Monmouth. Ore. Nav oa
tuesday evening IN the high school an.
ditorium the Parent Teachers ossocis.
ton held one Of the most iptercs,;no
meetings of the year. A fine nrogra I,
was rendered during which PresiJent
~. II. AekerInan, of the State Nor,,al
school, gave a very interesting and con.
vineing address. He gave to the as.
semblage his own individual idao of a..
future Of the Oregon Normal school
land of Monmouth and his faith In Nth
was shown. 1t was some 20 years ago.
he said, since he first visited Monmouth
and he then thought and still thinks
that he never saw prettier mace.
When he came here he built his home
with the idea OF permanent residence
and had east his entire interest in 500
ing the State Normal school and Mon
mouth grow. During the time elapsing
since his first visit to this city. mostly
in official capacity while he was state
superintendent aud a regent he was IA
lniliar with its doings President Ack.
erman explained the situation in which
the normal school now stands. saving
that in view Of the fact that if the
present faculty Of the school was not
increased i'll proportion it was probable
that at the meeting Of the board of
regents it would be decided to limit the
enrolment of students in the school TO
900. Some of the members thought $50
a large number, however. President
Alderman thought that 500 would be
finally fixed as the limit. If this proves
the case it will mean that when 500 stu
dents are enrolled NOT one more would
be taken until some one stepped out.
This limit, he said would probably be
reached next fall. He believes that this
would call the attention of the people
to the fact that the faculty is too small
and that more state money should be
used for increasing same. He said that
if his. expectations came true, some day
in the future there will be 1000 stu
dents in the Oregon State Normal
school, as there are at present attending
the normal, in Cheney, Wash. Mr.. Ack-
erman explained TO the assembly the
plans for enlarging the chapel which is
to have a seating capacity of $50 and
that in case of emergency if chairs were
put in the aisles, the room would hold
l,l00 people. There Is also a cottage to
be constructed in addition to the girls ,
dormitory, to be called the seniors cot
tage This will be capable of holding
at least 25 students. The money made
as profit by the dormitory by buying
their food supplies wholesale and deal
ing in large quantities is the money
which is to be used in the construction
of the cottage. The president said that
with the present price Of food the domi-
tory is just about breaking even in ex-
penses and income and it may be neces-
sary in the future to raise the rates of
board and room. In conclusion he again
stated his faith in Monmouth and in the
normal. In years to come he expect
ed to see the school greatly increased in
scope and prestige and that Monmouth
would likewise grow by taking advant-
age of its full and natural opportuni-
ties. f 70

EYE STRUCTURE.
why We See Better In a Moderate
Light.

Why We See Better In Moderate
Light.
An observant chauffeur passing an
automobile with glaring headlights
noted that objects at the side of the
road which had been distinctly visible
dropped out of sight when the bright
lights were thrown upon them. Since
one can see better In a little light than
in no light he wondered why one can
not see better in bright light than in
moderate light.
The answer is, paradOyically, that the
less light there is the better one sees,
for the brighter the object the less eff
cient is the eyesight. III after we have
been In darkness we suddenly turn on
bright light and look at our eyes in
the mirror we can see the pupil OF the
eye rapidly growing smaller. If we
reduce the light the pupil dilates again.
What happens is the same as in the
camera when we adjust the shutter to
the intensity of the light.
The colored iris of the eye CORE
spends to the shutter. 1t consists
chiefly Of muscle which as the light
increases is stimulated to contract,
thus drawing the curtain and shutting
out some of the supertluOus light 1t
usually takes few seconds for this
adjustment to take place. Thus when
we emerge from darkness into light we
are blinded until the iris can shut out
some Of the light from the eyes.

How to Save Tires.

The proper care of tires is most
important item in cars upkeep. The
driver should examine them carefully
after every trip and promptly take
care of an injury, no matter how
slight A trouble, small at first. may
lead up quickly to bad blowout and
then a new tire, In order to give you
good mileage your tires should be
watched constantly and kept clean.
Underinhation is the most prevalent
and the most expensive piece of care
lessness of the modern motOrist. Ride
on air. not on the tire walls. You
can't tell whether tires are properly
inflated by kicking them or watching
for dattening at point of contact. Car
ry and use a good pressure gauge.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1917-07-17
A FREE GIFT NOT
APPRECIATED

1t is deplorable that the only abb
solutely free thing that nature gives
us should so often be denied to the
human family. Air is the common
heritage of us all, but houses APP
parently are sometimes built so as
to shut out every possible chance
for ii TO enter. Given such house
and fill it with people and IL is not
long before disease, especially tu-
berculosis, spreads among its in
mates. To the lack Of air add un-
cleanliness, usual adjunct. and
the bill is complete to make it dead
ly in its consequences. Housing in
spectors in many cities are doing
their best to rid their cities of these
disease factories and much good Is
being accomplished, but ignorance
and carelessness continue to get in
their work. 1t is an uphill under
taking to educate the masses to the
Importance of fresh air and clean
illness but with the generous aid of
the newspapers the State Tubercu-
losis Commission is glad to report
gratifying progress. Remember
consumption can often he prevented
and sometimes cured by absolute
cleanliness Of body and surronnd-
ings, and the breathing of fresh
air day and night.

To Cultivate the Back Yard
With Success

TINE gardener should never permit
il the surface Of the soil to become
baked OF even to form an appre-
ciable crust. Constant stirring with
hand tools or a wheel cultivator should
be practiced between the rows and
about the plants.
such a stirring permits the air to
penetrate the soil, where 1t facilitates
chemical action and bacterial activity,
destroys weeds which otherwise would
utilize large amounts OF plant food
and. finally. conserves the moisture
supply.
The rake is perhaps the gardeners
most valuable tool in cultivating. This
can be passed backward and forward
over the ground until it is in an open
mellow condition. Where vegetables
grow closely In the rows 1t often will
be necessary to supplement the Guilt
walton by hand wedding. Small nipple.
ments are made for this purpose and
may be purchased cheaply. 1t is well
also i'm some cases to pull up weeds by
hand. especially where they grow close
ly about the stalks of the garden
plants.
Just as the gardener should be care
full In early spring not to dig the
ground when the soil Is too moist, so
be should be careful later In the sea-
son not to cultivate too soon after
rains. The stirring of very muddy
soil paddlcs Il into compact, cement
like mass in which the plant food is
securely locked.
The garden will require attention
however. as soon as the excess mois-
tuTe from a rain has soaked &; c. part
ly evapOrated. Unless the ground is
stirred at this time a crust will form
almost inevitably. Such crust. be-
sides restricting the plants, prevents
the access of air and also facilitates
the loss of moisture through evapora-
ton.
When during prolonged dry spells
the plants give evidence of suffering
because of the lack of moisture, wa
ter must, il possible, be supplied arti-
ticially. Where a supply of piped wa
ter is at hand perhaps the most usual
method of irrigation Is by sprinkling
with hose. If sprinkling is practiced
it should be done late in the afternoon.
1t is not sufficient merely to dampen
the surface; thorough wetting should
be given.
A more satisfactory and more eco
nomical method of irrigation, however,
is to open small burrows between the
rows of growing plants and to supply
water in these bitches from a hose or
pipe. Several hours after the water
has soaked in the dry earth should be
drawn back into place.
