DO YOU KNOW THAT

The new Canadian Pacific
liner, Empress of Japan, de-
pends largely on electricity for
its operation. The vessel has
wireless telegraphy, wireless di-
rection finder, electric appa-
ratus for submarine signaling,
and a gyroscopic compass, an
electric phonograph repeater
and an electric movie. All the
food is cooked on electric stoves.
Giants are said to be simply
victims of a disease of a GER

COmplexity of Science
By Archibald Henderson, Ph.D., Del, LID,
Famous Scientific Authority

A familiar quotation, with
countless applicati tions, is:
Fools rush. in where angels
fear to tread" We may, for
the purposes of argument and
comparison, rephrase this say
ing as follows: t"UnScientific
people proceed rashly on their
way, while scientists tread
softly for fear of disastrous
consequences"
The more you know, the
more dangerous everything ap-
pears to be. A little piece Of
radium will burn away the It's
sues of the human body, and
quickly destroy life.
A small stick of dynamite
will blow up a house.
A small mass of INT will
wreck a huge battleShip.
Consider a simple problem,
such as that of examining the
structure of the top of the ta-
BILE on which / am writing. To
the average person, the table
top is solid, substantial. 1t is
not transparent; you cannot
see through it or poke things
through it, because it appears
to be of hard and uniform con-
Stituency.
The scientist regards it in
quite a different manner. He
knows that the table top, in
stead of being solid, is actually
for the most part empty. Dart
ing about within the table top
are countless electric charges;
and they are moving almost
unimpeded at enormously high
speeds. But their bulk is al.
most unbelievably slight. In
deed, 1t is estimated that their

 Manufacturers and jobbers of mons clothing report a slight in crease in business. Suit and cloak manufacturers and jobbers report usual seasonal quietness. Depart ment sales are fair, but are main tained only by frequent sales. Spec ialty shop sales are small. The wool market has had a fair volume of business with prices holding fairly steady. Fine wools and the top mar liet were the most active. Regard less of tendency of foreign markets to establish ttrmer prices, mills are confining their buying to immediate req 'irements because of the uncer- tainty of the trades of wool they will need.
