BACK TO
CIVILIZATION
AFTER 10 YEARS

The manager of the Hudson Bay
Company's farthest north trading
post is Captain George G. Cleve-
land. He's back to civilization for
the first time in 10 years.
Cap says he's going to return to
the country of eternal ice as fast
as he can, now that he's locked us
over. He'll have to wait until next
spring, for the Arctic already is
frozen solid.
Its all right to come back to
civilization for a while" Cap adj
mits But after you've seen all
the sights, you soon get tired Of it..
A chronic city dweller probably
would say the same about the Far
North, after visiting it.
The aiplane interests Captain
Cleveland more than any Of the
other things developed since he
visited civilization in 1913. He saw
a couple of the crude original
planes years ago, but his first
glimpse of modern flying craft
was when two big planes, bound for
the Mackenzie River old fields were
fored to land.
Il knew what they were, from
having seen pictures of them," he
SAID. But the Eskimos thought
they were big birds and were terri
bly, frightened when the planes APP
preached. They hid under their
blankets" *F
Another change noticed by Cap
tain Cleveland is the enormous in
crease in the number Of autos in
use. When he went north 1913,
he recalls, there were only few
buzz-wagons around, but now the
streets are full of them"
He missed the war period. Would
you like to trade places with him
and live close to the Northern
Lights

THE QUILL PEN:
THE FOUNTAIN PEN;
WHAT NEXT?

The quill pen has fought it's last
BATTLE against the steel and foun-
tain pen-rand lost. Philip Cooper
of London, whose company used to
ship as many as three million quill
pens at a time to the Indian gov
eminent, announces that they've
quit making quilts.
The Southwark County Court ir
England has been the last strong
hold Of quill pens. The court chung
to them as a matter of sentiment,
q link with the olden days. But
even this court recently discontin-
ued quilts and adopted fountain
pens.
So dies a quaint and accent in
dustry, mighty in its day.
Such quill pens as will be made
in the future will be the decora-
tive kind that are parked in a jar
Of birdshot on milady's writing
desk.
Philip Cooper gives mo market"
as the chief reason for going out
of business Another reason is
that he no longer can find a work
man who knows art of making
them.
The craftsman involvd in MAX
ing quilts was intricate and re-
CURED skill found in few trades.
The art Gas HANDED down from
father to ION. As with beating olt
gold leaf. it was said that a quill
pen maker was born, not made.
The Quill pen served many gen.
erations to whom it was the lead
ing instrument of making records
and writing letters. Its passing is
symbolic of the fate of all man
made devices. The new and i'm
proved inevitably becomes the an
tiquated mad obsolete.

WHERE WILL THE
SCIENTIFIC MOVIE
LEAD TO {?

A movie, showing how chicken
comes to life and develops in the
egg, is thrown en- a screen by DR..
Charles F. herm. 1t reveals the
changes that take place from the
beginning of incubation until the
chickens heart starts beating.
This supper-scientific movie was
made by carefully removing small
piece of the eggshell and covering
the opening with glass window.
Then a movie camera, operated by
a time clock, every 10 minus flash
ed light through the window and
snapped a picture.
After SO hours, the chicks heart
was beating-and the camera had
taken about 200 seperate pictures,
10 minutes apart.
Then the slowly taken film is
flashed on the screen and shows
the whole process in a matter Of
seconds. It's 2 reverse of the ultra
raptd-cGmera movie you've seen,
showing a showdown of a golf
stroke or a pole vaulter in action,
The egg movie is in a class with SIN
liar films of bud turning into a
flower.
DR.. Herm also EXHIBITS movies of
oysters developing from the life
cell, and so on. Changes that cam
not be observed by the human eye
even with a microscope, due to the
element of time, are in this way
presented so they can be studied
by scientists.
The ultra-rapid and ultra-slow
movie cameras eliminate the ele-
ment eff time. They apparently
bring man considerably near an un
derstanding of the twin mysteries
life and death.
Such ultimately may be the great
est function of the movie.
No telling what the scientific
movie will lead to. DR.. Herm vii!
make movies showing cancer cells
attacking and destroying healthy
cells. When doctors understand
how thse cells works, they'll he
re;rer a cure. SO, too, with disease
germs.

When we were kids of ten;
Two birdlings of a feather,

Long since we've changed and shifted
Around about the chart,
And slowly we have drifted
And wandered far apart.
We differ in opinions,
Our work is not the same,
In various dominions
We've played different game;

His thoughts are strange to me,

He sails another sea.

In spite of years gone by,
