Difiraction is the spreading Of a
wave of light into the space behind
an obstacle that interrupts its dir

case of the formation of coronas

one result of attraction is the
dispersion of the various colors of

from this arises the appearance of

A son of Major General Leonard A
Wood has entered the regular army as a
private. What makes the enlistment all
the more ereditable is that young Wood
is not without some experience as an Off

been captain in the Harvard univer-

unable to get an appointment to the
Plattsburg officer training camp and so
he has decided to start from the ranks

London, May 3.-The British gov

The object of the plan, 1t is stated.

secured
The country is beirg divided into
thirteen districts, with a divisional

Mexico City, April 29.-Rigid re-
quirements of the United States gov
ernment in regard to proofs Of Amer
ican citizenship before passportst are
issued have worked hardships on a
number of old-time residents of Mex

selves as Americans. The case of A..
C. Savage, civil engineer, is the most
notable, for Mr.. Savage, although 70
years old, has still to convince the
American consulate that he Is an
American citizen.
According to Mr.. Savage, he was
born in Brooklyn but, after the lapse
of more than half century, he has
found it impossible to produce citi-
zenship proofs required by the Amer
lean government
During his adventurous career, Mr..
Savage located railways in almost ev-
cry part OF the then wild United
States. including the line of the Tex

Black Hills he fought Indians with
Colonel w. F. Cody and in the old In
dian Territory he served as deputy

cur generals in the revolution that

that they would pray as they marched

"An enlightened public opinion is

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo in
a message to the American newspaper
Publishers Association. "By keeping
the people Of America informed on

world of the financial and other

public service Of incalculable benefit

Men who do big things realize the
part played by the newspapers Of the
country in putting the big things ov-

ment of what the American newspa-

Even when he is the creature of pub.
