Birmingham Caskets
 Popular at Home
 And All OUer South

Birmingham Casket company is am other of those local factories which have no complaint to make against their own city with respect to pat ronage. We sell to every funeral director in the district" said an of ficial of the company. There is no kick in that quarter. We make the stuff and we have found that when you offer the Birmingham trade goods worth while, the Birmingham trade will buy the home product"
 This concern manufactures every thing In the wooden casket line and undertakers supplies of all kinds. It makes a speciality of funeral dry goods. Funeral vestments made in this factory are minus the rigidity of the usual burial garment. They are made so as to present the dead as though still in the home or in street attire. This takes from the gloom mess of the old funeral garment. The company also makes all kinds of cas- ket trimmings.
 Shipments are made as far north as Cincinnati and through all the South ern states. Considerate business is done in Virginia and in Washington city. Especially large business Is done in Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee and many shipments are made to Texas points. Largest business is done in Alabama, showing that home people will buy a good home article.
 Business is good. and we have no complaint on that score" said an of ficial of the company.

Maxine Diamonds

1t was Majorna, an Italian chemist.
who succeeded in producing minute
artificial diamonds in a manner diff
fering, in one important particular.
from the method of Molssan. the
French chemist. whose operations in
this direction were a sensation at the
time.
MaJorna, heats a piece of carbon
with the electric arc. and then sub
mlts 1t to sudden pressure devel-
oped by explosions driving a piston.
and amounts to 5000 times the ordin-
airy pressure of the atmosphere. In
the mass of carbon thus treated he
finds microscopic crystals which ans
wer the tests for diamonds. Mols-
sans method was first to dissolve
carbon in molten iron and then allow
the iron to cool under great pressure.
The Italian chemists experiments in
dicate that great heat and great pres
sure are sufficient to transform ordi-
nary carbon into the diamond form
without a metallic solvent.-Wasb-

time to talk to the students. 1t is
necessary that the student pursue al
least one year OF the subject for

The National Fraternity has made
a fine start and plans to add to its

Professor Wright came to Colby
from the University of Maine where
he addressed a group of students on

was very possible tNal a chapter
would be established there shortly.
About 10 students met with Profess
sor Wright while he was at Colby

him. A meeting of those who were
interested was held Thursday night
but nothing definite was decided and
another meeting will be held the

What Causes EreekIes?

Freckles are caused by natures eff
fort to give protecting covering to
certain nerve ends which have ten
dency to be too much affected by the
actinic or chemical rays OF the sun
The skin of the body, itself compare
lively thin, is composed of many lay
crs, and underneath several of these
layers is a layer of cells which con-
tain coloring matter. 1t is the kind
of coloring matter in these cells
which determine whether you are
blonde or brunette.
Whatever is your natural color
however. is increased or diminished
in shade as you live in different CHI
mates. A brunette living in the trop-
les will be of darker shade than
one living in colder climate. This
colorinS matter is a part of natures
plan to place a curtain of protection
from too much sunlight That it is
the light that causes it is shown by
the fact that men who fire" large
furnaces do not tan or freckle
through their work. These light rays
from the sun are called actinic rays
and have chemical effect on the
skin.
A thorough coat of tan is no more
than curtain of freckles spread
over the entire exposed portion OF
skin. The freckle is produced be-
cause certain portions of particularly
susceptible skin have been acted on
more strongly than others. In othe,
words, cells at the places where
freckles appear have been stimulated
more than the surrounding cells and
nave placed darker and thicker cur.
tain over that spot. When we come
to the reason why freckles appear a,
certain spots, we find that wherever
there is a ffeckle there is an end Of
one Of our little nerves Of touch and
that this end of the nerve is more
sensitive to the chemical rays of the
sun than others.

