glance about, he dropped it into the
gutter close to the entrance to
Elaines car Then he withdrew a lit

When Elaine came out and ap-
preached her car, Billy, looking as
cold and forlorn as could be, shot for

piece of bread in the gutter, he made
a dive for it, just as Elaine was about
to step into the car.
Elaine, surprised, drew back. Billy
picked up the piece of bread and with
all the actions of having discovered a
treasure began to gnaw at it vora-
ciously.
Shocked at the disgusting sight, she
tried to take the bread away from
him.

SOME HARM IN MOONLIGHT


The alleged harmfulness of moon
light Is at last receiving scientific at
tention. 1t seems that the light of the
moon, being reflected, is polarized;
that IL. the vibrations are in one plane
instead Of all planes. as in light COM
ing directly from its source. 1t is
also said that 1t has less germicidal
power than direct light, and that de-
cay Is therefore quicker.
All this may be true. and it may ex.
plain some of the folklore as to moon
light. We have 80 long believed these
tales to be the myths of primitive peo-
pies that we are not inclined to take
any suggestions in this line seriously.
They are really mistaken attempts at
the scientific explanation of phe-
n0mena noticed for the first time.
The folk-tales seem tc have orig
mated in lands of very clear atmos-
phere, and 1t Is extremely doubtful
whether In northern misty climates
moonlight has any ocular or nervous
effect one way or the other. Still We
are often surprised at the facts elected
from still more bizarre investigations.
Surely polarized light must have in
furious rectinal effects and it might
be well to find out that much.
