ALARM----=—PANIC
Whe't would you do in the case of a
fire? Most people know the answer to
this question but how many hve hed to
put their knowledge into use?
In many schools, they hove fire
irills so that the pupils will be in rcad-
imness for -ny emergency that might crise.
waat would you do if Milne suddenly burst
lato flemes? Would you run ond yell and
dd to the confusion,slide down the banis=
cer or jump out of the window? You may
eh now, but never having hod a fire
rill in Milne, I em inclined to think
that you might do one of the things men-+
‘loned above. If the pupils of a school
e trcined, it would bacome second na-
sure to them to w.lk quietly and orderly
sat of the buildthe in the cuse of ae fire.
It is my person] opinion thut fire
irills cre essenti.l to a school. While

Maybe it's the weather or maybe the

are losing too many games, As far as

crowd was on its feet during the whole
last period yelling at top speed, The
two minutes of the fourth quarter +.en
Milne left a little too much room open
and in slipped Rensselaer for two more
baskets, to win 16-12.

job but it's alwcys those last few min=-

CELLULOSE ADUS TO COMFORT,
LENGTH OF LIFE SaYS DR. HOWE
Cellulose is one of the most im
portant materials of research chemistry
from the viewpoint of adding to the con-
venience, c:mfort, and length of life,
according to Dr. Harrison E. Howe, who
was a Speaker ona lecture progrem be=-
fore 1200 honor high school students,
given recently at the American Musoum of
Natural History in New Yors.
Cellulose, which is the fundamental
material of the structure of plants,
comes from many sources, Dre Howe sta-
ted. It may be fibrous material like
cotton linters, or the woody material
of spruce, or it may come from sugar
cane, long leaf pine waste chips, corn-
stalks, or any one of many other sour-
CuSe
Wood was cited as the most import-e
ant source. It is chosen for beauty,
for strength, for oder, it is the raw
material for paper making, one of our
hignly important fndustries, and now it
is being converted by the chemist into
the most varied types of objects which
bear no resemblance to the original mat-
erial from which they are derived.
New types of paper puly are being
develo.ed from cellulose, the speaker
Said, which will both relieve our de-
pendence on foreign countries for sour-
ces of sup: ly and will open up for de-
velopment 4 large section of the south-
eastern United States.
According to Dr. Howe, cotton
enters the rank next in importance to
Spruce as a source of cellulose whioh,
he said may become anything “from liter-
ature to lingerie.” The first conver-
sion problem of the chemist is to get
the cellulose into solution, from which
varicd materials are made.
The objects demonstrated and dis-
cussed included various aspects of
Cellophane cellulose film, rayon, lac-
quercd fabrics, and plastics. Fabrics
made in part or entirely of Cellophane,
included a velvet with metallic plint,
and drapery materials which are becoming
ngly important in decoration.

A BEDTIME STORY
As our story begins, we find our
hero and heroine strolling on "The Beach
at Malibu" or was it Coney Island? At
any rate we find them strolling. The
pale gleam of "Moonglow" surrounds them
and there are no "Clouds", But their
enviorment is noisy as any such place is
with barkers yelling," Take a Number
from One to Ton‘, or fI’m Putting all my
Eggs in One Basxet’ for the last chanoe
this evening." Barbara und Lowell have
been attracted mainly by the merry-go-~
round and we've seen them "Riding on the
Merry-GoeRound" where "The Music Goes
"Round end Around".
"Would You Like to Take a Walk?,"
asks Lowell,always the gallant gentlemen,
of his fair companion. "Well," suys Bar-
bare, "I've ulwoys, always said that'Yru
Gottat be u foot all Hero' to eet on

"I take boxing," answered Lowell
eaberly. ‘Well in that case,*I‘tll String
slong With You,’" said Barbara.
"Gosh, I wish it would rain'Pennies
from Heaven! or something",said Lowell,
SO thet we could have 'Tea on the Terr—
ace’, us he felt his lean wellet.
"Good night," thought Burbura!y'This

"Well, 'Good-night, Sweetheart,”
whispered Lowelle "ill you take this

You know, 'I Like the Likes of Yout",
"Oh, goodness, whet will my brother
say", murmured Barbera. "It's been a'Pe-

And so we lecve Lowell, hitch hik-
