the DadaiStS and Surrealists have the

can be left for subsequent showing is
unimaginable. A special section is
devoted to the work of children and

have any claim to sanity 1t Is hard
to believe.
None of the exhibits belonging to

within the past 20 years-is intelli-

A LOCAL artist, Miss Virginia Wood,
= daughter of Mr.. and Mrs Waddy B.
Wood, is holding an exhibition at this
time. apd until January !, in the Rein
hardt Galleries. Fifth avenue, New
York. This comprises a large three
panel mural in true fresco, entitled
Isle de France" Portrait of q
Saint" adapted to the same medium,
and cartoons for a mural representing
historic incidents associated with the
town Of New Bern, N. c., and for
mural in the Mckinley High School in
Washington, besides a sketch or two.
These are for the most part ambitious
subjects, involving numerous life-size
figures. They are well drawn and COM
posed, and evidence on the part Of the
artist good training and great SINGER
ity. To be invited to exhibit in the
Reinhardt Galleries is in itself COM

SATURDAYS YESTERDAYS

July 4, 1752-Benjamin Franklin
raised kite during a thunderstorm
at Philadelphia, drew electric sparks
from the rain-saturated string, and
believed he had drawn lightning down
from the storm cloud and discovered
the identity of lightning and electri-
city.
Franklin was doubly wrong. He
hadn't drawn lightning down. The
Storm-clad had inductively excited
the surface of the earth, as is always
the case in storms, and what Frank
lin saw was the electric stream es-
Gaping through the wet string toward
the wet cloud to relieve the tension
set up by induction. And the iden-
tity of Lightning and electricity had
already been discovered by M. Dali
bard, Partisan.
July 4, 1776-Franklin expected
lightning to be drawn down on Phil
adelphia-and he was right this time
as the Continental Congress adopted
the Declaration of Independence.
Many orators and reporters will re-
peat the error of calling this the an
niversary of the signing of Declara-
ton of Independence, which it isn't.
1t was not signed by any of it's adopt
ers until a month later and all of the
signatures weren't affixed for more
than year.
Adoption of the Declaration was
kept secret, and Philadelphians did
not know of it until July s. If Lib
erty Bell rang out on July 4, it was to
summons members of Congress to
their places.
