HighIy Sensitive

NTOW comes the announcement
~ from the G. E. laboratories of
the. invention of new type Of vac
uum tube so sensitive that it will
measure a hundredth of a mil
lionth of an ampere.
The amount of current which
flows through this new tube bears
the same ratio to the amount of
current flowing through an ordinary
fifty-watt incandescent light, as two
drops of water would to the enor-
nous quantity of water which flows
over Niagara Falls in a years time
An electric current, as modern re-
searches have shown, consists of a
stream of the extremely small par
ticles known as electrons. ElectronS
are the fundamental units of cleo
tricity.
It's estimated that about three
quintillion electrons flow through
the ordinary fifty-watt incandescent
light every second.
The new vacuum tube, according
to Ellis L. Manning Of the C. E..
laboratory, is capable of measuring
accurately a flow of about sixty
three electronS a second.
The new tube is so sensitive to
inflnitesimal flows of current that
astronomers can use it with photo
electric tubes in determining the
amount of heat radiated by stars
countless miles away-bodieS so far
away in space that, in spite of their
enormous size, they remain simply
as points of light, however powerful
the telescope through which they
are viewed.
The current is measured in frac-
tons of quadrillionthS of an am
pere-the stellar distances in multi
pies OF quadrillionS of miles.

L n sary to emphasize the fact that
high blood pressure is not in itself
a disease, but the representation of
physical conditions in the body
which may be the result of disease.
Most authorities are convinced
that it is quite possible to control
high blood pressure, if the patient
is seen early, by the simple regula-
ton of diet and exercise.
One authority asserts that the
treatment Of the condition can not
be carried out successfully i'll the
home, because the patients mode of
life and his mental attitude to-
ward his surroundings must be made
over.
+ He, therefore, recommends either
a sanatorium conducted along the
lines of a summer camp, or perhaps
a hospital.
The sports atmosphere associated
with summer camp and exercise can
be Of help both physically and men
tally, and also correct the PERSONS

Hoover on Homes

Credit Herbert Hoover with words of wisdom on
home building. He says addressing Washington
conference on the subject:
THE financing of home building, especially for
second mortgages, is the backward segment of our
whole credit system.
1T is easier to borrow IS per cent on an auto
mobile and repay it the installment plan than to
build home that basis-and generally the house
requires a higher interest rate
The whole process of purchase and finance in
wolves a ceremony like a treaty between govern
ments, and yet the home certainly is as good col
lateral automobile. 1t deprecates more slowly,
if at all, and its owner will make harder fight to
keep it,"
You never will appreciate the full extent of the
ceremony referred to by the President until you
start negotiating for loan.

CALIFORNIA DIE IT

1t took California hospitality and California climate
to make The most retcen in public life loosen up
and ask that ne be allowed to make speech.
When Mr.. Coolidge accepted the invitation of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce to attend its banquet
he did SO with the explicit understanding that he would
not be'called upon to make speech.
Nevertheless, when he attended after several days
in California during which hospitality had been lavish
ed upen him. yet always considering first the wishes of
himself and Mrs Coolidge for informality he not only
made speech but asked that he be allowed to do So in
order that he might express something Of gratitude
felt by him and his wife.
The former Presidents action was complete sur
prise to all who know him, but it was most gracious
act and IN keeping with the character of the man.
Your New Eng!ander is an odd sort. He often pre-
sents to the world cod austere appearance that can
only be described relic from the Puritan days He
doesn't know himself Why he does it. for he is Just as
hkeablc person will find in any part of the
country he strict code OF the old New Englanders is
handed do from generation to generation, though it
IS much more tolerant than il was couple of de-
cades ago
Mr.. Coolidge Yas raised in an atmosphere that
1ToWned upon the light and frivolous things of life
his people from the earlies times have had constant
struggle 10 make success OF their farming business
and as he himself has said recent writings there was
always plenty Of work to be done Their diversions
were few and far between.
In spite OF the heights to which has rsen he never
learned to lose the seriousness with which he wonld
tackle anything, even vacation.
All CallfoTnians not light hearted and CAV but
generally speaking, the people Of this state have
learned TO NIX good deal Of pleasure in their daily
eS belnG dropped into such atmosphere it is not
odd that r Coolidge thawed out He will have no re-
gre!s tnat he did not learn sooner and if asked would
PROBABLY say he would be content to live his life over
again JaSt as he mas done Perhaps he has enjoyed his
experience out here even more than those who have
made it such pleasant affair.
And then who would not be transformed by the sud-
Den transition from the cold snow covered streets of
northampton, TO the palm bedecked and flower lad
ened streets OF California; One has to know the rigor
OF many Ne" England winters to be able to appreciate
such change.
Mr.. Coolidge will not stay in California He is too
much New Englander to forsake the land of his
fathers. Bat it would be safe bet that he will visit
California again, having once tasted its delights and
Il viii not be strange if his visits are frequent The
California germ is powerful one.
