dowment of the college.
In announcing the program.
DR.. Lingle said: ave have given
serious thought to the matter
and are presenting as tentative
program an itemized list Of the
equipment and endowment that
should be added to equip col
lego of the size and ideals OF
Davidson in such way as t
enable it to do its best possible
work. 1t may not be possible T.

every department of the college
would be strengthened. Second
the best professors in the coun-

day that the settlement with the
state effected in the matter OF
state income taxes for the years

WHY
People Do Vote for Different
 Parties and Leaders

Scientists of the Carnegie institute at Washington conducted learned investigation into the question of why people of superior intelligence and with the same high purpose of pro- noting good government vote for diff ferent parties and candidates. Of course, says Pathfinder Magazine, 1t Is hard for an enthusiastic partisan to admit that the person supporting an opposing candidate is intelligent, pa- triOtic or even honest. But it Is true and even the excited partisan will concede it after he has cooled down.
 It may be added that voters do not always agree with themselves. Some few start out in support of one can didate and switch to another in ths course of the race. There Is such q mixture of influence-reason, heredity. training, environment, prejudices. per sonallties, words and deeds, emotion pulling at every person that 1t Is hard to understand the result, or to explain why members of the same fam lily often differ.
 The scientists tried an experiment of having several thousand persons taste an identical chemical. Some pro nounced it bitter, others sour, sweet. salty, and even tasteless. It was also found that some people cannot smell the Odor of skunk. So 1t was con- cluded that different persons see. taste smell and view the same things differently.

Why French King Bridge
 Is Given Unusual Name

During the French and Indian war, a party of French and Indians came down the Connecticut river on scout ing expedition, their object being to spy out the most desirable point to launch an attack at A later time. The party was under the command of . French officer. They reached the vlcin- ity of rock as the shades of night appeared. Being of no mind to attempt the passage of the rapids just below the rock in the dark. they made camp on the western bank opposite 1t. Tho rock being the most conspicuous ob- ject which had attracted his notice, the officer wished to mention it in his re- port and fix 1t as something which might be referred to in the futre: hence he staged a ceremony by lighting an altar fire on its top, sprlnkled it with
 water Of the river, and christened 1t French King in honor of his s0v- eretgn. The setback from the dam at Turner Falls now covers all but the top of the rock. It may be seen from the upstream side of the bridge and has been known for years as French King rock hence, French King bridge.

 Asked why they chose to come to Alaska in search of work, Blake explained that they were certain the Territory offered more opportunities for willing young men than any other place. Blake, who is the son of a Phoenix business man, was in the Territory last sum- inner, employed in a cannery. After returning to Seattle at the end of the canning season he determined to return north and become permanent resi- dent, a desire that was also shared by his friend Nelson.

How Smoke Screens Are Laid

There are two distinct types of smoke apparatus which have been de veloped for airplanes. The smoke material used in both types is titanium tetrachlOride. One method of gener- ating smoke is known as the "curtain type" of apparatus. in which the smoke material is discharged from the plane toward the rear at the same velocity as the forward speed of the plane. This results in the formation of large liquid drops at approximately the altitude of the plane. AS these drops fall toward the earth. they slow iy evaporate and react with the mois- ture of the mir to form a dense white smoke, which presents the appearance of a falling curtain. plane of the Martin bomber type can lay curtain approximately 400 feet high.

Why Enginss PuH

An engine puffs, choo. choo, choo. choo, because the steam is exhausted from the cylinders at each stroke of the pistons. The steam. Its work done, Is sent Into that section of the railroad engine known as the exhaust nozzle, and so out through the smoke stack. The fact also accounts for the reason one sometimes feels light moisture coming from the smoke. Were 1t not for the presence of steam with the smoke, there would be no noise and no chOo- -choO. and what would a big, husky, railroad engine bs without it's chOO?
