Bob Scott and Bill Pardaloe had
been detailed by Lefever to investi-
gate the disappearance Of the Fyler
shipment of boots. And as their re-
ports began to come in. 1t was not
hard for Selwood. who always used
his eyes and ears, to reach the con.
ciusion that Haynes merchandise con-
sisted chiefly. If not wholly, Of stolen
goods-and that these were Of a much
better quality than FLYERS stock. BY
kicking packing case here and there
under the counters, Selwood likewise
found reason to believe that some,
at least, of his boots had found their
way to the auction-and although he
had never seen pair of boots put up
by Big Haynes while he was present,
he had seen men in the street car
rying boots away from the store.

OF the last meeting, Mrs. Beals fin
ished her summary of the bills pass
ed by the. present legislature. Each
unit member reported to Mrs, Beals
on a separate bill, making eight bills
studied-the total attendance being
10. Much accurate information on
the meaning of each measure was
obtained and discussed-the women
bringing newspaper clippings which
explained the purpose and history OF
each bill. Mrs. holland served cake
and lemonade, which was much ap-
preciated after the hours study. AT
the end of the meeting the league
president congratulated the unit on
the splendid leadership and cooper
alton which it has within its own
group. ts
In leaving Douglas for some
months, the president wishes to eX-
press how much the work done by
the units in the past winter en-
courages her to believe that the
women of this city are more and
more willing to cooperate in the
purpose of the National League OF
Women Voters which is primarily
the civic education of the women
citizens of the state.

history of the Chinese nation from

as well as an interesting list of the
inventions which have been. most vi

of the world. Mrs. BuXton'S clever
summary was followed by a fine ac7
count of the causes anG effects OF the
Boxer rebellion by Mrs. Sherman
which brought Chinese history down
to our own times. On Tuesday, May

Unit was held at the home of Mrs

present. The principal item of study
for the afternoon was the Nicaraguar
situation and a most profitable ano

cules even of carbon dioxide have
a maximum velocity of 1.6 miles,
so that even that gas. though it
might escape more slowly than the
others, could not nnger forever on

The earth, on the other hand.
has a gravitative energy enabling
1t to retain the molecules Of gases

MOON AND TIDE

EFF the moon has so slight
gravitative power that she
could not retain her own at.
mosphere, how. could she create
tides in the oceans of the earth
at a distance of 23S,S4O miles?
M. L., Bronx"
HlHERE Is an essential differ
i ence between retaining an
atmosphere and a rising tide.
The gases Of the moons atmos-
phere, If she ever had any, were
no doubt similar to those com.
posing the atmosphere Of the
earth. Now the molecules Of all
gases are in continual motion
among themselves, and these
motions are far more rapid than
the motions Of bodies with which
we ordinarily deal. They amount
to number Of miles per second.
The maximum velocity IL nearly
two miles per second for oxygen,
considerably more than two miles
per second for nitrogen, nearly
