GOOD CLOTHES for HIGH SCHOOL BOYS Right in Style Low in Price Long or Short Pants Q. Why can chlorine, which is a poisonous gas, be used in the puriAca- tion of water? A. When chlorine gas is passed into water or comes in contact with water vapor, it causes a part of the oxygen of LI20 to be liberated in the nascent (extremely active) form. This oxygen in turn oxidizes the disease germs and other poison organisms, rendering them harmless. Q. Why is it said that our present civilization would be impossible with out the inidu'strial use of sulphuric acid? A. Sulphuric acid is necessary for the preparation of practically all ex plosives, dyes, fertilizers, and artiAcial silk; it is also used in the puriAcation of petroleum. Without sulphuric acid such engineering feats as the construc tion of the Panama Canal would be impossible, mining of metal for pro duction of steel would also be ham pered because explosives are necessary in modern mining and engineering.

Dick Douglas will play the part of a burglar; Mary Henri Robinson, the part of a little girl, and John Foster, the part of a little boy. As the story goes, the little boy and girl are given a deep book tp read for speaking incorrect Eng lish. In their reading they come across the word “nevertheless,’^ neither one knowing the meaning of the word. The little boy and girl decide to turn opt the lights and let a fairy tell them the mean ing of the word. While the lights are out, a burglar pomes into the room. If the burglar tells the meaning of the word, the boy and girl would let him go. Of course, he could not.
