A. Bliss, of the University of Chicago, told of some uses- The calculus of variations describes the form of curves. A simple example is the parabola made by a baseball thrown from outfield to home plate, Mathematics is not used for baseballs but for intricate curves that cannot be measured so exactly. One of -these is the lenses of recent cameras. Until a few years ago, Professor Caratheodory said, the calculus of variations was con BED TIME SNACKS TEMPTING SANDWICHES MADE IN A JIFFY hero Mary Roberts Rinehart made out of "The Doctor" and considered Honore Morrow's "Let the King Beware" as the best thus far of her novels of history.

The royal scepter is about three feet in length, and divided into three parts, of plain gold, studded with jewels, notably part of the Cullinan diamond in the top part, surmounted with a cross set on a large jewel. The scepter with the dove is rather longer than the Royal scepter. It is studded with jewels, the dove being moulded in white enamel, and set on an orb of gold.

The so-called staff of St. Edward is not really a scepter, but a long rod with an orb and cross on the top, without any jewels. It is merely carried in procession. Two are used. The one called St.
