AND Wnen we really look COOL the thought WORKS
itself into our minds SO that we soon begin to feel
as cool as we look.
When one considers the little, time most women
devote to selecting colored clothes in their relation
to the weather and season it is little wonder that
we find them wearing flanae-colored frocks when the
Thermometer registers IN the nineties.
Such colors when worn on a hot day not only
catch and hold the heat, but give the impression
to others that one is far warmer than one actually
is. Then, too, warm colors work on ones subcon-
scious mind, suggesting heat and action, instead Of
GOODNESS and restful moods.
Not only Is it necessary to choose the right
shade, but the material plays an important part in
the Summer wardrobe. Satins, bright and shiny,
hold and reflect the heat, literally throwing a spot

plan has the backing of the Hoover administration and
OF the Democratic pro-court senate group.
Early comment by the American press indicates
that in general procourt papers viii support the Root
plan, and that anti-court papers will oppose it.
AS consistent advocate of American adherence to
the court, this newspaper not reject the Root COM
promise which seems to- it better than nothing Never
theless in judgment there is immediate occa-
sion for rushing into the Root solution until other
alternatives have been exhausted.
Our lack of enthusiasm for the Root formula is be-
cause it would in effect postpone settlement of the
dispute, with the United States assuming what
amounts to temporary membership All denias to the
contrary, any future withdrawal by the United States
from the court would injure the courts prestige and
increase the worlds suspicious of the United States
1t is necessary Of course as provided in the original
senate reservations that the United States have the
right of withdrawal but is desirable to minimize the
probability of withdrawal by settling the present dis
pute before adherence.
The present dispute is over the senate reservation
which would prevent the court from rendering advs
ory league opinions without consent, any ques
ton in which the United States has claims to have
an interest.
AS the United States may claim an interest in any
question under the sum- that would give virtual
veto power over all court advisory decisions The Euro
pean powers have stated they willing to grant the
United States equal but not greater rights than league
council members which obviously is fair proposition
But the confusion arises because Geneva has not
decided whether unanimous vote of the league com-
Gil is required in asking the court for advisory opin
ions; or in other words, whether each council mem
Der already has the veto power demanded by the
United States
The Root formula provides method of rapid con-
sultation between Geneva and Washington specific
requests for advisory opinions they arise with the
idea that in most cases Geneva and Washington could
come to an agreement to whether the specific case
should be handed to the court.
In case of disagreement, the formula provides for
friendly withdrawal of the United States from the
court.
We regret the clause in the senate reservation de-
handing veto power, but as realiss must admit
there is no prospect of the United States entering the
court under any other conditions.
If council members already have that veto power,
as many experts contend the dispute automatically
thereby is settled Geneva owes it to the court and to
the United States to decide without delay whether
council member have that veto power.
If they have such power, then there is no further
difdculty over American adherence under the senate
reservations and need whatever for the Root COM
promise formula and Its postponement of an other
wise dangerous issue.

Victory for Rebels

TT was a great spectacle while it
l. lasted, except that no one seemed
to get a line of the action, much
less the plot, those staging it in
cluded.
It began with the federaIs on the
inside and rebels on the out, but
ended with both armies in reverse
positions.
There were mutual su-renders,
assertions and switches
After four hours of fighting, a
truce became necessary to find out
who was who if for no better reason,
The rebels are said to have num-
bered about 1000 and the federals
about half as many, with generals
accounting for big part Of the
enrolment on either side.
The net result was a rebel victory
since the federals, though still in
tact and technically indicated ap-
peared to have little choice, but to
surrender, or come over to American
territory and be interned for the re-
n1ainder of the war.

sor of mathematics at the Jesuit college at Bologna.
Grimaldi lived from 1918 to 1868.
He noticed that when an object such as Knue
edge was illuminated by light which came from
small opening, so-caed point source OF light, the
resulting shadow was bounded by a series OF light
and dark bands. GTimalid however, had no adequate
explanation of the phenomena.
The next serious student OF the nature OF light was
Robert Hooke who lived from 1885 to 1703. Hooke,
contemporary of Newton'S, was curator OF expert
ments of the Royal Society Without knowledge OF
Grimaldis work. he rediscovered the same phenom-
ena He made a number of excellent suggestions
about the nature of various phenomena connected
with light, but his work was not of quantitatiVe
nature.
Newton, as already said, sought to explain light
on the basis that it consisted of minute corpuscles
He attempted to explain difraction phenomena,
such as the light and dark bands in the shadow of
the knife edge on the basis of detection of the light
particles by the knife edge that is on the basis OF
some attraction interaction between objects ard
light waves.
While Newton was busy with experiments, the wave
theory Of light launched by contemporary
Christian Huygens
In 1875 Romer discovered that light possessed a
constant and definite speed Huygens at the time
was living in Paris Shortly after Romers announce
nent Huygens read paper before the French Acad-
envy of Science, in which she showed that the con-
slant speed Of light and the phenomena Of reflection
refraction and dffracton could all be explained very
simply by assuming that light consisted OF waves.
DescarteS and others had already suggested that
so-called empty space was really filled with medium
Of some sort. This was called the ether.
Huygens suggested that light consisted OF waves
in the ether Of space.

Rule Against Looting

THE battle was preceded by a
Il hurried migration of Juarez
bartenders and saloon-keepers. AS
it progressed, they stood on Ell Paso
street corners, or lounged about the
hotel lobbies, discussing the prob
able outcome and cost.
To let the victorious rebel gen.
erals tell it, they have little to fear.
"We have plenty of cash." those
generals declare. "We pay as we
go. There will be no 1ooting."
One can not help wondering
where they get the cash, or for that
matter, where this whole revolu-
tionary movement got the cash.
Quite obviously, someone has put
up a lot, stolen a lot, or come by
a lot in ways that are dark.
Whether there has been any loot
ing, or whether there will be, it
seems to be generally understood
that the revolution is we'll financed.

StandstiII at Juarez

HE capture of Juarez brings
H. matters to standstill on this
sector for the time being.
The rebels are not only in control
of the town, but of the principal
bases in back of it. What good this
will do them is different story.
The art of revolving in Mexico is
not what it used to be. In the old
days control of the border or even
a few important border ports was
almost equivalent to success.
In the old days, contact with the
United States meant plentiful
supply of arms and ammunition.
Mexican leaders can't seem to get
away from tradition. Revolt still
means a rush for the border in
their eyes.
Apparently they do not under
stand that the United States has
adopted new policy, or that Gales
and his predecessors have succeeded
in developing a strong centralized
organization down yonder, as well
as different lines of communication.
