Darkness is one of the un-

which man has never exerted
anv degree of mastery. It still
reigns nearly as absolute to
day as when the human race
first trod the face of the earth.
From the very first the
night has been a time of mys
tery and fear, when men and
beast cowered in the farthest
roaches of their cover and
waited for the light of day to

dispel the fear that comes
with darkness.
The campfire was probably
the first, followed by torches,
candles, lamps and today with
electric light globes. But even
these modern light makers
are feeble and ineffective, ex
cept in extremely local areas
and restricted conditions. We
can adequately light a room;
a hall, or even a football
field.
We can, and do place lights
along our streets that illumi
nale somewhat the roadway
and the nearby buildings. We

probably proclaim are "as
light as day." But overhead,
and all around is darkness.
crowding in-ready to become
absolute the second some me
chanical thing fails, or some'
one pulls a switch.
Man has tried hard lo do
something about the weather.
He has not been very success
ful; probably never will be;
but little has been done to
conquer the power of darkness.
The poet says "the nicht
has a thousand eyes - the dav
but one," but the eyes of nicht
are only flecks that give Diti-
fully little light.
A peculiar fact about dav
and night is that the Antarctic
and Arctic regions with their
long winter nights, actually
have no more night than the
equatorial regions. The total
length of the nights for a
given locality equals the total
length of the days for the
same locality and is the same
for all parts of the world. At
every moment one half of the
world has night. .
Time of Rest
For man, night is the period
of natural rest. Some animals,
especially equipped, are more
active at night than by day
Nature has given them eyes
that arc adapted to the faint
light of evening and morning.
Some nocturnal animals are
distressed if caught abroad in
full daylight. The owl, night-
hawk, opossum and (lying
squirrels are typical examples
of these creatures.
Figuratively, we use the
word night to designate per
iods of intellectual ignorance.
I he poet speaks of it as ar
interval o( sorrow or death
The electrical engineer and
the night-watchman look upon
night differently, but neither
can do very much about it.
the power in darkness is
one of the most perplexing
and potcnl forces with which
men have to contend, and

thing stronger than an electric
bulb ever will lessen its
world-wide scope.

vai was scheduled lo ap
pear in com Friday for ar
raignment before C I J c u i t
Judge Roland K. RodJSn.
Mrs. T.C. My child is a
nervous wreck from the way
Quecnie teases her at school.
Queeme H, Hazel is just a
crybaby and a rotten sport.
She can't take a joke.
Mrs. T.C. My daughter,
Hazel, is 12 years old and in
the seventh grade. She s high-
strung by nature, but in addi
tion she s been terribly upset
by the death of her grand
father who lived with us since
she was a baby. So what
Queenie and the other girls
do to her at school is the
last straw. She's at home now
with a fever, and tells me she
can t bear lo return to school.
I discussed this with the
guidance teacher. I'd like to
know why Queenie picks on
Hazel. For example, yesterday
Hazel brought a new red
leather pocketbook to school.
It had been a birthday gift
from her grandfather. While
she was showing it to some
body, Quecnie and her gang
grabbed it and began to play
ball with it.
Queenie H. Hazel asks for
it. She either snubs the rest
of us, sits there by herself
and won't even say hello, or
else she shows off.
Ask the other kids. I'm not
the only one who tries to get
a rise out of her. Why pick
on me? She's not friendly to
anyone unless she wants to
talk about her presents, her
clothes or her marks. Once
we asked her to turn one end
of a jump rope and she said
no, she wanted to read. So
we never ask her now.
About her procketbook, it
was just for kicks. We weren't
going to hurt it. But she
screamed and got hysterical.
She has no sense of humor.
She takes everything so seri
ously.' She's just a wet blank
et. The Councili Teasing is
one-way fun and, as such, is
sadistic. Real fun is two-way.
And teasing is a byproduct
of unsupervised play, which
in this case exposes Hazel's
hypersensitivity and Queenie's
over-aggressiveness.
Mrs. C. is right in bringing
this uneven battle to the fore.
Both teaser and teased are
hereby revealed as having
personality problems which
may be dealt with in the
protective environment of
school and home. Hazel's with
drawal tendencies and social
awkwardness makes her a
"sitting duck" for Queenie
who must bully away her own
hurts on others. Each can sure
ly be helped in the guidance
classes.
But the cruelty of leasing
can stand special emphasis.
Queenie might be sobered by
the tale of Kurt, a 12-year-old
refugee from Germany, at
tending a public school in
New York. Victini of consid
erable suffering, the boy de
veloped enuresis (bed-welting)
and was extremely self-conscious
about it. Above all, he
lidn't want his classmates or
friends to know of this.
One day the teacher left
the class in the charge of two
monitors, a boy and a girl.
Kurt overheard them check
ing off each pupil with the
words: "He does ... he
doesn't." When he asked one
of them what they meant, the
answer was "Thai's for us to
know and you to find out," a
familiar childhood taunt.
Kurt was sure they referred
to his weakness and, at home
that day, he tried to hang
himself. He was rescued in
time. Eventually he learned
the children were merely
checking on who wears glass
es! Much damage can result
from piling torment on one
who may already be weighed
down by slings and arrows
which don't show.
Queenie and Hazel are as
sumedly still normal kids.
Mrs. C. has called attention
to each girl's trends. In so do
ing she Is helping to nip be
havior which, i( carried to ex
cess, would lead lo warped
adulthood.
