Peculiar EmanatiOnS.
THERE is a peculiar emanative sui

THERE is a peculiar emanative sub
stance which is obtained, like
radium and other radioactive sub
stances. from pitchblende. The sub
stance seems chemically allied to
cerium. The emanation has not great
penetration, for the apparent reason
that air absorbs it powerfully, reduc-
ing its intensity. Most investigators
are inclined to think that this emana-
tion is not a gas, but a peculiar sub
stance that gives rise to lumines-
cence. When the tube containing the
active substance is plunged into liquid
air the glass becomes luminous over
a certain area at some distance from
tho free surface of the liquid air.
The phenomenon is seen only at
fixed temperature OF the glass, which
is . little above the boiling point of
the liquid air. The emanation does
not color tho tube in which It is con-
tained. These facts prove that It is
distinct from that OF radium.

1.-THE Salvation Army taught its
great lesson of Americanism.on the fir
ing lines of France. 1t is carrying on
the same ideals during this trying per
iod of reconstruction. This is ac-
complished to a great degree by its
method of applying practical Christi
anty.' By extending helping hand in
illness, by providing food, clothing,
fuel and the innumerable other means
of helpfulness to stricken humanity,
regardless of race, creed or color, The
Salvation Army naturally draws to It

LUNCH CLUB WILL
VISIT HIGH SCHOOL

In celebration OF American Educa-
tion Week members of the Tuesday
Lunch Club will visit the high school
next Tuesday, when lunch will be
served by the Domestic Science class.
The members of the organization will
later repair to the auditorium of the
school, where an assembly program
will be rendered.
The invitation to visit the school was
presented Tuesday by City School Su-
perintendent Cannon, who also stated
that visitors would be welcome Friday.
December 8, at every room of the city
schools. He urged that all citizens
make it point to visit the schools on
that day and familiarize themselves
with the work.
Chief speaker at Tuesdays session
of the Lunch Club was Prof. Ira Rich
ardson, assistant director of the Ex-
tension Bureau of the University Of
Oregon, who made an appeal for equal
ization of educational opportunity for
the boys and girls of thickly populated
centers and those Of remote open coun-
try. Dr.. Richardson cited that ex-
penditures at the present time for ed
ucational work were but moderate
when compared with figures for other
costs. He stated that the American
bill for chewing gum last year was
S88. 900, 900. The bill for education was
10 times this item, he declared.
Education certainly ought to be
worth at least 10 times the benefits we
derive from chewing gum" said Prof.
Richardson.

Capt. Frostad, of the Salvation Army,
here from Portland arranging for a

organization's home service fund.
Capt. Frostad cited that the Army had
been we'll supported in the past by
Hood River citizens, although no corps
has been established here. He stated
that the Portland White Shield Home
was aided by the Portland Commun-
ity Chest. but that the fund so raised
was insufficient. Capt Frostad cited
that no case, wherever it might origin
ate in the state, was ever turned down
by the Salvation Army.

apparent Tuesday morning when FIR
forests of high points surrounding the
valley revealed themselves, in the first
sunshine of 10 days, in magnificent
garment of ice. The climatic condi-

tion of about ], 900 feet The outlines
of the frozen forests were as definite
as if laid out with engineers instru-
ments. The phenomenon resulting
from the freak of the elements gave
the section one of the most gorgeous
sights ever witnessed here.
