~7aHE structure of light is zone
III OF the most perplexing
IL problems facing the pio-
sneers upon the frontier of science.
In general light acts as though
it were composed of waves. It
seems as1though this were actually
the case, for it Isl a simple
laboratory experiment Ato measure
the lengths Of the waves Of
different colored light.
But in studying X-ray and re-
lated phenomena, scientists have
found that light frequently acts
as though it were composed Of
definite little particles each con-
tanning a definite amount. of
energy. This energy content has
also been measured and has been
named the quantum.
Now scientists are faced with
the difficulty Of ipieturing a/struc-
ture for light which will explain
both the wave phenomena andsthe
quantum phenomena.
This has been attempted re-
Gently by Sir Joseph Thonason,
famous British scientist.
Sir Joseph believes that the, cleo
irons are held to the nucleus of
atoms by what he calls "tubes of
force"
When an object is heated suffi-
GENTLY it gives off light. Sir Jo-
seph says that this is because the
electrone are moved out into larger
orbits. This, he says throws the
tuha Of force into a loop and it
becomes detached and travels out
into space as a "closed ring Of
force"
The ouantum theory matches up
with this theory, because such
ring of force would contain a
definite amount of energy.
Sir Joseph says it also matches
up with The wave theory because
these rings would be Of different
diameter and that the so-called

Peculiar and Grave Accident tn
Brother of Woodstock Resident
Caught In Car Jam

j. F. Norman of Broadway. and
brother of Mrs. Stanley Ramey of
Woodstock, lost leg in a peculiar
and unusual accident ON Tuesday. II
Is probably the only accident of its
kind since the introduction of auto
mobiles.
Mr.. Norman was standing on the
streets of Broadway. between Ford
and Dodge automobile, which were
parked close together. Behind one
OF the cars. Beck's bread truck was
parked. 1t is alleged that the driver
OF the bread truck left the machine
in gear and when it was cranked the
truck plunged forward, jamming the
Ford and Dodge together.
Norman's right leg was caught be-
tween a projecting spring and the
Ford axle. crushing the bones SO
badly that amputation was neces-
sary. The bones were literally splin-
tered and when the operation was
performed at Rockingham Memorial
Hospital. only shreds of flesh were
holding the injured member to-
gether.

BIG MASS MEETING
FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES
Effort to Get Help for Local School
Will Be Heard at Fridays
Meeting

/ The concerted effort of the citi
teacher for the Woodstock Higl
School has resulted in several meet
ings of different civic bodies to no
only give impetus to the movement
! but to present the matter in such {
convincing way that the Board OF
Supervisors at its meeting today will
see the necessity for providing fol
the emergency in the local school.
The Civic League, Rotary Club
Town Council, High School Alumni
Association, Citizens Committee and
other bodies have been jealous in the
movement, and under the leadership
of Frank S. Tavenner, Jr., the plans
formulated have been thoroughly ex-
planned and started toward success.
The Supervisors at their meeting
today will be confronted not only by
a large delegation of citizens and
taxpayers of Woodstock, but there
will be representatives from other
sections of the county, asking for i'm
proved school conditions.
Naturally. the matter of finances
is the outstanding question involved
in the proceedings, and the Supervi-
sors have heretofore plead lack of
funds as reason for not making
appropriations other than those COW
cred in their annual budget
The fund set aside from taxation
for county needs, known as the
county fund, amounts to $4,000.
The current expenses of the county
are $4,000, not allowing for emery
encies or interest. The county owes
to banks and individuals for money
borrowed, $4,000, and the districts
are due out of the county fund. for
money advanced for resurfaeing
roads, $500. The interest charged
against the general fund is approx
mately $500 and allowing $4,000 for
emergencies the Supervisors say
they have less than $4,000 left after
paying the $4,000 set aside yearly
as sinking fund for the reduction
of the county's Indebtedness. These
figures allow nothing for new roads,
bridges or similar expenditures.
On the other hand, Shenandoah
County is better off financially than
any county in Virginia, without a
penny of bonded Indebtedness, and
with an assessed valuation high in
the list of Virginia counties.
1t is maintained that money is al
ways found and provided for other
purposes. when necessity makes such
provision, and that the hope of the
county is in the help of the schools.
There is no question of the value of
schools and it is upon this argument
that today's arguments will be based

