The first is the filing of a declaration of intention of becoming a citizen or, as it is popularly called, "taking out first papers." The second is the formal petition to a court for admission citizenship; this is "taking out second papers." • • The declaration of intention may be filed at any time after legal en try into the United States as-an hr.- iiiiigrnnt. At least two years must "elapse .between the making of the declaration and the filing of the tinaL petition. It is also provided that a petition for citizenship cannot be filed until the alien has be^li a resident of the country for five years.

Egyptian drawings, dating probably frpm about 3000 B. C., show boats constructed of planks, having sails as well as oars. From ancient sculptures it appears, that the ships of the Greeks and Romans were propelled by wind and oar and were built with keel, ribs and planking, strengthened crosswise by benches on which the rowers sat. The Phoenicians were probably the most skillful mariners of ancient times, and at a very early period had developed a type of war galley. The Vikings of Norway used ships of considerable strength of frame, but very ligLt draft The European nations steadily improved in shipbuilding and the oar was gradually superseded by the sail. Larger and speedier vessels were required for the development of commerce. The development of shipbuilding as a science,- however, may be said to date from the middle of the. Nineteenth century, and to have been a direct result of the use of iron and steel In ship construction and the application of steam to propulsion. . Eyes of Animals Glisten in Bright Light Everyone lias noticed how a cat's or a dog's eyes, when a light is flashed on theiri at nlglit, glisten like little mirrors. But few people know that this glistening Is actually caused b.v a mirror-like substance in the animal's eyes, according to' a bulletin of the Better Vision institute, nor that*this Is the means by which it sees better in the dark than does man. In all of the cat family, in many other animals, and in fish, a light reflecting substance tlines the Interior of the eye, lying just back of the "retina." the network of tiny nerves which receives tli ^pictures of things in the outer world and transmits theui to the brain. The little light fliat is Stirling in the outer world, making things visible pt all, enterk the oat's eye, passes through the retina, where the visual' impression Is registered, and is reflected back again to its .source by the mirror- like lpenibrane, tlere it Is joined by the fresh incoming* light, coming again from the object, until it enters the eye agaiji. Every rAy of light is tlt.tfS utilized again find itgitfri, until it' is absorbed b,v the media through whlyh ft .passes. ' In every human eye there is a similar reflecting, membrane, btit It hns d^gen erated and reflects but little,, light. It is for this reason that human vision is comparatively inefficient in the .da,rk» For motorists and for others, whose rafety at night depends upon the efticiency of their eyes, frequent checkups by eyesight specialists are becoming increasingly necessary.

How Aztec* Recorded Time The famous Aztec calendar stone, now in the National Museum of Mexico, is a blo?k of basalt weighing 25 tons and having a diameter of 11 feet. Encircling the head of the sun god is a diadem bearing hieroglyphics representing the divisions of time and the Aztec method of numbering the years. The number of aays in their year was 365, as in ours. Each year had a different emblem repeated every four years. The first year was called Toehtll, or rabbit: the second,'Acatel, or reed: the third. Teeptal, or flint; the fourth Calli, or house. The years were fufther arranged by thirteens, four such periods making a Mexican age. When the city of Mexico was taken by Cortez in 1521, and the great temple destroyed, the calendar stone was left in the square. It was buried In 1555, and not recovered again until 1790.." > ' - Why Inanimate Objects Are Called "He" "She" It has always been customary to personify certain inanimate objects and attribute to them characteristics peculiar to living creatures. Thus things without life are often spoken of as having sex. Some objects are regarded as masculine. He, him and his are applied to the sun, to winter, to death, etc. Others are regarded as feminine, especially those thingswhioh are dear to us. The earth, as Mother Earth, is regarded as the common maternal parent of all life. Likewise seamen Invariably speak of their ship in the feminine gender. To a sailor a vessel is always she or her. This is because the seafaring man depends upon the ship, and it is dear to him. It is natural that he "should compare# it with woman, man's dearest and cherished friend, from,.„whom he is often long separated by the nature of his employment. In most of the older languages inanimate objects are regarded as having either masculine or feminine gender. Almost invariably the feminine gender is attributed to - boats and ships as welt as vehicles of all kinds.

Ah, that is another matter. The astronomer takes photographs of limited areas, and then counts the number of stars on a square inch of the photographic plate. By averaging the number per square and knowing how large an^area- - of the sky a square inch represents, he multiplies the average by the whole sky area. The result Is estimated at not less than 1,000,000,000.--Kansas f'ltv SU« r . Why Mail Box It Larger Some mail boxes on rural And sub firban routes are larger than others. The routes are privately owned. The Post Office department regulates the size that the boxes are to be con structed and only the authorized size will be accepted by the Post Office de partuient. Small mail boxes have been supplanted by the large size ordered by Uncle Sam. Before parcel post in creased in voltime In recent years small boxes were suitable. However, postal authorities soon found the small boxes were not large enough and tlx size was changed. People were not required to take down the small types until they were inadequate for further use. The new boxes are constructed of sheet iron and are 23 3-1(1 Inches long, 11 inches and 13% inches high. Why It 1» "Nazi" Party "Nazi" is the name given to the Na- AND BELL COUNT HIM OUT In Germany.

