Zinc in the human Body.

discovered, according TO the Scientific
American Monthly. that zinc Is an cs.

the human body. The metal exists IN
all organs, although in rather small
percentage, about 0.OOO1 by weight.
The weight is variable, the highest
proportion being found I'm the nervous

that the chemical operations OF nutri-

The Journal of the American Medi-
cal association has printed a resume
OF the report of joint committee ap-
pointed by the National Education as
ISOLATION and the American Medical
association on conservation of vision
and lighting in schools.
The report finds serious fault with
lighting arrangements in most schools.
1t notes the great advances in the
working out of the application of arti-
ficial light and the comparative neg
lect of the study of using sunlight.
The report says that for indoor see
ing the practical problem is to get
enough light. The eye evolved large
iy for outdoor. seeing and the com
parative deficiency of light for in
door work is enormous. The con-
struction of the eye and its relative
position in the body particularly adapt
it for looking down at its work. The
easy position is with the work as much
below the eye as in front OF it.
The eye is protected from above by
projecting brow and lashes; not so
from below. We have all noted how
unpleasant it is when light is reflected
from below as from snow or water.
Light engineers have taken note of
these conditions in the application of
artificial light but the problem is I'M
solved for daylight.
The report recommends that school
windows should be as high as possible.
A skylight would be the ideal window
but it is not practicable. The window
should go as high as the ceiling, yet
the universal practice is to have a foot
or two of dead space between the win.
dow and the ceiling. Any-shade at the
top OF the window should be of white,
thin and translucent and should be
used only to keep out direct sunlight.
A dark shade may be used to keep out
the glare at eye level II the construc-
ton Of the windows makes It neces-
sary.
The weakest point in utilizing day
light. the report insists, is the failure
to light the ceiling whence the light
can be diffused in the normal direc-
ton downward on the scholars work.
This can be done only by reflection.
The report condemns the very pre-
from one side, the north preferably.
and falling over the pupils left
shoulder. Even the newest school
rooms are built with blank walls on
one side. This waste of the opportu-
nifty to flood the room with needed
light is indefensible. Light should
come from as many sides as possible.
II the windows are high enough.
shades properly arranged, walls and
ceilings correctly tinted only benefit
can come.
This report Is an important con-
tribution to an important but neglected
phase of industrial as well as school
architecture and should be studied by
those planning new buildings or re-
modelling old ones.

THE BROTHERHOOD WILL
IC0MPLETE0 ORGANIZATION

The preliminary organization of the
Brotherhood effected on January 10 in
the lobby of the new hotel, designated
January "a as the time for the general
meeting to effect a permanent organ
izatlon: so on Monday evening next all
the men Of the community are request
ed TO meet in the lobby of the hotel
promptly at 6:45 o'clock for luncheon
and organization.
Tickets will be sold in advance for
the luncheon, and may be had from the
Advertising Committee, consisting of S
f. Notson, ]. A. Waters, j. NJ. Hart and
w. o. Livingstone, and the price will
be sixty cents. See one Of these men
not later than Monday noon and get
your ticket; the tickets must be sold
in advance in order that the hotel pro-
prietor may know how many he must
feed.
This organization has no political
motive nor religious purpose, directly
or indirectly; it viii be absolutely dem
ocratic, ard is de5.gned to supply a
real need in this community. The men
Of Heppner should get together on
common ground for their mutual well
fare, and the good of the entire COM
munity, Let US prove that it can be
done by the organization of a strong
Brotherhood. Every man in the whole

lay required. The benefits to be de-
rived from such an organization are
