Be sure that YOU reading lamp
is properly placed. Just beyond the
elbow is the correct location for a
floor lamp beside an easy chair. If
you read at a desk, the lamp should
be placed in front at the left, if you
are right-handed. Or at the right
if you are left-handed.
Don't forget to sit up straight
| when you read. Some adults carry
over from childhood bad posture
habits which were probably &C
CURED because the light they used
then was weak or glazing. .
Safeguard Your Eyesight
Also, before you lose yourself in
the trials and %tribulations Of some
beautiful-eyed heroine of the latest
novel, there's one more point to
consider for the sake of your own
eyes
And that's quality of light.
You can have lots of light . and
still not be protecting your eye
sight, if it glares. Good light for
reading is abundant light, without
glare and without sharp contrasts.
Glare is avoided with the new
type of acknowledgement lamps
which are made by many manufac-
turers. A translucent bowl beneath
the shade is an aid to eye comfort
since it softly and evenly distri-
butes light both DIP and down.
Always remember, too, that for
really comfortable reading there
should be some general lighting
throughout the Dor as well as To-
Called lighting at your chair.

A N easy chair and comfortable
~ lighting are always an invitation
to open some of the books you've
been wanting to read.
Those new books, for example,
that everyone's discussing. And
some of the old ones that you once
read because you had to" and
that you'd like to read again be-
cause you'd really appreciate their
richness now.
Scientists who have carefully
studied our lighting needs for read
ing, make the following suggestions:
Before you settle down to those
hours of pleasure, see that the
lighting is good for yorr eyes.
Lighting that is adequate, ever and
~glareless, %conserves normal eye
sight. 1t provides added benefits
for defective eyesight.
Alertness (Which we need fol-
some of the heavier torpes!) is stimu-
lated by good lighting.
Light Magnifes
Many persons do not know that
light is a magnifer of small details
A dot must be twice as large to be
seen with the same ease under one
footcandle Cor measure) of light as
it would need to be under one hun
dred footcandles of light.
That's one of the reasons why
abundant light makes it easier for
us to read.

Shenberger Leads

Feature Discussions
From The Pioneer)

Albert Shenberger, president Of
the Adelphians, led the club in its
first meeting of this year. Tn
group met in DR.. Faust's home

Mr.. Shenberger, the members of the
organization who are seniors will

posed and approved that each lead
er should give a short sermon OF
"sermonette'', as it is sometimes
called, at his meeting. The entire
group, it is planned, will then criti-
CHE the sermon. By this means
these prospective ministers hope to
improve their delivery, and thus BE-
come the leading ministers of the
coming age.
DR.. Faust presented to the group
a plan for using the most modern
topics for their discussions. He
gave a list of subjects that are now
in use on many other campuses.
The Adelphians agreed that these
problems would be used in Their fu-
ture discussions.
In the meeting, Mr.. Shenberger
introduced the freshmen members
to the older Adelphians and inform
ed the new group about the clubs
deputation work. At hat time two
of the members were appointed to
fill vacated teachers positions for
the Sunday schools of Salisbury
churches.
Later this week arrangements
were made with the officials at the
prison camp permitting the group
to conduct meetings at the camp
two Sundays every month. The
first of these was last Sunday. Mr..
Shenberger, Mr.. Moss and other
Adelphians attended.

Maggiolo Intercepts Pass
And Scampers for
Touchdown
From The Pioneer)

The Catawba Indians invaded
Virginia last weekend, and took
the Hampden-Sydney Tigers over,
1910. This was the second Indian
invasion into foreign territory and
their first win.
The Tigers kicked off, and the
ball was taken by Sammy Pritchard
on his own five and he returned it
70 the thirty-five before being
downed. Both teams failed to gain
much territory on plays, so they
took to punting.
In the second quarter Catawba
threatened the Tiger goal, but the
gun which ended the half came to
their rescue. The Indians had the
ball on Hampden-Sydney's one
yard line with four downs in which
to put it over, but the gun barked
before the first play could be start
ed.
Catawba scored seven points in
the third quarter. After the kick
off, the Tigers took possession of
the ball on the Indians thirty.
After three plays failed, they punt
ed out of bounds on Catawba's
eleven. From this point the Indian
drive started and it did not cease
until u warriors marched eighty
nine yards for a touchdown
Charley Clark and Sammy Pritch-
ard were the principle ball toters
of the drive. Enoch Goodman
made good the try for the extr:
point.
In the final quarter Tony Mag.
giolo intercepted a Tiger pass, anc
galloped forty five yards for
touchdown. This was the fina
score of the game.
Catawba completed six passes
out of eighteen for a distance Of
156 yards, and they made twelve
first downs.

The estimated yield Of this years
corn crop was pushed up $1,000
600 bushels above the September

October l was 1,509,362,O0O
bushels, which would lift the 1886
yield out of its threatened rank as
the shortest crop in more than half
a century.
The new corn forecast placed
this years crop above that of the
drought year of 1884 when it wa:
1,47S,027,o0o bushels. But the
total still was far below the 1885
