When children go away to camp they get extra shorts and. T-shirts but too many many send along the youngster's current pair of shoes, even if pair of yrunning shoes -- and that's all, That way lies trouble say the foot specialists. Whether a child is going away to camp or just running around on the farm or . on city streets, summer time is fthe most active period of the year -- with, lots of running, jumping and climbing. It:chil- dren's shoes are the wrong kind or too small, growing feet can be affected. 2 That's why. foot specialists make this recommendation to parents: 1. Make sure your child is wearing a well-fitted shoe dur- ing the summer -- whether he stays at home or goes away to camp.or cottage. The best shoe for the rough and tumble of Summer play is- an all-leather oxford. It should have a flexible leather upper and sole, since leather supports active feet, without binding them. : 2. Take your' youngster to a reputable shoe dealer and have his shoes checked. If 'they are last year's shoes, the chances are they will be outgrown before 'summer is over. If the dealer finds _ that = there's. not much growing room left, better be on the safe side and order another pair one-half size larger. 3. Explain to your boy or girl | the importance of well-made - shoes -- and of taking care of shoes or provide them. Runnin g "sneakers" do not adequate support young feet. In addition, the can- vas uppers, which are filled with starch to keep. them in shape, and the heavy rubber soles; pre- vent' feet from "breathing". Blisters, chafing, and fungus in- fections thrive on hot moist feet~ Leather will permit free passage of air through its microscopic pores, a: Also, and very important, the incidence of tetanus and other infections from wounds is at its height during the summer, especially when children run around. in the countty where the proximity of livestock creates a tetanus hazard. Leather soles, according to testing laboratories, will provide four times as much protection against penetration of nails, sharp stones and other pointed objects _as rubber or composition soles. A boy's or girl's summer can be ruined by aching or- disabled feet.

RONICLES Taavser FARM An 'unsual visitor has - been coming to our kitchen window quite persistently . for the. last "few days. It was raining and a cold wind blowing the first time I saw the barely persistible flutter of tiny wings. 1 just couldn't believe * my eyes for what would entice a humming bird out in such awful weather? Time and time again_ it came back to the window. Had it been possible 1 would have let it in as I. thought perhaps it was | looking for shelter. But what would I have done with a hum-* ming bird in the house? So 1 worked on another idea. 1 mixed up some brown sugar and wa- ter in a little flat dish and put it on the outside of the kitchen window-sill, Whether. this most - |, has - fascinating of little: birds partaken of my homemade nec- tar I don't knows "but at least it still flutters around the window several times a day. At the back of the house we have a chest- nut tree in bloom so probably that is what attracted our little . bird. Some birds have black marks against their characters for such things as eating small fruits, grain and garden sceds. The lit- tle hummer is one bird that does only good. As we all know it loves to suck nectar from sweet - scented flowers but it also likes to. feed _on small flies, gnats, undersized bees and wasps and other inscets that hover in and around the flower beds that big- ger birds might not bother with at all. a You know, some people say you can't hope to have birds around the house if you 'keep cats. I have said it before and I say it again -- that just isn't so. At least, not on a farm. You have better hunters than-- our Mitchie-White and Black Joe. They spend half their . time in the fields watching for miceé and young rabbits, and in winter time they hunt mice and pigeons in the barn -- rats, too, if there are any but never bother the birds in the garden, not even the starlings and robins. The other day Mitchie was sitting on the front step; from the other side of the door I watched to see what he would do as I knew there were fledglings in and . around the shrubbery trying their wings Inside of ten minutes I saw sev- eral little canaries, two wee chickadees, a perky little wren, one robin -- and of course a scattering of sparrows and star- lings, all hopping and scratch- ing around on the grass, but Mitchie never even bothered to look at them. Presently he jumped "off the stop stalked ac- "ross the backyard. and on to- wards the hayfield. Oh dear -- I'm slipping! Mr X. has been at it again and I forgot: to mention it.

The pro- secuting attorney glared at her. "I'll repeat my question," he thundered, "Where were you on the night of October 13th?" The witness hung her head. "Oh, pleasé don't ask me, that" she murmured. "I can't tell you." The prosecutor stiffened, "You must tell us," he roared. "Stop stalling. Where were you on the night of October 13th" The beautiful damsel blushed. "All right," she assented finally, "If you must know, I'll tell you, I was at home, 'working out a crossword puzzle." : The prosecutor's eyes almost popped from his head. "Is that anything to be ashamed of?" The blonde hung her head still lower. "Cettainly it is," she sob bed.

