LIVING OIN THE DOLE- ]Test how it. is. .done c'an- never be •known except by ,doing it, which is painful. There is no sudh teeing as a compllebely typical case, nor does im- agination help much, B'ult we d'art d'is- cover by observation one or two 'gen seal pridciples Which will -help us to -understand. ,Living on the dole—that is to say, Ening, not brokenly existing—must ,plainly mean, in the first place, -look- ing at the everyday ddtails of the means- of .subsistence thirough a paw-- , aw, •erful:microscope, One has to learn to watch through the microscope many almost infinitely little things, the ani- ntalculae of domestic economics, which are generally- ignored even by the very poor. And, in the second place, one must learn' to forget for ,the time being about big, fundamental things, in other words, to stop think - „Mg. Now the first practical itote an ob- server makes when trying to discover 'how to :live on the dole (without the pain of doing it) is that the -women seem to be carrying on mare happily than "the .men, a conclusion contrary to one's sentimental leanings. Mrs. 'Brown is happier than Mr. Brown simply because she is not out of work, ;She is happier, because, although at first it is terribly difficult to learn to use the microscope, she has a jab of work to do, an important job, a job that occupies all her time and most. of her thoughts, the job off, making fifteen shillings to do the work of a pound!. To be sure, her ehi'ldren are pale and thin and fretful, T-Ier two rooms (if she is lucky enough to .have two) hare been stripped of all but the barest ,necessaries. But the job is there, and has to be done day by day, She is earning her keep, and .a good . bit over, and her self-respect remains. She does the work bravely and with reasonable efficiency. .Exactly, how, then? We'll, Mrs. Brown, of Kentish 'Town, has a hus- band and six children, and a dole to administer of 34's. 3d a week. Brawn brings the money hone on Friday af- ternoon, Five of the dhildren have been getting free dinners at school leve days, a week—excellent dinners -tutat cost the Education Ai tlionity about fourpence.each-but far the nest they have had on those five days not nru•ch more than two thin slices of 'bread and margarine for breakfast, xpd two more for .tea. Directly after .tea they go to bed to save firing, and prevent them from getting hungry. again.. Hers is a .hand furraw to plow, but Brown's 'furrow'-Bmdwn being what ate is, a .hhoughtful fellow with a twen- ty years' habit of wonk, Who has 'been 'out” for eighteen moniths—'is poss- ibly 'harder, his job being ;merely to k-eeb cheerful and healthy and prevent that brain of his from what he calls "thinking;"= -.to keep sane, in a word, His seanch for work has became pure- ly att<eanuatic so it hardly helps the. Thiafn. 'Strange to relate, he manages to gamble a little as' his two shillings a week, but that s'o'lace has to be left in the main to the unmarried lads. Half a phut of Meer in the warm, sac- -table bar -parlor is :eight out of reach' at present prices. So, as a rade, is the luxury of a four -penny seat at the pictures, And, sbnange to relate, for he used to be fond, of reading, he hates the eree library now; IIin Fact, Brown sits ,at home most of tate day m'opin'g.

At first he flatly refused to go, in spite of Mrs. Brown's: tactful pressure, Whet, he asked, was the use? He did- n't want tobe amused or educated, He leuew his jab, d'idn''t he? (this a trifle' truouien'Uly).,, I'f he- dou'ld bring home' a few shillings he'wonild' go, but {otherwise he "oo'ulhdn't get ,his ' 'rotund !dawn ho it." When he did cantse'nit to give the tcllasses at the Mary Ward Settlem'en't e trial, it was bec'au'se' i the children were "on theiruppers" and he coulld learn boot -repairing there.

