Children s Day at a Redpath Chautauqua SZ. ; ’ k ’4i *» >?•-ikv felOww ><£ W ?,s •,'>/.'sfs’ ‘. t-i **•>’ ’ __ LJ THE young women who conduct the children’s work on the Redpath Chautauquas will follow a new system during the coming season, a method that will present the stories, folk dancing and games to the children In a more systematic manner. j-- This year the children's workers have received a special training In the following program: On the first i<day the children’s worker at each Chautauqua will tell Indian folk tales and teach the children a few of the simple folk dances of the Indians; on the second day, Russian folk tales and Russian folk dancing; on the third day, Ger‘man folk tales and German folk dances, and on the fourth day, Scandinavian folk tales and Scandinavian folk A dancing. <■ The reason for the change from miscellaneous story telling to a plan for each day is to make each session’s work _a definite whole. We feel that this will be an advance step in the children's work and will interest the parents. • The children’s workers will also be ready to give to the parents in each community two informal talks on such { subjects as “The Place of the Story In the Education of a Child” and “The Value of day In the Moral Development of Children.” We feel that the above arrangement will appeal to the parents and be doubly interesting to the . children. ,Z The children's workers who will appear at the Redpath Chautauquas this season, one at each Chautauqua, are: Miss Verna E. Swanson, Miss Vivian Grace Ditto, Miss Helen McArthur, Miss Mabelle C. Conqulst.

dreds of thousands of others, is one of the smallest of all things. Physicians and nurses sometimes refer to the minute plant of life, known as the tubercle bacilli, as a “bug.” This bug is the most powerful in the world It is so small that it takes a million of them to make a line an inch long. Yet. it progapates so raridly and with such a malignant force that it kills more men, women and children than all other contagious disease germs combined. It is time for every reader of the Daily Democrat to urge upon the puolic officials of this community the necessity of immediate action against this germ which causes tuberculosis or consumption. After all, isn’t the health of this community just as important as good roads, or good morals, or good schools, or good public buildings? Is there anything more important than good health? Questions and Answers. Dear Tuberculosis Editor: —The doctor me that my young son has tuberculosis. He makes him sleep with his windows open and he has cautioned me about letting other members of the family use the same dishes that the patient uses. He says that the boy has a good chance to recover, but he tells me that if we are not careful cur little girl, who is five years old, will get the disease from her brother. I She likes to be with him all the time ' and it is hard to keep her out of his 1 room. What would you advise. ANXIOUS MOTHER.

You surely have come to realize now what it means to have tuberculosis in your family. Children are very susceptible to this disease. If you don’t want your daughter to “get it” keep her out of the sick room. It It may seem heartless, but what would you do if your son had small pox cr scarlet fever, or diphtheria? Dear Editor:—Will a kiss carry germs? Is it really necessary to burn the rags or napkins in whicli a person, suffering irom tuberculosis spits? If we burn them, what on earth will we do when we have used up all the rags we have? 1. Yes. 2. It is best to burn ’he rags but they can be made safe for reuse by boiling thoroughly and then placed in the sun for several hours. 3. If possible use paper napkins or regulation sputum cups instead of rags. Dear Editor: —My wife has tuberculosis and I know of many other persons who are suffering from the disease. There is no place in this county where we can be given institutional treatment. What shall we do if we haven’t enough money to go where there is a tuberculosis hospital. W. J. Do your county commissioners and the members of your county council know of the need for a tuberculos's hospital? They may build one under the law, issuing bonds for the purpose if necessary. It might be a good plan to talk to them personally about this proposition. In the meantime your wife must do the best she can under the circumstances.

Wood’s Wrestling Gyroscope Also Ultraviolet Ray and Monorail Car Scheduled For Popular Science Night at the Chautauqua Here.

THE announcement for Popular Science Night on our forthcoming Chautauqua here comprises a feature strikingly Interesting, even startling. yet educational. Also It Is widely different from anything else ever given on the Redpath Chautauquas. Think of a two hours' demonstration divided Into three parts In which as one feature a member ot the audience Will wrestle with a twenty-eight pound

gyroscope while It Is running at a speed of 3,(XX) revolutions a minute. Then will come a demonstration of the monorail car, a model car being actually sent out in midair on a slack wire nbove one of the aisles of the auditorium. The producing of hand writing on the canvas wall with a ray of light acting as the crayon wiil cause another surprise throughout the tent. These and other demonstrations will be presented by Professor Montraville

Wood and daughter, Miss Alene Wood. The subjects demonstrated are of such a nature that the demonstrations can be plainly seen from all parts of the large tent Professor Wood is already well known to scientists. and Inventors throughout this country. In fact, he is one of America’s foremost inventors, especially In the electrical field. The patents which have been awarded to him number nearly 1(X), the majority of which are in practical use today. In IBS!) he was appointed district engineer of the Edison company for the

Pacific coast, and in 1890 was in charge of the engineering department of the North Pacific Exposition in Portland, Ore., where the honor of opening the exposition was bestowed upon his young daughter, Alene. While Mr. Wood in 1904 was perfecting the process of welding copper at the great works of the General Electric Company at Schenectady, N. Y., he became interested in the gyroscopic actions of large moving bodies developed in the steam turbines built by this compaay.

Knowing that many had failed In harnessing this enormous force did not prevent him from carrying on his experiments, and Mr. Wood practically has solved the problem of controlling the processional movements of the gyroscope. The wrestling match that Mr. Wood exhibits at his lectures creates great excitement and at the same time funnlshes scientific and Instructive sport.

Can you imagine anything more amusing than to see a man being thrown around on the platform as though he were a small rag doll bj’ a gyroscope only twenty-four inches in diameter and weighing but twenty-eight pounds? Also seeing one of these large gyroscopes, which is lying down at an angle of 45 degrees, raise itself bodily Into the air, get up on Its feet and turn around, you cannot help but think that there is something supernatural in its workings.

A gyroscope when running at the ’ rate of 3,000 revolutions per minute i and standing perpendicular cannot bo ’ pushed over and made to lie on its side. Also a heavy weight placed on I one side of a gyro causes that side to i rise, therefore overcoming the law of i gravitation. , The ultraviolet ray is produced by ; taking alternating current and boosting i it to 25,000 volts, requiring one of the most dangerous currents known today. Professor Wood is a good talker and entertainer ns well as a scientist. ■ Miss Alene M. Wood, Professor

Wood’s only daughter, who has been his coworker and assistant for several years, Is a graduate of a well known musical college of Chicago, and is otherwise talented, but there is nothing in which she so delights as scientific work. The marvelous work that she performs with the ultraviolet raj’ has given her the name of “Tamer of Electricity.” Father and daughter handle this ultraviolet ray as they would the ordinary electric light For a novice to attempt it would mean certain death.
