A ND once it was not precisely my
IA privilege to attend stag en-
tertainment where forbidden films
were displayed. I did not immedi-
ately quit my seat and fling a ring
ing denunciation at the head Of the
diners. But about the middle Of
the first reel I grew extremely
drowsy and slept peacefully through
the greater part Of the pageant.
Anybody who had witnessed so
much as fifty feet, more or less, got
the idea and could anticipate pre-
cisely what was about to follow.
For years I have contended that
the devil and most Of his works are
held in too much esteem by the
righteous. He has been presented as
a romantic and, one might add, a
devilish sort of fellow.
In all truth, it is much more
likely that he, too, belongs among
the Rabbits. It is my distinct inn
preston that the chief sin Of satan

How much should a gold fish grow
in a year and what is its average life
span?
The rate of growth depends upon
the feeding and general care. The
average is about 2 inches the first
six months, and 8 to 4 inches during
the first year. The life span depends
also upon the care they receive,
ranging from months to or 10
years. Goldfish have been known to
live for 80 years.

Vacuum lube Grows

THE DooKleC peglns Win a de-
Il Scription of the various dis
coverieS which Westinghouse en-
gineers have made in the realm of
the vacuum tube. 1t will be recalled
that Westinghouse pioneered in
radio broadcasting with the opera
ton of radio station KDKA.
Nothing appeals more to the
imagination than the extraordinary
possibilities that have been found to
lie IN the vacuum, or low pressures,
inside little glass bulbs" the au-
thors write.
1.-TWO great industries, radio
broadcasting and the talkies, have
been produced thence within a few
years, electricity has been given
sight, hearing and a sense of
touch infinitely more sensitive than
mans. Our knowledge of tubes is
yet very young. OF what is still to
come we can be certain only of this
that it will be wonderful"
Among the vacuum tubes de-
scribed in the booklet is the 200
klloWatt tube, the most powerful
radio tube ever developed.
"The first big broadcasting sta
ton had eight little 1O-kilowatt
tubes" the authors write. Diff
Guilty of working so many units
harmoniously together led to larger
ones.
This development (the, 200-kilo-
watt tube) opens the way to tubes
many times as large, should they be
needed. Heartbreaking difficulties
were overcome by the designer,
Mouronntsef, especially in a suitable
seal between copper and glass in
such large masses. Very impor-
tant is the grid which he devised,
a series of molybdenum discs which
are water cooled; and form of
fllament which will not buckle"

Association ana OF dySelds the
Health Magazine.
1T was found in Scotland, as has
4 been found also in this country,
that about 70 per cent of all of
those who were overweight had
mothers or fathers who were also
overweight.
1t is believed that this is a part
of the desire of those who are over
weight to attribute their condition
to circumstances over which they
have no control, rather than to their
own mode of life. Thus the patients
themselves tend to magnify the
heredity side of their weaknesses.
American physicians have felt
that the tendency of the children of
fat people to be fat is not some
thing Unborn, but most likely is due
to the fact that the children live
under the same conditions as do
their parents, and that the children

Questions and
Answers
Does light occupy space?

Science has additionally accepted
space, time, force, matter, light, etc.,
as independent entities that build
up the universe. There exists no
co-ordinating definition of these en-
titles and for that reason light may
or may not be said to occupy space
according to the point Of view as
to what these terms mean in rela-
ton to each other. Science does
not agree as to which viewpoint is
scientific; hence, the paradoxes of
science continue to exist.

Russia?

What is the first historic refer
ence to the use of petroleum?
One of the earliest records shows
that it was used on the walls of
Babylon and Ninevah about 1000
B. G. It is also recorded that for
ages seepages of crude oil have been
used by the peoples of Egypt, Meso-
potamia, India and China.