MEMORIAL COINS
HAVE SLOW SALE
III You Have Not Secured One, Ask
at Your Bank-Worth While

The Shenandoah National Bank
reports small sales of the Southern
Memorial coins issued by the United
States government as an aid in
financing the great Stone Mountain
project TO build the greatest monu-
ment of the ages as testimonial to
southern valor.
The half dollars, of which there
were only a limited number coined.
sell for a dollar, and there are no
handsomer coins in existence. Aside
from their sentimental and intrinsic
values, the coins have a numismatic
value, and in a few years there is
little doubt but what they will be
sought for by coin collectors at a
greatly enhanced price.
However. this is presenting the
sordid side of a reason for southern
investment in these coins. for assur-
edly~ there should remain in the
hearts of the sons and daughters OF
the men who made such sacrifices
for the South, enough appreciation
of their deeds and enough of admira-
ton for their valor to prompt ready
response to the South's efforts to
complete its great memorial.
1t was anticipated that the demand
for the coins, especially in the South
would be so great that they would
be disposed of in a little time. just
why the hesitancy in buying is a
matter hard to fathom, for it should
be source of pride as we'll as mat
ter of privilege to possess Southern
Memorial Coin.
I Ask your banker for one. 1t is
good investment and one which
will make you copartner with thou
sands of other southerners in perpet
uating the memories of the men who

though defeated, was never lost.

NEW MARKET
WANTS WATER
Plan for Modern System Being Con-
sidered-Delayed BY Court

Awakened to the necessity for an
ample supply of pure water for do
nestle and other purposes, there is
an undercurrent of feeling among
the citizens of the capital of Lee Dis
trict which augurs well for the ac-
complishment of an undertaking
which means more for the town than
any movement heretofore contem-
plated by the town.
Just now, the towns effort to have
it's corporate limits extended is dead
locked because of the illness of Judge
Frank B. Whiting. The provisions of
the law are such that the judge of
this judicial district must sit with
two other judges in considering this
expansion, and this matter is delayed
until such time as the law can be
complied with.
The question of water supply is
contingent to a certain extent upon
the courts action on expansion, or
at least a definite plan for water
supply will be held in allegiance un-
til the question OF additional terri
tory is settled.
New Market occupies the unique
position of being in the very center
of the tourist traffic in thes Shenan-
doah Valley, because of its proxim-
lity to the Valley caverns and the
number of hotels and houses of pri.
vate entertainment. Probably nc
town in the Valley is in greater need
of an adequate water supply. free
from all sources of possible pollu
ton, and certainly no Investment
would return larger profit thar
such an investment.
New Market is an integral part Of
Shenandoah County and its progress
sion is a matter of pride to the entire
county. There are no municipal OF
district lines in the cooperative effor
for a better county, and every sec
tion of Shenandoah is interested IN
whatever New Market does in tn,
forward march of development.

moonshine still ever discovered in
that section. The plant was in full
operation at the time and the eight
men, six of whom were negroes. es-
capped into the mountain after being
tipped off by sentinels. William
Jones, farm employee near Licks-
vile, was arrested on the charge of
Illicit manufacture, after being
caught leaving the scene of the still
with horse and wagon.
The still was built of large hogs
heads with a large steam boiler at
tached, having a capacity of $50 GAL
Ions of liquor per day. A total of
rs watts containing between $4,000
and 10000 gallons of mash were
found. and SO cases of glass Jars:
1000 pounds of granulated sugar,
together with a large quantity of
yeast and other materials. The still
was of the double cooker style and
had been in operation for the past
six weeks, the officers learned.
A total of about 200 gallons of
newly destroyed liquor was found
