Technical High School* Double.
Ki.qijllnient In German universities
as a Yqbhnle has shown an Increase of
;iO pee'eent since the war, and that of
the technical high schools hus more
than doubled. Just before the war
there were CO,OCX) university students
In Germany. At the armistice the ag
gregate Jumped to 99.000. There hus
since been a slight falling off. Tech
nical high schools were handling
12,000 before the war. In the au
tumn of 11)20 tlielr students numbered
22,070. and last winter 25,556.

Old Sol Rises Defore Ho Is Up and
Sets Before It Goes Down—Bent
Rays of Light Account for
This Paradox.
Washington.—A rainstorm dries the
air; more goes up than comes down;
as the sun sets the air grows warmer;
the hotter the sun grows, the colder
the earth becomes; he sun rises be
fore It Is up and sets after It Is down;
these uife strong statements uml sound
like a fairy tale, but they are all true.
I.)r, W. .1. Humphreys, quoted In the
annual report of the Smithsonian In
stitution which has Just been muile
public, explnlns ull of them. They are
perfectly well known to scientists, if
not to laymen.
As everyone knows, Dr. Humphreys
declares, water evaporutes and Is
taken up in the air as vapor. This ac
tion Is continuous all over the earth
ami the atmosphere would soon be
come very soggy If It weren’t dried
out. Hu In Is the collection, or con
densation, and precipitation of these
moisture particles, consequently the
more It rains the less wuter there Is
left In the atmosphere, or the drier
the air becomes.
Contradicts Old Saying.
The second of Dr. Humphrey’s para
doxes seems flatly to contradict the
old saying "whatever goes up must
come down." However, ns the writer
expresses it, vertical circulation In the
ntmosphere Is only gravitational ac
tion, consisting In the sinking of rela
tively cold and therefore dense air,
ami rising of warm and light air. Con
tracted air descends, expanded air
ascends. Therefore, mass for mass,
the volume of ascending air Is always
larger than that descending.
The third paradox Is merely a way
of stating that the warmest part of
the day Is not at noon, when the sun
Is at meridian or overhead and should

jcal engineering, which 8,806 now are

'foiled, against 1,307 before the wur.
Mining, and smelting have registered a

nical pit-hoots, has shown a decline.
Of 23 universities only four have
shown a smaller enrollment than In

founded In 1914, now having 4,367 stu-
(dents,' and the Universities of Co
logne and Hamburg, both founded In
1919, which have enrollments of 4,107
anil 3,000, respectively. The largest
- registration Is In the University of Ber
lin, with 12,724, as computed with
8,538 in 1914.

