Showing off, however, did not appear as a major irritant. The . reasons are fairly obvious. Adultsare often more amused than annoyed by the "cuteness" and the at- tention getting devices o'f little chil- dren, Again, as the desire for notice tan frequently be better 'satisfied out- side the home than within, mothers and fathers may long remain in bliss- ful ignorance of the means to which their children are resorting in order to be cock-o'-th'e-wal'k at school or at play. Finally, since parents have been so •deffunitely f'ore'warned of the dang- ers of 'suppresion, they -welcome every sign which betokens that their sons and daughters are not developing a dread in'feriori'ty complex. !However, let Betty at 'thirteen ac- quire exaggerated speech and "woman of the world" m'ann'ers, let seven-year- old Jane interrupt and contradict her mother in the presence of eitrangers and ten -year-old John show an ir- repressi'ble urge to do acrobatic stunts or give a harmonica concert where there are guests at dinner, and the parent suddenly realizes that for: war"dness and ,boldness ` are not in themselves desiderata. What, then, shall she db about show-off behavior? Suppress it? Ilgnore it? Or seek tot give it new'directians and outlets? The psycho -analytic position in .re- gard to showing off is that like many of the impulses 'of the 'ohild '(and of the adult Who has infantile carry- overs) it is due to "the self-preserva- tion instinct seeking power and se- curity." In the case of thje one to three-year-old child, there is usually Little distinction made between favor- able and uniifavorable attentto'n. So long, as he has the centre of the stage in the lho'me circle he feels secure. The small bay or girl who throws his toys aibout in a tenepertantrum, who pulls down the hangings and, pushes the books off 'the :living room shelves, w"loo must have a small array of per- suaders about him before he will eat his meal, is old enough: and h;u'inan enough to derive great satisfaction from his display of power.. 'Punishment (for instance, depriva- tion of the food over 'which he has dawdled or exile from the living room he has upset) will teach the attention crasser toddler "sod?al" behavior, Ain outlet for this energy by Proper sur- roundings and equipment (and here the home tan learn enormously from the nuirsery school'. and kindergarten) will decrease the pos's'ibilities of mis- chief. But neither punishment nor egsdipmenit will serve if the Mother is constantly fussing over the child and making him feel thialt the entire uni- verse ;is revolving about .hilm. Since little children' learn by imita- tion parents slh!ould be mindful of the example of speech and gesture they set'for small sons .and daughters. We heave all met children who even at three or four seem tiny replicas of a pom'p'ous heather br a gushing, arti- fi'ci'al, another, Sdmetintes imitation is un'consciou's; often it is conscious. Farther who has set his family roaring by imitating' a' flat relative's` walk' ,r mother who Has entertained the home circle by baking off her Best friend should not be surprised' if these per - formances are repeated by site show-offs at inopportune 'moments. 'Sometimes the 'child's imitation the . parents has more serious con quenees, than the embarrassment the moment. A girl of nine has father who is` proud of the fact ti he "works hard and plays hard." T neighborhood is always made awa by his loud talk, 'boisterous laugh and the sounding of hlis auto ho just, when he is off 'to his golf, 1 boat or his hunting trips. The moth pretty and food of dress, is forev "on the go," and always much in :e deuce wherever she chances to The girl, heaped with toys and e pensiive athletic equipment by • is otherwise negligent parents, has b come the neighborhood show-off a hoyden. 'I i c• } t s loci, however, her uYt lack of concentration has meant fa ure and unhappfaiess. Mental tes show `that her intelligence quotient average, and her boundless ,physic energy, her friendliness and gene osity are positive assets. Nevertheles if circu nstances do' not change home, the girl's fixation on her pa eats, and her 'd'esire to emulate the showiness and .bluster will, acc'ordin to the school psychol'ogis't, make :f increasing difficulties in her scho career. For the 'benefit 'of reserved and u assuming ".parents who stand at . th opposite pole from the mother an father Instanced above, it should b made clear that many of the acts of child which seen. to them to indicat an inordinate craving for -atteutfo may be just a normal 'impulse to •ge away from the humdrum and th commnonplace. The small boy's urg to "be a wild man," the li'tt'le girl' "pretend" that she is a grown lady her alder sister's zeal to copy th clothes and speech of the mori queens, are often prompted by . natural and healthy desire to ,escap the familiar. Again when at adolescence, a form erly quiet and retiring daughter de velops into a noisy and giggly youn person or when one's gentlemanly sot becomes an excellent spitball marks man with the prettiest girl on the bus as his target, one need not turn " to Freud to discover the reason for such deni'eanor nor become unduly alarmed about it. If, hb'w'ever, showing off seems to 'the parent a mask and a croak to 'comer an overwhelming feel ing of inferiority there should be no idle waiting for the phase to pass. Dr. Mandel Sherman has said tha when, children employ day dreaming as a means of gaining their desires there is a probability that, their wor- ries have been developed to the pain of danger. Similarly :with showing off: when it becomes a compensation for defects, teal or imagined, it needs the serious consideration orf parents and teachers. The new psychology teaches that braggadocio and bluster- ing are as frequently " characteristics of a sense of inferiority as shyness and shrinking. Often the same indi- vidual may alternate ,between timidity and bravado. A small boy who Was afraid of ani- mals was given a good-natured little dog for a pet. "'Does your dog snap?" asked a visitor a few days after the child had grown accustomed' to his new contpanion. "I should say so," answered the boy. 'When I'in not around he snaps at ' everybody who comes to the house. Yesterday he bit the grocer's boy." The mother con- trolled her impulse to 'punish the child for his lie, "Bob likes ' to' pretend that his dog is a vicious beast these first days," she passed the natter' off casually. Later on, she called his at- tention to his em'p'ty, boasting ,and pointed out to him that, although his dog would never win renown for savagery, he could be taught many tricks' which his owner could' show with pride. An analysis of many types of crime has revealed that far from .being prompted by any actual need or any sudden passion they are often caused by a craving for attention that finds' no outlet in normal ways. The mur- derer who wantonly kills and becomes) a hero of his gang, the kleptomaniac u'ho steals from her friends in order to assert her power (if ,only to her- self), the ringleader of a group of Youths who 'plunder and destroy tfor the excitement of the adventure, may all be seeking compensations for tli'wartings and snlppressions in their early history., These tate extreme, in same respects pathological cases. Batt it takes no great stretch Of the im- aginiati'on,'to see their •possi'btl'e 'blegin- n,ing's in the normal 'child who is af- forded no opportunity for saltisfying his_ ego, no t'echn'ique ;for realieln'g his individual dre'a'ms. • The in:diividuaIl child, then, whether he be an introvert type 'with his in- terest - centred chiefly in an. inner world of his own m'akin'g, or an ex- travert with most of,''his energies di- recte'd outwand to people and ob!jeots, must be given a chance to "count" by training and -encouragement along 'the linee in wlhich tale reveals particu'= lar aptitudes.

