Think It Over During Fire Prevention Week October 7-13. LIFE SECRET A movie, showing how a chicken comes to life and de- velops in the egg, is thrown on a screen by Dr. Charles F. Herm. It reveals the changes that take place from the beginning of incubation until the chicken’s heart starts beating. * = This super-scientific movie was made by carefully remov- ing a small piece of the eggshell and covering the opening with a glass window. Then a movie camera, operated by a time clock, every 10 minutes flashed a light through the win- dow and snapped a picture. After 33 hours, the chick’s heart was beating — and the camera had taken about 200 separate pictures, 10 minutes apart. 4 Then the slowly taken film is flashed on the*screen and shows the whole process in a matter of seconds. It’s a re- verse of the ultra-rapid-camera movies you’ve seen, showing a slow-down of a golf stroke or a pole vaulter in action. The egg movie isin a class with similar films of a bud turning into a flower. DETROIT Kresge Bldg. = Dr. Herm also exhibits movies of oysters developing from the life cell, and so on. Changes that cannot be ob- served by the human eye even with a microscope, due to the element of time, are in this way, presented so they can be studied by scientists. The ultra-rapid and ultra-slow movie cameras eliminate the element of time. They apparently bring man consider- ably nearer an understanding of the twin mysteries — life and death. Such ultimately may be the greatest function of the movie. ‘ No telling what the’ scientific movie will lead to. Dr. Herm will make movies showing cancer cells attacking and destroying healthy cells. . When doctors understand how these cells work, they’ll be nearer a cure. So, too, with dis- ease germs. Zs The movie, a toy, in the future may be even more useful than entertaining. 3 FROM THE PAST There’s a peculiar thrill and feeling of awe such as we have in the presence of the dead or of departed grandeur, when we explore an old attic. What's the old contraption in the corner? Spinning wheel. Used to make the yarn and thread for the family clothing. Phenomenal in its day as the airplane is to us of 1923. Now it’s only a relic. Will the airplane be only a relic later?) Who knows. Yonder under the eaves, dust-covered, is an old hair trunk. In wet weather it smelled like a goat, but grandma was proud of it when she traveled in the stagecoach. Inside, in lavender and mothballs, are some of her ancient garments, long since out of style. . The old attic is a cemetery, burial place of the things that once were marvels. and around which played the emotions and activities of a generation now departed. Attics are be- coming scarce in our age of high costs of building, but the attic is allegorical. It foretells the future that awaits all the devices of today. ‘This is the Ultimate Tragedy. SHOE STYLES The toothpick-toe shoe for men is coming ‘back into fash- ion, according to Charles D. Coe, representative of ‘the oldest shoe factory in our country. He says that shoe styles travel inz cycles and that the pendulum is swinging away from commonsense comfortable shoes. = Don’t place any bets. The same was said about bobbed hair and short skirts. Americans are not as inclined to jump through fashion’s hoop. as formerly. The “slaves to ae are beginning to insist on a voice in the manage- «ment. = NATIONAL DEBT = The national debt.now. is a trifle under 22 billion dollars, after deducting Uncle Sam’s surplus funds. = This means that the national debt is'$207 for every man, woman and child’in the country. While even that is a large sum, it’s not enough to drive us to the poorhouse. The income of all the American people for less than half a year wéuld wipe.out every penny of the national debt. A tend many Americans.would be thankful if their personal debts were not any larger than ‘heir share of the nationaledebt. pc RSS Sem Sc COFFEE DRINKERS shy oa i Sweden and Cuba still are the leading -coffee-drinking , n@tions, But, we're catching up with them rapidly.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By OliveRoberts Barton Thomas M. Cat came out of the kitchen door of Farmer Brown’s house and looked around. He looked at the sky, then he looktd at the ground and then he sat down and started to wash himself. i He looked as innocent as a spring lamb, and as mild asa pan of milk, and as sweet as a barrel of sugar. But Mister Dodger said to the Twins (they had just been around seeing if all the animals in Squealy- Moo Land were safe)—well, he said, “Let’s watch that fellow. When Thomas M. Cat begins to look like a Sunday school, that’s the time he’s up to something.” By and by, Mister Cat stopped washing and looked around. Then ‘the purred till he sounded like a fly o na window pane. Finally he stopped purring and walked down the path to the gate. he sat “down again and Purred some more. Then he got up and crossed the roaq and crawled under the fence into the field where the hay-stack was, looking for all the world like a nice apple-pie, “M, H'm!” nodded Mister Dodger knowingly. “I just thought so! Come on, kiddies! Step softly and we'll follow that gentleman.” Thomas M. Cat walked slowly along the rows of stubble and pretty soon the Twins noticed that he wasn’t so tall as he hag been. He had flattened out like a black rug. But he kept going on and on, straight for the hay-stack, with » queer wiggling métion like a snake walking on its tummy. By ’nd. by he stopped, ‘crouching cake.

Such a carious thing; something that I can not insany way explain, ~ My pearls are real! Yesterday, becauge I was worried about Ruth and more worried about Jack, from whom I had only re- ceived the laconic telegram, * “Am going out of town on business. Have no time to come home. Give-jman my overnight. bag. Don’t know when I'll be back. Don't worry,” I decided I would take my pearl.beads down and have them restrung. I would give me something to do. I went to the best jewelry store in town, all the while feeling ashamed to ask anyone in such a smart shop to string my beads, but this time I intended to have them knotted and I did not know just how to do it myself. ‘+ The clerk was very courteous and said that he thought they would be glad to have them strung for me, al- though they never did anything of the kind at the shop. I took them out and he held a few of them in his hand. I thought the man looked very strangely, first at the beads and then at me. At last he called one of the proprietors of the store. “Mrs. Prescott wishes her pearls restrung. Have we anyone whom we can trust to do this?” The speech seemed almost ironical. The man he had called looked at me rather. strangely as he picked up one or two af the beads. we can bring someone. into the shop,” he said, “and I myself will stay in the room while they are be- ing strung.” i “Oh, I'm suré you need not go to all that trouble,” I expostulated. .

Are you sure you know just exactly how many there are?” - “There are 79,” J said a in a trem- bling voice. “I had 80, but when the string broke thé other night in a restaurant, only 79 could be found.” “And you didn’t make a fuss about it? Didn’t you understand that someone had put one in his pocket?” “No, I didn’t want to, make a §cene.” 3 The jeweler looked positively dis- gusted with me as he gathered up the pearls and said they would be ready for me in the morning.