Since it is not always possible for homemakers to devote hours to training, it may be well to suggest that there are such tilings as household athletics. These do not have the glamor which Is pres ent when a croup of women don gymnasium suits and practice in a building or on grounds devoted to physical training. Nor are th e e x e r cj s e 8 planned for the particular purpose of developing the human figure arid making it strong.. Nevertheless, they supply bending and twisting, straightening and spiral, S t r e t c h i n g and crouching positions, etc., as decided as thosie required In a t h l e t i c s . E v e r y home maker ' can take advantage of t h e m ' w i t h o u t s p e n d i n g m o n e y and to the advantage of her health and her house. There are few of these household athletics which develop as many muscles and sinews as does dusting--a daily routine. Rungs of chairs, feet of tables, edges of lowest shelves of open bookcases, baseboards about walls, all these have to be dusted and hundreds of other low articles or parts of them. The homeniaker at the task must bend, crouch, and straighten up again. There is exercise for arms, wrists, hands and also for legs and feet, for there is more or less walking about which must be done. Nor Is this all. The woman must stretch sotne to reach toffs of doors, bureaus, and other pieces of tall furniture. She may even have to stand on tiptoes, thus developing the mtiscles oi Ute feet • Exercise in Making Beds. . • When making beds the muscles of arms, legs and back are brought into action, for here again there must be more or less walking and stooping and then the arms are kept in constant movement when pulling covers. up smoothing them and tucking them in. Doing the laundry work Is less of athletic stunt than it used to be, if the electric washer is part of the household equipment. But, even so, there is some action requiring muscular movement. Ironing calls for arm motion, and the continual lifting and pushing hack nnd forth Of the iron calls into play th? muscles of the back as well as arms. It would be possible to go through the whole category of household tasks, viewing them in the lijrht of their gym. nastic values. But it is not so lm* portant to enumerate them as to sug pest how to get the best athletic advantages from them. For instance, wlwn stooping, bend from the waist as often as it is possible, keeping the knees straight. When crouching low. squat, for this bends the knees and keeps them supple. When stretching beware of overstraining the muscles. Use a stool or stepladder for things, that might cause strain. Bend sideways sometimes instead of moving the body as for a forward stoop. Poise and Rfst Keen the, head up >ti(t the baek > The accepted theory Is that the nia- Jority rules. The legality of a vdte depends upon the ballot. If the majority votes yes, the issue Involved is declared constitutional. Public officials are elected by a majority vote of the electors. The power to create bond issues and enact municipal laws depends upon the wilt of the majority. In the final analysis, however,, floes the majority rule? Only a cursory rer view of the power of a minority convinces one that the majority may delepate by vote a eertain power, but it lis impossible for the majority to control that power. For instance, who controls the affairs of a municipality? A smhll minority every time. The will of a corrupt minority is a menace to any community. Who controls the hianagement of a large corporation? The number of stockholders in many cases numbering thousands of persons, have little or nothing to say. That power rests In the hands of a small minority of directors, and their decisions are binding upon the Stockholders who really own the corporation. ' -r • ' In any social group, especially If organized into an association, club, or society, a minority can become the center of a disturbing interest which may not" only cause serious trouble, but result in wrecking the organization. # In Germany, Hitler and his crowd, very small at first, were a decided minority. No one will deny-the power of his leadership in Germany today. When Mussolini began invading Italy with his political philosophy, he represented a small minority. Today he is the dominant power in Italian national life. While the balance of power rests In the hands of a majority, the minority exercises that power as long as the majority is content to delegate it. "There la. sufficient moral power in the majority of citizens to rid any city of corruption. So lonjr as the majority is unconcerned about the moral life of its community, the minority retains the right of way. Who, then, possesses the greater power? The majority, who-by its vote delegates the power, or the minority who exercises it? Which has the greater influence in a nation, city, or society? Is t h e r e no such thing as renunciation, any more? To make life only pursuit of pleasure and Indulgence? Nothing to give up except those we love when deat h takes them?

The saying quoted, "He that hath, to him shall be given," is indeeU true In this instance. By exercising whatever Rapacity of enjoyhient we have, the more power for happiness la given to us.

Since happiness cannot exist when detrimental to others, not tru* happiness, the pleasure ln.it is to.lMf' treasured It Is said of some people that- th«$: have the "gift "of happiness" or thf "gift of enjoyment." Tills is the result of having made the most of whatever capacity they had. It is well to remember that this same thing Is true of unwelcome as welcome things. We must stem whatever capacity for unpleasant things lies within us, if we would draw unto us gifts of happiness.
