COLLEGE MODELS ARE BIG
FACTOR IN SPRING BUSINESS

That college models are an out
standing factor in the merchandising
activities of the clothing manufacture
ers for the new spring season, is evil
dent in the announcements of the
opening of the new lines. That con-
siderable recognition has come to the
college men as potential factors in
styling is indicated by the stress that
is being placed on the development of
the college models, both by the high
grade quality houses, and the popu-
lar-price manufacturers.
The competitive element which is
being injected in the distribution Of
this type of clothing for the new sea-
son is greater than at any previous
season and will govern, in meas
ure, the widespread interest in this
type of clothing which is expected to
develop.
Showing the three-button, small
open notched lapel, loose hanging
garment, the manufacturers have de-
veloped what is believed is the authen-
tic garment desired by the college
men throughout the leading colleges
in the country, and an aggressive
merchandising policy is being en-
ployed to gain the ascendancy insthe
exploitation of this type of garment
in the various college communities.
During his recent tour of the in
dustrial North of England, the Prince
of Wales visited the Ladyship Mills,
and while there selected three suit
lengths of cloth. He favored two
varieties of gray Glenurquhart checks
and brown bird's-eye pattern, which
are being forwarded by the mills for
making up by London tailor.

SUPERINTENDENT DEFEATED

By a vote Of sgt to 452, Albert M.
Bank, school superintendent at Park
Rapids for 20 years, was defeated
for that position at a special election
Saturday. The vote was the largest
ever cast at Park Rapids election,
and followed bitter campaign. When
reelection of Mr.. Banks came be-
fore the school board in January, that
body was deadlocked, and special
meetings that followed failed to
break the tie vote. This resulted in a
decision to refer the matter to the
citizens.

NEW YORK, September 3.-Fresh
light on the manner in which Arch1-
medes, the Greek mathematician of
the third century, Be, met his
death has been brought to light by
an early Roman mosaic now in the
possession of q noble family in Ger
many, according to information re-
ceived by DR.. Ralph V. D. Magoffin.
president of the Archaeological In
stitute of America.
The story of the death of Archi-
medes is one of the best known tales
of classical literature and is one OF
the stock instances of the eternal
combat between ignorant brutality
and the search for truth.
'Marcellus. the Roman general" >"
explained DR.. Magoffin, captured
Syracuse in 212 B. c. Some of his
soldiers came into a house in the
suburbs, where they found man
whom they ordered to leave. He
paid no attention to them. He was
engrossed in affairs of his own. He
was drawing mathematical designs
with a stick in the sand on the floor
of his house. One of the soldiers
again ordered this queer and inatten-
tive man to get out. AS his order
was not obeyed, the soldier killed the
elderly scientist.
Figures i'm the Dust
Cicero and Livy handed down the
story about the death of Archimedes
with the Latin words in pulvere
describere, which means drawing
figures in the dust. No one of the
later commentators seems to have
questioned either the bad house.
keeping of Archimedes in having so
much dust on his floor that he could
trace mathematical figures in it with
his staff, or the unlikelihood Of his
having sand on his floor at all. In
fact, it is strange that scholars did
not jump to the right conclusion be-
fore. especially as there was tip in
Apuleius. whose reference In one
place to an abacus and sand should
have put them on the right track.
Joseph Napoleon and Joachim
Murat, while the French were in
power in Naples, conducted consider
able excavations at Pompeii and Her
culaneum during the years 1906 to
1915. They found great many good
things, the largest part of which We're
kept in the family, as the sale in 1860
at Rome of the collection of Jerome

seem to certify. Among the purchases
from that collection was a small
mosaic which was acquired by a noble
man from Germany. 1t is still in the
possession of a German countess OF
the same family in her house in Wies

is well attested by archeologists OF

"At one side a Roman soldier ad-

hand. With his left hand he points
behind him toward the door with the
gesture that clearly belongs to some
such command as 'Begone'. Seated in
a broad backed chair is bearded
man of dignified demeanor, who holds
the two sides of an abacus, or count
ing board, on a low three legged table
standing before him. He is working
with the abacus, which. as is well
authenticated, had a compartment on
it's face next to the lines of counters
on which in sand or dust one might
draw figures. The scientist looks up
in momentary amaZement at the
to him--inexplicable soldier, who has
burst in so rudely upon his calcula-
tions. 1t is the moment just before
his death, and the pictorial quality of
this mosaic with it's small black,
white and colored squares of marble,
Is one of splendid reality deliDeated
with archaeological accuracy and artis-
tic technique.
THE great Archimedes, then, was
killed by a Roman soldier, but not
while he was standing in a room draw
ing mathematical designs upon the
sand or dust on the floor. He met
his end while he was seated in his
study with an abacus before him on a
table, on which he was originating
some new mathematical proposition.
So again archaeology has come to the
aid of history and given us the nicely
of detail that rounds out in scientific
fashion one of the fine old stories of

A black monkey, one Of the first
group of an extremely rare species to
reach the United States, arrived Fri
day at the National Geological Park.
1t was the choice of collection of
six which came to New York last
week, and American biologists for a
time were puzzled to identify it. 1t
now has been classified as a black
langura, which is found only in the
jungles of Sumatra, and even there
Is seldom seen. Real black monkeys
are quite unusual.
An important addition to the park
collection was a female gibbon, about
a year old, which was secured as a
mate for the male baby gibbon Sc
cured this Spring. This also came
from Sumatra and is of the black
handed variety.
The gibbon, which is the lowest of
the anthropoid apes, has been de-
scribed as the most graceful Of all liv-
ing mammals, seeming literally to
float in the air as it swings from
limb to limb. The "black-handed"
gibbons are the hardest of the family
and if they survive the first Winter
in captivity can often be kept for
many years.
