When New York Was

When New York was New Amsterdam,
Dutch reformers prohibited the playing Of nine
pins" The law was circumventcd by the addition
Of another pin-thcrc was no law against the
playing of ten pins. So fares all sumptuary law.
When the people can be convinced that
the drinking Of a glass of beer or wine is crime,
prohibition law be made effective but not
until then.
Driven by circumstances the carpenter

Driven by circumstances the American :
public drinks whiskey and "moonshine" instead Of

Our opponents say this is glorious, for
when all the users of "hootch' arc dead, we shall

Three years of experience with prohibit

hoped to establish character. by law.

DISPLAY OF SUMNER ART
CLASSES

On Wednesday afternoon, July 10,
the Summer School Art Glasses held
a display of their work in a room in
Hanson Hall. There were samples
from pencil drawing, pastel, toy
making, cut-out work, designing. and
decorating.
There were some unusual pieces Of
work in the display. The people who
are in these art classes are begin.
ners, yet great deal Of the work
showed an artistic sense in the work.
err which is not often found Espe-
oially was this true in the pastel
work. where harmonious color comb-
nations were worked out in both still
life groups and landscapes which are
very pleasing The subjects in these
classes are still life or imagin-
airy scenes: no copy work was done.
The toys, too, were splendid examples
Of originality Dogs. birds. bears
and other animals, brightly colored
and marvelously jointed, stood in dis
play.
The display gave an example Of a
high standard of workmanship in the
simpler fields Of art; types Of work
which can easily be used in the rural
schools to deelop the constructive
and artistic instincts Of the childr&
as well as to give them. beautiful
finished articles. The display showed
careful thought and hard work on
the part Of the teacher.

G. u. LEWIS SCIENCE CLUB

The following questions were
asked by one of OR readers:
1. Will eats eyes shine in the
dark?
2. Will man fall from the third
story of building more quickly than
from the second?
3. Can you see sound rs IL passes
thru the air?
4. In the early morning blackbirds
fly from the southeast to the north
west Where 10 they come from?
where do they go? why do they pre-
fer to pass the night IN or' plac and
the day in another?
Ans No. l. A cats eyes will not
shine in the dark. A cats eyes can
only reflect light received from an
other source. In total darkness there
are no light rays striking the eyes.
Therefore. there can be no rejecting,
no shining.
Ans. No. =. A man is not so like
ly to fall from the third story as
from the second. Things are drawn
toward the center of the earth by a
force known as gravity, the same
kind of force by which a loadstone
draws pieces Of metal TO it. With
the earth as with the loadstone, the
I "a. k..N h. u. = .
the less the pull. A man on the
third story of building is farther
from the center of the earth than he
would be on the second story. Con-
sequently, the pull is less. and he is
less likely to fall.
Ans. No. g. You cannot Sound
is transmitted by the vibrations of
the molecules of the air. We all
know and agree with the verse "Who
has seen the wind Neither you nor
|. etc" Since we cannot see the air
and sound is simply a vibration OF
air-we cannot see sound.
Ans. No. 4. Blackbirds come north
in the spring and locate in a vicinity
from which they do not stir very far
until time TO go back south 10 the
fall. Your seeing them go over in
the morning and back in the evening
simply indicates that they have
roosting place southeast of you ana
feeding grounds northwest Of you.
They do not roost far away, nor do
they go very far TO feed. These di-
rections have nothing definitely to do
with it. BY chance. they roost n
that particular place and go else
where for food
