ing from down to up, though you
always continued to travel in q
straight line Up, then, begins
at the earth's center and points
every way from there.
Down is a creation of the force
of gravity. If the earth had no
gravitational attraction the idea
of down would not exist-nor the
idea of up, either, since up is only
the negative Of down. If a man
could drop through the earth feet
first, with no air or other resist
ance to interfere, he would, no
doubt, seem to himself to be con-
tinually falling, though at first
with accelerated and afterward
having passed the center) with re-
tarded velocity, but to another
man seeing him come to the eartn's
surface, he would not appear to
be falling, but rising.
However, astronomers have,
when they choose to employ it,
another system of up and down,
which is not based on the center
Of the earth. Instead of being
geocentric, it is heliocentric, /. O.,
it is referred to the center OF the
sun. In this astronomical sense,
up means away from the suns
center, and down" means toward
the suns center, and this down
and up are created by the solar
gravitation.
Sun Sets Mark.
If the earth could answer Ques-
lions, and If it were asked what
direction is down, it would reply:
"Down there toward the sun.
Can't you see for yourself what ex-
ertions I have to make to keep
from falling into it? Get out of my
way! If slow up I drop"
But the earth's idea Of up would
correspond, in a general way, with
ours, for it would be based upon
the direction of the stars, on the
side away from the sun. The con-
stellations that are overhead for
us at midnight are simultaneously
overhead for the earth.

Hybrid Tomato

rrONOLULU-A hybrid toma-
to, proof against singing
IL by the Mediterranean fruit
fly, has recently been developed
by the staff Of the Federal agri-
cultural experiment station In
Honolulu. The hybrid Is pro-
duced by crossing the common to-
mato with the native Hawaiian
tomato and is almost perfectly
round. 1t averages the size of
a billiard ball. Prof. John M.
Westgate, director Of the station
says the smallness OF the fruit
seems partly responsible for its
immunity, the curvature being
such that the singer slides off.

KHAN POW WOW
DRAWS LARGE CROWD
AT CRYSTAL LAKE

Thousands of "one hundred eleeni
Americans" gathered at Crystal Lake
park Saturday afternoon and night
in a grand pow woW most uf which
was open TO the public.
Early in the afternoon automobiles
began TO gather from all parts of the
state, indicating the widespread en-
thusiasm Of the khan members. Bands
accompanied several delegations and
led the parade which started at CTys.
tai Lake park and moved through the
business districts Of Champaign and
Urbana seven blocks long.
There was no public display OF
criticism. A few of the ineligible
gathered in secluded places and told
what they would do IL a hooded klans-
man caught them, emphasizing their
remarks in up-to-date Kings English.
But no hooded klansman came to put
the threats to test. One critic called
attention TO the klan flag flying at
full mast and remembered that the
president and governor had asked that
flags remain at half-mast for thirty
days following the death Of the late
president. Looking about for some
thing inconsistent in the "one-hundred
percent American" slogan the critic
found a flag on building occupied
by an Ineligible Greek the only flag
in the city flying at half mast.
Now who do you think Is the 'l0O
percent American ?" he challenged.
An old timer who doesn't think
well Of the Klan, though he professed
to be a Protestant said, "the slogan
is all wrong boys. The only hundred
percent Americans are Indians"

LOCAL MARkSMEN
WIN HONORS
LAST w K L X

Sergeant T. b. Snyder, of Company
b., won the right last Sunday in the
shoot at Camp Logan, TO compete fof
honors in the national shoot at Camp
Perry, Ohio, in September, being one
of the ten best marksmen in the
Illinois National Guard. Corporal
Whiznand, of Company b, also won
same honors.
Mark Arie wears crown as king
Of the trap shooting empire, winning
the grand American handicap at the
South Shore Country Club at Chi
eago. Saturday, with 90 breaks.
Previously Arie carried OIL the
trophies in the singles target cham
pionship meet in 1917 and the double
target event in 1872.
Competition was keen to the last
shot, Frank Hughes breaking 95 of
the first 81 and then losing three In
a string which left him two shots be-
hind the winner. Hughes is South
Dakota top-notcher and one Of the
most dazzling marksmen in the coun-
try. The defeat of Hughes shows the
class in which the local man travels.
A close third was Phil Miller who
dropped to 81. In the all around
events Miller finished second bringing
down 953 in 1000 attempts, Arie's
score being 957.
Arie has been after the bacon for
eighteen years and the win brought
him TO the goal of a lifetime.

NEW VAUDEVILLE
ACTS NEEDED TO
ATTRACT CROWDS

After a complete re-decoration the
Park theatre will soon be opened for
the season. The Park has been closed
for the past two months while the
building has been given complete
renovation.
The 0rpheum. which has been
closed since the school term at the
University ended, opened this week
with Rex Beach's play "The Spoilers
The theatre this year will be managed
by b. +. Moore, formerly of the
Capitol Theatre at Clinton, Ind.
The Orpheum has not definitely an
nounced its policy for the entire win
ter, but after few weeks Of motion
pictures part of each week during
the winter months will probably be
devoted to vaudeville. If the crowds
warrant the theatre may be entirely
given over to Vaudeville programs.
Theatre managers have encountered
difficulty in providing vaudeville acts
that are not stale. Actors appear 10
have their limitations like other pro-
fessiOns. Recently there has been
an obvious lack of creative ability ON
the vaudeville stage and this has
served to cause wearing down of the
acts to a stereotype form.
The run ON suggestive Jokes has
had its day. Vaudeville actors will
eventually understand that this type
of entertainment no longer attracts
the general public, but on the contrary
tends to repell those who think well
of themselves.
Vaudeville attractions may be inn
mensely improved by a few high
grade wrestling exhibitions and box
ing bouts, lasting no longer than the
average skit. These may be put on
by either men or women. This is an
age when athletics play prominent
part in entertainment, and the athlet-
les that have been more or less dis
credited by a class who does not un-
derstand the finer points, may be
greatly improved and placed in their
proper light on the vaudeville stage.

YOUNG WOMAN

Chicago and convicted ON charge of

LABOR SEEKS
STATE MEETING
IN TWIN CITIES

The Twin City Federation of Labor
will not hold celebration on Labor
Day this year as has been the custom
in previous years.
Interest of the organization now
eenters in securing the next state
meeting of the Federation in the Twin
Cities. If successful in their plans
extensive preparations for the event
will have to be made, and will require
considerable time and expense.
Officers of the organization have
thought it best to forego making
plans for a celebration and to devote
their time and money in drawing a
large crowd to the Twin Cities, in
case the state committee feels dis
posed to accept the invitation.
Members of the Federation and
their families will have their holiday
as usual on Labor Day.

WALTER HIRES
COMEDY STAR
AT VIRGINIA

Walter Hires, comedy star, who
rivals Fatty Arbuckle at his best as
an entertainer, spent three days last
week in Champaign, the guest Of the
Virginia thertre management.
During intermissioDs between reels
the comedian entertained the crowds
who gathered more to hear him than
to see his play, Sixty Cents an
Hour"
He was evidently sincere in his pro
fuse compliments of Champaign and
the University, and equally sincere
in his jokes about the city building.
He didn't say it was an eye-sore, but
he left that impression.
The monumental joke of Champaign
is the city hall, but in the minds of
progressive citizens 1t is growing
stale.

the men decided To wait until the
arrival Of J. l.. Johnson TO enter nego-

new wage scale is retroactive TO Aug

with the wage committee he had
