sake OF the entertainment that
they can afford you. They are
great mental eye-openers, too.
You ask how they prove that
1t is impossible to trisect an
angle with compasses and ruler.
But they don't prove, or try to
prove anything of the kind. Any
body can trisect an angle with
compass and ruler. It is rule of
thumb work, but in particular
cases it gives very accurate re-
suits
For instance, everybody knows,
or should know, that the radius
OF any circle Is equal to the arc
OF 60 degrees, or Of one-sixth of
the circumference Of the circle.
All you have to do Is to draw a
circle and then, without chang
ing the span of the compass legs,
which, of course. equals the
radius of the circle, "step" the
legs carefully round the circum-
ference, marking the end Of each
step, and joining these points
by straight radial lines to the
center. You will then have six
equal equilateral triangles in
scribed in the circle, every angle
Of each triangle being equal to

. 60 degrees, or one-sixth of the
circumference.
Now. following a way which I
learned when studying geometry,
take any diameter of the circle
that joins two opposite points of
the set of six, for instance, E, o.
D, and from the center erect a
perpendicular, o. A. Then the
angle A, o. D, is a right angle,
or 80 degrees.
Next, using D as center, and
with radius equal to o, D, draw
q short arc cutting the circle at
B. The angle ID, o, D, will equal
60 degrees. But the angle A, o,
D being 80 degrees the remain
der, A, o, B, when B, o, D is
subtracted from 1t, must be 80
degrees.
Then with A for center, and
the same radius as before, des-
cribe a short arc cutting the cir
cumference at G. Then the angle
A, o, c will be 80 degrees, and
when subtracted from A, o, D it
leaves the angle c. 0, D equal to
80 degrees, the same as A, o, B.
But evidently B, o, c is also 80
degrees, so that the lines o, c
and o, B trisect the triangle A,
o, d, or cut it into three equal
parts Of 80 degrees each.
So much you can do with COM
pass and ruler, but the method
only applies to particular cases.
An easier rough and ready meth
Cd is to use a protector. which
is simply a circle, or semi-circle,
of brass or silver, carefully
graduated in degrees. With that
you can lay off any number Of
degrees, and even parts Of de-
grees II the instrument Is large
enough to be subdivided into min
utes of arc.
But this Is not solving the prob
lem that the mathematicians talk
Of. They ask for q general rule
by which to triset any triangle,
without employing any principles
of construction not included IN
Euclid's geometry, and they have
satisfied themselves that no such
rule is possible.
But, by going into other
branches of mathematics the tri-
section problem Is solvabIe, and
even demonstrable by a graphic
construction. There exists, for
instance, a peculiar mathemati-
cal curve, belonging to a group
known as the "limacon." or snail,
curves, which is called the "tri-
sectrix" just because 1t enables
one to draw the lines needed to
trisect any angle.

Dorothy Ellingson has come to

Of what was once hangman's hiu

The sky is gray behind her
there is a clutter Of tawdry, saw

They are bleached narrow In
the sockets of her skull. Her
hair is a dank, red rag against

tips culver under the securing

their dimming flags, the wide gay
gardens, the palm bordered road,
became but dull frame for that
dumb mass Of agonizipg stone.
The End OF The Trail" they
called 1t, and each man saw there
in the trail which he himself had
travelled, the loneliness that he
himself had known, the cringing
from harsh fate, the surrender
to despair.
In 1915 that statue crouched
dumb and beaten above the play
ground Of the nation, tine Pana-
ma Exposition. In 1926 another
figure, dumb and beaten, croucheS
at the end Of her trail while q
nation stares curiously, then goes
on its Indifferent way. The fig.
ure in the statue was that Of an
Indian, the victim Of civilization.
THE FIGURE IN THE COURT
is THAT OF ANOTHER saw
AGE WHO is ALSO THE VIC
TIM OF CIVILIZATION-DORO-

The trail was not always at it's
end for that carven Indian. Once
1t was broad and far flung, hot
with sun, bright with flowers,
quick with adventure. Once the
flesh on that young savage
shone in the light, cleaned and
pulsed and quivered with life.
Once his hair glistened with
youth, his eyes were full and soft
in their sockets. He was as sleek
and urgent as the animal he
strode, as lustful and impatient
of denial.
And once, they say. Dorothy
EIlingson was as vivid and as
ardent in her savagery. That red
hair cleaned with her abundant
vigor, the white flesh beat with
a restless pulse, her feet were
tingling arches, her mouth half
open and hungry for the vino of
life. Hot and red, laughing and
alive as some slim dancer in a
bacchanal.
We let her have her bacchanal.
We didn't approve OF 1t exactly.
We were particularly noisy in our
disapproVal when our own waists
were to fat or ou- own arches
too flat for bacchanalia. We
rolled our eyes and quoted laws.
We gossiped over back fences and
wrangled in legislatures. We
heard sermons over the radios and
read books that gave US all the
forbidden thrills or saturnalia
with none of the consequences.
