The class of 1921 started on its sec

officers. The highest dignitary
otherwise the president, is Harold

of the class, as it has to do with the

important things can be said of the
class as whole, but one is their SUI

wh.. Make. tn. Rumb,. Of Thunder,

What Makss the Rumble Of Thundsrf
Why does thunder rumblef The path
Of a lightning flash through the air
may be several miles In length. All
along this path the sudden expansion
of the heated ARA true explOsion-
sets up an atmospheric wave which
spreads In all directions and eventual
ly registers upon our ears as thunder.
Since the lightning discharge is almost
instantaneous. the sound wave is pro-
duced at very nearly the same time
along the whole path. But the sound
wave travels slowly through the air.
Its speed Is approximately 1000 feet
per second. Thus the sound from the
part Of the lightning's path that Is
nearest to US reaches Us drst. and that
from other parts Of the path after
ward. according to their distance. In
termittent clashes and booming effects
are due chiefly to Irregularities In the
shape Of the path.-Popular Science

Pray. for R.d Hair.

At a religious meeting in Pennsyl.
vanla a youth asked the prayers Of the
pastor and people in order that he
might become redheaded. 1t seems
that his hair was Of a yellowish.whlte
shade that was no color at all. He had
heard the red heads were good scrap
pers. and he was praying the Lord to
give him red hair 30 that he might go
forth to Tight the kaiser. There's
something in this, too, and there's an
Idea abroad that a regiment of auburn.
haired Amazons could put crimp In
