division occurs in the methods Of accomplishing this
The Senate broadminded to all questions wants the

In the rear Of each eyebal1 and

slightly Of that color.
Away from this for some
distance, and toward the nose,
there can be seen the entrance
of the optic nerve, the fibres
of which spread out into the
retina. This nerve connects
with the brain.
The retina is made up Of
eight layers, some Of these are
layers Of pigment cells, some
Of nerve fibres, and there is also
q layer of Socalled rods and
cones" which have to do with
the ability to perceive color.
The means by which the ret.
ina helps to convert stimuli
from the outside into sensations
Of light is a most complicated
mechanism.
When red is perceived, for
instance. It means that the rods
and cones or whatever nerve
structure goes with them are
stimulated.
If all three colors red,
green and blue ARE stimulated
then the sensation is that of
white. Various stimuli of vary
ing intensity from any one or
all of these three primary col

perception and recognition Of

Dear Elsie Robinson:
l have Just read about an
other of these missing girls who
have left home. And I suppose
everybody win think there is q
man in it. That's what people
usually say. But I and lots of
other girls can tell them differ
ent. It isn't a lover that makes
us leave home. IT'S OUR
PARENTS.
I am q girl Of seventeen. I
am the Oldest Of three children
my brother is sixteen and my
sister twelve. I go out to work.
I do not mind that, but what !
do mind is this: I am never
allowed to go out for the least
fun, and I have to do most of
the housewofk after I get home
at night.
My mother Is a strong,
healthy woman. All she does is
to cook enough for us and lust
throw 1t on the table. For the
rest of the day she just sits
around and talks with the
neighbors. When come home
the work Is waiting to be done.
She says I needn't do it, but
If don't the house is a pig

have friends I couldn't, for II /

my parents a bit to have me 60

money, but If I want to 90 out
for my own fun they act as, If

Don't get the impression I
want to be wild. I don't even
want boy friends, but I do
want girl friends. Life is just
q prison for me. I feel like
an outcast when I see the
lives other young people have.

More Historical Lore
About the Mooted :" Dixie"

GASOUV VAAO SSS~VSSSs
Editor, Times:
Concerning Dixie" the i'm
mortal battle song Of the South
in the Civil War.
First it was a Northern bal
lad Of the Civil War. Second,
a very popular ballad by D.
D. Emmett (1s59l. originating
with Bryant's Ministries in New
York, and first performed at
Mechanics Hall. after which
it was appropriated by the
South, and became the great
Confederate battle song Of the
South. This Dixie was by Al
bert Pike, and first appeared
in The Natchez Courier.
Albert Pike was an American
author, born in Boston, 1909.
He died in washington, D. c.,
1891. His poetry, especially
his Hymns to the Gods, proved
him to be q man Of great tai
emit, and the war hymn, Dixie,
has irnmortalized him.
There are those who claim
that Dixie originated In New
York, where q certain man by
the name Of Dixie owned a
large number Of slaves. On &C
count Of climate conditions he
was obliged to ship them South.
As homesick slaves they looked
backward to their old home
with Dixie in New York as a
sort of Paradise, which they
celebrated in their pathetic
songs.
The song that originated
among the slaves who had for
merly belonged to the slave
holder, Dixie, in New York,
was sung in the possesSive like
the following. verse:
Then I wish I was In Dixie's
land,
Hooray, Hoo-ray!
For Dixie was q good. old man,

John Hays Hammond. jr.,
has worked out a remarkable
device for guiding the aviator.
Situated as he is, in his plane,
he cannot perhaps see the ter

structions, such as houses, trees,
telegraph poles and wires.
Hammond has at the trans
hitting station an exact, rainia-
ture model Of the landscape
over which the aviator is flying.
Over this miniature field are
three movable arms, represent
ing the directive lines Of the
radio bearings.
Now these three arms inter-
sect in what is known as q
televiSion eye. It is in the pre-
else position above the model
field that the plane is above
the ground.
The televiSion eye sees pre-
cisely what the aviator would
see II his sight could penetrate
the fog or darkness. The essen
