TOO MUCH LAW STUFF

“Some of the bills we passed. from the unlegal point of view, contain too much Latin phraseologyi, and too much English too." This protest was registered recently in the Prince Ed- ward Island House of Assembly by the representative of one of the rur- a1 districts. It recalls a. somewhat

wonder that he would be pleased to ,

repeat the experience. Seeing the condition in which the roads were left and remained, during the past summer, _one wonders ‘what they would be like if he had put another

Notes By_T he Way

For the first time in history the "Flapper" vote will make itself felt in Great Britain at the general election next month. In anticipation of this. Mr. Winston Churchill, for the gov- cz-nment, has aztempted to make the Conservative TS-GIECRlOII sure by abolishing the tea. duty. Everybody drinks tea in the old country, it is the staple article of diet morning noon and night, not to omit four o'clock in the afternoon as well. It stands to reason that a budget that will relieve the housewives of $30.- 000,000 per annum will have some weight with the “household voters" at the forthcoming election.

Notwithstanding the abolition of the tea duty, Mr. Churchill esti- mates a. surplus in the coming year of $20,000.000. This indicates the slow but sttre recovery of the Moth- er Land from the disastrous conse- quences of winning the war. Had she not fought and won she would have been wiped of! the map. but the act of winning reduced her to a skele- ton ‘of her former industrial pros- perity, It is noteworthy the Govern- ment has no intention of relieving at this time the Income Taxpayer-not that it is not recognized that relief .is necessary. but such relief would not add a single vote to the Gov- ernment at the coming election. 5o the hard burdened income taxpayer must wait unzii a new parliament has been elected for a measure of relief. and meantime, the Government has given new courage ‘to the unemployed by promising to increase from the $60,000,000 surplus realized from last year's budget. the percentage grant for road improvement and new construction. This. of course, is to offset the unemployment policies launched by Mr. Lloyd George and. Mr. Ramsay Macdonald, both of whom have specified road work as a means toward relieving the burden of unemployment and increasing and facilitating the mean; of transporta- tion for industrial and tourist devel- opment.

Talking pictures are likely to oust the present movies within a. compar- atively short time. Realizing this Messrs. F‘. G. Spencer, Ltd., have reorganized their business and have issued $200,000 new stock. We may, before long have "The Talkies" as regular features of our public enter- tainments. It nteans- however, a very considerable cost converting a. silent movie theatre into a. "Talkie" theatre.

The new sight and sound pictures are, the product of a. machine called the vitaphone. In taking pictur- es, the sound is recorded on a disk. To synchronize the disk with, the film would be relatively simple if the camera could be fastened down at any given point.

But a motion-picture camera has to b:- moved about constantly, so two separate motions have to be used. The two motions are electrical- ly interlocked so they will run in unislort.

As the camera records the pictures the sounds are picked up by a mic- rophone on the ceiling and translat- ed by electrical impulses that are fed into a. powerful vacuum-tube amplifier. The impulses from the am- plifier operate a tool that makes the groove .in the musicr record. Finally, when the picture is shown in the theatre, the projecting machine and

site ends of the same molor. The stylus, or needle, translaacs the im- pressions in the dick back into elec- trical surges. and a powerful audio- Amplifier magnifies these impulses. iihb

In the theatre, above the screen m the orchestra pit, horns are in- stalled. The one above the screen is to project sounds that are supposed to come from the pictures. The two

All the same there are those of u! who would regret giving up the silent cinema. There is something peaceful and restful in lounging in a comfortable seat watching the scene develop before you. If you do not’ desire to see any particular pic- ture or scene all one has ‘.0 do is t0 close his eyes. But with the "Talk- ies" it is different. If the picture does not please there is no chance 'of rest by closing one: eyes for the "Talkies" bombard the ears.

FOOD AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

I have spoken before of the elderly gentleman. well past. his seventieth year, who was asked why he had lived to auch an age when his brothers had all died about the age of fifty from kidney ailments and high blood pres- sure.

His reply was "Well you see. always hada poor appetite."

And our research men now tell us

that a large percentage of-tha cases of high blood pressure are due to the fact that the cells of the body cannot. handle the amount of food that is eaten. In order that food be available it must be burned up completely. If it be not. burned up, leaving some of the food products only partly burned. then these cause trouble in the sys- tem.