and heat, hut several hours later In the
afternoon. That Is because the sur
face of the earth and the lower lay
ers of air continue to absorb more
heat from the upper layers for some
time after the latter huve been re ;
cclvlng the maximum amount of heat
radiation from the sun.
While It Is not yet universally con
ceded that the next puzzler, “the hot
ter tlie sun, the colder llie earth,"
really is true, Dr. Humphreys states,
the evidence In favor of It Is already
very strong.
Another Paradox Explained.
The paradox of the sun rising be
fore It Is actually up and setting after
It has actually gone down Is explained
by the bending of light waves when
•passing through the air. A stick when
placed In clear water seems to bend;
a fight ray when sent through the air
does actually bend. The rays from
the rising sun are bent when they
strike the air envelope. This angle
varies according to well-known laws,
but on the average the light from the
sun Is bent 34 V4 seconds of degree, so
thut the upper llmh of the sun when
first sqjen Is actually half a degree be
low the horteon. As the angular diam
eter of either sun, moon or stnr is less
than this fraction It follows that when
the sky Is sufficiently clear the whole
I of either may be seen before even Its
! topmost portion Is geometrically above
the horizon.
Contradicts Old Saying.
While the reverse Is not absolutely
correct astronomically, It la added,
when sun, stnr or moon set, because
of the slight modification of refraction
due to earth rotation, nevertheless the
difference Is exceedingly slight. Con
sequently, as the light rays nre bent
upward by earth's atmosphere the sun
has actually gone down before It Is
seen by a terrestrial observer.
Wife of Washington Diplomat Cives
Interesting Picture of One of These
Court Functions—Finda
Queen Beautiful.
London.—There has been keen
rivalry among Americans In London to
gain entrance to King thorge and
Queen Mary's court levees, which have
been revived for the first time In eight
years. Colonel Harvey, the American
ambassador, has boon Inundated with
requests, pleas and prayers from
Americans of all ranks “to see whnt
the king and queen look like.”
Every sort of argument has been
advanced by the petitioners, and the
ambassador has found It difficult to
choose between those legitimately en
titled to a boning acquaintance with
the king and queen, and mere tourists
or "social climbers” who want some
thing to write home about or to put
In their diaries.
Dracrlbad by American Woman.
Among the fuvored American women
who were permitted to bend their knee
before George and Mnry was the wife
of a Washington diplomat, who has
given the following description of the
function:
“The dominating and most lasting
Impression was the appearance of the
queen. I had been led to expect from
photographs and published descrip
tions that she was of a severely
matronly type. Instend, she seemed
to be perfectly beautiful; In fnct,
superb In her regalness, and wenrlng
her magnificent Jewels like flowers.
Her face hud nothing of the pictured
severity, but rudlated the kindliest
of smiles as I passed and courtesled.
"The court was everything I had
Imagined it would be In pomp and
grandeur, but throughout it all there
was a wonderful human note. The
king and queen seemed delighted to
welcome us. Of hauteur there was
none; In fact, the manner in
which the queen and Princess Mary-
kept chatting and laughing during the
Intervals seemed to indicate that the
members of the royal family were
enjoying themselves as much ns we
were.
“Machinery Is Wonderful."
“The machinery of the ceremonial
was so wonderful, so perfect in Its
apparent effortlessness, that there
really was no reason to he nervous
White-gloved hands were always ready
to arrange our trains, to point the
route we were to go, to hold us for u
moment, or Indicate that we should
proce«-l. It was impossible to do the
wrong thing. The enrtsy before the
king, then a few steps and another
curtsy before the queen, and the
presentntloh was over before I re
alized It.
"The difference between the court
and a presidential -eceptlon at Wash
ington la essentially one of background
and size. We lack the brilliance of
uniforms and decorations, but we ex
cel, 1 think, In the beauty of our wom
en and the elegant simplicity and quiet
dignity of the dress of our men."

in the world wouldn’t have taken Poor Richard to a movie,
bought him a flivver, paid his street car fare. Those
pennies of a hundred years ago were not as big in buy

But Poor Richard’s advice is still good. And It Is no
less valuable when applied to dollars instead of cents.
Every year you spend a large proportion of the money
you earn. So much for clothing. So much for shoes.

Vancouver, B. C.—An Indian treaty
bowl, weighing 600 ponnds, and said
to he the largest lu existence, was
found at Nlmlsh, 100 miles north r,f
here.
The relic, whl-h Is said to be more
than five hundred years old. Is fifteen
feet long and wus made by Indians
using stones uud axes. The howl
which was the center of an Interest
ing Indian ceremony, was called by
the aborigines, “The Mother of the
Five Tribes."
These tribes would meet to discuss
hunting laws and tribal boundaries,
and on such occasions the howl was
filled with some kind of liquor. After
the conference the chiefs would take
a smaller bowl tilled with the liquor
hack to their councilors. If the terms
agreed on for a treaty were approved,
the liquor was accepted.

THe new Goodyear
Cross-Rib Tread Card
A Popular-Priced Cord Tire
Without a Rival
' The new Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord Tire is built with
genuine high-grade long-staple cotton as a foundation.
It is liberally oversize—the 4V£-mch tire, for example,
measuring nearly 5 inches.
The deep, clean-cut, cog-like pattern of its tread affords
excellent traction even in snow and mud, engaging the road
like a cogwheel.
The scientific distribution of rubber in this tread—the wide
center rib and the semi-flat contour—gives a thick, broad
surface that is exceedingly slow to wear.
This new tire is a genuine Goodyear through and through
—in design, in material, in construction.
It costs less to buy than the net price you are asked to pay for
many long discount” tires of unknown reputation and value.
Why be satisfied with less than this efficient tire can give-
why take a chance on an unknown make?
