the stu dents worked at night was far from ideal Small desk lamps which gave a bright spot of light on the desk leaving the rest of the room in comparative darkness, were the general rule contrasts of glare and fatiguing to the eyes, existed in most cases. In some rooms, in an attempt to have enough light, as any as three lamps were used at one study table Surveys were nade of the ex. isting lighting and recommenda. tions were submitted to College for an method of improving the seeing conditions in the dormitory rooms As a result, 160 1. £ 8 Better type were placed in the stu. dents’ rooms, The effect can be seen by a glance at the views shown installation of here the new “Government of, By and for the People” Traced According to Rev. H. Barker's “English Bible Versions,’ the first appearance of this phrase ‘‘govern- ment of the people, by the people and for the people,” found in Wickliffe Bible, translated before 1384, in is for the government of the peo- ple.” The Home Book of Quotations states that a careful examination Theodore Parker used the phrase in 1850, 1854 and 1858, to il- lustrate what he called the Ameri- a speech in 1830. John Adams in an 1798 employed “a government made phrase by them- 1795 and conducted by Thomas Cooper in » America'’ in which he stated “The government is a government of the people and for the people.” African Languages The tribal records of Africa go on only by word of mouth and are handed down through the years in this way. According to an author- ity, with one or two local ex- ceptions, no tribe has achieved any written record. There are several native languages spoken throughout Africa and every one of these tongues has a definite grammatical structure, often more precise than the grammar of English. There are about 600 different tongues in Africa.

It was, however, believed to be power- ful as a general mascot all over the world. In ancient Rome it was con- sidered the most fortunate of all stones if mounted in a ring, and another Roman belief was that it would cure affections of the eyes. the considered that this stone conferred eloquence and brought to its owners good fortune by inheritance or through a document. In one reference book it is that of agate—cornelian, loved. stated kinds ame- opal are classed in this section. There are star agates, moss agates and clouded agates. The white agates are often artificially stained-—an art of ancient origin. In a brilliant green they are salable. Some fine agates tish pebbles. In the shops in the Highlands they are sold as sou- venirs. The Adriatic Sea Americans are prone to think of the Adriatic as an Italian sea, but as a matter of fact it equally wash- es the shores of Jugo-Slavia. [It stretches north from the Mediter- ranean for some 480 miles and the average distance between shores is about 100 miles. In the southern part it reaches a depth of 4,000 feet, shoaling off to 500 feet in the north- ern section. For centuries the Jugo-Slavian side has been known as “Nase More,” while on the ital ian side it is “Mare Nostrum."” The Provincial On October 11, 1774, the govern- ment of Massachusetts forever passed out of British rule, for on that day the provincial was organized in Concord. The new authority devested the royal gov. ernor, one by one, of all his powers and functions, and became master of all the arsenals. Every farmer's barn, as well as the courthouse, the tavern shed and the miller's loft, was requisitioned for the hiding of provisions and war supplies. room to give adequate gen- illumination, Not only is the light for see improved in the immensely Made by English Chemist Prior to 1856, all dyes were of animal or vegetable origin, ob- tained from the juices of berries, from roots, plants, the sap of trees, or, in case of cochineal, simply by Then a young English chemist, William H. Perkin, ac- cidentally discovered the first coal- tar dyestuff. He was trying to find a laboratory method for making Quinine. In one experiment he sought to determine what would oc- cur by the oxidation of aniline. The result was a black tarry substance which dissolved in alcohol to a beautiful reddish violet solution — mauve. This was the beginning of the coal-tar dyestuffs industry. Coal - tar, writes Dr. John H. Sachs, in the Scientific American, is a common by-product of the manufacture of coke. It is a heavy, black, viscous liquid with about the consistency of molasses. Its ime portance to the chemist came with the discovery that many of the products of nature when broken down are nothing but derivatives of three or four of its most common constituents: benzene, toluene, The early nineties saw the first from the coal-tar derivative, ben- zene. There followed a procession of other valuable dyes of every con- ceivable shade and brilliance, all obtained from a few substances found in the black, sticky by-prod- uct. It was learned that by come bining these substances with one another, or with their derivatives, or with other common chemicals, it was possible to produce literally thousands of colors. The Fighting Feo'c'sle In sea stories you often read about the fo'c’'sle—the forward part of the vessel under the deck where the sailors have their quarters. The name is short for forecastle, says Pearson's London Weekly, and it comes the days when ships were buil@ mainly for fighting. Then the forecabtle was actually a castle in the fore part of the ship — a strongly built structure which com- manded a view of the enemy ships. This forecastle also provided shel- ter for the men who did the fight- ing—soldiers in those days, for the sailors only worked the ship and had nothing to do with the scrap ping.
