"YOu will know a tree by It's fruM,
says DR.. r. s. Stephens, optometrist
and the people that eat the fruit
ought to be the judge of the tree.
The apple known as the eye, is a
very delicate organ. He has fitted
forty-two thousands pairs of glasses
and he has had much experience
along this line of work.
You ask the people who wear his
glasses about the fruit of his labor
and you will see him when you need
anything in his line. He can grind
any lense you may need and has q
new line of frames CT all styles.
You will find him at 2l9 South

HE sun, WorShiped as goo Dy saw
ages is we'll on the way to becoming
the hidden servant Of civilized man.
Thanks to the efforts Of several
American and German inventors,
the most successful of whom Is Dr
Bruno LANCE of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute
of Berlin, mankind may De aDIe 70 aciiieue
the aee-old dream of Harvesting sunpoWer d.
rectly and making IL turn the wheels OF hous-
try even before the arrival OF that great ana
final power famine, which economic prophets
predict will follow the exhaustion OF the worios
coal mines about 1000 years hence.
DR. Ianges invention is still In It's INFANCY,
hut it is a healthy and promising infant just
the same. For tiny sun-catcher whlch ne
made with a surface only ABOUT tnree lncneS
square, has for several months now been Keep
ing a small motor turning round ana ROUND.
and at that it has had no better juice 10 1eeo
on than Berlin's somewhat thin and watery
sunshine
What bigger apparatus could do in the
full-bodied light of the Mohave Desert OF Call
fornia must for the present be lett 10 specu-
lation But, at least, DR.. Lange has alreaoy
brought the infant measurably toward ma
turity. ...
Talking pictures, television and automatic
control devices for machinery will certainly use
the new lght-sensitive cell even before IL eau
he adapted to large-scale power production.
The light-sensitive vacuum tubes containing
potassium or caesium, which have played sucn
a fundamental part in recent engineering oe-
velopments, will probably be replaced IN most
of their uses by the cheaper and simpler LANCE
device.
Here are some of the other uses on which
EXPERIMENTATION is being carried on: Control
of steel rolling mills, transmission OF phono-
graph records, fire prevention on ocean-gong
Steamships. telephone fog-sgnalling and as
a direction finder for aircraft. In scientific
work it will find application in lght-measuring
Instruments for instance in the determination
of Photographic exposures.
DY a curious bit of poetic appropriateness, the
. key stuff in DR.. Lange's sun-catching
device is a chemical element dedicated to
the moon, that classic, age-old mirror OF the
SUM- It is the somewhat uncommon element
seleniun which got its name from the Greek
goddess Selene. rsA''.-
Selenide of silver now best holds the secret
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-07-12

of catching the suns light and turning It into
electric power BY another coincidence, silver
Is also connected With the moon. The al
chemists talked of silver as the moon element;
lunar caustic" Is another name for nitrate
of silver.
The seenide Of silver is spread on sheet
of metal in a very thin layer and then
second layer of metal only few atoms thick,
is spread on this. Light falling on this
device from above sets up an electric current
between the two layers o, the metallic
sandwich"
It is not much of a current-less than what
would be needed to light fashlght bulb
vet this is the most promising way now known
for getting electric current directly from sun
light Actually the selenide cell Is about
hundred times better than the cell that I'M
mediately preceded it. This predecessor cell
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-07-12

consisted of plate of copper on which ale
n,aced successfully a layer of cuprous oxide
and a thin layer Of copper.
The copper oxide sandwich was first In
vented in this country by DR.. L. Q. Grondaal
and Paul H. Geiger and patented by the
Westinghouse company. Langes invention Is
natented in the name of the Siemens Halske
CO. of Berlin. The Grondahl cell is much
less efficient than the LANCE cell, chiefly be-
cause of the way In which the upper electrode
is attached
Ten to 20 square yards Of the copper oxide
sandwich produce so watts of electricity in
full sunlight, and thus could run an ordinary
electric lamp.
What prospect is there of such a device
being cheap enough and practicable enough TO
be used on a large scale as a source Of power2

