It was very in teresting and held the attention of every listener with both his serious and humorous remarks.
 Tuesday he was again invited up and held a forum with the two his tory classes. Many a curious pupil and teacher asked him questions concerning Europe and present day problems. One of his opinions con- corning the future of Europe was that it would be divided into two parts, the north with Germany and the south with England

Moving Pictures are Shown

Last Tuesday the students from the seventh to the twelfth grades were shown four reels of moving pictures One was about the con- struction of atoms and molecules and how they attracted and repel- led each other. It also showed the breaking up of water and return ing it to it's former states of hy- drogen and oxygen. Another was about the digestion of foods, it showed the foods passing from the mouth to the intestines. There was also a living animal cut open in such a way as to show the motions the stomach and intestines go through in the digestions of foods
 Sock! Riff! Bam! That was the next one, showing the arts of box ing and wrestling from the little kids right up to Man Mountain Dean that slightly heavy, bearded, rough old wrestler of not so long ago.
 Christmas in toyland was the next one and boy was Santa busy! Or was he busy! I don't know if you'd call laughing busy or not but anyway he was laughing very, very hard at the productions of his hard working little dwarfs. Finally he got some toys together and set out for the home of some little boy or girl so that when morning came they would know that Santa Claus did not forget them.
