Fat Women Lucky
To Be on Earth,
Says Professor
200-rouiuler VoulJ Weigh
5,600 on Sun Could Jump
Over Skyscraper on
Moon, However.
Chicago, Nov. 5. If a 200-pound
woman lived in the sun she would
v.rirh 5.600 pounds.
That. Professor Forest R. Moul
ton of the University of Chicago says
would be only one of tier troubles if
she chose the sun a a winter homo.
The moon is equ.'y useless as a
resilience site. If we lived on the
moon we would have to stop breath
ing, became there isn't any atmos
phere. There isn't enough gravity
to keep atmosphere sticking around
as the moon only has one-eightieth
of the mass of the earth.
What the 200-pound woman woulj
weigh on the moon, however, only
the professor and the engineers
know, because mention of the figure
was overlooked, but, following the
professor's line of reasoning, she
would weigh about as much as a
grasshopper and could jump over
the Wrigley tower.
Cheese Theory Exploded.
The professor flouted the" theory
that the moon is made of camemocct,
green or any other color. The cra
ters arc caused either by some inside
disturbance bursting, through like
bubbles in a chocolate pudding, or
else by a lot of 1, 000-ton meteors
ricking the surface of the moon.
The professor isn't sure which.
An old astronomer, looking
throttg a bum pair of opera glasses
?O0 years ago, came upon a smooth
place upon the moon, which he
talked about in his text books as "the
most serene sea." Put. according to
last night's lecturer, it must've been
raining at the time, because there
isn't any sea or( any other kind oi
water on the moon. Thus may a
drop of water on a faulty lens pro
duce a vast sea for students of as
tronomy to worry about down
through the years.
No "Shooting Stars. '
Another fairy story at which tne
professor hooted was that of the
"shooting star." It seems "they
ain't no scch thing."
"An astronomer would have heart
failure if he ever saw 'a 'shooting
star,' " the professor assured the en
gineers. "It would be just like the
sun streaking through the sky and
disappearing.- I'd be just as sur
prised to see a star really shoot as
I'd be to wake up some morning
and look out of the window and find
the earlh gone." -. . ,
What really is happening jphen we
see a streak of light sail part way
across the sky and then melt fiito
the air is only a meteor scraping"
asainsi a lot or atmospnere.

Up-to-Date Orphan Asylum
Soon Will Be Built at Rome
Rome, Nov. 5.- Rome will soon
have a most up-to-date orphan
asylum. The money for its founda
tion is being collected through popu
lar subscription at the rate of over
100,000 lire per day. Several mil
lions are expected to be subscribed
for within the next two or three
weeks. .-,
The name of the new orphanage
will be "The New Family." Hun
dreds of war orphans will find
shelter in it, and 'they will be given
the best advantages of mental and
physical training. ;;'
For the
Diplomas Given to
? BoysoftheY.M.C.A.
Who Learn to Swim
Classes for beginners .are being
conducted every Monday evening at
4 o'clock at the "Y" for all boys of
the membership who do not know
how to swim. Cecil Fisher is the
instructor and he says that the work
is progressing very rapidly and that
several are being graduated into the
regular classes every week.
About three lessons of careful and
efficient instruction is required for
the average boy to learn to swim.
On completing the work required for
the beginner he is graduated from
the beginners' class and is given a
diploma signed by the physical de
partment and. boys' department ex
ecutives. These diplomas are similar to
those given in the free swimming
school held in the "Y" every spring,
when all boys of Omaha are invited
to come and learn to swim.- These
diplomas are very attractive in ap
pearance and are very highly prized
by the boys when they have earned

cocoa will be served at the supper
hour around the campfire.
During the afternoon games with
every one taking part will be played
under the direction of C Carl Weigel

to satisfy a large group in the woods.
At the close of the evening the
boys will gather about the camp fire
circle and listen to stories and songs
with everyone taking part The" Root

Hallowe'en Party of ;
South Omaha Y" Boys
Last Monday night, Hallowe'en,
the boys of South Omaha were en
tertained by a big party in honor of
the ocassion at the Armour Assembly
hall. By 6:30 o'clock the half was
filled with many anxious youngsters.
At 7 o'clock over 400 "boys hail
crowded into the room where they
were entertained for 'two hours with
moving pictures, stories and talks.
Special effort was made to get the
boys of the near neighborhood to at
tend the party and had the hall been
larger more would have been at the
party. " Special invitation was given
to the boys of Corrigan, West Side,
South Central, South Franklin,
Erown Tart, Jungman, Madison and
Highland grade schools.
Through the courtesy of the Ar
mour plant the use of the Welfare
room was obtained as it was a cen
