also killing character and ones
own Showing off the old goods"
on an unsuspecting customer is a
far worse cheat to yourself, as 1t
but adds so much to the "shoddy
stuff within you. Putting up
bluff to the trusting instructor
proves to be the worst cheating of
all. Are you foolish enough to be-
lieve that the lesson is being
learned for the teacher and not for
yourself?
But the worst phase of all this
bluffing and pretending, my boy,
is that 1t soon grows into a habit.
You are in danger of becoming a
chronic cheat You are likely to
look for the cheap, tricky or super
fetal way Of doing things, and,
finally, Of transacting business.
Can you afford the price of such
folly7
For more years than you have
lived 1 have watched the fraudu-
lent pretender come and go
especially go. Common people soon
get his measure. He goes down
to a low level in public opinion
and Is so rated in both public re-
spect and business responsibility.
To do the square thing when
you are not watched; to give more
of service when the boss is alb
sent; to prepare your lessons well,
without pressure from teacher or
parent and to recite them with
unefIing fidelity; to acquire the
habit of honesty of purpose and
integrity of conduct-these are
some of the seemingly little things
which will finally bring you a
large reward in money and a
larger one in satisfaction.
In short, every time you cheat
another one you cheat yourself
twice-out of a certain amount of
money and a certain amount OF
character. Can you afford the
price7 Inside honesty is, your
safest investment here.

structed, passes in all directions
from the sounding body. The
calculated velocity Of sound in
the air, when the temperature is
at freezing point, is 1853 feet
per second. When the tempera-
ture increases, sound travels
faster, and the rate has been cal
culated at a little more than one
foot per second for each degree
of rise in Fahrenheit's Their
mometer. Contrary to popular
belief, sound travels faster in
summer than in winter, and in
warm, than in cold climates. 1t
might be thought that sound
would travel more slowly through
a dense atmosphere, but the elias
ITCHY increases as rapidly as the
density, and, therefore, the veloc-
ity Of sound is not affected by
varying density. The velocity of
sound in water, when at the
greatest density. is 4707.4 per
second. The experiments by
which this velocity was determin.
ed were made by M. Callaodn,
in 1925. across the Lake OF
Geneva, from Role to Thonon,
a distance of about nine miles.
Water. therefore, transmits sound
four times as fast as air does.

FROCKS FOR
THE DANCE
BY Rita Stuyvesant--

TINE flapper holds an impor-
tant place in the social
world today, and one has
only to see the dainty frocks that
the Juvenile shops are showing to
know how true this Is.
Can you imagine anything more
sweet or girlish than party
frock of tca-rose taffeta all cut in
rose petals and trimmed with sill
yer grapes? One frock Of this
kind creates n snug little bodice,
sleeveless and cut not too low
either front or back. and attaches
II to a full fouffant skirt a little
longer than We are accustomed to
see them.
- The skirt Is made on a net
foundation and shows six tiers all
scalloped and picoted to effect rose
petals. The silver grapes were at
tached at the left side and hung
almost to the knees.
With this costume silver sandals
and hosiery Of tea-rose shade were
worn.
The vivid brunette will look her
prettiest in a frock of flame chif-
fon with scant sleeveless bodice
and Jagged skirt. A girdle Of silver
ribbon with ends that hang below
the skirt will lend cachet. Red
slippers and stockings may be
worn, or silver II preferred.
The pale and pastel tints are
appropriate for the jeunne file
and in the new silver taffeta one
might choose orchid, lettuce green,
peach, blue, flesh or maize and
know that she Is quite correct.
An attractive frock was worms
a prep" dance and was fashioned
of peach taffeta. 1t showed a quaint
fitted bodice with deep square neck,
and was worn with a very full
skirt Of the material, held out by
six heavy cordings at the bottom.
An insertion of silver lace was used
just below the hips, and a narrow
black velvet girdle with two long
ends weighted by old-time flowers
was the only trimming. A double
band Of silver trimming was worn
in the hair and silver sandals with
peach chiffon hosiery completed
the costume.
