Will Use Hypnotism College Professor Has Idea It May Ald Education Knowledge which could not be ob- tained otherwise without years of study may be acquired in a single semester if education by hypnotism tests to be tried this semester at the College of the City of New York are successful, Dr. Ralph B. Winn said. Ten students will be used in the tests. “Small gray balls will be suspend- ed before the students’ eyes” he sa‘d. “Only a few minutes will be required for their eyes to shut automatically. Yet they will not be asleep. They will be in a state of light hypnosis. When I begin to lecture in a slow, even tone, I shall try to evoke vision after yision in the students’ minds.” Students will be selected from volunteers of the psychology class.

Migration To Old Country Said To Be Healthy Sign Of Eco- Starting The Seed Indoors Gives Grower An Early Start With flowers, variety and continu- ity of bloom are sought. In making the list care should be taken to secure a preponderance of favorite colors as well.as varieties which will assure bloom every month from June until frost. There should be some for scent, some for bouquets, some to brigaten up shady corners, and others for window boxes, or tall screens. With a range of colors rivalling the rainbow, with a season of bloom for annuals from May until November and with heights varying from an inch to over six feet, it is not at all difficult to plan a perfect Canadian flower garden. Too many people are content with one sowing of vegetables. But that custom, fortunately is disappéaring. Many vegetables are best planted very early. Spinach, peas, lettuce, and radish, for instance, cannot be put in too early. Just as soon as the soil is fit to work is the time for the first of these. But with the tender stuff like melons, cucumbers, corn, and the started plants there is no rush, as long as there is a possibility of frost. Then, too, it is a big mis- take to plant all at one time. Prac- tically everywhere two or three plant- ings at intervals of ten days of many vegetables can be made and thus the harvest spread over a longer period. With some things, however, and some places this is not possible but the harvest may be extended by using several varieties. This course is best followed with peas. The early plant- ed peas are the best yielders, but by sowing an early variety, a medium sort and a late cropper, though all are planted the same day, there will be a difference of ten days to three weeks in maturity. | Little Journeys In Science FREE TRIAL OFFER KRUSCHEN If you have never tried KKruschen—try it now at our cxpense.

Guest, M.A.) Fish which carry electric charges powerful enough to render their enemies unconscious are found in certain parts of the ocean and in some tropical rivers. These fish are equipped with “electric organs”, re- sembling plates of a battery, which in some cases produce illumination and in others merely give the fish power to give off electric shocks. Luminous fish give off light in vari- ous ways. One variety of fish has lights arranged along the sides of its body, giving it the appearance of an ccean liner at night. Another has @ lantern suspended before its nose. The light given off is mostly blue and green in color and is said to be very luminous, at times resembling a flame. The electric eel, one of the most interesting of the electric fish, does not give off light. It has two op- positely charged electrical organs running along its back which pro- duce a continucus current from head to tail, and make the eel capable of giving off pi rful electric shocks. With many flowers and veg from two to three weeks can be saved if the seed is started indoors. Indeed, in districts where the grow- ing season is rather short certain things must be grown in this way if bloom or maturity is to be guaran- teed. Among the flowers are pansies, In the trop! al rivers of Africa are found catfish about three feet in- length, which are capable of giving U. when Canada’s dollar was below ours, | sometimes even twenty cents or more | .c. Upholds National Honor “8. Paper Praises Canada For Attitude Over Money Matters ‘All through the months and years | lower, Canada met every obligation to American investors with the equivalent in gold. With the excep- tion of the City of Calgary, in Al- berta, neither the Dominion govern- ment nor any of its provinces nor a single town or city ever asked for any consideration. If, for instance, 4 Canadian city had $1,000,000 worth of bonds mature in this country when the Canadian dollar was twenty cents lower than ours, it dug up without a whimper or a word of complaint $1,200,000 of its people's money and paid like men. To-day when the ‘anadian money is worth more than ours, instead of throwing our dollars back in our faces, tHey are actually paying their coupons in Canadian funds, so that holders in the United States are getting a premium. What a contrast to the way our own gov- ernment is treating foreign investors in our bonds! It deliberately flaunts its promise to pay in gold and dozsn't do as Canada did, give the equivalent of gold, but instead hands them a dollar worth but sixty cents. W' have heard since childhood about the honor of the Anglo-Saxon. But it appears to depend in a great measure on where the Anglo-Saxon lives. Why should it be so much different on one side of the border than on the other? We take off our hats to our Canadian cousins.

Scientists have not yet discovered exactly how these electric organs function. It was once thought that the illumination was due to the pres- asters, marigolds, zinnias, p cosmos, larkspur, stocks, and snap- dragon, though with the possible ex- ception of the petunia and aster in the warmer sections of the Dominion, good results can also be secured from seed sown in the open ground. » eB plants, Brussell’s sprouts, broccoli, celery and head lettuce. Naturally, when sown under glass in March, and set out as well started plants in May, such things are away ahead of seed sown in the open ground after the spring frosts are over. ———————— A Condensed Report A -cub reporter who had had it drilled into him for weeks to be brief, wrote as follows: “While walk- ing down Main St. with a friend this morning, Col. Joe Slocom said: I feel that I am going to die.” So he leaned against a telephone post and made good.” With vegetables there are peppers, ence of p) or to given off by decaying matter in the sea, but these theories have been en- tirely disproven. What scientists do know, is that a process is carried on in these electric fish, which man has not been able to duplicate as yet. That is, energy is changed into elec- tricity without producing heat, a feat which has never been accomplished by man. Radio Singers Use Cellophane Coloratura Soprano Voice Muted In- side Hood Of Material Cellophane has now come to the aid of the radio singer. It has al- ways been difficult to get a really good rep of a soprano voice on the radio. Strange things happen to such voices on the air. Then came the idea of muting the voice. A hood of the transpar- ent material was made, in which a singer can stand and sing her high- est notes without fear of microphonic vibrations.

Smiles At The Border Canadians Find U.S. Immigration Officials Are More Friendly Commuters from -Canada to the} United States will wonder what has come over Uncle Sam's immigration officials at border points. At Detroit they have a cherry “Good morni for Windsor folk going over to their work. One official in an excess of cordiality, referred smilingly to “our cousins over the river.” All the old gruff manner cultivated by the, im- migration official has disappeared. Of equal interest is the news that Uncle Sam has ordered it so. Through the proper channels the instruction has filtered down to the man at the gate “to wear a smile and extend the glad hand to visitors from Canada.” Optimists will see in this cordiality at the border a hint that there may be in the mind of Uncle Sam some thought of freer trade with Canada. —Toronto Globe.