A widening of the girl's or boy's' horizon through the opportunity to 'see or read about the achieve- ments along the lines of his specialty will often- be a truer service than thoughtless adulation.Contentiousness, argumentativeness and tendency to criticize everything aud everybody which parents so 'great- ly deplore in their .adolescent sons and daughters, are a farm of show-off be- havior which represents both a com- pensation for inferiority and a sub- conscious desire to appear adequate- do the grown-ups' world, Tlie parents who are most baffled by this type of conduct frequently are the individuals who have sought to conceal their own sense of iar.leriority behind a know-it- all attitude.

A' study of the trend of market io-!prices of lambs for the year 1932 re- p- Yeats that. these declined gradually By with the advance of the season. In ad ,jute rh932, larn'bs w'er'e selling' at $110 st per hundred, in August �G:'s0, and in c-ilNovember $4)50. Although on a high- er scale, this year's prices so far show the same tread. In order to realize greater returns lambs should be marketed as early as possible provided they have the prop- er finish, In the early season, lamb; are generally lighter, but if they are fat andblocky a the price obtained more than makes up for the difference in weight and thus greater profit is real- ized. From the Central Experimen'ta'l. Tann Patin for the last three years during. 'the months of July, August, Septem- ber, October and November, a group of lambs has been sent to the market in order to ascertain which would 'bring the greater, profit. Invariably the early marketed ' groups brought the greatest return in spite of a slight- ly lighter weight. (Every farmer should, therefore, en- deavour to grow arta fatten his lambs as rapidly as possi'ble. To do so, heal- thy lambs and good feed are necess- ary. Worm infested lambs, however, well fed, will not make .satisfactory gains. On the other hand, healthy lambs on scanty or unsuitable pasture allay grow, but will not come. to the proper finish that the, market 'de- mttttd's, 'Treat your lambs for, worms. Give then a clean fresh pasture such as second growth alfalfa or clover, green oats or rape. They will eat it with re- lish. A little grain will prove econom- ical if the pasture is not sufficient, Oats and bran, or oats alone,` are ex- cellent feed. ,'Above all remember that the fat, 'blocky, properly finished lamb will bring the highest price. a s m 0 m s d s e Miller's 'Worm' Powders prove their value. They do not cause any violent disturbances in the stomach, any pain or griping, but do their work quietly and painlessly, so that the destru'c- tion of the worms is imperceptible.