SURFACE ROT or SWEET POTA.
TOES CAUSED BY LATE DIGGING

Three years of records by DR.. T.
F. Manns, Plant Pathologist, of the
University, show that late digging of
sweet potatoes is responsible for
such heavy storage losses from sur
face rot, states County Agent c. r..
Snyder. The fungus which causes
surface rot, enters the potato only
under very low temperatures. Pota-
toes dug before the sixth of October
went through storage with little or
no surface rot; potatoes harvested
after the tenth of October showed
losses of Is to so per cent from
surface rot. Dr. Manns in 1928 iso-
lated the fungus and eXperimcntally
showed that unless the temperature
was below so degrees Fahrenheit,
the disease caused little or no dam
age to the sweet potato. In the late
fall when the nights become cold
and the soil temperature gets as low
as 35 to As degrees, then the disease
becomes very active and penetrates
through the small rOOtlets, causing
infection at many points. After such
infected potatoes have been in stOr-
age several months, the disease be-
comes so active as to greatly lessen
the market value of the potato.
Growers must harvest their sweet
potatoes before cold nights set in if
they would overcome these heavy
storage losses.
This disease not only causes great
losses in storage. but seed that is
infected, gives a very poor stand of
plants in the seed bed. It is one of
the great factors in surface rotting
in poorly heated seed beds.

his collar except coTnmeal mush, who THINKS
that he is q comic. He is to an unprotected
public what the boll-weevn is to cotton and
the graSshoppers are to Kansas. You VIII re-
member him as an anthropoid who told the
story about Pat and Mike with Czecho-
slovakian dialect. Born to be coffin trim
mer but believing he is Eddy Cantor.
Good short speeches are as infrequent as
genuine old fashioned strawberry short-cake.
AN who cannot speak do so. Also, the more
involved and dreary and wftlesS the speech,
the longer it has to be.
Let us take q typical case because 1t Illus
trates what happens time and time again.
An important dinner Is arranged ana Is
planned to have q few short speeches by dis
tinguished guests. One of these celebrities Is
notified that a few remarks will be expected
from him and that he VIII be allowed grand
total Of twenty minutes and, nasmuch as
there are five speakers on the program. It Is
suggested that he keep his contribution within
a time limit Of twenty minutes he writes
back in jocular mood and says: I snau De
rlad to make q few observations but I Will
not require twenty minutes. VIII talk about
i've minutes"
Then the diplomatic chairman OF the pro-
gram committee advises him that II he pre-
pares his address In advance, It would De well
within the twenty-minute limit. He writes
back again that his intention is to make
very short speech and probably the thing VIII
not be over fifteen minutes long.
Then we come to the night of the big doings
and that same 5-minlIte lad arises in his place
and raribles and gibbers and backs up and
tletours for Is minutes. It happens every time
an important organization pulls an eating party
at which speaking is permitted. Always one
of the so-called entertainers goes plumb crazy
and remains on his feet until the whole party
is a dismal wash-out While we are passing

have been delivered at so-called "banquets,"
and out Of this grand total only eight were
any good and all of these happened before
prohibition went into effect.
The practice Of speech making at any kind
of dinner seems TO have originated in England
but It came into full bloom here in the United
States where there are more joiners and
SYMBOLIC badges and unpaid dues to the
square inch than anywhere else In the world.
The boosting clubs, the annual conventions OF
fraternal orders and trade organizations and
stereotyped reunions Of colegians and ex-
soldiers and former members OF Nonparcn
Bowling Society have helped to harden per-
nicious custom into q deadly habit.
The British after dinner speech Is probably
the dullest and most soggy OF any ever in
Aicted, but the victims have one advantage.
They begin the dinner with turtle soup and
probably the main item Is saddle Of mutton.
They top on with port wine and Stilton
cheese consequently they are cosnatose before
the talking begins. They can enjoy q gentle
browse while some one With an escutcheon

and he is gfven to long pauses and repetiticns
and 1notheaten platttudes. He has forgotten
everything he ever knew. He has even for

patriotic and sentimental and nerve-racking.
