This was a just reprimand, when one comes out and uses his efforts to defeat and becloud the efforts being made that the people, by their votes last September, demanded.

New Miracles Os The Photoelectric Cell < By James D. Purdy Director, Schoola of Electrical Engineering, International Correspondence Schools A N electric eye standing guard against smugglers is one of the unusual features of the new Free Port on Staten Island, New York. A 1000-watt ligfit casts its beam across 2700 feet of water to a photo electric cell at the opposite side of the entrance to the port. A launch or other vessel crossing the beam and shutting off the light from the cell, sets off a siren and causes the ring ing of a bell to warn the custom guards on duty. ♦ <t V v The photoelectric cell has been called into play to prevent lightning from interrupting the broadcasting of radio programs. If lightning strikes the antenna tower the flash is caught by a photoelectric cell trained on a discharge gap at the base of the tower. The cell sets up an impulse which through a compli cated mechanism shuts off the trans mitter’s power for a split second, preventing the station’s power from being drained off into the earth, as would otherwise occur. The interrup tion is so brief that it is imper ceptible to the radio audience. * a » A new type metal-working lathe has been developed abroad, which is controlled by a photoelectric cell and is said to be capable of pro ducing objects as shown by a draw ing, without the intervention of the human hand. After the machine has been adjusted, the cell scans the drawing and automatically produces the object in bhe indicated shape and dimensions. » » » The stars and a photoelectric cell are utilized to regulate with abso lute accuracy a new electronic clock installed for the Pope in Castle Gondolfo. When a certain star comes into the focus of the cell placed at the base of an astronomical tele scope, the light of the star causes the cell to set up an impulse which corrects any slight inaccuracy in the clock’s timing.

Institute Miscellaneous Hints FLOWERS: When irrigating, lay the hose on the ground and soak the soil between the rows. Sprink ling requires the use of more water and is less thorough. To get better and larger blossoms, cease watering when buds appear. For a continuation of bloom, pick flowers regularly. This is most im portant with sweet peas and pans ies. less so with petunias. VEGETABLES: Avoid the com mon mistake of letting vegetables grow too large before picking. Younger vegetables are more tender, more nourishing and more pala table. With a large percentage of the vegetables, get them comparatively early. Root crops—radish, carrot, beet—are at their best when hardly half grown. Pick peas just before pods fill out completely. Pick corn just at the "milk” stage, that is, when the ker nel, gouged witli the finger nail, yields a milky juice. Use summer squash when small, soon after the bloom has dropped off. Other vegetables, of course, should be allowed to mature more com pletely before using. Tomatoes should be ripened well on the vine, as should winter squash. Canta loupe are at their best when they need not be pulled from the stem, but roll off the vine at a touch. There are exceptions to some of these rules of course. For instance, some may wish to use green toma toes for special dishes or for can ning, or they may wish to allow beans to grow to the dry bean stage. Know Your Language • By C. L. Bushnell School of English. International Correspondence Schools A CRITICAL reader of a commit tee report wrote, "There are many omissions in the report.” That is impossible. An omission is some thing that is omitted or left out. If the omissions were in the report they wouldn’t have been omissions. In reporting a mountain climbing expedition a newspaper reporter wrote, “We followed the climbers step by step through the telescope.” That seems to be impossible, too, unless the climbers climbed through the telescope as well as up the mountain. ♦ * “Demean” is often used incor rectly as a synonym for “debase, degrade, disgrace,” as: “I never thought he could demean himself by such an act.” “Demean” is merely a synonym for “behave” or “conduct (oneself).” A person may demean himself either well or bad ly, just as he may conduct himself either well or badly.
