ilr. Miller spent the morning getting
some beauty sleep. “Red” and Paul
declared they just had to do something
unusual while on their brief stay. The
result of this longing was that they had
dates and danced in the White House.
After lunch they met Mr. Miller at
the Belasco theater to see the matinee
of “The Mikado.” Through Mr. L. S.
Taylor, manager of the theater, the
party met Mr. Fred Wright, director
and manager of “The Mikado” cast.
Mr. Wright appeared in this perform
ance as the comedian, Ko-Ko. Paul
Kimes, G. H. S. studen,t who will play
this role in the coming opera, was
much impressed by Mr. Wright’s act-
Mr. Johnson sketched the scenery
and hopes to have a reproduction of
the scenes used by Mr. Wright’s
company.

SUBJECT OF DEBATE
IS ABOLISHMENT OF
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Affirmative, Clary Holt, Doug
las Cartland; Negative, Rig-
don Dees, Guy Holt
MISS BRIDGES PRESIDES
Resolved: That capital punishment
should be abolished, was the topic for
a debate IVednesday, February 29, in
the high school auditorium at chapel
period. The first speaker of the affirma
tive side was Guy Hope, who stated
that capital punishment should be
abolished, for murder is always mur
der, whether by a state or by an indi
vidual. The first speaker on the nega
tive side was Clary Holt. He stated
that capital punishmnet should not be
abolished, for it is necessary for the
protection of society. The second
speaker on the afiirmative was Rigdon
Dees. According to Mr. Dees, capital
punishment should give way to a more
just and human mode of punishment,
such as life imprisonment. The second
speaker on the negative was Douglas
Cartland. “Capital punishment should
not be abolished,” he stated, “because
it is a wise and desirable mode of pun
ishment, founded on the experience of
the world.” According to Douglas, life
imprisonment is and always will be a
failure.
Miss Margaret Bridgers presided
over the meeting. The negative side
was adjudged victor by a 111 to 89 vote
of the audience.

Question: Why can we often see the
whole circle of the moon when it is
not shining?
Answer : The reason is that the earth
shines brightly by the sun’s light, just
as the moon does; and the earths light
is enough to light up the moon, so that
we can sometimes see even the part of
its face that is not lit by the sun.
Question: Shall we ever be able to
get to any other planet?
Answer: Probably not. The moon is
only 240,000 miles away, but nothing
could fire a hollow ball fast enough to
go so far, even if the direction could
be controlled, and even if people inside
it could survive the shock of being
fired off.
Question: lYhy does a bee die when
its sting comes out?
Answer: IVhat we call the sting of
a bee is not really meant to be used
as a sting. It really exists to help the
bee lay its eggs, and when the bee uses
the sting, it is generally roughly torn
away from the bee’s body, causing
damage which is usually fatal.
Question : Is it true that there is the
sign of a lost eye on our brain?
Answer: It is quite true that there
is a part of the brain which is supposed
by very learned men, who have studied
the brains of all kinds of animals, to
represent an eye which occupied the
position of the middle line of the head
right in the centre. There is still
existing in the far-off country of New
Zealand a lizard whose proper name
is sphenodon, in which this central eye
is so near the surface that it can still
be affected by the rays of light.
