We understand that this enercisimj of

We hear that the juniors have got
it all sewed-up as far as their play—
ing the seniors for the championship.
It seems as though last Friday, the
juniors and seniors had a little tune-
up game and when I say little I
mean: little! and the juniors won by
18 to 6! My money is on ye juniors.
Team line-up: Juniors: Street. Fox,

has to rest up all the rest of the

Ralph Erisman has a moony look
on his face lately. Can Mary Good-

of it all? One doesn‘t carry a pic~

face as a stone shipped on water and
strike the eye as a mirror reflection
of the light source. The useful
light consists of vertical waves in
the some light beam that penetrate
the surface of the reading matter or
other non~metallic objects, absorb
the message of color and detail, and
convey it to the eye. When Pola-
roid is placed in front of a light
source with its crystalline structure
in a vertical position, all of the light
waves emerge in that vertical plane
while the horizontal, glare-produc-~
ing waves are absorbed by the Pola-
roid.
Variety of Colors

’Special spectacles were employed
“to demonstrate three-dimension, full
color motion pictures. As is the case
in seeing a real object, this set of
lenses enabled each eye to see its
own picture when two images were
projected through Polaroid onto the
screen. Thus, the illusion of reality
was created and the screen appeared
as a window through which the audi-
ence looked at people and objects
with all the depth and color of the
originals.

Colorless sheets of cellophane
placed between sheets of Polaroid
assumed all the colors of the spec-
trum and those colors changed com-
pletely as one Polaroid sheet was ro~
tated. The color, explained Mr.
Wheelwright, is in all normal light
which contains every color of the
spectrum. This combination of Polar
roid and cellophane “sandwich" can
break down the colors, capturing and
holding them in all their‘rich beauty.
The colors can be controlled by vary-
ing‘ the thickness of the central plas-
tic material.

 

Used in Auto Headlights ‘;
In addition to the few applica-
tions possible of demonstration in
the limited period of his lecture, the
scientist advised that more than 800'
other uses were listed for Polaroid,
notably the elimination of automo-
bile headlight glare. Polaroid sun
glasses have been made available to
the public in the past year, he said‘,
and these not only eliminate glaring
reflections but employ another qual-
ity of the material in absorbing the
harmful ultra-violet rays that the op
tical profession regards as most
damaging to the eyes.

hiiiflti is the word that host «Martha’s
Chesterfieldis can lmhewcopied Menu?

It is the atom summation of mild ripe
homeugrown and aromatic Turkish . . . the

the toast and coffee. And when the
Chicago Tribune spends so much of
its efforts denouncing and deriding
the reds in Washington and most
every state capital, it’s a cinch we’re
either on the brink of revolution or
we’re being fooled. l plainly think
it’s the latter. I personally feel
we’re for closer to fascism, although
the latter term is loss inciting and
its danger more difficult to compre—
hend than is the conatatine term—
communism.

Nor let it be misunderstood. I do
not promote or even approve com-
munism. I sternly believe in democ-
racy, social and economic. To find
the truth about things we must be
permitted to investigate them. Corn-
munism thrives on oppression. If we
don’t want it, let’s look into it and
educate ourselves as to its undesire-
ability. It’s imminenee to us is far
over played by the Chicago Tribune.
That paper would lead its indiscrimi—
nate and gullible readers to believe
we were undermined with a deadly
charge of communistic powder that
momently threatens to blast us into
bloody revolution. This is absurd.
The party and its activities are both
small and almost innocuous.

NOT ONLY concerning commun-
ism, but with reference to every
question of nationwide importance
and interest, we should demand the
facts and permit ourselves to become
educated about those forces and in~
stitutions that are in the world to-
day. The ultimate ironic settlement
of the world’s problems comes not
through falscness, misrepresentation
and propaganda, of which the Chi—
cage Tribune is a flagrant example,
but rather through the education of
the nation by a policy of truth in her
newspaper reporting among other

 

things.