Tlhat has set Brown at his old game' of thinking and by the time inc has seen this bad patch throughhe will ,prob- ably have learnt to master body as well as mind. CANADA'S POSITION Under the caption; "B'ennett Plays Srn'rewd Game," the Birmingham Mali says: Will Canada follow South Africa off the gold standard? An idea of sim- ilarity of conditions, due probably to the general world depression, haunts the judgment of London's fin'.aneial leaders with regard to the various Dominions. Generally speaking, . the English financier does not know Can- ada as, well as he should. The tenden- cy of the British mind to accept trad- itional ideas is a barrier. And .the Eng- lish financier making a grip to any of the Dominions very frequently takes Landau with him and deliberately keeps it with him. iliut Canada cannot he judged in such a way, nor can Canadian atmo- slthere, temperament, and vitality . be disposed of from a traditional view- poiu't. Not only are these characteris- tics typical of 'Canadians generally, but they are very typical of Richard Bennett, Prime Minister of Can- ada, who, beq'ause of then, inspired dislike among certain London journal- ists gathered at' the Imperial Confer- ence, They' expected him to act like one of their awn statesmen, in the cir- cumstances, bait he would not and did not, And London financiers are just as erroneous in estim'atin'g that under his guidance Canada will soon ,follow ,South Africa off the gold standard. The economic situation, is different in each Dominion, It is quite true, as la being pointed out in Thneadneedle Street, that there are 800,0;00 unemployed in Canada, ar eight per cent. of the population, but it is also true that Canada is fairly well organized so'ci'ally and that, get- ting on the train at Halifax, it takes one, riding night and,: day, six days to .cross the. Canadian continent, a ,vast country full to the brim of natural re- sources, which in ,normal times eau's' eas'il'y sustain a in, af a hun- dred mill'ion. There is pl'enity df land to which unem,pil'oyed Canadian's can go and the ,provincial governments are finding it profilbable to subsidize the unemployed' and send thelnr out on the land. In truth, at the worst, ,and wiithout Money or fanning, all a healthy un- employed Canadian needs is a gun, a few traps and some warm- clothes and he can step out into .his own wilds and they will support' him. There are many reasons why the situation in Canada cannot be judged by general features. Far many years," economically,. Canada , was a milk - caw .for the United States, This ended when Rlic'hard 13. Bennett came into power and put up duties twice ,against that country. S'in'ce that time Canada more than any other Dominion, .has aalai ted i'lve Empire unity and trade agreements established by the Imper• ial' Conference at Ottawa iast Sunt- ine'. 'S'he has now found the new eoouam•i•c association and markets w'hic'h s'he sought, saoti!ficing for the moment 'a good .deal in, the way of weaker inndi st :cs to get them, but 'the fundamental s•tinrulus from the new• agreements is alrea'd'y in evidence, and Canada, more, quicicly.and fnore per- manently than any other country wil' soon have matched straight out of the depression. Increasing Exports , The stimulu's ' is already evident tinnber, even as far wets as British Gol enabsa, in Ifislb'eries, in canned goods, in all hinds of tnlinling (copper nncluded),•in wlheh't and Other grains l(wjih Uhe Western wheat crop a 'bumper), and in nanwlfeclbur!inig and :produce ]lines distinctive af' Canada, with She 'Canadian exlp'orter at last 'mlalcing a speoiflie attempt to . riteet 'Eth p'bre standards, Exports from Can- ada to the rest elf bhe Empire shloWed an increase of 6,030,090 dollars (£1,- 216,000) in Oldtdber, and another in- crease in November.

Bennett rides asbelide' the gold standard- though some people cam.plain he is not an it because he does not permit s'hipments of .gold when they think he should—'and the Canadian dollar is ]dept sufficiently stable for world tteade and sufficiently beneath the A- merican dollar toassist Empire trade, whichsuits the astute Mr. Bennett very well. The great plant of the British Em- pire has started, as it were, under one roof, and the combined result should be extraordinary, .Within itself it con- tains everything, even its own mar- kets. MORE 'SPEED TO THE CAMERA It is some two years since Baron Shiba, of Japan, demonstrated 'motion picture filar which took place at the rate of over -40,000 a second. He em- ployed ordinary motion picture :filet but also a camera h; which the film ran continuously at the tate of over 2,000 miles a minute. !The 'baron was studying such high speed phenomena as, :the flow of air about the wings of airplanes, or its motion as the air was brushed aside by the tips of the .propeller. .If the object had 'been photographed in a steady light the 'result would have been hopeless; merely