Sioht Affected by Paper.

A committee of the British assOcia-
ton has been conducting an investiga-
ton Of the influence of school books
on the sight, especially that of chill
dren. The gIossiness of the paper was
found to be an important matter. This
glossiness depends mainly on specular
reflection, i. e., reflection similar to
that from polished metals. Such re-
Election is apt to interfere with binoc-
ular vision. Scattered or diffuse refec-
ton, as from a fine white powder, Is
not harmful. Specular reflection can
not be entirely avoided in paper, but
it is not injurious to vision unless ex-
cessive. When the specular reflection
exceeds 56 per cent, the resultant
glare is likely to be harmful. Writing
paper for school use should not give
more than "a per cent specular refiec-
ton at an angle of 10 degrees, since
young writer's often look obliquely at
the paper Colored maps can be pro-
duced without extra expense or diff
Guilty on paper conforming to the COM
mittee's recommendations. In some
cases the effect of using suitable paper
is spoiled by the use of glaze in the
colorS of inks.

PICTURES FROM THE FRONT
Shown In Connection With Lecture
by Red Cross Surgeon

Actual Photographic views of bat
ties on the Belgian front, which the
military censors never got a chance
to forbid, will be shown at the Orph-
cum theater on Wednesday, February
%, by DIR. Earl V. Morrow, head of the
American Red Cross in Belgium for
the past year and half. These pic
lures many of which reveal the de-
tails of military positions, escaped the
keen eye of the censors because they
were taken by personal permission
of King Albert of Belgium. To fur
Their show the regard in which he held
DR.. Morrow, King Albert conferred
upon the doctor the cross of the Bel
gian Legion of Honor-an honor never
before given to an American citizen.
DR.. Morrow is now spending his
time in telling the people the unvarn-
ished truth about the European con-
flict believing that by so doing he is
advancing the disappearing move
ment for a universal and lasting
peace. The lecture is thrilling and
educational u

WALLACE CROW
DEAD In TEXAS

George Crow received the sad news
last night of the death somewhere in
Texas" of his son, Wallace Crow, a
former Moscow boy, who was a MEM
Der Of the. 143d Coast Artillery corps
The message, which was from rel
atives at Nezperce, did not give de-
tails or even the names of the place
where death occurred, but information
was received that the funeral will be
held at Rupert, Idaho, tomorrow. The
reason for holding the funeral at that
place was not clear to Mr.. Crow, who
wired the Rupert city marshal to hold
the body until his arrival.
Until eight years age, Wallace was
resident of Moscow. He was q
years of age. He was a corporal. Word
was last received from him at San
Francisco about Christmas time, when
he stated that he would be unable to
visit his relatives on account of
pressing duty in the recruiting de-
partment Since that time letters adj
dressed to him have been returned.

Garnishes for Foods.

Flowers, fruits and the sweet gela-
tin garnishes should be used only on
desserts. Jelies make attractive gar
nishes, for they sparkle and culver
and, best of all, add to the taste of
what they decorate. Little molds for
stamping out decorations may be
bought, but they are not needed if you
have a sharp-pointed knife and
steady hand.
