MOLECULES DANCE,

Princeton Experiment Uses
Electric Current to Dis

PRINCETON, N. j., November 16.-
Another Of the substitutes for sight
whereby scientists look" into the or
dinarily invisible structure of matter Is
used by Or. Charles P. Smyth. ASSOC
ciate professor of chemistry at Prince
ton University.
He projects an alternating electric
current through gases and liquids and
from the visible results learns some
thing of the underlying, unseen proc
esses which occur.
For enc thing the molecules of the
gases and liquids seem to do wig-wag
dance.
Seem TO Have Heads.
They face with the current, first In
one direction, then the other, or they
attempt to do 90. This Is due. says
ing positive and negative poles. They
seem to have heads and tails. They
flop part way over with each alterna-
ton Of current, even though 1t reverses
many thousands of times second.
These antics of the molecules vary
according to the 50 ce between them.
They often differ In liquids when crowd.
ed close together.
The electrical properties which are
m - cured give some idea of the shapes
of the molecules, Prof. Smyth says, and
of the ARR ngcment of the atoms com.
posing the molecules.
Smallest Particles Known.
They show that electrically there Il
often an unsymmetrical distribution Of
the minute particles which compose
atoms.
These particles are the nuclei. or CEN

Ever wonder just how fast money
goes? Florence Harrison, dean of the
college Of home economics at Wash

all calculated for you. She has COM
puted FROM economics statistics the
startling fact that Mrs. Consumer, the
great American buyer, spends almost
$4,000 every second Of the day.
according to the director of the
United States bureau of standards, +"
declares the home economics dean,
"about $50 100000 ARE spent an
nually by women for food, clothing,
shelter, and numerous service. Taking
Mis- figure as q most conservative
estimate of what women buy, we have
a billion a week passed out of the
hands of Mrs. Consumer. Figure the

w. S. C. PROFESSOR STUDYS THI
EFFICIENCY OF SKIM MILK
RATION FOR CHICKS

Experiments in the feeding OF dry
skim milk to growing chicks show that
the average weight Of the chicks at
~ weeks Increases as the rate of pre-
tein or milk Is raised to the point
where dry milk comprises 20 per cent
of the ration. declare Professors J. S.
Carver and J., w. Cassel OF tine State
College poultry department. who have
been working on the project with j. L..
st, John, state chemist
1.-THE increased efficiency fthe 20
per cent dry milk ration over the ra-
ton containing eight per cent is APP
proximately seven per cent" states
the report Of the work of the experts.
THE efficiency Of Tie protein itself at
the different levels is the same, vary
ing from lis to TIT per cent in five
amounts used IN five different rations.
The efficiency of She protein in pro-
ducing growth is not the same at
different ages, however, for it de-
creases to approximately half at 10
weeks. Greater growth can be secured
by increasing the protein level for the
first u weeks of life at greater cost
per pound of gain as the protein level
is increased.
A study is now being made on the
efficiency Of skim milk rations for
chicks Of over IL weeks of age. Re-
suits will be announced later by the

~vAN1ry, THY NAME IS WOMAN"

Shakespeare made an error when he
said Vanity, thy name is woman!''
according to Ann Craddock, State Col
lege home economics instructor, who
claims through her research work on
perfumes to have unearthed some dis
paraging material concerning the in
vulnerability of mans vanity.
1.-THE emperor Napoleon bathed him
self in eau de cologne prior TO the
rigors of campaigning declares the
Washington State teacher. Even then
his procedure occasioned little surprise,
for it was simple in comparison with
the preparations of early Roman kings.
The Greeks, too, went through COM
plicated pertaining process; the mobiles
used variety of scents for different
parts of the hody--mint for the arms,
palm oil for the jaws and heart, mar
joram for the eyebrows and hair, and
ground ivory essence for tie knees and
neck. They began the tremendous fad
for perfumes which is so widespread
today. The contemporary popularity
of perfume for personality" had its
beginning in the desire OF these ancient
handles to appear well-groomed."

NEW TRAFFIC HAZARD COMES
SPRING

The advent of spring serves to pre-
sent new traffic hazard in the form
of thousands Of children playing in
the streets and motorists should ac-
cept this added responsibility by using
every precaution in the interest of
safety according to the Automobile
Club of Washington, which is affiliat-
ed with the American Automobile As
ISOLATION.
The Club points out that motorists,
Of course, have the right-of-way in the
streets, but only the most heartless
driver would exercise this right if he
realized that such action would en-
danger the life of child.
Gar owners should take cognizance
of the fact that children, after months
of being kept indoors, are liable to
be careless in their new found free
dom, until they become more ac-
sustoned to outdoor life says Club
officials.
1t is unfortunate that in SO many
places, play space for children is liz
adequate, but We have such q con-
dition and all must dc our part to
meet it, Moreover, with the coming OF
spring weather, every motorist feels an
impulse to speed up his car and enjoy
the zesSful atmosphere. This is a
natural impulse, but one should be
careful in selecting the place where
stepping on the gas" can be done in
safety.
The A. A. A. Club declared that it
would he a splendid thing for the
cause of safety, particularly the safety
of children, if every car owner pledged
himself to drive with care wherever
children might be playing.
Driving with care, means proceeding
perhaps somewhat more slowly, being
more alert and keeniy alive to what
is going on around one, turning cor
ners slowly and always being ready 10
! stop.

According to Jerry McCarty,

Schwartz, Alexandria's baker boy
is the most promising fighter de.
veloped in washington in many
years.
Schwartz has the best left
hook I have seen since Cans

low had four fights In two
weeks, Barry, knight, MacFeely
and Finnazi," says McCaFty.
"After winning over knight,
. first class light heavyweight
from Birmingham, Alabama, he
received bad hand and an In.
jured ear. Rather than disap-
point his home town he boxed
Finnazi four days later, and
although working under q han
dicap he proved to me that he
has the makings."
Schwartz has the frame Of q

the manner In which he can ac-
complish the trick most easily.
Suppose the ball is under the
right arm. To shift to the left,
release the fingers Of the right
hand from over the nose Of the
ball so as to expose it slightly,
bringing the right forearm across
the body and sliding the ball
across the chest to the left. The
left hand is brought UP and the
right hand is drawn further away
from the nose, pushing that end
into the palm Of the left hand.
When the ball is firmly

arm against the opponent.
seems rather complicated, but
after . little practice 1t may
be done without loss Of time.
When the back takes the ball
from center and starts around
right end he should hold the ball
under the left arm. When going
around left end the opposite mo-
ton is to be followed.
Linemen should practice hold
ing the ball, not for shifting it
from arm to arm, but just so they
can hold it. Quite frequently line
men get the ball on a kick or a
pass and are at a loss how to
handle it. BY all means, don't
squeeze the ball around the small
diameter like a loaf of bread and
leave the ends sticking into the
breeze, for a slight blow will
knock the ball out of that po-
sition.
