Random Notes

Among the bills passed yesterday by the
Colonial Council was enc to provide well
in the vicinity of GATHERINGS Rest. This
will be public well and the sum granted,
100000 should cover the cost of drilling
the well and setting up the mill.
In the dry period the people in that dis
trict suffer through the lack of water They
have appealed repeatedly for water sup
ply but, hitherto their petitions had been
unsuccessful
A bill providing money from the lmmi
grafton Fund for the continuation of cane
cultivation in the island was passed. This
bill is an old friend, which visits the
Council annually and has been the
savior of the sugar cane INDUSTRY at times
when there was no other source from
which relief could be expected.
Another Bill provided for loans from the
immigration Fund for the homesteaders at
Estates Rattan and Bel. edere
A Bill making possible the employment
of additional teachers was passed. Five
graduates from the Senior High School will
now be taken on the staff
he Council could not finish the volume
of business b fore 1T and adjourned in the
evening.
We learn that Mr.. Selwyn Fleming will

Lines That Ayent What They

Comes To AAte'1ng Il Figure

citation with the familiar, tells the
eye what to see. However, let's
not go psychological, let's consid-
er only how these mystifying op-
tical illusions have their practical
application in everyday life.
Take clothes, for instance. Most
of us now know, thanks to the ed
ucational work of fashion advis-
ers, that if short, stout people
wear clothes with vertical stripes
or pronounced vertical lines they
appear taller and simmer than
they are. And that too tall, lanky
gal, in a dress with crosswise
stripes or predominantly horizon
tai motifs, like ruffles, seems less
tall and therefore more gracefully
proportioned. Why? Just another
optical illusion. Make series of
vertical and horizontal lines to fill
perfect squares and see how the
squares appear to lose their
squareness. The one with the ver-
Imperial Valley press., 1936-03-22

a woman who is tall and thin
should not wear upturned brims
or jaunty Robin Hood quilts.
TNEMY curves in the hips look
e more deadly with conspicuous
belts or peplums; a tall, slim fig
ure looks like 'long drink" in
clothes with marked vertical
lines. Figure 2 proves these points.
And believe it or not, the two
vertical lines in Figure 3 are per-
fectly straight, but see how the
radiating lines make them look
as If they bulge! This shows what
happens to the figure when you
wear designs which by drapery or
trimming suggest such lines.
One more visual trick which
has its practical application: In
Figure 4, although the central
circles are identical in size, they
look unequal. Surrounded by
smaller forms, the circle looks
larger; in the midst of bigger
forms than itself, the circle looks
smaller.
This gives you a canny illustra-
tion of the capricious effect of big
and little accessories in dress. Big
earrings, heavy bracelets. jum-
bo-size purse dwarf small, frail
woman. And everybody knows
how ludicrous is the picture of a
large woman leading a cute little

atom is, it is a very small piece
of something, so little that not
even microscope can see it, and
this nucleus, as it turns out, is
nothing more or less than a little
island in the middle of same, and
this scientist drew picture of it,
only greatly enlarged, of course,
and l said:
But, if nobody has even seen
one, how do you know it looks
like that?" And he answered,
Don't be irrevelant," or some
thing of the kind, which / judged
by the tone of his voice meant
he didn't know either. But l let
it go.
Well, it seems that after this
DR.. Livingood has been hitting
this bismuth with these nuclei, if
any, for a while, then all of a
sudden the first thing he knows
it is not bismuth any more, but
radium.
So I said, "You mean it isn't
worth anything?" and he said,
mo, not very much, not nearly as
much as it costs to make it," and
l said:
well, then, what does he do it
for?" And he said it was scien-
tific research, as if that settled
everything, but 1 wasn't going to
be put off that way, so I said:
But why doesn't he do some
thing useful, such as put a piece
of wood in this machine and fire
at it until it turns into a pair Of
chiffon stockings, or -"
But he put that look on his
face like a man teaching dog
to jump over stick, and re-
marked something about progress
being slow and painful, and etc,
and this was science, not magic,
but it seemed like foolishness to
me and I said 80. And then / said:
1T stands to reason this man
is silly anyway, and you know if
he really can hit little piece of
bismuth with these nuclei, like he
says, why he would not be fool
ing around in any laboratory"
Well, / knew | had him with
that, and l guess he knew it, too,
because he just put on high
brow look, shifted and departed.
