One night last week l ask ed her to go to a show and she sug- gested asking my chum for girl friend of hers. After the show the girl decided she would prefer my much attention to him that he took her instead of the friend. It makes no difference to the other girl, but hurt my feelings very much.
 The matter ended by my chum talk ing her home and I took the other girl I am not blaming my chum at all. This girl has found that my chum will not go with her after her con- duct toward me and so she has apo1o- gized to me and evidently wants me to go with her again.
 Would you advise me to go?
 w. A. D. The girl is selfish and thoughtless. If she had a naturally kind heart she would have realized that the situation would be humiliating to you and probably to all concerned. I would advise you to teach her a lesson and find another girl who will enjoy your company enough not to desert you for some one else when you have taken her somewhere.

FAIRCHILD CRITICIZES THE
NATURALISTIC LITERATURE
Ii Denies Emotional Expression, He
Tells Gamma Phi Psi-Re-
action Is Coming.

Prof. A. III. X. Fairchild criticized the
naturalistic novel last night at his home
in a talk before Gamma Phi Psi, locaI
chapter of Sigma Epsilon. national liter
AIRY fraternity. He said among Other
things, that il denies the emotional re.
action that must accompany every fact
denies the spiritual part of man and
makes man, if the theory on which it is
based is carried TO its logical perfection,
absolutely subject TO his environment
and hcredi;y. Its only excuse for being
is that it shows, as no other type of lit.
eraiure can, the great disparity between
mans equipment and the demands made
upon him by life.
Professor Fairchild defined the natur.
alisiic novel as science applied to liter
AZURE. 1t aims at truth to nature in laws
rather than details. differing in this re-
spect from the realistic literature, he
said. The naturalistic literature had rs
beginning with Wordsworth. and was
characterized by a new interest in ma.
ture, animals, outdoor life, the country
as opposed 20 the city, and children.

irsi naturalistic novel. which type of ex.

of all that science has given US,

b. E. Miller Explains the Working
of Such Phenomenon
Scientifically.

The students in the general science
classes at the Columbia High School
won't have to wait until they get out o.

continue TO believe, as 90 many do, tia
. mirage is merely a product of the imay
inatiOn.
b. f. Miller, the general science tcacl;
er in the high school. gave a practical
demonstration of a mirage to his classes
not long ago. The materials used were
pieces of plate glass four inches square
and placed eighteen inches apart. These
squares Of glass were arranged in parnl
lei lines seven inches high, and the lines
were made with supporting stands anf
meter sticks. A lighted candle was pu!
on the table at one end of the lines and
books were placed between the candle
and the squares of glass so the candle
could not be seen from the other end
Of the parallel lines.
But when one looked in the last square
of glass there were the flames of two
candles and insead Of being on the
table they seemed to be almost under
the table and near the floor. And she

explaining the phenomenon.
This is a practical demonstration OF
a mirage and the way light is diffused
and broken up" he continued. 'Or
a desert, air forms in layers Of different;
densities and the object is reflected
back and forth until it finally strikes. che
eye. A person on the desert really sees

Ralph lnce, has a good cast, including
Harry 7. Morey. Matt Moore, Kathlyn
Williams and Grace Valentine. The
theme deals with complex family affairs
which are brought about by the sudden
inheritance of wealth. When the picture
opens we see Frederick Osborn. a strug-
Cling longshoresman. the heir of a great
fortune. Sudden riches turn the head Of
Frances, his wife; she Graves for travel
in fast company. Frederick INDUCES
her without restraint, cerfering his mind
on business and his affections on their
daughter, Lucy, who is in love with
Arthur Lynn. Mrs. Osborn is away when
Lynn asks for Lucy's hand. Frederick
hears that she is in bad company and
wires her TO come home. When she ar
rives she is accompanied by Cordelia
and Jack Wilson whom she believes her
friends, but who are a pair Of black
mailers and adventures. 1t is not until
the Wilson's try to create a breach be-
tween Osborn and his wife and Lynn
and Lucy that the Osborns realize the
value of a peaceful home life.
