STUDENTS GET BETTER
IDEA OF WHAT SERVES
FOR SENSIBLE DRESS
BY MARIE FOSTER

a fashion show has been staged
by one Of the departments of Co
lumbia university. its object being
to give the students better ideas as
10 what constitutes tasteful and suit
able dress for all occasions. Living
models appear upon the stage dress
ed in costumes which vary from the
plain tailored uniform of white or
navy blue 10 the dress designed for
formal evening wear. For each ap-
pearance the stage is set with an APP
propriate scene, so that the effect of
the garments may be judged in
their proper surroundings. No eX-
travagant or costly costumes are
shown, as one of the purposes of the
exhibit is 10 impress upon onlookers
the fact that tasteful dress is not a
matter CT price but Of good judg
ment.
To vary the monotony and drive
home the moral the show is inter-
spersed with models dressed to Carl
cature the extreme. unsuitable and
often indecent attire in which the
young woman of today too frequent
~ appears.
Such a display is especially time
ly just now because the public is
cropping toward more economical and
sensible standards in dress, and with
very little assistance perceptible
Improvement in taste might be &C
complished. Most persons who dress
unsuitabiy do so because they do not
know what constitutes appropriate
dress, and fail TO distinguish be-
tween what is merely elaborate or
costly and what IS really good style.
other institutions which have the
opportunity for public exhibitions
might serve their communities by
staging such shows as this one at
Columbia Nor should the instruc-
ton be wholly limited TO the fe-
male OF the species, for the male al
so is in need of rescue from the folly
Of his ways.

places that can have the sun in their
zeniths, and this belt is called the
Torrid Zone. The boundaries Of the
zone are called the Tropics, tnat OF
Cancer TO the north and that of Cap
ricorn in the south. The word
"tropic" comes from the Greek word
meaning to turn. In the ancient DAYS
when these phenomena were first
studied. the summer solstice point
lay in the constellation OF Cancer,
the Crab, but the procession of the
equinoXeS has changed the position
OF the equator with respect to the
ecliptic circles so that this point has
gradually moved into Gemini.
The Seasons.
Another very important fact with
regard to the sun is that just at this
time, when we are having our warm
weather, the earth is farther from
the sun than at any other time. The
orbit of the earth is elliptical, so
that the earth's distance from the
sur does vary; but il is so very
nearly a circle that the variation is
very small and not by any means
great enough to cause the variation
between summer and winter. The
real cause of the seasons is, Of
course, the fact that during the
summer months the sun is higher III
the sky, thus giving us a more in
tense heat while it is up, and being
above the horizon a greater part of
the day than it is below, 1t warns us
for a longer period each day. Any
part Of the earth is warmed in the
daytime and cools off by radiation
at night. Therefore, when we have
summer the southern hemisphere
has winter. and vice versa.
Size of the sun.
The sun is one of the stars: only
il happens TO be our particular star,
and is SO close TO us as to dwarf all
the other stars OF the universe. AS
a matter Of fact the sun is not one
Of the largest Of the stars, nor vet
is IL one of the smallest; il seems to
be about average in size. But COM
pared 20 the earth and other planets
il is a veritable giant The earth's
diameter is about $500 miles and
that of the sun is over 100000,
which makes the latter equal in vol
ume to 100000 earths. In actual
amount OF material the sun has
more than 300, 900 times as much as
the earth. In the sky the sun does
not look quite so big, but that is be-
cause it's distance from us is about
90 300, 600 miles.
The sun is at an enormously high

