Why Skunk May We'll Be
 Held Friend of Farmer

Two of the most unconcerned ami malls of wild life are the porcupine and the skunk, neither of which will flee from larger animals. The porcupine merely rolls himself up into a ball with his armor of barbed quills offer ing ample protection as many a hap less puppy has found out to it's great sorrow. The skunk, of course, adver. tises his unapproachability even at great distances.
 The skunk, despite his predeliction to hens eggs when he can find a way into hen house, nevertheless is a friend of the farmer, for he feeds largely on mice and grasshoppers. Be- ing largely nocturnal in his habits, the skunk finds plenty to eat from the hordes of bugs, salamanders and oth- CT small forms of life which rest at night. The type of skunk common in this area Is widely distributed from Hudson bay to Guatemala.

De TeSLOreO.
 Probably nothing is more uni- versally wished for than a rise in commodity prices. We are willing to have the Farm Board buy wheat and cotton, pile tar if on tariff, lend billions of government money-all in the hope that commodity price may rise. But when any proposal is put forward that will raise the whole price level, it is common l y considered sacriligeous. There is probably no other sub- ject on which so many people have formed positive convict ions without scientific evil dence.
 When a city is on fire there are only two ways to proceed. One is to let it burn itself out and get ready for the next gen. eration to build a new city; the other is to attempt to put out the fire, even at the risk of some damage from water. Perhaps I should mention a third way of trying to dispose of it by saying that it does not exist.
 Since the general level of commodity prices is the recip- rocal of the value of money, there is no way to raise the price level except as the value of money declines or is low cred by law" Next week:- What Stabiliz- ation Means"

Why College Cap. and Gown.

The movement to have college seniors wear caps and gowns was es- sentially student movement to pro- vide senior badge and to improve the commencement week exercises, take the place of the dress suit and revive the traditions of continuing and related university life. It was approved particularly by the students on account of it's being uniform, which oyercame all differences of dress and made for democracy. It was seen that the gowns aided grace and overcame awkwardness in speaking and that the general effect was to make university functions more characteristic, inter- esting and impressive to all 5eholders.

Why China Honor. Lantern

Many picturesque stories have been handed down about lanterns. The or- igin of the festival of lanterns held annually in China Is ascribed to a popular legend.
 It seems that the beautiful daugh- ter of nobleman leaned too far over a pond one evening and fell into the water. An immediate search was in- stituted, but she could not be found because of the darkness. The noble. man ordered lanterns by whose light the girl was finally rescued. Her father was so thankful for her safe recovery that he ordered the festival of lanterns. custom which has been adhered to ever since. and which Is the scene each year of brilliantly lighted and gay processions, when thousands of lanterns are borne aloft.

WHY:
WHY- Rays of Color Make Rain-
 bow Semicircular.

The secret of the rainbow lies in the individual raindrops. Drops of falling water act like a glass prism in splitting light into it's primary col. ors. The center of the how is always at the same angular distance below the horizon that the sun is above the horizon. Two persons standing near each other do not see exactly the same rainbow.
 The sky is full of raindrops, but a person standing still focuses only one, or one series; if he takes step for. ward or backward his eyes focus lightly different bow.
 There is popular notion that a rainbow Is semicircular because the earth is round. The shape of rain- bow, however, scientists have found, is due to the refraction and reflection of light by the individual raindrops and consequently has nothing to do with the spherical form of the earth. In other words, the rainbow is invari- ably circular because each color is formed by rays which reach the ob- server at a given angle, and this angle remains the same for the same color.
 What is known as the secondary rainbow, often seen outside the pri- mary, is larger and fainter and differs from the other in that the order of the colors is reversed. In this case two internal reflections instead of ons occur fin each drop of water-Sunday Magazine of the Philadelphia Record.

 nations foremost economists. Continued from last week. )
 The effect of rising prices is the same regardless of the cause. If for any reason the price level is restored, it does not mean that all prices will rise equally. Many prices have not declined, or have declined little. Restoring the price lev el would relieve them of the necessity of declining. The major ones are debts and tax es. If commodity prices were raised, buying would begin, be- cause rising prices causes buy ing. Jobs would be available. Houses would be in demand. The debts and taxes on the houses and farms could be paid, and the debts would not have to be cut by bankruptcy.
 The former amount of life in- gurance would be desired.
 Many charges, such as freight rates, doctors fees, telephone rates. and the like, are already adjusted to the price level that would be established. They would not rise, but would be relieved from falling.
 Costs of distribution would rise very little. Therefore, prices paid to farmers and other producers would rise much more than retail prices. This would bring farm prices into adjustment with other prices. It is sometimes said that two steps are necessary first, restore the price level, and second, restore the relat- ionships of farm prices to other prices. If the first step is talk en, the second follows automat- ically.
 Prices of basic commodities, such as copper, corn, wheat, and cotton, would rise very de- cidedly because they are so far below the price level that would be restored. The de- clines in values of homes and farms would be stopped. In general, the prices that have not yet declined would be re- lieved from declining, and those that have declined would
