MYSTERY OF MANY THINGS EXPLAINED IF YOU
STUDY CHEMISTRY At SCHOOL

Dear Juniors: A,letter from Marvin
Sweet asks me if there can be a
Chemistry Division in the Junior
Travel Club. 1 say there can, and 1t
seems to me there is a dandy chance
to travel into the world right around
US if we know something about
chemistry. Who wants to join the
Chemistry Division of the. Junior
Travel Club? How many are inter-
ested in that subject? Let me hear
from you.
There is a chemical action Of some
kind in the fall of the year when the
leaves drop from the trees. l am told
the leaves help prepare the ground
of this action, and I am going to
study about that when I get along
in school. Who knows what that &C
tion is? What makes the doorbel1
ring when you push the button! We
say the electricity. But what was the
made the electricity? We talk on
telephone and I guess the same an
swer will tell how the voice is carried.
Now they have worked out ma
ch.nery for measuring a mans pulling
power and Just how much power he
uses in walking any distance. They
are doing strange things every day.
and it seems to me the real mysteries
are right around us. But when they
are explained everything seems so
simple.
The Egyptians seemed to have the
first knowledge of chemistry, for they
could mix poisons and colors. The
Arabs knew something about those
things. too. The part I think l am go
ing to like about chemistry when
come to study it is the signs they
use for different things. 1t all looks
like a secret code to me and all boys
like that. Some of the names seem
strange too, bu. like the chemistry
itself they are easy when explained.
There is the word galvanized which
comes from the name Galvani. the
man who discovered galvanic cleo
tr:city and volts comes from the
name Volta. who also advanced the
study Of chemistry. So that does not
seem so hard after all.
The Junior Travel Club members
may have a lot of chemistry bugs
and if so let me hear from you and
tell me what experiments you have
made and how they came out.
In one of my letters I asked about
