Bombing the Moon.

When YOU look at the moon through
even a small telescope you can see
that it's surface is made up of Jagged
mountains and deep pits that plainly
have never been smoOthed by any,
wind or water How the mountains
and pits that look like the craters of
volcanoes came there, however, is
difficult to explain. Some people have
believed that the moon really did
have volcanoes, and others that great
gaseous bubbles from its interior burst
through it's crust, which would e%-
plain why the craters are SO broad
and shallow But. no one could eX-
plain why every crater has a little
hill in the center. One scientist, how
ever. has suggested that If YOU drop
a stone in soft warm mud the splash
will make q low ridge around a broad
pit. with a little mole in the center
and from this he argues, and perhaps
rightly that the moon has received
a terrific bombardment from a shower
of heavy meteors:
Now what do you know about that?

Radio Voices
BY FLORENCE DAVIES.

We seldom pause these days.
For the first time in the world
history we talk 70 London and Lon
don replies. Voice answers voice as
clearly as the grocer takes your or
der over the telephone
The papers fash the news. But
we ask. What next and turn 10
the story of the last hold up or the
beauty column.
1t is too bad to miss the wonder
Of such events. but too often we lose
the drama of the worlds story in the
trivialties of the stage business.
Already the human voice has been
carried across the ocean by wireless.
But never before had we been able
10 answer the message on the same
impulse.
When some one asked John F.
Carty. chief of the research bureau
of the telephone company and one OF
the greatest engineers of the world
what he would say if he could talk
with all the world like this. If he
could speak TO Buenos Aires or Pc
king or Cairo. he was silent a mo-
ment and then replied. Il should san,
Lift up your hearts.
How seldom we pause long enough
to lift up our hearts in the presence
~ 6iSdI lilN 'NCt@ ~ SA|iN
ment.
Just once in a while. when deep
calleth unto deep. when in some mys-
teriouS way we can tune in and hear
the ringing music of the spheres,
shall we not pause and lift up our
hearts?
Surely it is foolish waste to let the
prosy. daily. sometimes sordid things
of the present crowd out the evidence
of hidden mystery about us.
Why should not SO moving an oc
casion as London calling to New
! York and New York answering with

London Pleads for America.

LONDON. March %. 1776.-The
King has given his answer TO Inc
Humble Address and Petition of the
Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Commons
of the City of London on behalf OF
America, which was laid before him
on March %. The petition and his
ma jesty's reply have been made pub
lie. The incident is now closed, but
not without leaving for future genera
tions a definite record of the sympathy
for the American colonists which
many Englishmen are known to
harbor.
I'VE humbly conceive" !" said the lord
mayor's address to his majesty, that
no people can be bound to surrender
their rights and liberties as return
for protection. The colonies have
fought our battles with MS, and in the
last war they SO far exceeded their
abilities. that this nation thought It
necessary to make them an annual
compensation. Indulge. most
gracious sovereign, the humanity and
beniGnity of your own royal dispo-
stion. and our prayers will he grant
ed. We implore the extension OF your
majestys justice and mercy toward
that continent which, when arbiter Of
the terms of peace, it was you maj
estys own determination to prefer 10
every other compensation for all the
expenses OF the last war"
To which address and petition his
majesty was pleased to return the fol-
lowing answer:
Il deplore, with the deepest concern
the miseries which great part of
my subjects in North America have
brought upon themselves by an un-
iustifiable resistance to the constitu-
tional authority of this kingdom, and
shall be ready and happy to alleviate
those miseries, by acts of mercy and
clemency. whenever the authority is
established and the now existing re-
belicn is at an end To obtain these
salutary purposes / will invariably
pursue the most proper and effectual

HOW IT STARTED

ITO the Bitter End. =

"IU fight him to the bitter end.'
That is a typical use of the term bit
ter end" which is 50 familiar in com
mon speech 1t is not always fight
with reference TO which the express
sion il used, the situations involving
bitter end" being varied But in
the majority of cases one is fairly
certain to find a fight or a struggle
of some kind somewhere along the
line.
The origin of the term is credited 10
the terminology of the sea. 1t came
INTO use in the days before vessels
had chain cables and rode to their
anchors by ropes which We're tied
to the ships on wooden crospots or
bits" the end of the rope being
called. in sailors lore. the bitter
end" or "ahaft the hits"
The term acquired it's dire siGnifi-
canoe because this end was the last
resort and last stand, and If, when
ii was reached, the ship was not held
secure, she was in danger of drifting
ashore and perhaps being dashed to
pieces.

Spain, butt an independent govern

and many military engagements fol

Bernardo OHiggins, the leader Of
the patriot army, was made Chile :
first dictator in 1917, and 1t was he
who decreed the present design for
the national flag on October IS of
that year. This was four months be
fore the independence of Chile was
formally recognized. The cOlors are
undoubtedly based upon those of the
Star Spangled Banner of the United
States. A writer in the Pan-Ameri-