a ,dark; blur- red, fogging al the whole negative, 'The feat was to illuminate the object by a source af light that flashed on and off with the highest possible speed or, said another way, in .the least pos- sible time. The technical skill ,o'f the work then, was to make the moving filen attain just sufficient velocity to requiring skilled and trained o'bserv• - err who 'have learned by .experience what a minima may look like and not be fooled by the gh'os't peaks- which a novice may think he sees. out toward the re'd' end of the tins trent For quick photography this the' least thing that is desired, 'Nettie made in the other end of the s'pe'ctru 'toward the violet and ultra -violet, quire •much fess exposure time. 0 'can th'in'k af using film. made tsensiti to the red laud ;i'nlfra red by c'he'rnic' While this. is ,possible for single,plat Wand conceivablee 'even for an enti motion 'picture 'film, why n'ot, we toward the more obvious path proach and ase light possessing mo •actinic enact? Why not use. light po sessln'g more actinic effect? 'Weeny n use light 'sources that speed up phot graphy hike the spark, and ,which ke at the• same time the-oonsta'scy of Neon tube?' This is exactly the direction of r cent research. The use of a .Mercu' arc ass •an actinic light sonirce is de 'cri'bed. 'Wlhile : the word etrobosco:p sound's technical 'ht'merely means th they wish to use their tnencury lam to take Whet looks like stationary pi- tures if a ni'oving .object, a dynantl a prope1be'r, and such; or use such lamp to make {high-speed motion 'pie tures of rifle !bulle'ts in flight, or !Blas .Shi'ba's aerod'yna'mic- problems.. They have not tale motion ,plc tures with the slpeel Which Baro 'Shiba ,has: already used, But . thei work indicates that a speed of '50,00 pictures "a second can.can.be obtained :This can Ibe done 'because their ligh source is faster (flashes ons and goe out quicker)', than Baron 'Shiba's. A the •same time it 'possesses the con stancy of illumination obtainable i the INeo'n tube, To equal •the Japanes work they 'have only to construct camera :which will move the film a the necessary rate. So far Edgerson and Germsshause have concentrated on taking 'bette stroboscopic pictures o'f moving ob jects and >let the super -high-speed mo- tion pictures alone, ;True, they have reached a speed of 4180 pictures a sec- ond', but the gap between that speed and 40,000 a second is great. What o'ne can really say -without exaggeration, is that they have made an improve- ment which, if pursued in the, right direction' 'may equal or surpass' the peak of 40,000 pictures a second. ete is es on re- ne ve cls.' es, re rk p- r s - of ep rhe e- ry s - be at c- o, n' n 0 t e a n r ,But in some .ways it is doubtful if they are especially anxious to set out in this direction. Other problems, more 'scientific than engineering, may be. helped by the right SDPPcation of their mercury lamp source, Two in particular are among the most contro0 versial in the fields of physics and chemistry today. • The first of these is the magneto - optic methods of analysis used by Professor Allison to discover' the last two missing elements known to sci- ence. His entire work hinges on ,the; fact that one can observe maxima and minima in light frona'a spark gap running in air, as adjustments are made in the apparatus, bVi,ere these peaks come can be interpreted in term's, of the various elements pres- ent. Everything depends on' the ability of the eye to tell the presence of these variations, At best it is difficult work bring an unexposed 'portion of the Alm in ;place when the next flash came. !Suffice it to say that he was able to accomplish this feat and the engineer- ing world had another valuable tool of research. Mut 'what has transpired in experi- mental engineering and science dur- ing those two years? ;In what direc- tion has .research in this field of high- speed photography progressed? Of this it can be saidthatlike most re- search on same problem which main- tains its ,value aver a period of time (and Baron. IShiba's work has, certain- ly done that) and which has been started on principles ;proven correct, the later development, has been to im- prove o mprove' on some of the d'etails'whilch set up limiting handicaps. IIn Shiba's' work there are several of these hindrances. One, is the :light source, ,Although the used a 'high-vol- tage electric spark in air, the same handicap exists today for the other typical light soucee the' -Neon glow- latnp, Spark gaps of low light inten- sity can. 'be seen to fiieker, o,r ;possess variations in the average 'light inten- sity which they ,•emit. 'While; siparlc gaps of higher power appear to the unprotected 'eye as a very bright con- tinuous- source of light, the Fuse of suitable filters' discloses the same flickering in th=em:. . All this talk of the 'nou'conshancy of light from a spare: gap is given to emphasize 'tlhe fact that for motion pictures 01 this type it is vital that each individual 'picture be exposed to the same annouiit -of dight. 