Both wore class rings.
How do you like the boys in the
dormitory?" he was asked.
Fernando nodded emphatically. GOOD
fellows" he said, obviously pleased with
his ability to say it in English. I'VE

added. "Only we need lots"
The same old tale of boys school

mons groaned beneath the supply of
food.
Both Have Aspirations.
Both boys have aspirations, of course.
Fernando, like his father. would be an
engineer; Guillermo leans toward poll
tics, but not of Mexican" variety, he
added with a smile, for both appreciate
the uncertainties of politics as practiSed
in their own land.
II would go into the diplomatic serv-
Ice" Guillermo said. Asked If they had
followed the campaign of their father,
the boys nodded. When told that his
defeated opponent was in flight, they
laughed Fundamentally. Always when
you are defeated in Mexico you run
away" they added.
Vacation periods are spent in the
academy camp. down at Laurel Lake
in the Blue Ridges. or at Washington,
or perhaps with Hernanis cousins in
New York City, where they plan to pass
Christmas. Next Summer the boys
may go TO France, provided they show
enough progress in English by that
time.
Il think the fact that GARLIC is with
them Is going to hold them back in
learning English" one of the head
masters said. HE translates too much.
But they are progressing satisfactorily
at present"
A Days Routine.
A day for the two boys from break
fast on consists of an hour of recitation,
chapel at 9 am. (both attend Catholic
services on Sundays, recitations and
study until noon, luncheon, classes and
study until $3.50 pm. After which they
devote some time to sports and the
gymnasium, with dinner at 6 pm. Eve
ming study hours run to 9:45, after
which there Is half hour for visiting
In other rooms, with lights out at 1918.
For outside recreation they attend
motion picture shows In Gettysburg
the academy is only three blocks from
the public square,, go sightseeing over
the battlefield, or, as Fernando said:
TRY to talk tc the girls"
Trying to talk to the girls, however,
is quite task. since what English they
know is confined to sports and subjects
the gentler sex probably cares little
about. But with Mexican dash and
American methods, they contrive, and
already are making progress in effect

TWINKLE Of STARS
SCIENTISTS TOPIC
Astronomer Explains RippIes
Observed in the Heavens
at Night.

why do the stars twinkle? They
answer to this so-called child's question
has puzzled scientific men for ages. A
London astronomer, however, offers this
explanation:
If normal conditions could be eStab-
lished uniformly spaced rippleS of light
from the distant stars would follow each
other in regular succession. Since such
conditions are rarely found, 1t was
pointed out, one can easily imagine a
light ripple, instead of keeping step
with the regular wave, getting ahead, in
fact, almost catching up with the one
in front of it-so that its crest fills up
the first ones hollow. Then instead
of the wave, there is a straight line;
the two waves neutraliSe one another
and instead of light there is darkness.
Bigger Crest Results.
If. on the other hand the second
wave gets tiny bit farther on or re-
mains a tiny bit farther behind, its
crest might just coincide with that OF
the first one, making a bigger crest and
a bigger hollow, so that the light would
be increased, or reinforced. Thus 1t
might happen by these two waves inter-
fering with one another, that one would
get the impression, not of continuous
light but of Pickering light and dark
ness.
This, it was pointed out, will be true
II the light were of the same kind. all
violet light, or red light or green light
and If the size and length and time
intervals of the ripples were of the same
kind, but this is not so. The light from
a star is blend of light of different
kinds and wave-lengths and when
red ripple, for example eXtinguishes
another red ripple, the other ripples
nle hof q
ripple shows up the brighter, then q
blue.
This is what is happening when the
light wrinkles from the stars, the as
tronomer said. Something is interior
ing with the regular progress of the
light rippleS and that something is the
movement of the upper atmosphere Of
the earth as it swings around with the
earth's movement.
Layers of Different Densities.
The atmosphere has layers of differ
ent denSities and thickneSSeS and these
act like the refracting priSms of glass,
which split up sunlight into light of
different colors and wave lengths. When
storm Is coming on or when the air
has much moisture, as one would nat
urally expect, there is more jumbling
UP of these layers of air and the stars
twinkle more. The twinkling also de-
ponds on the kind of light which comes
from the stars. The white star Sirius,
it was recalled, is one of the fastest
twinklers; the yellow stars, about as old
as our sun, wrinkles more slowly and
the old red stars more slowly still.
The planets give out light ripples
which, with proper instruments and ia
vorable conditions. show some twin
king, though the eye can seldom per-
ceive it..

Guillermo is 10; his brother II.
Fernadno is athletically inclined, and

Apparently, Fernando being the son
of a Mexican president does not keep
his American cousins from bearing
down" at this favorite game. The two
boys attend all the games, both OF the
academy and Gettysburg College, whose
campus adjoins. In fact they lead the
carefree, adventurous life of their fell
lows. AS an instance:
I'VE bought an old fiivver," said
Guillermo, talking through an inter-
prefer, Hermann Carrillo, is, his ROOM
mate.
Yucatan Governors Son.
Hermann is the son of the governor
of Yucatan Province and is in his sec
ond year at the school. He translates
for the boys when needed. For weeks
we rode around making much fun. But
one day the flivver broke down miles
out of town. We left 1t there"
And he laughed carelessly, having
proved that American surroundings do
not prevent a Mexican youth from
solving vexatious problems in his own
way, namely by walking away from
them.
The courses arranged especially for
these boys run largely to reading SUBJ
iects-EngliSh history with few hours
of mathematics. The boys formerly at
tended military school in Mexico City.
They plan to go on to college, but may
select one in France. they said.
I'VE came to Gettysburg because OF
the recommendation of Senior Luis
Quintanilla," said Carrillo. HE is Sec
ond secretary in the Mexican embassy
at washington had went here 10 years
ago."
Found Romance There.
Further investigation reveals that
Senior Quintanilla found romance as
we'll as culture among the Blue Ridge
hills. for he married Miss Ruth Stahl-
smith of Gettysburg, and the couple
now direct as many young Mexican
students as possible to the scene of their
campus days. The Quintanillas send a
daily letter of advice and suggestion to
the boys and when the older one took
sick they were in constant attendance.

PARIS WATER HELD
IMPURE FOR BATHERS
Swimming Pools Not Safe, Writes
London Paper Corre-
spondent.

Paris drinking water is quite safe
nowadays, writes the Paris correspond
ent Of the London Sunday Observer,
and there would be no point In the reply
Of the valet who, on being reproached
for being drunk, replied: We'll, sir, you
told me not to touch the water here"
The bathing water is another matter,
however. Some fastidious people, sus-
pecting the cleanliness of river which
passes through great city, might be
doubtful about taking swim in those
baths, which consist of a quadrangle
Of dressing cabins on pontoons floating
in the open Seine; but they would be
wiser to battle there than in any of the
public or private swimming pools of
which there are number in Paris.
