The x-RaY Microscope.

There is method of using X-rays
with the microscope called microra-
biography. The apparatus enables a
person quickly and thoroughly to ex-
anime the internal structure of small
opaque objects, the dissection of which
for microscopic observation is ordinar-
lily very slow and unsatisfactory.
So clearly does the instrument re-
veal the internal structure of diatoms
and other minute organisms that speci-
mems apparently belonging to the same
species have in some cases been easily
seen to belong to different species.
Moreover, the apparatus shows the
bones and other parts Of large animals
and fossils in extremely minute de-
tail.

Young PEOPLES Evenings.

Harm often comes from the too i'm
plicit faith which parents place in chill
dren's accounts of where their eve
nings are spent. To obviate the use
by young people of the social centers
in the schools as an excuse for their
absence from home when they have
been elsewhere, the schools of Milwau-
kee issue cards to children Of parents
who demand them. When the young
man or woman goes to the social GEN.
ter the time of his or her entrance is
recorded on the card as are also the
time of leaving and kindred data. In
this fashion parents are enabled to
verify their children's assertions that
they have spent an evening at school
center.

JUNIOR PROM

One of the delightful pleasures the
Senior class of the Wausau High
school can look forward to the last
happy week of their High school life,
is the annual Junior prom. The prom
is always an affair of unusual interest
to both the class and faculty members
as it is the last time that they meet
together as faculty and Senior class

fected for the pleasure of the Seniors

much heralded event.

pavilion on the evening of Friday, June
Sth. A reception will be rendered the
guests from eight until nine o'clock,
after which dancing will commence
and continue until one o'clock. 1t has
been stated that the two-step, waltz
and redowa, are the only dances per-
mitted in the ball room on that even
ing
According to custom only the mem
bers of the Senior and Junior classes,
the High school faculty, members of
the board of education with their wives
or husbands, parents and members of
members of the Senior class and all
alumni and alumnae, will be guests.
Applications for others attending the
party must be made in writing to L.
C. Painter, as it is exclusively High
school affair.
The committee on general arrange
ments include Jean Gilbert, Helen An
derson, Dorothy Bucklin, Catherine
Geier, Fred Gaedtke, Louis Leak, Rus
sell Cook, Norman Cheverier and Ed
win Spar.

JOHN LEARNED HIS LESSON
Fathers Little HomiIy on the Evils Of
Procrastination Produced the
Desired Effect on Son.

"John," said Doctor Brown to his
son, ''that grass has needed cutting for
some days"
"Yes, sir" replied John. q am going
to cut it tomorrow"
"It isn't very important whether or
not the grass is cut" answered his IA
ther, rbut it's extremely important
you have the right state of mind about
getting at what needs to be done. There
is a legend that satan once offered a
prize to the demon who should suggest
the surest method of damning mems
souls. One brought forward q most
brilliant argument to demonstrate the
futility of goodness. Another most
luringly pictured the attractions of
evil. Another proposed that the satanic
legions should admit the wisdom and
the glory of Righteousness, but should
concentrate their powers on persuading
men to put off the day when they
should begin to practice righteousness.
Satan is said to have awarded his
prize to that suggestion.
"There is no question:" continued the
doctor, ''that the greatest enemy to
goodness in the world is procrastina-
ton. Every man that lives means some
day to lead good life. You have seen
that little placard on office walls, DO It
Now' 1t ought to be before our eyes
wherever we go. 1t ought to be writ
ten in our minds. Just as soon as we
discern the right thing to be done, we
ought to set about doing it without de-
lay. If we delay today, it's twice as
easy to delay again tomorrow. Get the
habit, John, in small things. If the
grass ought to be cut now, then require
of yourself that you cut it now. If your
Latin ought to be prepared now, then
don't risk the chance of getting the
procrastinating habit by putting it off
to another time. / don't urge you to
plunge into things without thinking.
Take all the time you need to come to
your conclusions. But when your
judgment tells you thing surely ought
to be done, get at it at the first possible
moment. Do it nOw!"
John started for the door. "That
grass ought to be cut, that's sure" he
said, "and I'm going to do it now ~

In the question of light rooms 1t is
fact that windows grouped together
give more light than the same num-
Der and size of windows scattered
about the walls. For the too-dark

other advantage of such step Is to
apparently and actually increase the

How Grass Grows.

1t may be matter of surprise that
tender young grass can ever force its
way up through hard ground. The
principle is the same as that Of open
ing a tin of condensed milk. The
sharp pointaOf the tin opener is first
inserted in the tin and when an en-
trance has been forced the blade can
follow. So it is with the grass. Each
blade has fine point, which, by the
mysterious power of growing life,
forces its way between the particles of
soil, however tightly they may be
packed together and thus a passage L.
made for the blade to follow.
