Will Enlarge LamsOn Business
 College.

Phoenix. Feb. 2S, 1910, To the Editor Coconino Sun, Flag
 staff. Arizona.
 Sir: < Your readers are probably wondering why the Lamson Busi- ness College is making no special effort to obtain students from Northern Arizona this year. This is the reason: We enlarged our rooms twenty-five per cent last summer, expecting that that amour tof space would accommodate the increase in attendance, but so great has been the demand for scholarships in the Lamson Business College that al of our available space was occupied the first week of January. We were obliged to cease advertising for students for this term. The reputation of our school for thoroughness, and it's ability to find positions for all its graduates is responsible for this un- usual action on the part of Busi- ness College.
 Next July we intend to add sev- enty-five per cent more school room space. We will then be ready to accommodate all who apply for ad- mission at our school. The winter climate of Phoenix is not equaled by any other place in the world, For that reason many prefer to come to Phoenix to spend the win ter.
 Last week one of our old students returned. after making trip all over the Western states. Recalled at the College office and made this remark: Since leaving Phoenix have become acquainted with the work of many Business Colleges. believe. taking everything into consideration, that the Lamson Business College is, by far. the best in the United States. "
 Thanking you for courtesies in the past and trusting that any of the readers of the "Sun" who hap pen to be in Phoenix will call at our office. remain,
 Yours truly.

Molokai and tho Lepers.

The general idea of the leper settle
ment on the island Of Molokai Is
wrong, says writer in Harpers
Weekly. Instead of the entire island
being used for the leper colony the set

miles out of total area Of 261 square
miles. 1t occupies tongue of land on
the northern side Of Molokai. The
north. east and west shores of this
tiny spit are washed by the Pacific,

cliffs Of from 1.S00 to 1000 feet. which

London's Bio Ben.

Why is the large bell In the tower
Of the house of parliament In London
called Big Ben? The average London
er himself seems to have no idea how
1t got its name. When the building
was designed Sir Benjamin Hall had q
great deal to do with carrying out the
plans Of the architects. being high
commissioner Of public works, and his
coworkers appreciated the fact that to
him the city of London was largely IN
debted. So when the question came
up in parliament as to the name of the
enormous bell that was to be hung IN
the tower member shouted. why
not call 1t Big Benz This suggestion
was received with much applause as
well as with roars Of laughter. for Sir
Benjamin was an enormous man. both
In height and girth. and had often been
called Big Ben. From that day on
the bell whose peal every Londoner
knows has been known only as Big
Ben.- -Harper's Weekly.

Cause of Twi,ioht.

Twilight is phenomenon caused by
atmospheric refraction. When the sun
gets below the horizon we are not i'm
mediately plunged into the darkness of
night. Although the sun is below our
horizon. rays of solar light are bent or
refracted by the Terrestrial atmosphere
and continue to furnish some slight
illumination. The process continues
with diminishing intensity until the
sun Is so far, below the horizon that
the refracting power of the atmos-
phere is no longer able to bend the
rays enough to produce visible ef-
feet. The time after sunset that the
sun reaches such position varies with
the latitude of the place. There is less
twilight at the tropic zone than at the
temperate or frigid zone. This is due
to less time taken by the suns rays to
pass through the atmosphere, at the
tropic zone the SUMS rays being per.
pendicular and at the temperate and
frigid zones oblique. e.-New York Amer

With a Grain of Salt.

The earliest record of the saying
with grain of saltv dates back to the
year 63 B. c.. when the great Pompey
entered the palace of Mithridates and
discovered among his private papers
the description Of an antidote against
poisons Of all sorts. which was COM
posed of pounded herbs. These. ac-
cording to the recipe. were to be taken
with grain Of salt. Whether this
was meant seriously or as warning
sarcasm is not known. but thenceforth
it became the custom to say that
doubtful preparations should be taken
with grain Of salt. From this the
meaning got transferred to sayings of
doubtful truth. "Attic salt" was a
Greek synonym for wit or penetration.
and the Latin word ''sal" had some
what of the same meaning. 1t is thus
easy to see how the saying 'cum
grano Sails could have come to mean
the necessity of accepting doubtful or
suspicious statements with grain OF
salt"

NURSE TO CARE FOR NEEDY SUFFERERS

Visiting Nurse Association Plans tO
 Broaden Scope of Its Work.
Not Only Cases of Tuberculosis, But All Illness Will be Given Attention Where Patients Are Unable 10 Secure Bene. fit of Professional Nurses Care.

l TO provide all sufferers unable to afford the care of professional nurse 1 with the benfits of skilled attention, the Visiting Nurse association, origin ally designed to work solely in the in l terests of tuberculosis victims, now plans to broaden it's work by the en- gagement of another nurse whose duty it shall be to visit cases of all sorts of illness and give the patients the bene- fit of care and advice. This will be one of the fruits of the mass meeting to be held in the City Hall next Tues day afternoon, if the success of the meeting is what it now promises to be- In order to be at liberty to carry out these plans, the association has become distinct from the Fairfield County Anti Tuberculosis association with which it formerly worked as an auxiliary.
 The idea of maintaining one or more nurses for the purpose of ministering to victims of all sorts of diseases the year round, is not new with the Visit visiting nurse among the homes strick- en with tuberculosis has brought out more prominently however the mani fold benefits that such a step would bring. The nurse who visits consump- ton victims is brought into contact with other Illness in the same homes, and naturally she inpartS such knoWl- edge as to the proper care of the pa tient as she possesses, to the friends of the afflicted one But the visiting nurse only encounters such cases in connection with her work in fighting tuberculosis.
 It is to visit such cases outside of the tuberculosis stricken homes that the association has in mind the pro- viding of another nurse or two. The new interest lent to the work of the association by preparations for the mass meeting Tuesday has already re- suited in the securing of names of scores of prospective directors and members. This means a very sub stantial increase in the yearly revenue of the association, and the broadening of the scope of the work will be the result.
 Drs. F. w. Stevens and David B. Wa son, who instruct the classes of men and women at the headquarters of the county anti-tuberculosis organization at Police & Charities building; Mrs. Herbert M. Knapp, president of the Visiting Nurse association; Miss Frances Ladd, the visiting nurse; Dr. J. P. c. Foster, an eminent practitioner of New Haven; Mayor Buckinham and others will address the meeting Tues day. Many members of the association will devote their time during and at the close of the meeting to securing the names of those who wish to aid in the movement by becoming either directors, at $5 per year or members with a yearly assessment of $1.
