LONDON. Mar. H. Parkes, a Lon-
don janitor, maintains that Sir Isaac
Newton was all wrong and that his
teachings on the law of gravity have
misled the whole of the modem scien-
tific world.
Parkes has devoted ten years of his
i life to the task of discovering the
■ exact cause of gravitation, a subject
upon, which Newtofl said nothing.
"I have at last fathomed the cause,”
he says in a book "Revelations in As-
tronomy and Gravitations,” just pub-
lished^ "Bodies and particles in
space are maintained by the control
of attractive motion, Instead of by the
pulling force of attractive matter, as
indicated in the' NeWtbnian theory."
Sir .Oliver I-odg'e and other eminent
scientists have expressed interests in

LOUGHBOROUGH, Eug., Mar. 17.—
For perhaps the first time in English
history, "municipalised romance”’
was organlzdH here recently when., at
the Invltutfoin of the Mayor, 360 pretty
Loughborough spinsters attended a
Leap Year Dance, each bringing a
partner.
It was the Mayor’s view that many
marriages would result from the
dane«, which was staged in an atmos-
phere redolent of Cupid.
Special Ntting-out places were ar-
rarged by the Mayor so that no shy
young man could plead there was too
much publicity. Alcoves embowered
in red and white roses were .dotted
about the room. Each had a capaci-
ous armchair suitable for two.
. The pupils of the high second and
the low third grades under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Fields are enjoying their
study of Holland. A representation
q( a Dutch Village showing the canal
as it winds around through the vil-
lage has been worked out on the sand J
table. „ w
Bouts and ducks are seen on the
canal while cows and sheep are seeu
grazing in the pasture and on the
banks of the canal. Dutch wludmilis,'
houses, dogs and milkcarts have been
made of construction paper while tu-
lips are arranged in neat flower gar
dens and tile, made of clay, have been
placed in front of the houses.
The work Jias been correlated with
spelling, language, reading, original
composition, story telling and hand j Smith.

'.Fennie Frisby, Grace Cox. Allie Mae
Atkins. Grace Dauks, and Virginia
Cargile.
