Arthur B. Cline, Manager of the
Cline Teachers Agency. returned last
fhursday from q business trip to the
west. He attended the National Edu-
cation Association meeting held at
Salt Lake City, where he conferred
with the manager of the Boise, Idaho.
branch Of the Cline Teachers Agency.
From Salt Lake he went by way of
San Francisco to San Diego where he
visited the San Diego branch Office.
Mr.. Cline says that both Offices were
svamped with calls for elementary
and high school teachers for all de-
partment of work. The salaries Cali
fornia and the other western states
are Offering are sufficiently high for a
Missouri teacher to pay an agency
commission and the expenses Of the
trip and still have more money than
he can Qh1ain in this section for the
same qu1(lncations and work. The
school buildings and equipment are
much better in the west than here.

FREELY SECRET Is WEALTH


II some local scientist thinks he can
succeed where many others have fail
d, he can start in by solving :;!e
problem the lightning bug, or FREELY,
presents. According to pr. Leonard
Haseman Of the entomology depart
ment, . fortune is in store for the man
who actually finds out how to produce
the same light the firefly does.
This light is the most efficient light
in the world as only one-one thous-
andth Of l per cent Of the rays are
heat rays. Our best electric lights
are only IS per cent efficient
The light in 30 intense that it will
penetrate an ordinary match box and
affect q Photographic plate. The in
sect has the power to flash the light
On or on at will just a. we snap an
electric globe on or off.
The reason scientists have not been
able to determine the exact nature
and source Of the light is the fact that
changes occur SO rapidly in the light
organ after death They are unable
to find anything out from the sub
stances in the dead organ. However,
1t has ben determined that the light
Ii produced chemically. through the
oxidation Of some unknown substance
with the organ.
The light organ itself is composed
Of Q number Of glandular cells resting
in net work Of tiny air tubes. These
glandular cells produce the light-giv-
ing substance. Just before the insect
flashes. the air tubes are filled. A
nervous impulse starts q chemical re-
action between the oxygen in the air
tubes and the unknown substance in
the cells. The result IL the glow of
light.