The inventor' is Dr, Francois C. Henroteau, head of the Astrophysical branch of the Do nyinion Observatory at Ottawa. 'Dir. Henroteau has been working for 10 years on an apparatus which he hoped would facilitate astral observa- tion. It is stated that application of the apparatus to television had not been contemplated until his research disclosed the possibilities fa that dir- ection. Use of the photo -electric cell is said, to be the basis of the invention which has been patented in the Unit- ed States after a series of tests. IPine detail television looms on the radio'horiaon as the result of news re- leases of the past few months. If the proposed system materializes, non- mechanical, all -electric television may ibe commercially available within 112 months. Incidentally, the announce - meat of almost identical devices from two points promises a, new and inter- esting patent controversy. (Some '10 years ago, while radio eng- ineers were delving into the mysteries of the radio receiver research, a young astronomer, .Dr, 'Francois Henroteau, now head of the Astrophysical Dep- artment of the,'Dotninion of Canada, scanned the heavens at night. !Seeking 'to increase knowledge of the stars and teohnically inclined, he considered the possibility of applying lightsensitive devices such as photoelectric cells to, the astronomical research. IHtiinan eyes are very sensitive, but actual- ly p'hotocells are more sensitive in that they take ina wider band of" colors than the eye. Since the stars project their light in many of these ordinarily invisible colors, they will register on a photocell more quickly than will the .human eye. (Finally the solution hit: IDt.:Hen- roteau. He worked out a plan for an u'ltraaflexible means of star-gazittg— an electric eye as facile as the human eye, yetassensitive to the colors of the spectrum a's a photo -cell. Truly a "super -eye." !Photocells are used in televisi'oat: !Therefore it was a logical step to con- sider the use of this "super eye". as a television camera. Cathode ray tele- vision was rapidly coming to the fore and this device, 'which acts mb'c'h as a cathode ray tube, appeared to 'be the solution of cathode ray television. !Like all good inventions the Hen- roteau super eye' is simple, as simple_ .as the cathode ray tube itself. The image to he televised is :picked up by a high-grade .photographic lens and focused on a plate inside a glass tube, m.tach like a television cathode ray tube. This 'plate is made up •of millions of tiny ` globules which are miniature photocells.' A sweeping beam of 'light or electrons rapidly scans this 'plalte in the familiar cathode 'ray manner. With 'the imaage constantly on the plate each:., cell has the opportunity -to fully 'register the am'oun't of light or, shade the lens directs upon it. As the scanning beam sweeps each minute cell 'it releases .the electricity charged tap in that cell, 'th'e'amotint varying according to the amount of light or �r 7 A I.ere ? a;xdi rni do ore and cam:at:tit s of or'ly..... ono tree which has b,rno ll1 different varieties ut 'pilon u:.d one variety of pears by means of careful grafting, is located in Eastern Canada.

Polk, acting secretary of state for the United Crates In 1918-19, wellknowu cor-. poration lawyer and director of many companies including the Chase National 13anit and the Northern Pacific Railway, is stay- ing at the Banff Springs Hotel with his family for the simmer vacation. More than equalling expecta- tions the New York -Montreal cruise of the Duchess of Bedford, set a new holiday record for'spe- cial trips recently when 800 pas- sengers took the excursion. Guar- anteed a romantic moon every night and a picturesque run down the St. Lawrence, the passengers embarked steadily at the rate of three to the minute for five hours. Wheat -cutting is now general in Manitobaand under way in the other prairie provinces, according to a recent weekly report issued by J. M. McKay, general agricul- tural agent, Canadian Pacific Railway, Western Lines. There is still, however, great need for fur- ther moisture, especially in the central and southerly parts of the grain -growing provinces. Fresh from it victory in which he carried an appeal for a Chinese sentenced, to hang,to the Privy Council, ending in commutation to life imprisonment, Rev. Father Joseph S. Donovan, of Marylen;oll, N. Y., landed at Vancouver from Hong Kong aboard the Empress of Canada. recently. IIe was frankly pleased at his success in the role of priest -lawyer, but his only comment was: "Fre try, to help where we can."

The discharge places the voltage up- on the grid of aa amplifying tube. !The outstanding advantage 'of this method of te'levision pick-up, besides the simplicity, is the fact that pictures of .tremendously fine detail up to 500 lines a frame, are possible; pictures with such good light pickup that the long -dreamed of out-of-door scenes of baseball and football games become near realities: It is this powerful light pickup and consequent light impulse' which makes this super eye the connecting link in bringing cathode ray television to a point' of .practical utility. The cathode :rayreceiver had been foreseen by early workers, but a me- thod of picking up the picture which would work up to the 500 line possi- bilities of the cathode ray picture re- producer seemed remote, Mechanical' 'methods completely flailed. Even though the speed could' be obtained by high speed and unwieldy apparatus the 'breaking up of the picture into so many fine clots made each one so small that amplification ' to arty useful point was impossible to all intents and purposes. With the Henroteau device, the scanning beam sweeps with the speed requited for the 500 line television, but instead of being limited to the microscopic amount of light impulse which would •result in the ordinary method of pickup, the beam arrives at each dot'•to find it holding a relat- ively large electrical charge which the beam releases in'stant'ly. On a ba- sis of 24 pic'ture's a ,second; it means that each minute particle will give an electrical impulse based on an expos- ure of 11'44 o'f a se'con'd, instea'd of 1i11'',00!0,000 of a second under ordinary' scanning conditioars. !Douglas' .'Egyptian- ;Liniment is es pecial'l'y recommended for spider, or infection Of cow's, teat..