It was. Galileo who made the first "attempt to measure it. He had - ° two observers some miles apart night, and gave each a on a clear lantern which gould be-covered ° 3 She observer was: 'by a green. to uncover his lantern, and the other, as soon as he saw the first observer's 'light, was to uncover his. - The period between the un- covering of a light and the time it was seen was to be measured. Galileo found, however, that light traveled so rapidly that the dis- tance between the two observers was too small for its speed to be measured. : The Danish astronomer Ole Roemer, working in Paris, made the first real estimate of the speed of-light in 1676, and came to the conclusion that it was 192,000 miles a second, a figure "later proved to be, remarkably enough, approximately ~ correct. He noticed, in observing the eclipses of the moons of Jupiter, that the intervals between the eclipses of one moon were not always the same, being. 16 minutes, 26 seconds greater at one time of the year than at an- other. He decided that this dif- ference could not be due fo any real difference in the period of the eclipses, but must be caused by the greater or lesser distance .over which the light had to travel from Jupiter to -the earth when the earth was at different parts or its orblt, and therefore nearer -to or farther from Jupiter. In this he was quite right, Various methods of measuring the "speed of light have been addpted since, and they all give practically the same. figure. Two great French scientists, . Fizeau and Foucault, about the middle of the last century did the pion- eer: work. They flashed beams of light back and farth between systems of mirrors and lenses. Fizeau interrupted the beam by the teeth of a revolving cog- wheel; Foucault made one of the mirorg revolve.' In gach case speed of light was ca from the speed of the cog-y or of the mirror, but the . method is too-complicated: to be . 'described. . \ The greatest modern measured of the speed: of light was al Abrab } Michelson. Nearly his ke Michelson worked on this great problem. While still a young officer serving as instruct- or 'of physics at the Annapolis Naval Academy, he greatly im- _ proved Foucault's method and obtained much more accurate re- sults. This was in 1878. -- In 1924 Michelson resumed his work on the speed of light. He flashed light back and forth be- tween various California moun.» tain peaks, over a distance of as much as 88 miles. - In 1926 he an- nounced the speed of light as. 186.285 miles a second. Later, Michelson built an enormous . vacuum tunnel, a mile long, for .his experiments, Now that he was independent of atmosphereie conditions, he hoped to find the speed of light .more accurately. Later experiments bave seemed to indicate that the speed of light is about 186270 miles a second. This figure may be changed as time goes on, for with better in- - struments and methods, scientists will undoubtedly get more ao- curate results.-- From The Book of Knowledge. Baldness There are three main reasons for the loss of hair. Disease is one of them, particularly dis- ease of the scalp. The wearing of tight hats. is another. fit closely, so that the blood does not circulate freely and nourish the hairs. The most important reason for baldness is probably hered- ity. Baldness is a familiar trait, and little can be done to prevent loss of hair if the trait runs in a family. Men are more apt to be bald than women. Hy Melodrama In Berlin Everyone knows that a Holly- wood "western" is not to be taken as a strict representation of life in either the old or new West... But not everyone seeing a Hollywood melodrama laid ih - present-day Berlin realizes that. he is not seeing an accurate pic- ture .of 'that extraordinarily vivid and significant city, where the West challenges the East in daily, intimate contact. The point is worth making be- cause of its implications. No one expects melodrama to 'stick too closely to facts, but in a cold war that could explode into world-wide devastation even melodrama owes a certain re- "spect to truth, conscience and re- sponsibility. , Some time ago a Hollywood film was shot in Berlin for the "sake of authenticity," It has since then been shown in the United' States, but when Berlin audiences recently saw it they greeted it with sardonic laughter, It was not merely that the pic- ture was full of small inaceur- acies and distorted the relations between the East and West sec-- tors of the city. It went so far as to indicate that the kidnaping of GIs from the western sectors is' a common occurrence. > Now everyone knows that the Communists are ruthless and can cold-bloodedly use any weapon that suits their purpose. A few highly publigized kidnap- ings of German anf East Euro- pean anti-Communists from West Berlin have occurred, and' per- haps others which have not re- ceived publicity, And Americans, including GIs, who have got into trouble .in the East sector or zone have been held by the authorities for varying lengths of time. There is material for a score of melodramas in the actualities of what is inherently a melodramatic situation, But the fact remains that the Communists are not kidnaping GIs from West Berlin, and to suggest, with "a great air of authenticity, that' they are, igs to 'be guilty of the same sort of dis- honesty that the West resents in anti-American Soviet plays and films. 'If a Hollywood producer can go to all the trouble of hav- ing a film shot in Berlin in order to catch the heartbeat of: the cold war, he can surely take the trouble not' to heat up that war for his own private . purposes. > --From the Christian Science Monitor. Have you noticed that many right-handed girls tend to be. come left-handed after | getting engaged? , - Therefore, How Glue Acts When glue is warmed, it changes its form gradually from the solid to the liquid 'state. It does not change with. the speéd of ice melting into water. Sub- stances' that melt gradually are called. viscous substances, an- .other way of saying that their molecules tend to stay together. Molasses is another viscous sub- stance, You know the expres- sion "He. is' as slow as molasses" in January." 'This refers to the - fact that in cold weather mo- lasses runs out of a jug very. slowly. Its molecules tend to stay together, The force that holds molecules of a substance together is called cohesion, Glue has another force, that of adhesion, by which Men's hats its molecules will stick 'to, or" adhere to, molecules of other substances, such as wood, and cloth and paper.