'Lack of this produces a film in which .parts are bright while others are 'weals. 'Neon •tubes have been used to 'over-' cone this flickering ,handicap. But in surnvouiiting the probtem 'af lightvar- iations they hitnoduce 'oho t•o.graphic problems. The alp:pearauce of a Neon tube even ta,the eye is decidedly red- dish 'or orange, .If examined with a ,eectrascope and 'broken up into 'its ccmpone tet color's its characteristic lines disclose that most of theta lie Investigators point out what many scientists have already said about the Allison method; that the spark fluc- tuates So enu'ch in intensity that a great source of error may creep in while making the observation. They propose the use elf their mercury lamp as a means of illumination for this ex- periment. Qtt cart attain frequencies fairly comparable with a spank gap and at the same time possess far more constant light intensity, 'The 'other :most ,important appli'ca- tion would appear to be the use of ,the: new development as a Sight. source 'for illuminating a 'Wilson expansion chamber, This is the apparatus which is 'becoming .more than ever the back- thome of a whole series of experiments in which the tracks olf cosmic ray par- ticles (ar waves?) are macle to show up 'for observation or ,photographing as they create little water` droplets along their path through the chamber. These ex'perim'ents tell science some- thing about the energies of these par- ticles, a little about their direction, much about the electric nature o'f the ionizing agent, IEdgerson and Gernn- eshausen propose their light source as an ideal one for sttch apparatus. "The duration of the flash," they say, "is some 10,000 times less than that of a photoflash and should give much sharper pictures."

And in' the automobile shows Which have just opened the 1933 motor season, de- sign is as much a center of attention as is the very evident mechanical ex- cellence of the year's models. "Streamlining" is the word on near- ly :everyone's lips, yet manufacturers recognize that 'true 'streamlining is something to which the public eye has yet to become accustomed and probably will do eo only by a gradual education. ,Thus the more carefully spoken motor makers call it "styling" when they describe the addition of aprons an ,the mudguards and beaver- tail effect an the rear of the car. For, like the false bents :serving no pur- pose except !that of decoration, these alteration's suggest rather than achieve streamlining. t4. single SWAN 090 car at the current auto shows has been .developed with a genuine attempt at streamlining, though even' it leaves much to be at- tained. iBut es the eye scans its clean lines, lines which are there 'far •a genu- ine purpose; a sense of flawing strength and 'hon'est 'designing effort is 'fel't. There can -be no doubt that the automotive engineers arefully cog- nizant of the value and- ,possibilities of streamlining. But they hesitate to de- sign anything so ra'dic'al for fe-ar that it aright not sell.,aitd''they would be faced not 'only with a year of poor sales but a lot of expensive .tolls which would 'have to be scrapped. 'The metering public has been nnade familiar with 'true streamlining by airplanes constantly shuttling over- head. The exclamations of the man .in the street about the simple but work- able lines of aircraft indicate the beau- ty that comes fractal design with a practical purpose. t True streamlining calls for a rain- drop or pear-shaped car, with the narrow 'part—and cansequently the motor—at the rear. This is very 'un- orthodox, but the eye quickly be- comes accustomed to such things, as can be sihawn by comparing cars of today with those -of ten years ago, at which .time today's m.od'els would have seemed extreme. Tine inherent feas'i'bility of the "raindrop" design is apparent in the excep•tianal vision it would offer the driver and the greater amount al passenger room possible on a given wtheeib'ase. 'Location of the motor al the rear not only would eliminate the long driving shaft but the heat, noise and ,fumes would be out of the -way. 'The whole 'question goes beyond appearance, for true streamlining is said to tn'eain c'vttiing fuel cost in half at the modern cruising speeds of fi'fty to sixty miles an hour! Put another way, it means a motor of half the power olf •today's enginescan give as march sPeed and efficiency in actual transportation. Certain only 'au'tomobiles actually carried 'whip sockets on the 'd'ash be- cause the carriages they were suc- ceeding 'had carried them. 1Today% car is still slowly struggling out of the limitations of that start. This year offers great opportunity, clue to the changed thought of the times, to oosen the 'bonds of automotive herit age and start the motorcar on a path of design particularly its o'avn, 1 D. D.
