EYES GROW KEENER IN DARK
Why the Sight Then Is More Sensitive
Than in the Light, Explained
by Scientists.

On entering dark room after a
stay in the outside daylight the eye at
once begins to increase in sensitivity.
AT first this increase appears to be
slow, but after five minutes the in
crease is quite rapid, the eye acquiring
a sensitivity several hundred times its
initial value, says a writer in the
Journal of General Physiology ~
After 80 minutes sojourn in the
dark the sensitivity still increases, but
more slowly than before, and after 45
minutes or an hour the maximum SEN
sitivity is reached. The final SENSITIVE
ity varies slightly with different peo-
pie, but in fully adapted condition the
eye is easily 5000 or 10000 times more
sensitive than it was at the beginning.
These facts are obtained from
study of the sensitiveness of the eye
in the dark made by Selig Hecht oe
Creighton university, Omaha. Mr..
Hecht's study goes to show that the
increased sensitiveness is due to a re-
versible photO-chemical reaction with
in the retina, involving photosensitive
substance and it's two products of de-
composition.

FORMER SCOUTS IN COLLEGE

An interesting development in SCOUT
ing relationship with the universities
has been seen in the work of the Ithaca
On. W council, Boy Scouts Of Amer
lea, in connection with Cornell uni
versity. A meeting of the students at
tending Cornell university who have
been scouts was held. The local coun-
cil brought before these students
their desire to be of assistance to-
them and serve them in every way
possible while they are at college, and
to bring before them their opportu-
nifty to help scouting nationally. Sew
eral of the young men who have been
scouts are helping with the local work.
One of them who came to the meeting
was Chou-son-King, who has been an
assistant scoutmaster in Shanghai,

BOY SCOUTS ONE BIG NIGHT

The evening of February is the.
date that every boy scout in the land
remembers. 1t Is the red-letter date
III his calendar. For 1t was on Feb
ruary s that the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica was Incorporated, and 1t is an es-
tabished custom for all scouts to cele-
brate the event annually.
The custom has assumed the form
of huge birthday party for the whole
organization, starting with or at least
including February s, and continuing
through Lincoln's birthday, February
Il. This is the eleventh birthday year
OF the scouts. The idea back of the
celebration is to bring more definitely
to the attention of each community the
value of scouting as a program for
work with boys for the development
OF character and training for citizen
ship.
At the hour of s rs on February s
every registered boy scout, no matter
where he may be, is supposed to stand
at salute and commit himself anew
to the scout oath and law. In most
cases the scouts gather for this cere-
mony in their troop meeting places.
The emphasis of this celebration is
such as will impress the solidarity Of
the movement upon the entire mem
bership, as we'll as foster the feeling
OF the individual responsibility of each
scout to the organization as a whole.
Heretofore the scouts have stood
at salute when their watches an
nounced S:15, which, on account of the
difference in time between East and
West did not make the act simultane-
Gus. This year the effort was made
to have the salute at exactly the same
everywhere, corresponding to
10 eastern tinse, the time Of the
clock in the national headquarters.

them in institutions. 1t was Theodore
Roosevelt who, when the Society began,
agreed with the Aid Committee that, first,
the child should be kept in its own home

possible. Secondly, if it could not be kept
in its own home, it should have natural,
normal family life in someone else's home,
instead OF being placed in an institution
