Brain TWizzIers By Prot. ,. D. Flint

One of the Six-day bicycle racers kept himself in condition on home made course in the country near his home. The course was a little rough in spots but he considered 1t an advantage because it made a regulation track seem easy. One section of the practice course was very hilly. The rider found that one complete trip around took two hours and fifteen minutes. His rate of speed on the flat part of the course was sixteen miles per hour. Uphill his rate was twelve miles per hour and downhill twenty-four miles per hour. How far was it around the course?

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-06

HIGH school students fret over
 their problems in algebra, ura- aware of the debt they owe to a young Norwegian genius of a cen- tury ago. It was Niels Henrik Abel who clarified. the funda. mental algebraic equations to the point where they could be applied over wider fields. He was the first to show that the more involved algebraic equations could not soe solved by any other than the more advanced methods,
 Born in Findoe, Norway, in 1902, Abel lived only 27 years. Yet in that time he had finished a course of study in the University of Christiania, and two years in Berlin and Paris, before becoming an instructor in mathematics at the university and military school in Christiania.
 Many mathematical terms are traced to his name, because of the original work he did. After his death. the Norwegian government issued two volumes of his prob-
 sms,sS,sSs,ym lens and theories. k '|13'i|ls||l'a !l!1 In 1929, Norway E &es & 1 produced a set of

The trouble with girls today
is that they hand out so many
"free samples" of their kisses
that a man never feels it neceS-
sary to put in his order for a
complete stock Of them.
When a man tries to corner
the market" on a popular girls
dates her stock always promptly
goes up.
A man may quarrel with a
girl and still adore her; but
when he loses his zest for
MAK1NG-UP afterward, his
love is definitely dead and
ready for embalming.
Some newlyweds car scarcely
get from the altar to the sta
ton without an argument
and the honeymoon is merely
a succession Of reconciliations.
When a bachelor plans q
course Of reading" and sticks
to it, it is usually a sign that
the course of his last love-affair
has been completed-and that
he Is temporarily through

No two women can be more
chummy and sympathetic than
those who have been divorced
from the same man; but when
two men have been divorced by
the same woman, each seems to
think scornfully Of the other as

nature"-which proba bly,
accounts for the fact that it
usually takes at least two

Fire Wagons Too Large

Just a few lines about the
D. c. Fire Department and the
kind of fire apparatus they have
been getting in the past few
years. I think the fire wagons
are too large for some of the
streets and alleys they have to
go through.
Other large cities have smaller
fire wagons. The city fire fight
ers association should ask Con.
gress to pass a law not to allow
any fire company to make bids
for D. C. fire apparatus unless it
can provide all modern improve
ments.
Engine companies IA, 4 and IL
have new apparatus without red
warning lights and no wind
shields. Engine companies 1, z,
20 and % have no exhaust
whistles. All these are necessary.
The fire department is not to
blame as it is forced to accept
the lowest bids. In the past few
years the department has bought
equipment from four different
companies. Why doesn't Con-
gress allow the District enough
money to buy equipment from
the one CT two companies that
make only good fire apparatus?
AS it is now, if anything goes
wrong the fire companies must
send away for parts which some
times take two or three months
to replace. A CITIZEN.

LOudys
Legislators generally pooh.
poohed the idea as absurdly i'm.
practical when 1t was advanced
last session. But on the eve
of the committee meeting 207 of
them (nearly half the House,
had signed up for it.
A New England legislator ex-
plains why. He has received
5000 letters from his district
within the past month, urging
him to sign. He dares to con-
tinue withholding his signature,
but the heat is making him mop
his collar.
Frankly, many a House signer
will tell you he does not believe
the proposal is any less imprac-
tical now than it was a year ago,
but national polls have shown
upwards of 10 per cent of the
people are for it, and 1898 is
a campaign year.
NEVERTHELESS, the resolu-
~ tion is likely to remain only
an indication Of the length to
which a lot Of people will go in
backing anything with an "anti-
war" tag. The two-thirds vote
necessary for adoption as a con-
stitutional amendment are lack
ing and likely to remain lacking
for these reasons:
Several proponents have testi-
fled a week Eould be required
to hold a referendum, but no
authority on refersnda was
called as a witness at the last
Congressional hearing. No def.
mite arrangement for a referen-
dunn is carried in the resolution,
though none has even been held
in the country.
In an effort to get around this
obvious danger of leaving the
country at the mercy of an
enemy for an indefinite period,
Representative Ludlow, author
Of the plan, has written in a pro-
vision untieing the hands of the
President and Congress in case
Of invasion.
This does not satisfy objec-
tions. AS everyone knows, a
quick offense may be the best
defense. Swiftness of move
ment carries tremendous ad-
vantages in modern warfare.
What the prospective enemy
might be doing with his week or
more of grace is not envisioned
by the resolution. At least it
does not require him to remain
idle. No consideration is given
the possibility of a close vote, a
recount, a certification of the
results, the effect of a week of
speculative doubt upon the
economic and financial systems
Of the country.
Consequently most authorities
outside Congress consider the
well-intended scheme as a pos
Sible danger to the safety of the
country. Their view is that if
the people do not have enough
confidence to trust their elected
representatives, something more
than referenda is needed.

article in which the warden
blamed the church and social
agencies for the crime condition
in America, I must still agree
with the warden, because:
When you see many churches
having card parties, bingo par.
ties, dances, etc., it makes one
think Of that text in 2 Timothy,
3:5, which says: Having a form
Of godliness but denying the
power thereof; from such turn
away" when the popular
churches of today come to the
point where they need the State
to pass blue laws to help drive
the people to church, there is,
indeed, something lacking in the
spiritual makeup of that body.
