Bernie—II/deg of energy of sunlight;•
for running small machinery its a pos

Photo -electric cell capable of convert-
ing ha
onverting1Ig it directly into power in useful
amounts, The new cell is the. inven-
tion of D1. B. Lange, of the Kaiser
'Wilhelm Institute of; Silicate Investi-.
gation. Many schemes have been ad-,
vaned for using sunlight energy for;
power purposes, but they have all
teen, heat appliances, while the new
method is au electrical one. I
The device consists of a thin layer
of copper oxideplaced between two'
outer loyers. of copper and may also '•
prove to be a revolutionary improve
inept in television and talking moviug
pictures as well as in other *phases of
scientific application..
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.
Lord Willingdon saki he had been
an agriculturist in the old days, "On
occasions like this I sometimes tlilntc
to myself, "You would have been a
much happier mau if you had not un-
dertaken ail the other Jobe you have
liad in the past 26 years." No Country
had a brighter future than Canada,
His Excellency said, and in a very few.
. years the Dominion would go forward
to increased prosperity. In Itis recent
visits he had eon struck by the evi-
dences of moresatisfactory farming
conditions than he had witnessed
Since coming to Canada.

"Come asmiling." 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." IIe also may have come arun-.
ning and out of breath but the fact
that his face bore a smile made the
big impression,
Smiles aro not a commodity that
may be monopolized by any one in-
dividnal or group of Individuals, They
are the inherent property of every
man, woman and child, 'Thep' source
is inexhaustible. 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. And there are
enough 10 the world to oil the path
and lighten the burdens for everybody,
And so whatever and wherever may
ever theper-,
be the activity,and whoever
P
son may be, 11e widens his field of
helpfulness . it 11 can be said of him
tha he "came asmiling," Whether :in
greeting the other members of the
family et the breakfast table, or his
neighbor awaiting the street car at
the corner, or his fellow woiticers at
shop, store or office, if he "came
asmiling" he helped himself and hotb-
ed them on the road to an easier and
better day of accomplishment.

Punishment -Wise
Or Otherwise

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. "You are
it, Jimmy," and away they went—

What Is Highbrow?
Too Much Education?
"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-

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
