WE WILL SOON SEE BY RADIO
Mr. J. L. Baird, noted London scientist, who claims to have invented
a machine for transmitting pictures of moving objects by radio, is here
shown at his machine. In his invention, light from every part of the
object is in succession projected onto a collodial (fluid) light sensitive
cell by means of shutter lenses. The fluid cell changes its resistance ac
cording to the light falling on it. The varying current from this cell con
trols a beam of light which traverses a screen in unison to the passage of
the image over the fluid cell. At a dark portion of the picture, the light
is dim, etc. So rapidly does it traverse the screen that the object appears
instantaneously to the eye.
TRIBUTE TO FAITHFUL DOG
CARRIES MESSAGE OF LOVE!
DARIEN, Wis., Feb. 2—A bronze
reproduction of a pet Seotclr collie
dog, Lassie, tops the monument plac
ed by Charles H. Langs at the grave
of his wife, Mrs. Jennie H. Langs, in
the little country cemetery here. Be
neath the recumbent figure of the
dog is this inscription: “Be kind to
animals.”
Lassie, a blooded collie, died sever
al years before Mrs. Langs.
The Langs devoted much of their
time and part of their income to the
care ot' animals and humane work.
Mr. Langs explained that in placing
the reproduction of Lassie at Mrs.
Langs’ grave he not only regarded it
as a tribute to his wife’s memory,
but believed it would be a lesson in
the general subject of kindness to
animals.

Kitchen Should Be
Bright Spot in Home
By DOLLY DABB
Nowadays
when help Is
hard to get. or
ia unsatisfactory
when it is se
cured, many house
wives do most of
their own work
Consequently a
very large percent
age of their time is
spent in the kitcb
en. Usually when
hubby goes off to
his office, wifey re
turns to her kitch
en, to clean up the
breakfast dishes or
to prepare further
breakfasts for the
children She is busy there off and
on until evening, and is lucky if
she can leave the kitchen then
A Woman’s Office
A kitchen is really a woman’s
office. Therefore It is sensible and
commendable if as much or more
thought is put upon the design and
furnishing of that room than upon
any other in the house. Results
will show in the health and spirits
of the chief user of the kitchen,
and they will be enjoyed by her
husband and children as well. The
food will be better. Moods will be
brighter. Fatigue and discourage
ment will have as little chance as
indigestion to take up their resi
dence there.
A Few Pointers
I will try to give a few pointers
that you may not have thought of
for insuring that your kitchen, be
cause of the above facts, will be as
satisfactory as it can be made
Many writers and household econ
omists have given the reasons why
it is best to have sinks and tables
high enough so that women Deed
not lean over them constantly and
so tire their backs. The placing of
lights, so that the stove, sink,
and work-table shall have enough
illumination has also been brought
to the attention of the lighting con
tractors. Floor coverings that are
easy to clean and comfortabie to
the feet have had their share of
emphasis. These are all obvious
details to which a woman will give
first attention.
There are. besides, several de
tails that are being given an in
creasing amount of attention.
Among them are the windows,
shelves, table tops and walls of the
kitchen. All these can be tre.'^d
in a way to produce a maximui
cneerrumess ana comiort. ana me
greatest degree of sanitation and
health.
Windows Important
Sunlight has been discovered to
be one of the best medicines there
is. It kills germs and affects the
body beneficially. it gives the
clearest and most diffused light and
therefore is easiest on the eyes.
As a result of these and other ef
fects it brightens one’s moods and
increases one’s energies. In places
where the maximum amount of
sunlight is desired there should be
plenty of plate-glass windows. This
sort of window is easiest to see
through, H3 well as truest and
densest so that light comes through
directly and not distorted, and so
that noise or heat is less easilj
transmitted. There is no place
where more reasons can be found
for using plate-glass windows than
in the kitchen.
Plate-Glass Shelves
Plate-glass adds to the kitchea
not only in the windows, but on
the tables and in the shelves. It is
a bright, polished substance that is
impervious to liquids and can be
cleaned with a few motions of a
damp cloth. Housewives who want
their kitchens as clean and as easy
to keep clean as possible are hav*
ing shelves made of it, and are
having their kitchen tables covered
with it.
And a Mirror!
Finally, since it is women who
inhabit kitchens, and one of wo
man’s chiefest duties is to be
charming, there should be a taste
fully placed plate-glass mirror, so
that it Is possible to see always
whether, when there Is someone at
the door, one looks one's best be
'or< answering the ring!
