School Notes
ACADENrV


Mr.. Phipps, tennis coach of the
Academy, announced yesterday that
all the entries in the spring tennis
tournament. both singles and doubles
were open. All the entries must be in
before Friday evening so that lots
can be drawn and the lists posted
Two silver cups are awarded to the
players, who win the championship in
the doubles. In the singles the win
ner receives a silver cup and the run
ner up also one. Owing to the fact
that the limestone courts need repair
ing, 1t may be necessary that some
OF the players must use the clay
courts, but the limestone courts will
be put in playing condition as soon as
possible.
The trials for the fellows who are
doing spring relay work were held
this afternoon. Those who were Sc
lected will go to the University of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia next
week and compete for prizes in the
relays.
The students of the Academy were
asked to join the patriotic parade
which will be held Saturday. All those
who wanted arm bands gave their
names so that the bands might be
worn in the parade.
All the class pictures of the different
forms will be taken tomorrow. Also
the picture of the entire school will
probably be taken.

WHITE LIES AND BLACK

In the Woman's Home Companion
one woman accuses another of living
dishonorably," saying:
Did you not tell Mrs. Brown that
the presence of callers prevented your
keeping the engagement with her yes
terday afternoon? The seamstress
coming to plan out your weeks work
could hardly be designated as a call
err could she?
And you let your best friend think
your new dress was silk when it is
merely a very clever imitation. Norma
cannot afford to dress as well as YOU
do. and you knew by her silence that
she felt out date and uncomfortable
in her old gown.
when little Mrs. Fayne came in so
happy because the Huntleys had asked
them to go to the races on their yacht
do you remember how subdued she
looked when you answered: Yes, they
asked us last week to go, but we could
not get away
"They did ask you to go for a days
picnic, but not to the races. 1t was
only half truth at best, and yet you
allowed her to go away with e feeling
that they were asked merely to fill in
MY dear. it isn't the way to begin
life, believe me. You do not enjoy
that sort of treatment from your
friends. Do not subject them to it, 1t
is not necessary to wear an ugly gown
because you cannot afford a genuine
what 1t is. But do not let the dear,
near friend believe something about
you which is not true. Only real
friends deserve something truer and
sweeter than that for their friend
shin"

Albert w. Atwood says:
Probably the best method would
be for you to ask one or more life
insurance companies to suggest a suit
abel form Of annuity. One company,
which calls this particular sort of an
nuity an income bond will pay you
$40 month after you have reached
the age of fifty-four for the rest OF
your life, in return for payments on
your part up to the time you are fifty
four years old of $54.6S every three
months. If you should die before you
are fffty-four, the company will re-
turn to any person you name the sum
of the payments you have made, or.
If you should die after receiving one
or more instalments of monthly in
come, and if at that time the sum of
the payments received by the COM
pany exceeds the sum of the payments
of monthly income to you, the excess
will be turned over to your heir. This
is an absolutely safe method of provid-
ing for the future"

To-day, the specific-gravity
test Is practically worthless as a
check on the suitability of a
gasoline, for example, for given
motor equipment. y 1t seems
most probable that the definition
of gasoline will have to be based
on the percentage that distils
over between specified temper
atures, when the distillation Is
carried out under specified con-
ditions.
= 1.-THE gasoline must not vapor-
ize too freely for two reasons:
One, that it would not be safe,
and secondly, its loss in storage
by evaporation would be too
great. Hence, the specification
may have to contain limitations
of the percentage distilling over
below a certain temperature,
coupled perhaps with a proviso
that certain percentages shall
distil over below other fixed
temperatures, in order that req
uisite amounts of Iow-boiling
constituents shall be present to
insure easy starting of an engine.
likewise the specification
must contain a proviso that all
must distil over below a certain
maximum temperature, in order
to exclude from the gasoline the
heavier petroleum distilIates,
such as kerosene."- Official
PreSS-SfdfeRieut issued BY u. S.
Copf. Bureau of Standards.
We've been preaching and
practicing the same thing for
years. The boiling point of At
lantic Gasoline is always uni
form. 1t meets Uncle Sans
ideas perfectly.
