Russell Gordon Carter. famous as a
writer of sturies for boys. said 1t was
his experience that boys seldom re-
member the names of the authors, but
never forget the stories that they like.
"One of my neighbours boys once
read a story of mine and told me
about it. The fact that my name was
on the cover had been entirely over

Mysteries of Vitamines
--. Sought by Scientists

vitamines are one of the essential
elements in foods. Lack of them has
been proved 10 cause eye diseases,
sterility, ricketts,, scurvy, beri-beri and
stunted growth. They exist in certain
foodstuffs only, and even in parts, -sSJii /
roodstufIs, ssdcn as the husks Of rice
anu potato peelings, which are not
generally eaten. Methods Of remov-
ing these clements from unpalatable
parts Of foods are most important, as
they may thus be added to more palat-
able diets otherwise inadequate to the
maintenance OF health.
Science is attempting to solve the
mysteries Of vitamine production and
removal, says writer In the WASH
ington Post. Ultimately 1t expects to
manufacture these valuable food con-
stituents synthetically In its labora-
tories When that day arrives human
health VIII have been promoted i'm
measurably, for no other single item
Is more important, particularly to chill
dren, than the vitamine.

An Episcopal missionary in Mime
sofa visited one of the outlying dis
tricts in his territory for the purpose
Of conducting prayer He inquired Of
the lady Of the largest house there If
he might hold the services In her
home. Not being noted for her great
piety, she murmured something about:
"Going out to see about it."
Going out to see what detained her
after a long wait, the missionary found
the men busy. He went up and said !:
aren't you coming in? Don't you
care anything about your souls?"
''Souls?" asked the head Of the fam

Measuring Moonlight

We grumble at our constant changes
In temperature, yet on the moon the
noon temperature is hotter than boil
ing water, and at night it freezes SOL
idly in the deadliest cold imaginable,
about ass degrees below zero. This is
because the moon does not retain heat,
throwing the SUMS rays back into
space, like mirror reflects light.
These facts have been revealed by
an instrument invented recently. 1t
Is SO sensitive that 1t even measures
the heat of moonlight when 1t reaches
the earth, so small a fraction of de-
gree that 1t can hardly be imagined.

Tsmper.,ur. and Earth

Only few feet of earth on the
very surface Is affected by the daily
range in temperature. There is then
a larger layer upon which neither the
surface temperature nor the tempera.
ture Of the inside Of the earth has
any effect Then comes the layer
where the temperature Of the earth
increases one degree for every 80 to
20 feet one goes into the Interior OF
the earth. The cold water comes from
the layer which Is unaffected by tenn
peratureS from within the earth or on
the surface OF the earth. In some
places we have thermo springs where
the water comes from depth below
this in the region which is influenced
by the heat from within the earth.

Rare Chinese Pottery

Peachblow ware Is the most valu-
able OF Chinese pottery. II belongs
to the Chinese potteries which are
transmutation glaxes embracing a type
Of flambe color. These glazes differ
from red to a delicate pink. which is
peachblow. Peachblow products have
realized prize amounts In salesrooms,
and many Of these pieces are exhibited
In museums. They are no longer
made. Originally peaehblow was made
In King-te-Chin and was considered as

Use. for Gyro.eops

When first invented, the gyrOscope,
then called rOtascOpe, was used as
scientific toy to illustrate the dynamics
Of rotating bodies, the composition Of
rotations, etc. A delleately mounted
form Of the above apparatus. invented
by NJ. Foncault, is used to render
visible the rotation Of the earth on
account of the tendency Of the rotat-
ing wheel to preserve a constant plane
of rotation, independent Of the earth's
motion. This same principle is made
use OF in an instrument Invented by
DIR. II. AuschutE-Kampfe, designed to
replace the mariners compass or to
serve as q check upon Its accuracy.

that retired Army officers are

such, are not civilians. Darr cited

for Chief Justice in the history Of

One suggestion has been made
privately that Hughes be asked to
disclose to the Senate judiciary
Committee the total amount Of his
retainers said to have averaged
S6OO,OOO q year, and their sources
since he resigned as Secretary OF
State. He would also be asked to
reveal the identity Of his corpora
ton clients at the present time.
The fight against Hughes was
based solely on his public atti.
tude toward economic questions
involving property rights and the
interests Of corporations. Just
as conservative politicians would
oppose the appointment Of q
radical like Brookhart to the
Supreme Court, so a Democratic
InSurgent coalition Is opposing
Hughes on the ground that he
is q "reactionary." His opponents
have at all times conceded the
nominees legal ability, personal
integrity and moral qualifica-
tions.
The only question before the
Senate was whether 1t would con-
firm as Chief Justice a lawyer
who fought five-cent fare, who
argued that a return Of 6.26 per
cent on capital investment OF o
corporation was "confiScatory,

activities were within the confines
of a single State.

the fight. At first even he con
ceded the, Unanimous confirma'
ton" Of Hughes. Then he and
Senator Blaine (R) Of Wisconsin
OppOSGO IL III COL1404kVCCs ENCAS
Senator Borah RO Of Idaho
joined the opposition. So, too
did Senator Carter Glass CD0 Of
Virginia, a former Secretary OF
the Treasury. After that, the op-
position spread like fire. The
opposition leaders at last declared
Hughes would be rejected if the
vote could be delayed for a week
so that Senators could hear from
their constituents.
The fight has grown so fast
that Administration spokeSmen
came to Hughes defense. They
protested against barring him
from the Supreme Court on
economic grounds and pointed TO
his eminent record as leader Of
the American bar as juStifying
his appointment.
Wen hold the Senate in ses-
sion today until Hughes is con

attack on his views is not justi.

yesterday purporting to be an ex
pose of drinking among Detroit
and Michigan State officials to,

Homer Ferguson as a cowardly
attack by a professional politi.
clan" on Governor Fred w. Green
Ferguson declared today the
party mentioned in Eiggett's testi
money was given in honor of four
newly-appointed Wayne circuit
judges, and that it was quiet and
orderly. He denied liquor was
served.
Ralp Quinn. Secretary to John
c. Lodge while the latter was
mayor, also charged Liggett's
statement was absurd.
"It was a quiet party" he said
1--WE had boys band, several
acts of vaudeville and several
speakers. None Of the revelry
took place as Liggett says it did.
He had been badly ,misinformed
about the entire matter"
