Moon Shadow
By Garrett p. Serviss

Here is a question from a Phila-
delphia reader. which suggests a new
way of looking at the cause Of
the phases of the moon:
"In a total eclipse of the srn,
is the side of the moon toward US
that usually seen, or the so-call.d
dark side"
1t is the side usually SEEN"
for the reason that the opposite
side of the moon is never turned
toward the earth. The side turned
earthward is dark during an eclipse
of the sun simply because it is
buried in the lunar night, the sun
light being then on the face of the
moon, which is always turned away
from US.
The moon turns on its axis. in
the same direction in which it
travels around the earth, but this
rotation is so slow that, on the
whole, it precisely comedies with
the revolution around the earth.
The rotation on its axis being per
formed in the same time as the
revolution in its orbit, it follows
that the same side Of the moon is
always toward the earth.
Stretching away from the moon,
no matter where it may be in It's
orbit. we see its great shadow ban
ner flung out in space to an aver
age distance Of about 232, 900 miles.
When this touches the earth, as
may happen at Full Moon" we
have a total eclipse of the sun.
Where the point of the shadow
sweeps over the earth we have a
little bit of lunar night, for it is
the base Of this shadow that CON
stitutes night on the moon.
When the shadow simply
stretches away through empty space
we do not see it from the earth,
though it is there all the same, as
would be instantly evident if some
visible object should pass into it.
A shadow in itself is nothing. 1t
in no way obscures the light Of the
stars passing through it.
OF course, the earth, too, is
constantly attended by a shadow,
producing our night, and when this
shadow covers the moon, as it may
do at Full Moon" there occurs a
total lunar eclipse.
Now, as TO the moons phases, re-
mark that the lunar shadow slip
ping around the lunar globe as it
slowly turns on its axis in journey
ing around the earth. begins by hid
ing the whole earthward face Of the
moon, at New Moon" hides only
half of it at the Quarters, and
leaves it fully exposed in the sun
light al Full moon"

1t used TO be thought that most
skin diseases were due to some sort
of local irritation or disturbance.
This view is not held at present. 1t
is the usual Practice now to seek
a remote cause for the symptoms.
For instance, eczema and hives
are not produced by something act
ing at the seat Of the trouble. They
are due, in most instances certainly,
to some disturbance in the digestive
tract-the stomach or intestines.
We hear a lot these days about
foreign proteins" and their pois-
onous effects upon the human sys-
TEN.
There is an old saying, "what
is one mans meat is another mans
poison" Cheese and other milk
products are the finest kind Of food
to most persons. But, strange to
say, they are almost poisonous to
others. / know a girl whose skin
would break out within an hour
with hundreds of giant hives if she
took a single drop Of cream.
When an article which is normal
ly an acceptable food to nine hun
dred and ninety-nine persons, is
found to be harmful to the thous-
andth man, it is because it is a
substance capable Of causing what
the scientists call "anaphylaxis" or
"allergy." Instead Of becoming ac-
customed to the given food, the sys-
TEN becomes less and less tolerant
Of it. Such foods are invariably
protein foods and because they are
not accepted by the body, they are
called foreign proteins."
Among such foods are the white
of egg, oatmeal and other cereals,
shell fish, nuts, certain vegetables
and fruits, strawberries particular
ly, and fish.
Sometimes cooking destroys the
poisonous effect. For instance,
cooked strawberries are rarely irri-
tating. although cooking may not
overcome the bad effect Of the sus-
pected vegetable.
Among the diseases which appear
to be caused by foreign protein,
is numbered psoriasis. 1t is a dis
agreeable and unsightly ailment and

Canned Foods Week
In Texas

n EFERENCES to can-openers are usually intended
II as witticisms refectng upon the culinary ability
or inclination of the housewife. But the wise
cook smiles when she hears the can-opener derded She
knows that takes the place of the key the cellar and
the smokehouse of yesteryear She knows that it gives
her to wide variety of ingredients for her cook
ing without regard to the season. All good cooks use
-can-openers. All poor cooks must use them.
Scanned Foods Week." although designated to pro-
mote of the can-opener, should have deeper sig
nficance than that for Texans 1t should remind that
the Southwest offers inviting field to the canning
industry.
In The Light of last Sunday it reported that
large canning plant is to be erected at Ednburg within
the future Other projects of similar nature
reported from time to time.
1t is evident that the during which the surplus
of production shipped into the North and East
canned and shipped back into the Southwest is closing
Once the practice had an economic Justification for

and of animal products with the exception of beef

fuels ample supply of cheap and easily trained labor
and rapidly increasing supply of products

