Drop the Fraternities,

The new Superintendent of Schools
Of Washington. DR. William M. David
son, has commenced probe into the
fraternal organizations Of the District
of Columbia, and it is to be hoped that
his probe will reach down into the
heart of the affair and get results
There was a good deal Of scandal
talked In connection with high school
fraternities last year, and, in fact, all
Of the social organizations Of the
schools came in for scoring. DR.. Da.
wilson says:
II would say that the stricter gov
eminent of high school societies by
school officials will result in the bet
torment of the organizations. Secret
societies are capable of great good OF
great bad, according to the boys who
are allowed to enter them It viii
probably be recommended that secret
societies be allowed to continue In
high schools under the advisory su
pervision of teachers"

German publication, Die Welt der
Technik, devoted to scientific matters
and inventions, credits the discovery
of the inkless printing process to an
English inventor.
In the course Of some electrical ex-
periments, 1t says, he accidentally
pressed a coin, which had fallen on
the table and was rolling off, against
a metallic plate covered with piece
Of paper, and at the same time against
an insulated electric line. To his
amazement he saw a sepia print OF
the coin impressed upon the paper.
This happened about twelve years
ago. Since then the inventor has fol-
lowed up this observation, and has
now developed a process for printing
without printing ink. He uses dry pa
per impregnated with certain chem
icals, whose nature is not disclosed.
In the process of printing the paper
travels over metal plate and the
type is applied on the opposite side
current Of electricity passing
through the paper. According to the
particular metal used for the sub
stratum, and according to the mode Of
| impregnation Of the paper. a great
variety of different colors can be pro
duced, SO that multi-color printing be
comes an easy matter.

the manager Of the house by rushing
into his private room, brandishing a

old-fashioned alternative Of your
money or your life" Fortunately, the
manager was too quick for him, and
the young brigand was disarmed. Tas
seroul confessed that he had spent his

decided to rob the hotelkeeper In or

TO RIGHT BUILDING MISTAKES
Washington Smart Set Find That
Their Homes Are Not Suited for
Outdoor Entertainment.

The aim Of smart society at Wash.
ington is to make OF the nations cap
ital spring resort for the ultra-fash-
ionable set. It seems that the change
is only retarded by the mistakes Of
those wealthy citizens who. in max
ing homes there In the past decade,
built too much house and allowed too
little ground for garden purposes.
Henceforth the two will be combined
with architectural and landscape pre-
cision.
Washington until three or. four
years ago was not considered a ut
place to live in beyond the second
week after Easter. Strangely enough
several residents confessed their mis-
take, admitting that they had not re-
manned behind after that time, but
had merely accepted the popular ira
dition of society on that score. AS
result, considering Washington essen
TALLY winter resort, homes were con
structed accordingly. and the plans
were built for inside space In winter
and none whatever outside for warm
| weather.
Owing, therefore, to these errors Of
the past, Washington residents are re
tarded in their aims and desires te
transform Washington into a spring
resort, to which the city itself lends
! atmosphere" with its wide streets
and verdure. The bulk Of the smar
set is compelled to turn to the near

tendency to keep at Washington owe

ruined. Moth-proof bags, camphor
balls. cedar chests, storage houses
and other rough-on-moths devices
have done much toward protecting
valuable furs from year to year, but
sooner or later the ever-watchful moth
may get the chance she is waiting
for and then, one gentle shake and
the fur will begin to fly.
According to Cosmos, a French
scientist has discovered how to make
fur coats, muffs and complete fur sets
in such way that no moth Will ever
touch them. He is going to give US
skinless furs, that is, furs from which

| entirely.
1t may surprise great many read
ers of this page to learn that moths
are not fond of fur after all. AS a
matt.;r of fact, it is only the skin 70
which the fur is attached that at
tracts the unlimited pest.
The idea, therefore, has suggested
itself to one mind sufficiently bold tc
make the step, to substitute some otn
err material not adapted as food FOL
yermin in place Of the natural skin.
The following is the method adopt
ed: The fur Is stretched upon
wooden frame and is then dipped, hail
side down, in a fiat dish, the dish De
ing filed with water.and placed witt
the fur in a refrigerating room and al
lowed to freeze. When the fur is froz

off with circular saw. It can b.
further utilized for the manufacture
of leather The surface of the 1c'
block is allowed to melt down a small
distance so as to bring out the end
of the hairs, and then a number o
layers Of rubber solution are applied
After this has set the ice block i
melted off, leaving the hair firml
seated in the rubber. The product s
obtained perfectly resembles natura
fur in appearance, but differs from
in being quite unassailable by vermir

big as the earth itself.
Up until a very short time ago the
spectroscope was the finest instru-
ment Of analysis available for chem
ical and scientific research. If, after
yainIy trying all other tests, the
scientist wished to know Of what
some mixed substance was made he
burned it and converted 1t into gas
and directed a ray Of the gas against
prism of glass. This prism broke
the light up into band OF scolors
streaked with dark lines. By examin-
ing the lines and the colors the scien-
list was able to tell OF what the burnt
substance was composed.
And now an instrument which is
declared to be one million million
times more exact than the spectre
