It is if the pure waters of the fountains we had always drunk from peoples, and they have drunk and were refreshed.
 And it is a delightful thought to believe that these are fountains after all, no doubt the impulse was contri- sort of mutual pledge on the part of all the self-governing nations of the world that they will be friends to each other. not only, but that they will take pains to secure each others safety and independence and territor- ial integrity which sprang up out of the soil of the Americas.

There IS gloom tnere-and what @ gloom it is; dense, discouraging and a silent story of the better days than have come and gone-never to riurn again.
 Not until we crept carefully into bed in that overcrowded, but proud Hotel Navarro in Toledo some time in wee morning hours of Sunday did the writer appreciate fully what prohi- bition meant. With tEe writer prohi- bition means something serious-not a joke. It ceased to be a joke.
 The classics say that some notable Roman hero, whom we don't care to mention for the very good reason tha t liquor in those good old days was part of ones meal-a sort of essen tial-"came, saw and conquered"
 We dropped into Toledo, Friday morning. It was a gloomy day, too and our straw lid rather amused those Toledians. Yes, we came that day.
 But it was not until Saturday nigh; that we SAW. And what we saw we will never forget. Neither do we care to forget.

 Toledo, true, is a progressive ham, let. For hundreds of miles around folks were in the habit of making weekly visits to that city. For months Detroiters trodded the roads leading to that city. For years Toledo has been recognized as the center of American high life.
 But with that noisy wake" all this came to pass Saturday night.
 Had what we seen and heard hap pened in East Side New York years and years ago we probably would not have given the incident second thought-but it happened in Ohio, the home of good fellows.
 When we first stepped off the Lake Shore Limited at the Central railroad station in Toledo, Friday morning, it was a very inviting, happy, hospitable city that faced us.
 But when we left, we left behind a much disturbed city, unhappy and gloomy.
 And what transpired in the mean time our memory will forever keep fresh.
 AS one Toledian-a snowman, by the way-said it, it was a grand night for murder" And there wa; murder. This is the toll of the night marking the downfall of MT. Booze and his allied forces.
 Two unidentified men were found brutally murdered on Superior street about two minutes walk from the cen tre of the city
 Seventeen men and women were found brutally assaulted and other wise in helpless condition on side streets.

Paris. Monday, May 26-The joy oe the Australian delegation at the peace conference over the news of the res cue of Harry G. Hawker was express ed in a statement issued by it tonight.
 The world will not forget his plucky attempt" the statement said Australia is proud of Harry Hawker and the Australian delegation ha.'s him as a worthy son of the great land which gave him birth. The figh. was for the purpose of testing the ability of an airplane to cross a great space n a new way. Technically, the air plane has yet to be proved, but Hawker's attempt has more than proved the ability of the men who operate those machines. It is a great brave men. It is perhaps greater that the whole world. after five years Of war, still admires bravery
 New York, May 27-Harry G. Hawker and Lieut.. Commander Grieve had with them on their at tempted transatlantic flight a silver Joan of Arc medal to be delivered to the British Museum collection. The local Joan of Arc statue committee announced today that the rescued air men carried one Of two medals for delivery to European Museums.
 The medal was struck in com mem oration of the celebration held on tl-e 507th anniversary of the birth of Joan of Arc and the naming of the park in her honor on Riverside drive at Ninety-first street on January 6th last.

Practical Training in Science Work
Provided in School Laboratories

Fundamentals and practical facts
are the watch words of the science de-
partment of Richmond high school.
These words do not describe the fas-
cination of the work, however, and 1t
is the interesting side as well as the
practical side of physics and chemis-
try, the sciences offered. that S. S.
Vernon and A. O. Heck of the depart
ment are bringing to their pupils.
The high school laboratories and
equipment are greatly superior to
those in many high schools. and equal
and even superior to those of many
colleges.
An example Of interesting and prac-
tical work was shown the chemistry
classes recently when the telephone
company asked Mr.. Vernon to get
some platinum contact points out OF
German silver. Vernon and some of
his pupils treated the German silver
with nitric acid which dissolved the
silver and left the platinum points I'M
touched and bare. About SIS worth OF
platinum was secured from old springs
in this way for the telephone company.

cannot point out all the men who
through a knowledge of practical and
theoretical chemistry won distinction
from the government, and did a big
part in winning the war through their
work with high explosive shells, and

an excellent course for boys or girls
who are in any way interested in
science"

No better training in laboratory
technique can be received than in
high school courses, symbols, cleanli
ness. and cleverness in handling ap-
paratus is of great advantage, it is
said, to the pupils who intend to con-
tinue science in college or university
work.
Extremely interesting work with the
velocity of sound has been taken up
recently by the first term physics class
and will probably be used some in the
second semester work Of this class.
This week the class went into the
country and divided itself into two
groups with a measured distance of
several thousand feet between them.
One group had shot gun the other
a stop watch. At the appearance of
smoke, which occurs Immediately with
the discharge of firearm the stop
watch group set the watch, which they
stopped upon getting the sound" Els
Inmates secured by the groups were
very good. One group missed the cor
rect time only one per cent. This
class had a distance of AT of mile,
2,481.6 feet, and they caught the sound
in 2.24 seconds, an average of 1,195
feet a second. The correct average
should have ben 1,107 feet a second.
Loss in power, efficiency in electri-
cal devices, motor testing, and other
advanced work is taken up, by the
Physics III class. There are no girls
in this class, but A. o. Heck, physics
teacher, explained that there is rea-
son for this, as girls could "get the
work. in his opinion. Electricity
seems to be one that very few, if any
girls have entered, he observed. There
are Al pupils taking elementary phys
les at present, nine in the second divi-
sion and ten in the third division.

all received in the Richmond high
school, and after arriving at Akron,
he merely had to study up on the
rubber side" of the question. This
future is in store for any enterprising
youths who take to the course !,
Vernon says.
Mr.. Vernon explained that the Sec
ond term in his chemistry classes will
be concerned with a variety of work.
Analysis, and "unknowns" will be
taken up, and special work for boys
and girls will be done. The girls will
have a good course in household
chemistry including work with dyes,
textiles. bleaching, cleaning processes,
removal of stains, baking powders,
soaps and others, while the boys will
do special work in commercial photo
graphy and other lines.

took chemistry last semester and are

Crime to Hit Man lpith

Chief Gormor were the chief debaters.
