ed Gas Connects With
Any Socket
In Europe a new type of electric
lamp has made its appearance, which
marks an important development in
the art of illumination. It combines
the advantages of the mercury-vapor
are and of the neon tube and, unlike
either, can be connected directly with
any socket, The inventors are Dr. H lignt

of the most efficient known; that is, it
light than the ordinary incandescent,
converts more electric energy into
tungsten -filament lamp. Unfortunate-
ly, it has marked disadvantages. In
the first place, it has a ghastly, green-
ish -blue color, as any one can testify
who has ever seen it in a composing
room or photographic studio.
Furthermore, the mercury vapor can
be electrically excited to glow only
with direct current. If alternating cur-
rent is supplied, which is usually the
case, expensive additional services
must be used. In addition, the diffi-
culty of starting the tube by shaking'
it, together with the impossibility of
using one device for both alternating
current and direct current and the pos-
sibility oY moving the arc lamp during
he operation, has limited its use.
Disadvantages of Neon
Neon lamps seen in advertising
signs are also efficient, but restricted
in their applications. They operate
only on alternating current at very
high voltage. The rare gases in the
tube are excited by the electric cur-
rent. Different gases or vapors give
different colors, which explains the
red, blue and other lights that we see.
Moreover, like mercury arcs, these gas
tubes cannot be connected directly
with a socket because of the high vol-
tages required.
What is wanted is a lamp which will
have all the advantages of the mer-
cury and neon lamps, which can be
made to glow with any color, even if
the desired color is an approximation
of daylight, and which can be screwed
directly into any socket. Dr Spanner
is of the opinion that the filament
lamp has been developed as far as pos-
sible.
The German invention is a natural
evolution of existing vapor lamps. It
depends for its success largely on the
use of an electropositive metal in the
cathode. When electrically excited
this metal ejects large quantities of
— electrons from the atoms of the vapor
value. ,There is no liquid in the lamp,
nothing that resembles the old mer-
cury lamp. Moreover, it is about three
times as efficient as the best filament
electric lamp of equal candle-power,
which means that, for the same
amount of current, three times more
light is obtained. What is most im- j _
portant, the color is neatly that of day -l•
light.
One of the main features of the new
lamp is to be seen in the possibility of
using any kind of glas from the softest
glass to. quartz. Especially in using
"uviol" glass, so called because it
transmits ultra -violet radiation, the
ew lamp is very like a little sun so
ar as the color of .its rays is concern-
ed. 'These new lamps can be installed
in windowless offices and factories. be-
cause they give daylight illumination
with an. amount of ultra -violet rays
equal to that in sunshine on a moun-

Foot Dimensions Being
Sought in Great Britain
The British Boot, Shoe and Allied
Trades Research Association has
made researches at Northampton
which mark the first step .in a statis-
tical survey of foot measurements,
first of Britain and secondly, it is
hoped, of foreign countries, according
to the London correspondent of the
Journal of the American Association,
"At Northampton 2,500 people of all
ages were Measured," he says. "Each
foot was measured twice, once with
and once without the weight of the
body on it. The measurements are
declared to have pro ted the value of
the angles in the new methods of
measuring the scaffolds of the feet.
When the survey has been extended to
other towns, the association will have
a complete statistical record of the
boot and shoe measurements of Bri-
•
tain.
"The investigation on which the re-
port is based is the outcome of the
invention by the research workers of
the association of a . foot-measu:•ing.
machine, which reduces the present
uncertain method of measurement to'
a simple formula easily understood by
a person with an elementary knowl-
edge of trigonometry and geometry.
The new machine is the necessary
complement of the machine tools used
in the mass production of boots and
shoes.
"For centuries boots and shoes were
made by the craftsman, who supple-
mented his simple measurements by a
mental picture of his customer's feet.
"In malting the foot measurements
one important point seems to have
been overlooked. In civilized countries
some deformity of the foot due to the
wearing of boots and sloes is practic-
ally universal. Therefore measure-
ments of races which do not wear
these articles and of the few persons
who have always worn boots properly
made for them by a good craftsman
.should have been taken in order to
arrive at the measurements of the

IOW SHE HAS
"THAT KIiUSCHEN FEELING"
Everyone knows the meaning of the
famous phrase: "That Kruschen feel-
ing." Well, here is a typical instance of
the extreme reverse of that condition.
This woman had a perpetual tired
feeling. See how it affected her :—
" I am 34 years old, and the mother of
two small sons. So my life is n very
busy one. Ever since I can remember, I
have always suffered with a feeling of
tiredness, and never felt ready to get up
in the morning, even after 10 hours
sound sleep. I have often felt so tired
after lunch, that I have slept for 3 and
4 hours, having to do the work in the
evening. I took Kruschen Salts for a
fortnight—and lost the tired feeling
completely. I feel fresh and wide
awake, and have never felt better in
my life.'-r-li'Irs. E. 11. W.
Millions of men and women all over the
world take Kruschen Salts daily—not
because they are really sick, mind you
—but ,because they know the little
daily dose of Kruschen keeps them
always fit and energetic, i.nd also keeps
the system free from poisonous matter
caused by irregular or insufficient
elimination,
People wlio take Kruschen Salts every
morning don't have headaches, and
are always free from constipation,
1
depression, dizziness,
coated tongue and
• unpleasant breath.
They have no poisons
in their system because
the action of Kruschen
Salts on the liver, kidneys and bowels
causes perfect and regular elimination.
If you want joyous Health and glorious
vigor—to sleep soundly and arise in
the morning lit and refreshed—if you
want to work Bard and enijny your
work—try taking KrttseheniSalts every
day. Millions of people are enjoying
their daily labours, thanks to the
" lithe daily doses' of Krnsehen.
Rrasehen Salts is obtainable at all
Drug Stores at 450, and 7 ie. per bottle.,