Small Birds Falcons Prey

1t was reported recently that in the
eyrie of a peregrine, vicious bird,
the rings of % racing pigeons were
found. The peregrine falcon often
kills birds which are unfortunate
enough to cross it's path. Peewits
and other birds that frequent the
coast are relentlessly pursued by this
hawk, and another prey is the golden
plover, but this bird affords the hawk
a good chase before it is caught.
The peregrine catches its prey by
protruding its strong legs and talons
to their fullest extent when within a
few feet of the quarry. Then for .
moment it's wings are almost closed
and the next the prize is seized and
carried off. If. however. the object is
too heavy to be lifted from the
ground it is forced along sometimes
a hundred yards on the ground, and
killed and devoured on the spot. The
rest of the peregrine is usually placed
on the face of some precipitous Gill;
resting on a shelf of rock or tuft Of
vegetation. and consists of mass Of
sticks and coarse stems Of grass and
ferns

Black Sheen

The appearance of black lambs in
q flock made up entirely of white
sheep has been for ages and is still
cause for wonder and the basis of
superstitions. But the study of the
laws of breeding and heredity has ex-
planned the reasons for the sporadic
appearance of these off color speci-
mems, according to a bulletin of the
United states Department of Agricul-
ture.
Feeding and management Of sheep
have nothing to do with the appear
ance of black lambs. The black color
is heredity even though it may be
transmitted by ordinary white sheep.
The black color lin such case is
what is called a recessive character.
White sheep which transmit this
character at all transmit black in so
per cent. of their reproductive cells
and white in the remaining so per
cent. Thus, such white sheep mated
with acks-which can only trans
nit black-produce so per cent black
lambs and so per cent white. All of
these white lambs can transmit black.
White sheep which transmit only
whites, mated with blacks, produce
only white lambs, but all of these
lambs can transmit black When
both eve and ram are white. but both
transmit black, about IS per cent. of
the lambs are black, so per cent. are
white which transmit black, while the
remaining a5 per cent. are true
breeding whites.

COLBY COLLEGE,:
Many Colby Students
Interested, Fraternity
Prospecfiye Teachers

The Department of Education at
Colby college, which is under the dl-
rection of Prof. Savides, together
with a group of the students who are
interested in the profession of teach
Ing. are considering the forming Of
a new society for prospective teach
ers. Prof Arthur Wright, who is at
the head of the department of edu-
cation at Dartmouth college, met
with this group and explained the
proposition fully to them.
The purpose of such a fraternity
would be 70 interest as many youn =
men of ability as possible in the
teaching profession. The fraternity
is national organization which was
formed two years ago and has -four
ished ever since it's founding. The
central government is the National
Council, the president at this time
being the professor of education 1T
Cornell. There is already in exist
eDce an honorary national teachers
fraternity which was organized near
ly twelve years ago and has chapters
ut many of the leading universities
| in the country, but as only graduate
students who are studying education
may belong. it would be impossible
TO establish chapter at Colby.
The meetings which this fraternity
have. among other things. addresses
by men of knowledge and learning

phases of education would make
their talks very interesting to all
who aim to take Up the profession

BOwdOin Lineup
Uncertain on Eve
of Game with Bates

Especial to the kenrebec JournaD
Brunswick, Me, Oct. 27-On the
eve of the football game between
Bowdoin and Bates, which will be
played on Garcelon field, Lewiston.
tomorrow afternoon, Coach Fred
Ostergren is undecided just how the
Bowdoin team will line up for the
tracas. Parsons is sure to start the
game at center. but he is the only
man on the squad who is sire of his
position. Tucker and Townsend will
play guards and Tootell and Marson,
viii cover the tackle positions, but
until the team is in uniform and
ready to run onto the field. Coach
Ostergren plans to keep them in
dark as to which side of the line
they will play on. Ted Gibbons is
sure Of starting at either right or
left end. but the other side of the
line is in doubt. Charles Hildreth.
who has been out of the scrimmages
all the week with a minor injury. was
pronounced to be in fit condition to
play. by Trainer Jack Magce this
evening. and he may start, but will
more likely be held in reserve. His
twin brother. Horace. will probably
begin the game at end, if Jones is not
selected.
In the backfcld the greatest I'M
certainty exists over the position at
quarter back. This afternoon Joe
Smith. Captain Norman Miller. Al
Morrcll and Bob Phillips, were all
given a try at the position, one of
these four will be selected, with Joe
Smith the most likely candidate.
If he plays quarter the team will
probably start with Captain Miller,
Aided and Meacham in the back
field, while if Al Morrcll or Phillips
begins the game at quarter. Smith
will be at half back in place OF
Mcacham, in case Captain Miller is
chosen to play the ball. the back
field will consist of Al Morrell, Joe
Smith and Aldrcd.
Plenty of enthusiasm over the
game was shown this evening at
Memorial hall, when the undergrad
yates held a rally, which was pres
ided over by George f. Hull '23. of
Colinsville, Conn, with music by the
college orchestra. .;ne speakers We're
