THE following is particularly in
teresting experiment for the rea-
son that the various results may be
obtained under apparently the same
conditions. Get three or four dry bat
teries. If there is a garage near by
the chances are that you can get them
free, since there is always a supply
of old dry batteries on hand that are
not strong enough for automobile pur-
poses, but which are still good. With
short pieces OF copper wire, connect
them up, the carbonS OF each with the
zinc binding posts Of the opposite.
Make a strong solution of salt and
water in a glass tumbler. Place two
pieces Of brass in the solution. taking
care that they do not touch. and con
meet the wires from the batteries to
them. After the current has passed
for one or two minutes, the solution
in the glass will become colored. II
the process is continued. "a colored pig
ment will be precipitated in the glass.
This pigment varies considerably and
may be either blue, yellow. orange.
green or brown. The color will depend
largely on the strength of the electric
current. the strength of the salt and
water solution, and the composition Of
the brass.

Perhaps you have read 'Anatole
France Himself" written by his sec
retary Jean Jacques Brousson, and
perhaps you remember this passage:
Brousson observes that the sight of
the Sunday folk eXaspernted France.
"He is loud in pity over the lot of
the little chaps dressed up as sailors.
Poor little chap. Look at him
stretching his fingers in his new
gloves. He has gloves and patent
leather shoes and a whistle on cord;
the symbol of authority. Like most
of the children of PARIS he is anaemic.
He is bandy-legged and lop-eared. On
his cap is inscribed: Invincible or
Bellerophon"
Don't YOU believe what this man of
letters says about French children
being anaemic or lop-eared. Go out
any Sunday or holiday in or about

Mr.. Judson, followed by MIR. Sparks.

the assembled workers were hushed.
Mr. Judson walked to the front Of the
hall and, turning. faced his employees.
In a few words he explained that
he had been unable to satisfy the mill
workers, and that the strike would
begin at once. Because OF the possible
danger, he was not asking any OF the
force to come to work. None OF the
women would be allowed to come, but
Ia few men would be asked to volun-

Paul glanced down at him. mo,
you'd better not. Better speak to
Mr.. Judson or Sparks about it, any

Just then a long, low automobile
swung around the drive from the
street and stopped in front of the
Office. In the front seat sat a boy
of about Georges age, well dressed
and good looking. Beside him sat
young girl, and George looked at
her with a good deal of interest.

College loomed only few years away,

something to be welcomed, even

For hours that private office had
closeted Mr.. Judson, his associates,

would be able to pacify the angry

 The religious question resulting from the governments attorney to enforce provisions of the constitu- ton of 1917 which separates all schools from church control has stirred the entire country. the statement said, "We have assured the government, Dr, Diffcndorfer reported, that we intend to obey the law and even go further, to support the government and 10 give every possible aid Tn the edu- cation and training of an intelli- gent group Of people who will par ticipate honestly and efficiently in democratic government"