Now there may be something wrong with the body itself, that is the in- testine doesrft absorb the food pro- perly, the large intestine retains waste poisonous products boo long. some infection from teeth, tonsils and so forth, or perhaps the kidneys do not get rid of poisons properly.

Any of the above mean that the blood is carrying about these poisons. the cells of the body rebel against such food, and the small blood vessels contract to prevent the inflow of this blood which the cell: are refusing to accept. This resistance results in high blood pressure. As Dr. E. C. Thrash puts it "the cell asks for food and ls handed a stone.”

Excessive food intake is probably the most general cause of this type of high blood pressure, because excess of food overtakes the digestive system from the intestine to the cell, and the food reaches the cell imperfectly pre- pared."

So new‘ that you know the cause of high blood pressure, that is due either to infection or to overeating, you can govern yourself accordingly.

First-let the family doctor over- haul you from head to foot. and your dentist X-ray your teeth. Any infec- tion should be removed. Don't be sat- isfied unless your doctor spends an hour on you, and make sure that an X-ray of teeth is made that will show up the roots properly.

Second, that. you cut down your food intake, unless you are working very hard physically}

race misunderstood. For although one was dressed in a Mother Hub- bard and forced to walk around London. and another made his first appearance as opener of a meeting, the automatic machine is really no more a substitute man than an auto- mobile ls a substitute horse. Mast of the modern Robots make no such effort at masquerade. \ Robots are not so new as many of us have been led to think. Three thousand years ago in Egypt. it ls said, priest; had secret devices to make loud bangs, to move the eyes of idols, or (o open the temple doors when someone lit the altar fire. A gentleman named Archytas is m~ puted to have made a flying wood- e_n pigeon 400 years before Christ. Albertus Magnus. whose scientific works still circulate in ten cent edi- tions as popular dream books, is said to have owned an iron butler who opened the door and welcomed guests.

-In the 13th ceniury various human figures were constructed which play- ed musical instruments, did sums in arithmetic, drew pictures, and wrote poetry. though how many of these Robots were merely men masquer- ading as their betters is not known. The most famous of them, Baron Kempelens‘ Hungarian chess player, traveled throughout Europe for years at the expense of kings and prelates. mystifying everyone. The automaton took on all comers and beat most of them‘. There was obviously no room inside the figure for a man. Many were the learned treatises on the supposed mysterious rays that oper- ated the contrivance. The secret, ul- timately discovered by accident, was that one of the Baron's helpers, whom everybody thought was nor- maL-had no legs. The two on which everybody saw him walking around wereartificial. Diminished by their removal, there was plenty of room for him inside the chess player.

But there is no deception about the Robots of our century. Eric. the one who opened the meeting works electrically. The Televox responds to sound waves. Still others are oper- ated by radio.

The torso of Mr. R. J. Wens1ey's Televox contains three tuned electric instruments, each pf which responds by resonance to its particular note

one to a high whistle, one to a tone about the middle register of a piano, and one to a deep bus buzz. The contrivance has been used practical- ly to report over a. telephone the depth of water in a reservoir. Sup- pose a. man makes a telephone‘ con- neciion with it, and then sends over the wire two peeps and three toots- lhe signal 23. The two peeps affect one switch, which sets ‘itself on its second point. The three touts affect a, second switch, moving it to its third point, and thus connecting it with the wafer gauge. Then (he buzz gives the "execution signal" and the man at the telephone hears a suc-

Perhaps the mmt interesting of the new Robots are those that work by radio. They have eyes to see radio wave; Just as the human eye sees} light waves. The most distinguished} o.‘ them, which bears out the state-j ment that the best Robots of the.’ present seldom try to look human- is a battle-ship: the Centurion, of the British Navy.

Each is connected with a‘ switch with numbered points on it,‘ like those .01 the Televox. Radio sig- als set (he, switches, precisely as those of the Televox are set by peeps andl toots. .

Several other countries possessl similar radio-controlled ships, em-f ployed chiefly for target practice,‘ since they can duplicate battle con- i dftions and still not risk the lives of a target's crew. ‘,
