The usual photo -electric cells, in which a coating of potassium or caes- ium is placed on the inner surface of a Partially' or totally evacuated bulb, can be operated only . with auxiliary sources of electric currents. When 1 light 'falls on these types of cells, the coatings omit electrons which maybe collected with a charged electrode, which is also placed inside. However, with the new Lange cell the light Mils on olie of the title lam 1 inatious of copper and electrons are driven off it and pass through the cop- per oxide layer, which is of extreme thinness, only a few layers of mole- cules deep. When these electrons reach the second eopper layer they are converted into auelectric current., Tide current follows the light varia- II Mone Without appreciable lag, due to 4 the short distance they have to travel I through the thin layers. 11 In recent tests with tite cell, rapidly flickering lights were caused to play on it and the resultant currents were is fed into a loud speaker to produce audible tone- that followed the rate of flickering perfectly.

Canada the Best? i Ottawa -02 all countries in tate world, Canada is the best place to live in. at tho present time, deelarded Lord Willingdou, Governor-General, recent- ly. ecently. IIis Excellency referred to the ap- proaching end of his tenure es Govern- ▪ or-General and paid a tribute to the people of Canada for the great khul• nese and spirit of generous friendship in which he said lie and Lady Willing - don had been always received.

Only two words, a dozen letters, but what a vblume they speak, They were one Melt- ' tive's brief description of how a mese senger boy responded to a call. It was the significant thing to the person who sent for him that he "came asmil• lug."

No matter how much one may smile and smile, there are plenty of smiles left for to -morrow, next week and' next year; They are limited in output only by the individ- ual who uses them. They don't wear out—in fact they keep other things from wearing out, for they are among the best lubricattts.

ISSUE No. 22—'302 Punishment -Wise Or Otherwise Lenora Bailey Joan was having a delightful time entertaining her cousins, Elizabeth and Ben, and two little neighbors, Louise and Jimmy. The five children had played games, eateu ice-cream and plain calve, and now were resting in the cool shade of the plum trees. "Oh, dear, look at the spots 011 my dress," said Louise. 'Will ,your mother spalls You?" ask- ed Elizaebth, "No -o -o -o. I don't think so." "'Course she won't spam; you unless she gets mad with you 'cause she will, bare to 'w'asii the dress," remarked Jimmy, "My daddy doesn't whip me unless he catches me doing something bad;" volunteered Ben, 'so I sure try to keep hint from fluffing' out what I do." "My father spanked me, yesterday 'cause I tools some of his tobacco for Roy and Peter.. I .don't thiulc he should be so mean. 1 -le had a lot of tobacco and I know he out dn't miss what I took," was Jimmy's contribu- tion. "Olt, but he punished you so you'd' remember not to take what didn't be- long to you," explained Joan. 'Aw, no, he didn't! He t " it just. 'cause he wanted the tobacco all for himself, When I get as big as he is I'll take all I want, and I bet he won't whip ine." "Mother got mad and spanked me ' because I didn't know she wanted me to watch tite baby and he pulled a knife off of the cabinet and cut his ' finger," thoughtfully said Louise. ' "Well," said Elizabeth, "Mother sure did spank me last week for los- ing her riding whip, and I had never touched it. She found it in the para- I sol rack where she had put it herself." 'Mother hardly ever spanks me,"I said, the little hostess, "and then it is just to make me remember not to do the bad things again. She hates to do it, too—" "Olt, gee, my mother doesn't hate to," interrupted Jimmy. "She just gets mad and takes her spite out on me Over just anything." 'We both cry when my mother has to spank me. Wo don't either of us like it. But it sure makes me remem- ber not to do things she tells me are wrong," continued Joan. A11 were silent for a few minutes thinking the thoughts of Little people about the unfairness of adults, per- haps. "Let's play tag some morel" sud- denly exclaimed Elizabeth.

"A highbrow is one who has been educated above his intelligence," was the auswer given by Ivor Brown, dra- matic critic, to a question by Sir Ern- est Wild, IC.C., the Recorder, during a mock trial held recently at the London School of Economics. The "trial" was of James Agate, dra- matic critic of the British Broadcast- ing roadcasting Company, who was charged with "falsely pretending to be a highbrow." He was found "not guilty." THE ANAEMIC GIRL Who Has Lost Her Charm and Beauty "She seems to be losing her looks." This remark is often beard. about girls who were once noted for their spark- ling eyes, their rosy cheeks and their vitality, . The cause is not far to .seek —they have become anaemic; that ee. counts for the pallor and the loss of charm. The anaemic girl, if she neg- lects her health, may be a sufferer all her life. Take heed, yon pale, anaemic girls. Plenty of fresh air, uouriehing food and rest will help you, but what you need most is good blood. Those wretched headaches; that fickle appe- tite and those terrible heart palpita- tions can only be banished if the blood Is rich, red and pure. Good blood—the kind that brings good health, is created by Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills.