The June evening sky is rich in
planets, for three of these, besides
the almost invisible Neptune, are
evening stars this month. Slightly
west OF the meridian and close to
the bright star Spica in Virgo, will
be found the rudy planet Mars.
about which 50 much astronomical
romance is constantly woven. Fur
Their 20 the westward. about half
way to the horizon, is an almost
straight line Of three stars; the high
est Is the planet Saturn, the next is
really a star, Regulus, and the low
est is Jupiter. the largest of all the
planets. Venus is still a morning
star, but viii change next month
and make its debut as evening star
in July, although it will not find a
place on the 8 o'clock map for many
months.
The sun.
The apparent movement OF the sun
along the ecliptic, which is due to
the real movement of the earth
along its orbit, will bring the former
TO the most northerly point in the
heavens which il can occupy, called
the summer sOlstice. II Is the date
which the astronomer sets for the
beginning Of summer, and this year
the event will happen on June 21,
at about 1890 p. M On this date
we will have the longest daylight
period and the shortest night, and
from. then on the nights will grow at
the expense OF the days. At the
time of the autumnai equinox they
will be equal, and thereafter the
night will be the longer period until
the vernal equinox is reached.
The sun never gets further north
OF the equator than 231h degrees, so
that no point on the earth's surface
which has a latitude Of more than
2316 north can ever have the sun di-
rectlv overhead in the zenith. There
is thus a belt on both sides of the
equator, extending 1924 degrees
north and south. in which lie all the

temperature, probably over 10000
degrees Fahrenheit. The earth only
catches a minute part Of ali the en-
ergy, both light and heat which the
sun Is constantly pouring into space.
At that We often think that we are
getting more than our fair share and
are inclined TO be grateful TO the
many billion miles which separate
Us from the body 20 which We owe
our existence. 1t has been calcu-
lated that the solar energy caught
by the earth contains enough power
70 run continuously as many as TO-
0OO, 900, 100000 Ford automobiles.
And that IS less than one two-bil-
lionth OF its total energy output.
What Is the source Of this appa-
rently limitless energy? The as
tronomer must acknowledge that he
does not know For many years IL
was firmly believed that the sun was
shrinking under the gravitational
pull Of the central nucleus upon the
outer layers, and that this decrease
in size released sufficient energy TO
account for the entire output OF the
sun. IL was calculated that in Or
der 20 produce so much energy the
sun would have TO shrink at the
rate OF only 24o feet per year. which
would not be noticeable in less than
10000 years.
Today the astronomer does not
believe that this contraction can be
the only source OF the suns heat;
for he has calculated that upon this
theory the sun could not have last
ed as long as we are certain il must
have lasted, according 70 the best
estimates of the age OF the earth.
Other sources of energy have 10 be
sought; among these has been sug-
gested the energy OF the atom It
self as is manifested in radioactive
substances such as radium. II is
possible that in the sun the immense
stores OF energy locked up IN the
minute atom are released in a way
which to US is, as yet. an une1plain-
ed mystery.

RED CROSS NOTES.

Miss Edith Bruce, the Red Cross
nurse, who has given her valuable
time to Newberry county for the
past three weeks, left Thursday
morning for Pickens, S. c., having
been sent there by the order of the
State Supervisor of nursing.
Miss Bruce was sent to Newberry
to tide over the influenza emergency.
This community is in very good shape
now to handle the situation, where
as Pickens is in acute need for a
community emergency nurse.
The State Supervisor OF nursing
will send a permanent trai led nurse
to Newberry at the earliest possible
date. Naturally with influenza re-
curing in number of places there
is a greater demand for nurses than
in norma. times.
A report of Miss Bruce's work for
the three weeks, February 5 to 70,
is as follows:
Patients seen, 1914; houses visited,
40; temperatures taken, so; baths
given, 16; alcohol rubs, 2.
The emergency hospital has not
been needed but large room 20x4o
feet with running water, on Cald-
we'll street, has been secured, also
beds, bedding and all that is neces-
sary in case hospital is needed.
The Red Cross has done effective
work and has saved some lives. The
mill villages are where the best work
was done. Quite a good deal of work
was done in the county; sent two
colored nurses to Pomaria, two to
Prosperity, four to Bishopv!lle, one
to Whitmire and one to Saluda.
