Fatty Coon suddenly saw something
bright, all yellow and red, that
lighted on the water right before
him. 1t was a bug, or huge fly.
And Fatty was very fond of bugs
to eat, you know. So he lost no
time. The bright thing had scarcely
settled on the water when Fatty
reached out and seized it. He put
it into his mouth, when the strang-
est thing happened. Fatty felt him
self pulled right over into the water.
He was surprised. for he never
knew a bug or. fly to be SO strong
as that Something pricked his
cheek and Fatty thought that the
bright thing had stung him. He
tried to take it out of his mouth,
and he was surprised again. What
ever the thing was, it seemed to be

WHY
Do Objects Turn Yellow
From Age2

When we say that something is
yellow with age" we refer either
to an object composed of vegeta-
Bile matter or use the phrase in
its metaphorical sense-for,
strictly speaking, only vegetable
matter turns yellow with the pas
sage of time, as is evidenced in
the case Of paper, cloth or leaves.
The yellow tint, therefore, is not
dependent upon age, but upon
what the object is formed of.
In the case of leaf, the color
ing matters or pigments undergo
chemical change as the months
pass by, splitting up into a num-
Der of other shades in which yell
low predominates. SO also the
majority of other things which
grow yellow as they grow old do
so because OF the production of a
yellow pigment formed by one of
The substances contained within
them. an absence OF fresh air and
sunshine often fastening this
chemical change.

THINGS FERRIS DID NOT DO.

In a speech before a crowded
house here, some time ago, Con

Of the strenuous work of the
president and the war congress
and its efforts during 19l6-1917-
1913, called attention in a some
what striking way to the course
Of those obstructionist senator's
and congressman whose record
during those years will always
be a blot upon the party and up
on the states they so miserbaly
mis-represented. He did not men

antagonists of the governments

A CITIZENSHIP OATH.

"We will never bring disgrace
to this our city, by any act of
dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever
desert our suffering comrades in
the ranks. We will fight for the
ideal and sacred things Of the
city. We will revere and obey
the citys laws and do our best
to excite a like respect and reyer-
ence in those above rs who are
prone to annul and set them at
naught. We will strive unceas-
ingly to quicken the public sense
Of civic duty, and thus in all
these ways, we will transmit this
city, not only not less, but great
er, better and more beautiful
than it was transmitted to us. "
The foregoing is what is
known as the Ephebic Oath taken
by young Athenians when assum-
ing the responsibilities of citizen
ship And this comes down to
us from them as taken some two
thousand years ago Every citi-
zen Of the great land ought to
feel that he should at least cher
ish as high an ideal for his citi-
zenship as did the Athenian

LIGHTING THE KITCHEN

In the home kitchen right at the sink is where the housewife or maid spends a great deal of time. preparing the meal if there is no electric dish washer and this sink should be well lighted for all such kitchen operations. A 75-watt daylight lamp over the sink shining directly down upon the sink will Speed up production as well as good lighting in a factory. Such a lamp has glass of bluish tint which reproduces naturally a daylight effect hence it's name. As the light is not on continuously as a reading lamp would be in other rooms. the amount of current used is negligible.

GOOD LIGHTING
 HAS bENEF |C|AL
 HEAL III EFFECT

Several states. recognizing the bene- ficial effects of good lighting on the health and safety of employees. have adopted lighting codes These stipu- late the minimum intensities permiss ible for certain operations and also in- dicate the desirable intensities, and equipment to be used to eliminate glare.
 But regardless of codes and laws manufacturers are fast coming to realize that the best possible illumina- tion in their plants pays big dividends. As the intensity of the artificial light is increased. it is found that both the quality and the quantity of the output improves. Some of the leading in dudtrial managers admit that they have not vet reached the limit Fo~ example in some plants where the average intensity of light was former ly about or 5 foot candles (the unit used in measuring illumination) the intensity has been increased 70 30 foot candles and the increased reve- nue from greater and better produc- ton has far exceeded the cost of the added light.
 The question is, where will the limit be found? ? When it is known that on a sunny day. in the shade, the light intensity is about 500 foot candles, it may readily be seen that artificial lighting still has a long way to go to equal the light of nature.
 Actual experience has proved that improved lighting improves production. There is such a thing as productive intensties.'' Records show that i'm provements in industrial plant light ing have resulted in production in creases ranging from 82o to 359o. The importance of lighting as a factor in production is admitted; the evidence is indisputable.
 Of course the factory manager is in terested in means to increase produc- ton, and he iS> also interested in the cost of the means to produce the in crease. Reports from various locali- tias and Narin11S cla Ssas of llanfS

The pictures are projected from a flat, transparent, non-inflan- mable spiral disc. On each ten and one-half inch picture record are 1900 pictures. equal to S5 feet of roll film. Pictures are converted to the spiral records from the ordinary roll film, yet the reduced pictures retain all the clearness of the original. All the won ders of travel, industry, natural history, animal life, botany, chemistry and other sciences which have so long been re- corded on the roll film can now be edited down to essentials and con verted to the spiral record for showing in the home or at the school.
