HEROES OF TODAY

The education Of q boy Is not merely matter OF

than his teachers to lay the deeper foundations Of his
life in the hours he spends with his heroes who teach
him ideals and ambitions and write their message deep
in his heart. These heroes. mythical and shadowy

confidence and the bent and fiber OF his character
will inevitably reflect their inspiration.
It used be that knights Of old spectacular heroes
of pioneer days the boon companions of the youth

has wrought It's miracle with the boy His heroes
today the front pages Of the they are a
lees soldiers and sailors aviators and explorers. and
everywhere who give their strength hazard their
lives In deed Of unselfishness and sacrifice.
Boy nature demands heroes, and the boys heroes to-
day are Of his generation and very much alive in
the world with him. He may them, hear their voices
and follow their story from day to day. The picture of
Lindbergh hangs the wall Of countless boys bedrooms

THE STAND ACr

THE STAMP ACT
One hundred and sixty-four years
ago today the British house Of lords
passed the samp act, and made war
with the American colonies only a
matter of time. It gave the colonists
their greatest slogan-'Taxation with
out representation is tyranny"
Practically every business transac-
ton In the colonies was taxed. More
than SO paragraphs Of the bill af-
fected various kinds Of documents.
These all began: For every skin or
piece OF vellum or parchment, or
sheet or piece Of paper, on which
shall be engrossed. written or printed
-. q stamp duty Of (amount)." "A
license for retailing Of spirituous
liquors" cost three pounds. Packs OF
playing cards were taxed shilling,
and every pair Of dice, ten shillings."
The act brought an era Of patriotic
self-denial to the colonies. The wear
ing OF mourning for deceased rela-
tives was dispensed with. because the
cloth was Of British manufacture.
Lamb was included on no patriots
menu, because the number Of food
producing sheep had to be increased.
The time soon came, however. when
sterner opposition than this had to
be made.

proximately from four to five per cent
of men and about one per cent CT
women have q defective color vision.
The most common defect Is green
blindness and the next red-blindness.
A green-red blind individual cannot
distinguish green and red from each
other or from various shades OF gray
which reflect light with the same in
tensity. Complete color blindness, or
the inability to distinguish lights and
shadows only. is rare. Very rare. too,
is the inability to distinguish yellows
or blues.
Sometimes color blind individuals
are not aware of their defect, since
they have learned to apply the terms
green" to grasses. trees. etc, and
red" to bricks, and they may be able
to distinguish the slight difference in
the intensity of illumination between
these objects, but they do not dis
tinguish the sharp sensations Of color
which are so striking to a normal in
dividual.
Color blindness is practically always
congenital and Is hereditary in some
cases, but it may occur from disease
or accident. The exact cause of this
phenomenon is unknown. although
there are several theories.
It is believed that some of the
lower animals are practically color
blind. This is known to be true of
the cat and dog which respond very
quickly to a moving object, but ap-
parently do not distinguish any diff
ference between the various colors of
objects.
Images Of color following the slim
illus of colored light are of the OPP
posite or what has been termed COM
Elementary color. Red, therefore,
stimulates green image, yellow, vio-
let. and etc.
These complementary colors may
also be induced by contrast, that Is,
by placing dull gray piece of paper
upon q large surface of any bright
color, it does not appear a pure gray
but has faint tint of the compile
mentary color to that Of the back
ground. For instance, q gray piece OF
paper lying upon a green background
has a red tint, and while lying upon
an orange colored paper has q blush
tint.
The usual method of testing the
color vision is to use either q series
of colored woods or some charts con-
tanning mosaic of colored areas.
For the woods, usually Holmgren's
standard is used, consisting of large
collection of different colored woods.
