SIX SIDED SNOW CRYSTALS

81 81 SciencS Cannot Explain.


r.. 81 seisnes Cannot Explain.
Snow crystals obey an immutable
law OF six. They are six sided jewels
or six pointed stars. They never an
swer to the law Of four or five. Snow
is crystallized water, and water always
crystallizes In six sided forms. Why?
No one ever will know. There Is no
more apparent reason for the sixncss
Of crystallized water than there Is for
the monoclinic prisms Of sugar crys-
tails. Water and sugar and the COM
pick minerals which make the granite
rock all follow laws which are utter
~ Interchangeable. but which are, as far
as we can see, without any special rea-
son. 1t is as profitable to speculate
why the chlorophyll Of vegetation Is
green and why the blood OF animals is
red. ~..' zG
The whiteness of the snow is under
standable. It is due to the fusion Of
prismic colors scintillating from the
countless surfaces Of minute crystals.
Human science cOmprehends this. 1t
also comprehends the fact that snow
Is a poor conductor Of heat and thus
prevents terrestrial radiation aud keeps
the earth and the things III the earth
snug and warm under the white blan-
ket which is softer and finer than
lambs wool or eiderdown. Science
knows why snow is white and why 1t
is beneficent. but it cannot explain the
law Of six.
1t is we'll that snow cannot be al
together explained. 1t is one of the
earth's most beautiful mysteries. 1t
would lose something in beauty were
1t to lose all its mystery.-Cleveland

Refreshment of Mind and Bust

ent Since Declaration
of War.

There are already ZOOS members
Of Ak-Sar-Ben for this year, and the
campaign for members has scarcely
begun in earnest.
This report was made by the
hustling committee at its meeting.
President Buckingham of Ak-Sar-
Ben declares war talk is having little,
if any, effect in retarding the growth
of the membership. This is the one
year when Ak-Sar- should work
harder than ever before" he said,
land when we should have a large
membership. Conservation is good,
and wise, but while we are conserving,
let US keep up this big organization,
keep up the business of this COM
munity rather than to put the lid on
and Cypress things"
Randall X. Brown said he had no
doubt 1850 members would sign up
by June |. IF there ever was a year
when we need an organization like
Ak-Sar-Ben in its full strength" he
said, st is this year. We need this
refreshment of mind"
Charley Black declares the show
at the den this year promises such
a wide variety and such succession
of thrills and laughs that those who
do not join before the show COM
mences will surely come in as soon
as they hear it talked about on the
streets.
Frank Judson declared all that is
needed is pep" in the hustling COM
mittee, and that a little more of this
product will bring in the biggest
membership in history.
Chairman Charles Saunders of the
committee promised another meeting
OF the committee for next week and
said some big results in membership
gains would be reported at that time.
John Hogan, E. L. Potter, Warren
Blackwell and Harry Mahaffey also
gave short talks.

Can Women
Keep Secrets?
By BEATRICE FAIRFA.,.

Is there any truth in the time-hon-
ored assertion that no woman can
keep a secreto
| say mo" I actually believe that
practical test would bring out the
fact that women really keep secrets
as well as men. But they have earned
their reputation for not keeping Sc
crets in two ways.
First of all, women are much more
sympathetic than men and so they
are given far more condolences. They
have more secrets to keep and not
all OF them are legitimate. And this
brings us to the second point Some
times women are forced to listen to
confidence they never wanted to hear,
and when they have heard the whole
unwholesome story, they discover that
it involves someone to whom they
owe allegiance, and they tell the un-
desired confidence because it seems to
them more important to protect that
friend than to have a reputation for
keeping their word,
Then there is the weaker excuse
based on similar grounds. Often a
woman promises on the spur OF the
moment to keep quiet about a story
and decides afterward that her curl
osity led her INTO listening to some
thing which ought to be told: She
deprecates the .eagerness to know
which led her INTO making a rash
promise-and decides dispassionately
to break her word.

Omaha college women, under the

This action was taken at meeting
of Association OF Collegiate Alumnae

noon at the home of Miss Ruth Nc
Donald to organize a knitting detach-
ment in the National League for Wo-
man Service.
The girls, who were eager to be of

by Mrs. Mcdonald that they do that
which was most vitality needed now,
help on the farms.

at transpired, however, that the

the girl was annoyed that she had

because he did not care to make
known the failings of the woman he
once called wife"
The woman blundered-so much is
quite evident And her intentions
were kindly and generous. The point
is that when you betray confidence
because you think there is need for
it, you tell story of which you know
only part. You have no perspective
on the situation and YOU can hardly
fail to do harm.

erous and if they are not so secretive
