Your America By Clark Kinnaird FLUSH TIMES of the lecture system have passed away," an editorial writer opined in a New York paper in 1880's. He recalled that the lecture system was a little over a quarter century old. "When a novelty it had a tremendous run. Generals, politicians, poets, novelists, exiles, martyrs, travelers and hunters made a business of talking Reaction has set in. Country' audiences are satiated with wantonly slain lions and tigers.

Paths of travelare worn threadbare Only old and well established lecturers are now in favor." He might've had in mind such a lecturer as Rev. Russell H. Conwell who talked of Acres of Diamonds 6,000 times; or John B. Gough (evils of drinking). But others continued be crowd-catchers at lecture halls across the country.

The arrival of Oscar Fingall O'Flahertie Wilde, the Dublinborn poet, dramatist and novelist, at New York 86 years ago this week (1-9-1882) as a lecturer on the new aestheticism of the world, proved a spectacular attraction wherever he appeared. Wilde sensation whose (one detail: a sunflower) worstumes, flamboyancy were reported extravagantly by a press which declared him "admired by gushing young women." Possibly without Wilde's realizing their real intent, he had been induced to make the lecture tour of America by arrangement of the theatrical producers who were to import the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, Patience. This was a burlesque of the aesthetic movement Wilde had founded. Nevertheless, the Wilde garb, fantastic postures, and rude manners became an epidemic among American youths -the "hippie" and "flower-child" great-grandparents. He was followed as a lecturehall magnet by Wiliam Jennings Bryan, whose successive failures as a Presidential candidate continued his profitable career as a platform spellbinder in offelection years over two decades.

The auction was identical at both tables and South became the declarer at a final contract of four hearts. West opened the king of clubs at one table, continued with the ace and then a third round putting South in with the queen. Declarer led a small heart, West followed with the five and the jack was put up from dummy.

The seven of hearts was returned and, when East showed out, South played the king to dislodge West's ace. West returned a fourth round of clubs which declarer ruffed in his hand and another heart lead enabled the latter to successfully finesse North's nine and then pick up the ten with the queen. High the suit. If West has four hearts small heart must be led from headed he by the ace ten, a the dummy next. West's play of the eight led declarer to believe that East was more apt to have four trumps, and was holding off the order to steer his opponent off the track.

In order to protect himself against a trump concentration on his right, South continued with the queen of hearts from dummy. If East played the ace and West showed out, declarer could lead thru the ten five quently and pick up the suit. When East showed out, West's subterfuge was revealed; however, it was too late for the declarer, and he was obliged to concede two tricks and a grudging congratulation to a resourceful defender.

A battery is a way of producing electric current. battery cell changes chemical energy into electrical enPart of the chemical energy is changed into heat ergy, and part of it into an electric current. There are two kinds of battery cells. One is called a primary cell. The common flashlight battery is an example of this.

A primary cell delivers a certain amount of energy for particular period, and then it is thrown away. It cannot be recharged. A secondary cell is really an electrical storage tem. It can be recharged by sending an electric current through it. The automobile battery is an example of secondary cells.

Various chemicals are used in primary cells, but the principle is always the same. In every primary cell there are two different metals or one metal and carbon (called the cell elements, or electrodes). And there is a liquid, calld the electrolyte. One of the elements, called the cathode, is usually zinc. The other is called the anode and is usually carbon.

Chemical action causes the cathode to dissolve slowly in the electrolyte and set electrons free. When these elctrons a are given a path or circuit through which they can move, they provide an electric current. In order that the current may flow, the elements must be connected by a wire or other electrical conductor. Primary cells are also divided into wet and dry types. The dry cell is not really dry, or it wouldn't work.

The moisture is held by absorbent material and is sealed in the wax so that it will not leak out and the battery will be dry outside. The ordinary dry cells, either singly or in groups, are used to do many kinds of useful work, such as making doorbells, ring, operating flashlights and portable radios.

Give your Zip is: Cynthia White, 8, South Royals- Tribune What's The Law The Case Of The Flying Suitcase Jim was jumpy as he boarded a train and he had good reason. In his hand, he carried a suitcase containing $5,000 in cold hard cash.

He was so nervous, in fact, that when he attempted to put the suitcase on a rack over his seat, where he could keep a weathered eye on it, he inadvertently shoved it out of an open window below the rack. bd A MUZPU HEY! For a second, Jim looked out of the window in complete disbelief. Then, he frantically tried to get the conductor to stop the train but to no avail. It wasn't until the train stopped at the next station, hree miles down the track, that he was finally able to disembark and race back to where he had dumped his suitcase. When he got there, he found that someone else had gotten there first.

The money was gone. Furious, Jim sued the railroad company for his loss. "A railroad company has a duty to protect a passenger's luggage as well as it's passengers," he argued in court. "When my suitcase went flying overboard, the train should have been stopped immediately so that I could have recovered it." HAROLD 1-10-62 "Nonsense," responded the railroad company. "If Jim was nutty enough to throw his suitcase out of the window, it was his fault and not ours." IF YOU WERE THE JUDGE, would you hold the railroad company responsible for Jim's loss? This is how the judge ruled: No! The judge held that Jim had no legal right to have the train stopped for the purpose of relieving himself of the consequences of an accident for which the railroad company was not responsible, He, and not the railroad company, had custody of his valise.
