 W llu THE 1920 EMF' 1—L-i • 111 r AN ILLUSTRATED LESSON IN ELECTRICITY Place: The cozy corner in her home. Principals: She and Jack. Time: In the soft June moonlight (12:00 P. X.) Conversation like the following ensued: “Jack,” said his best girl, one night when they were alone in the parlor, “you are so wonderful, and you know so much about electricity. Won’t you tell me all about it?” “Sure thing. What do you want to know?” Well, what is insulation?” “Insulation? Oh! yes. Please put on a glove—so. I take your hand in mine—now it is insulated.” “I see. And what is a conductor?” “A conductor? Take off your gloves—our hands touch; they connect. See?” “Why, it is ridiculously simple. What is an ampere?” “That is a little harder to illustrate. It is the power of electricity. The power—I take your hand—it is the power that makes me do it. You see?” “Perfectly. But what is a volt?” “A volt: It is the pressure of the electricity.” (He squeezed her hand tighter.) That is voltage electrically speaking.” “How remarkably simple.” “Anything else?” “Yes—what is resistance?” “Well. well. If I were a-a-er to attempt to -er-kiss you, now, I would meet with resistance, wouldn’t I?” “Well, er-er-er I-I don’t quite understand. Can’t you illustrate that?” So he illustrated it; but there was no resistance. “How wonderful!” she fluted, between sighs. “Now, Jack, dear what is short circuit?” There was a loud step and the door burst open and in rushed her father. “I’ll show you what a short circuit is,” he roared, as he made for the sofa on which Jack had sat, but luckily was no more, he having dived through the window pane with a bang. “Some short circuit.” mused pa. looking over the damage. LEWIS H, REYNOLDS. AMERICANISM IN CLASS The Potential Club, which is an organization of the members of the class to promote social and literary activities, puts ahead of all else, the pro- motion of 100% Americanism in the class and by virtue of its by-laws, will expell any member found to be in sympathy with I. W. W., Socialistic and anti-American factions. The unanimous voting for this amendment to the by- laws of the club, and the personal knowledge and acquaintance with all the members of the class shows it to be 100% American, and each member ‘raring to go,’ boosting Americanism.
