MAKE QUIZ cry GROW

Men are perhaps more likely to
purchase non.union made cigars than
the product of any other so-called
open shops The reason for this may
be that men are not SO much on their
guard when buying cigar as they
are when purchasing q suit OF clothes
or even loaf Of bread. Yet such
carelessness may mean disaster to
the union cigar maker. for which
reason men of the smoking habit
should not buy q smoke" by the
piece or the box without first con-
+. vincing themselves of the union label

hour in cigar store the other day
During that time many customers
bought cigars, and only one union
made cigar was sold Carefully hid

To await, sometime In the dim and

But the queer thing was the fact
that of the customers patronizing this

members of the Chamber of Com.
merce and other civic organizations
who are loud in their demand that our
citizens patronize home Industries.
Not one of these men bought cigar
that was made in the Twin Cities.
The Review believes all union men
should buy union made cigars of local
manufacture, II IS equally strong in
its belief that all others should at
least copfine their cigar purchases to
the products of local manufacturers.
Union men, employers. and all
others of our citizens. are alike in.

would refuse to smoke any but 10
cally-made cigars.

MEN OF IMMORTAL MEMORY
Many Of the Works Of the Greek
Philosophers, Plato and Aristotle,
Are Still Preserved.

Plato (427-347 Il. c., the celebrated
Greek philosopher, taught that the
true source of knowledge Is the reason,
observes an exchange. According to
his teaching, we come to conscious
ness through innate ideas developed
by contact with the outer world
through senses. He distinguished be-
tween empirical knowledge and reason,
and divided philosophy into logic.
metaphysics and morals. He was the
first to attempt the construction Of
philosophic language; to develop an
abstract idea Of knowledge and
science; to state logically the prop
critics of matter, form, substance, &C
cident, cause and effect, reality and
appearance; to describe the divinity
as a being essentially good, and tell
of his moral attributes. He taught
that matter is an eternal and infinite
principle; that God Is the supreme In
telligence, incorpOreal. without begin
ming, end or change, and that the soul
Of man Is immortal. Aristotle (3S4-
322 B. CO., another celebrated Greek
philosopher. was the pupil of Plato and
the teacher Of Alexander the Great.
He makes logic the instrument by
which all general knowledge is OBJ
tanned. He enlarged the limits Of
philosophy to include all sciences ex-
cept history. He taught that nature
is a machine, active through deity or
q first cause.

CATFISH CLIMB SMOOTH WALL
Certain Species Equipped With Pc
euIiar Suction Apparatus That
Makes Feat Really Easy.

An interesting account Of the climb
ing catfish Of Colombia (Arges mar
mOratus) was published a few years
ago by r. d. o. johnson. These fish
can climb, by means of suction ap-
paratus, not only up the steeply-in-
clined bed of mountain torrent, but
even up a smooth, vertical surface.
Mr.. johnson saw some of them climb
a vertical distance of Is feet In half
an hour. up a wall Of rock over which
trickled a thin film Of water.
In connection with a recent publica-
ton of this article, G. X. Noble states
that other species Of fish are known to
climb In the same manner. Several OF
these occur In the Himalaya. Nema-
chilus rupicola, and perhaps other spe-
cies of mountain cyprinids. adhere to
the rocks by means Of their smooth
ventral skin and enlarged lips. The
silurid genera Pseudecheneis and
Glyptosternum cling by means Of q
well-developed abdominal sucker.
The mountain torrents Of the Hima-
laya form the nursery for many spe-
cies of frogs. Their tadpoles. like
the fish, have become adapted to their
location; some cling by means of their
lips and ventral musculature. while
others possess a well-developed ven
trail sucker.-Scientific American.

New York.-America has success

navigation of the air, so far as heavier
than air craft are concerned, despite
the lack of aerial laws, landing fields
and other such handicaps, according
to a review of the year 1920, issued
by the Manufacturers Aircraft asso-
citation. The review says:
Decreased production and a gen.
eral contraction in the ,aerOnautical
industry generally Is offset by the
more encouraging records of perform
ance made in American aviation this
year. While the last twelve months

Commander A. G. Read, hero Of
the transatlantic flight in the NC-4,

noteworthy expedition from Rock

sissippi river to Cairo, III. When the
NC-4 returned to Rockaway January

miles. Three of the four Packard
Liberty engines had operated without
trouble during the 11S hours In the
air, the fourth more than eighty-twO
hours. Along the Mississippi the
motors were run on commercial gasO-
line picked up from point to point en-
route. Read reported that the great
est difficulty encountered was lack of
proper maps.
Compared to long-flight attempts
conducted by European governments
the American ventures were particu-
larly successful. No less than four
expeditions attempted to fly the 5,2O6

"land Of the Mind"

A French author once coined the
phrase: THE land Of the mind"
1t Is a realm that many of US have
forgotten. There the imagery Is real I:
there death Is unknown, and the only
riches are mems thoughts.
With every age 1t grows In splen-
dor. Dickens, Milton, Shakespeare.
Hugo-these and countless others
have left their all for those who
travel there.
The demands Of existence have
blinded some Of US to the joys that
lie in such travels. AS children we
rOamed the fields Of imagination, but
now we believe only in the material.
Yet we call ourselves wise.
The dreary nights of winter are
ahead. Why not cheat them of their
dreariness, and on the wings Of lit

depend. Another of his achievements
is a particularly efficient seismograph
which records earthquake shocks, and
is so sensitive that 1t will respond to
heavy disturbances taking place in
any part of the earth.
OF prime importance In studying soil
moisture. ETC., is knowledge Of the
rate at which evaporation takes place
on the surface Of bodies Of water.
One of the instruments used In this
work is also the product of his brain.
Still another Marvin invention Is a

which makes a continuous record Of
atmospheric pressures so that one can
tell at a glance how much the -barome-
ter has risen and fallen during given
period. No weather fOrecasting can
be done without knowledge Of changes
in barometric -pressures.
A study of the clouds, their char
acter and movements, is another i'm
portant phase of the work at the
weather bureau. To carry 1t on bet
ter, Mr.. Marvin devised a nephoscope

determines the motion Of clouds and
their apparent velocity.
OF all the varied services under
Marvin's supervision first In impor-
lance is the work Of the forecasting
division. which receives and charts
twice daily Geographic reports of pre-
vailing conditions. and issues state
ments Of impending weather changes
In the case of severe disturbances.
warnings are issued along the lakes
and sea coasts. The frost and cold
wave warnings are invaluable to many
interests, including the trucker and
fruit grower, especially in the spring
when. tender vegetation needs protec-
ton.
The aim Of the weather bureau. as
guided in its enlarging program by
Mr.. Marvin. has been to serve wher-
ever its facilities and a special need
made service practicable. The va
riety of special uses of the storm
warnings illustrate another phase of
the practical value of the forecasters'
service. In advance Of predicted
storm, rice planters flood their crops
to prevent the straw from being brok-
en- by the winds. Agents Of marine
insurance companies stop insuring
cargoes after storm has been pre-
dicted. Fishermen take steps to pro-
tect their boats and nets. Lumber
men make their standing booms secure
and regulate their log towing At lake
ports vessels load hurriedly If they
can get off two to five hours in ad-
vance of off-shore winds. If snow is
expected, shippers must start II to IS
hours in advance.
Not only on the farms and on the
water is the service of the weather
bureau invaluable. but cities also are
constantly dependent upon it. With
notice of an approaching cold wave,
greenhouses are closed and their boil
ers fired. Preparations are made at
once by heating and lighting plants
in all cities. whether gas, electric,
steam or hot water. Fire plugs, ex-
posed mains. and general plumbing are
