If the men with the machine stay all night, the breakfast may be the most awkward of all the meals. But that is because it crowds upon so many other early duties of the day. It can be managed by simply expanding the family breakfast. 'soldiers stripped for combat stand out against a background of bright blue sky and heavy white clouds, surround- ed by their khaki -clad comrades. Mrs. Knight is a woman in the early thirties, whose husband, Harold Knight, is also a well known artist. Their studio is in a charming, out-of- the-way village in Cornwall. If, as now seems probable, the con- servative old Royal Academy decides at last to open its sacred portals to women painters, Laura Knight is named as the most probable candidate for the honor of being the first of her sex to affix the magic Ietters "R. A." to her name. The "Cookhouse" of the 156th Cana- dian Infantry is the second picture. This picture is the work of Miss Anna Airy, another Englishwoman, whose work is very well known in her native land. It shows the huge caldrons of "chow" being prepared for the soldiers by the white -capped chefs, and it is all in greys and white, with the excep- tion of here and there the -brilliant yellow of the flame under the kettles. Because of the success of this can- vas, Miss Airy has recently been ap- pointed–by the British Minister of Munitions to paint a series of pictures showing the workers in the different bra -,•-es of munitions making for the lege life on him.

Value of College Training. Many parents are worlcing hard and denying themselves in order to send their children to college. The sacri- fices are worth while provided the girl or boy is willing to work out his or her education. A college education not only enables its possessor to ob- tain better business positions, but it enriches and enlarges the life in every way, if the student has made the most of his opportunities. But parents should be sure their children want an education and not merely a good time when they send them to college.

NDYet another is that of the Congo. Both are, deep than the oceannear their moatkl The Hudson, with the great bay into which it flows, is a "drowned river." That is to say, it is flooded by an in- truding ocean. The bay and lower river compose what would be called in Norseland a fiord. The Delaware is another drowned river. Chesapeake Bay is another. Long Island Sound is yet another. Why, should these ricers be drown- ed? What has happened to them? Well, you. see, it is like this: The whole east coast of North America has sunk a good deal in the course of ages, owing to the enormous weight of material brought down by the rivers and deposited out in the ocean off sl xe.

Needless to further exemplify the right of the Canadian public to the Belgians' gratitude. In expressing the sentiments which, indeed, we feel so glad to express, we consider it a duty to thank our confreres of the Canadian press, who not only were amongst the phalanx of standard-bearers heartily sympathetic to our just cause, but also have never missed an occasion to echo the distress of Belgium, to stimulate the good -will of the Cana- dian population, and thus to contri- bute in the most effective way to the laying of an international fraternity which shall always be very dear to the heart of Belgium.

Sun's Energy le Utilized by This De- vice to Produce Power For All Industrial Purposes. Coal and oil have served many gene- rations, and have added much to the enjoyment, comfort, and wealth of civilization. In the near future the world will not be dependent on the mine and the miner for industrial pur- poses. Steam will be, indeed now is being, generated without fuel, The increasing cost and diminishing supplies of fuel directed the attention of niauufacturers and scientists to other sources of power, and Di'. Wal- ter J. Harvey, of the Royal College of Science, Toronto, who has devoted a great deal of his time and resources to research work in connection with the application of light 'and heat to various mechanical uses, invented and developed the Luxostat. The sun pours its rays towards the earth in a never ending stream, giving heat, light and growth to the earth's surface. This sun energy is equal to 5,000 horse -power for an, acre of land. Moro than 500,000 horse -power on a 100 -acre farm. The Luxostat enables us to tap in on this enormous power reserve and convert it into heat, light and motion for immediate use for in- dustrial and other purposes or storo it for use on future occasions. Luxostat, Household Word in Future. Luxostat—an ,unfamiliar word_"–a word without meaning to the average person with a working knowledge of the English language, and yet a word destined to become as familiar as "Telephone," "Automobile," "Wire- less," "Aeroplane," "Submarine," and sone others which in our father's childhood days were unknown terms, and which now are so common and so intimate a part of our everyday life, that life as we now live it would be impossible without them, 'The Luxostat is a system of bat- teries of reflectors, with a mechanical contrivance by which the reflectors may be individually adjusted and coI- lectively operated so that the rays of sunshine falling on any number of re- flectors are directed and concentrated upon one common point. There Is practically no limit to the nunaher of refiectors that may be used, and, as each added reflector means an average increase of more than ten degrees Fah- renheit in the intensity of heat at the Point of concentration, it will be seen that any degree of heat required may he obtained and that the possibilities of the Luxostat for heat, power, and lighting purposes are unlimited. Greatly Reduce Manufacturing Cost. The Luxostat then, producing a great surplus of power, during the periods of sunshine, with a system of electrical storage batteries or water reservoirs, to take care of this surplus, .means an unlimited supply of power for industrial purposes, at practically no cost, without fuel, smoke or dirt. Its adoption means a great reduction in manufacturing costs, which seems not only desirable, but imperative at the present time. The commercialization of this inven- tion means that unlimited power will be available for every purpose. Tho cost of fuel is entirely eliminated. The Luxostat being almost automatic in its operation, the outlay for labor is great- ly reduced, while the equipment, when it is manufactured on a large scale, should cost much less than the ordin- ary steam plant, developing an equal horse -power, These facts, which Dr, Harvey has - fulIy demonstrated, should make the Luxostat of vital interest not only to every user of power, but to every user of manufactured goods, and more than all to the governments of the various countries who are suffering acutely from the high cost of living due to post-war conditions. .rp, Canny Finance.
