DR.. JONES SAYS
SCIENCE MAKES
GERMANY GREAT


What made Germany one Of the
foremost, il not the foremost, pow
or in the world before the great
war was the importance which the
Hohensolleren government placed
upon science, said DIR. Hilton Ira
Jones in his lecture on scientific
truths at Augustana college last
evening. DR.. Jones pointed out
that In Germany there were four or
I'VE leading scientists Of the coun-
try retained at all times by govern
ment officials to render advice, and
this advice was taken. The reason.
DR.. Jones said, that peoples OF
other countries thought that Ger
many was the leading. country n
science in the world was not be-
cause Of the fact that German sci
entists made the most discoveries,
nor because the ability of her SCI
entific men was SO far superior to
that Of scientists in other coIn-
tries, but it was because of the I'M
portance which that government
placed upon the science. The Unit
ed States stands foremost in sci
entific inventions and has held that
position for the last hundred years,
but not until this due importance
is placed by the government upon
science will the United States gain
her rightful standing as scientific
country.
Not one-tenth of the worlds
available energy is consumed. stat
ed DR.. Jones. He said that the peo-
pie Of coming generations will look
upon the present people as spend
thrifts of the worlds natural pro-
ducts. In emphasizing this fact he
pointed out that scarcely tenth Of
the available energy supplied by
the fuel used in the running of a
modern locomotive is consumed.
Truths illustrated.
A few interesting scientific truths
illustrated by the noted scientist
included the explanation of how a
violet light materially aids growth
of plants and vegetables, how by
singing into piano the voice OF
the singer will be reproduced by
the vibration, currents striking
upon the strings particularly
adapted to that vibration, and how
it is that a few volts of electricity
can scarcely be felt, 1000 volts will
kill instantly, and 100000 volts
cause absolutely NO feeling mol
have the least effect upon the per.
son taking the voltage. In this last
example DR.. Jones explained that
every nerve has its nerve limit and
when this limit is surpassed, then
there is no sensation. One of his
listeners was brave enough to try
the test, and he is living today. The
intensity of sound and light act in
the same manner, there being the
same nerve limit in these and whcr
this is passed there is no sensa.

"SHIFTERS" ON

Gains in Delaware While
Losing Ground in Other
States
MOVEMENT SAID
TO BE POPULAR

The "Shifters" have come from
New York to Wilmington, and new
members are being added each day
In the schools and colleges OF the
city. In the city where the organ
lzation was begun fiappers and high
school boys have discovered that It
is simply a "swindle" and an agency
for promoting promlscuous fiirta-
tions and "petting parties" and the
fad is fast dying out.
Here. however. It Is an innovation
and II is reported that st is popular
in the schools and colleges The
number OF happers and young men
wearing the insignia. a small brass
paper clip. Is growing rapidly. for
since each person Is "stung" at the
initiation. he or she goes out and
finds someone else who wishes to be
admitted to the society.
The purpose OF the society Is two
fold. First, the person initiated Is
charged by the "Shifter" performing
the initiation as much as the Shifter
thinks can be extracted. Then the
new member Is told that he can go
out and sitting" as many more per-
sons as ne wishes and charge them
what he likes.
Second, any member is privileged

The motto OF the society is grab

fee takes the form of cash: some
times. when the initiator Is a girl,
flowers, candy or silk stockings
The original purposes OF the
"Shlfters" It Is said. was to provide
pocket money for a group OF school
girls, and as a joke on those gullible
enough TO become mem bers. As
each 'shifter" got others into the
cult, however, It rapidly outgrew its
bounds, until II was finally repudlat-
ed by the founders.
In Wilmington. as in other cities
whore II has found encouragement.
there are no officers or bylaws. ex-
cept the few mentioned. and no

"Shifters' is such that Il quickly ex-
hausts the new field into which It

LURES TO PARKS

Due TO the delightful spring
weather the parks OF the city were
thronged yesterday by hundreds Of
visitors. Roads also were hlled with
motorists; many persons enjoyed
trolley rides into the country, and
the Wilson Line boats carried large
numbers Of passengers.
AT the Municipal Zoo. in North
Brandywine Park, the animals ap-
peared delighted to welcome their
visitors. Teddy. the black hear;
Buster. the cinnamon bear, and the
Siberian grizzly enjoyed good feed
on peanuts and other morsels tossed
them by the youngsters who crowded
around their enclosures.
The Siberian grizzly, burly,
sandy-haired fellow who. It is said
once Travelled with a "hurdy-gurdy." 3"
was in playful mood and took great
delight In showing his companion,
Czarina. OF smaller stature. over the
brink into the concrete bathing pool.

enjoying the warm sunshine, and
about ten gray squirrels chattered
and skipped, seemingly unafraid OF
the multitude OF park visitors. occa-
sionally approaching close enough
TO accept peanuts from the hand.