for the establishment of canning plants in the South

Life's Hurdle
By L. E. Bisch

1t is a commendable thing to pos
sess virtues, but when they are
overdone they become vices!
If the possession Of a virtue is
going to make its owner narrow
minded, intolerant and priggish,
then we have the anomoly Of some
thing essentially good-a virtue
evolutionizing into something es-
sentially bad-a vice!
, 1t is a virtue to speak the truth,
for example.
But would anyone consider it
display of virtue if physician told
a patient the tremendous serious
ness Of his illness if, by so doing,
the shock might make the patient
worse. and jeopardize his life?
Realizing the enormous influence
Of mind over body, would not the
exercise Of virtue in such an in
stance defeat its own purpose-to
save the patient?
Undoubtedly a virtue intends to
do good.
If a virtue ceases to do good-or
docs harm-then it becomes some
thing far different from what was
intended.
Now then, the possessor Of a vir-
tue often feels so proud about it
that he tends to hold in scorn all
those who do not think and feel as
he does.'
Chastity is undoubtedly virtue.
But il the possession of chastity
makes one feel so superior that one
does not feel inclined to lend a
helping hand TO those who fall by
the wayside, then we have a con-
crete example Of a virtue bccom-
ing harmful because it is overdone.
We don't all have the same OPP
portunities Of starting on life's ca
reer with the best possible equip
ment.
People who live in the slums
should not be held to inexorable
standards like those more fortunate
in hereditary, home and environ
mental factors.
1 don't mean to imply that the
bars should necessarily be lowered
for the unfortunate. They should
be raised up. if possible, to the
same standards of excellent as re-
CARDS the cardinal virtues as well as
everything else.
Only we cannot help others
make them more virtuous-if we
allow our good points to blind as.
Always be tolerant and under
standing!
Let your virtues help others as
well as yourself

Laughing at 1t
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

mo man hates him at whom he
can laugh" wrote Ben Jonson in
the sixteenth century.
We hate that which we fear and
we never fear what we are able to
laugh at.
When we laugh at something it is
indicative of feeling of superior
ity.
The reason we laugh at the farm
er who buys the gold brick in the
vaudeville show is because we feel
that We would know better. We feel
superior to him.
When someone makes mistakes we
have outgrown we can laugh in
diligently because we know better
and feel superior.
The same is true in the happen
ings of life. Those things you are
able to laugh. at are the ones over
which you feel superior, and those
at which you are unable to laugh
you fear.
1t is when you are able to laugh
at superstition and the bugaboos OF

Former Commissioner Of Health New York City.

if you happen to be the victim, you
will gladly deny yourself a favorite
food if you become convinced 1t is
responsible for your misery.
Psoriasis is a chronic disease OF
the skin, showing itself by the de-
velopment of dry, red patches, round
or oval in shape. These patches
are covered with scales which may
be brushed away.
The patches grow in size and in
crease in number. The elbows and
knees, the back and shoulders--any
part of the body may be involved.
There are many opinions as to the
cause, but you cannot afford to
overlook the possibility that a for
cign protein may be responsible.
You must carefully study your diet
and by patiently excluding one after
another of the foods you take reg
ularly, you may discover that one
particular article of diet is the Of
Tending agent.
There is valuable treatment to be
given, but the first step is to re-
move the cause if it can be discov-
cred.

Self-GOVernment

A TTACKS on democracy sometimes fervid as
~ in Russia and Italy just now, and sometimes they
= are -winded Once in a while a political
philosophy is crowded into comfortable space, and we
think that apostle of reaction Hae Belloc does it in
these lines:
"The accursed power which stands on Privilege.
(And goes with Women and Champagne and Bridge
Broke-and Democracy resumed her reign:
(Which goes with Bridge and Women and Cham
pagne.")
The theory that nothing changes under democracy
not quite true but it is not the business of hostile
epgram to be true Belloc got what he wanted to say
into four lines, which is something But it is not
advance in domestic morals that democracy promises.
It's premise is that principles and methods chosen
by all the people will probably be just and certain
ly will be stable than system made and supported
by small crowd whose ancestors centuries ago
happened TO be robber barons, by small crowd
whose talents have enabled them their fathers to
acquire and cling onto medium of exchange than
could possibly have been earned by Jesus, Mazzini,
Rousseau, or Abraham Lincoln.

ignorance that you demonstrate you
have advanced beyond them.
When you accept them with deadly
seriousness you demonstrate that you
are their dupe.
If you can laugh at personal
sights and hurts it shows you are
superior to them.
When you can laugh at your own
embarrassing predicaments it shows
that you are bigger than they are
If you can laugh at the sudden
heaping UP of bad luck it shows you
are still unvanquished.
1t is when you can laugh ~ your
self, at your own mistakes and fol-
bles, that you demonstrate you have
sanity and balance.
1t is when you can no longer
laugh at life that worry begins to
consume your heart.
As long as you can laugh at your

easements, you show that you are

"White Elephant"

To have a white elephant on ones
hands, as the saying goes, is to be
burdened with something that 10
great care and expense, or source
Of trouble. and which cannot be
easily gotten rid Of.
The origin Of the term is rather
obscure. One account says that
travelling circus proprietor, to out
do rival, advertised that he had
the only white elephant in cap
tivity. The wilderness of this ele-
plant was due. of course, to liberal
applications of whitewash. Nat
urally, the wilderness did not last
well, and the bother and expense
were great.
In Siam the white or albino ele-
phant is, or was, held in great re-
spect, and keeping one was very
expensive.

Child Psychology

r the Education Week, made the subject of procla-
| nation by the President, brings the parent a
little to the school, then the days from No
vember 16 to November % will be fertile.
In no field of human thought is there today more
intense and promising study than in the psychology of
the child. That psychology will have to make plenty Of
mistakes losing old advantages in pursuing new, but in
the end the human being, the only animal that pro-
crosses, will have made substantial gain. Indeed the
boast that living in the century of the child is not
unjustified.
In such glorious epoch the parent who has no
idea what in school is actually happening to his off
spring is spiritually parent, but accident.
