& "wave or "Death Ray" Millions 'of Insects Die of High-Fever in Experiments of U.S, Entomologist. New York.--Thomas J. Ph, D., a stout, pipe-smoking Individual, sat himself down comfortably in a hotel room recently and toll in some detail of experiments he has been carrying on Headlee, . since 1928 with a death ray. Professor Headlee prefers to call his ray a radio wave, an electric y "the electrostatic field of energy," _ Using an apparatus very much like 4 miniature broadcasting station, he has sent out rays or waves which have ki'led millions of insects of all sorts. With a bigger machine he is quite sure he could kill mil- lions of men> but right now he is not interested in that angle, Any- way, he holds, the principle of 'the electrostatic field of energy" is al. ways the same, regardless of ,who's on the receiving end of the deadly energy. i 3 Insects' Bitter Foe. Dr. Headlea is professor of entom- ology at Rutgers University. and has been for twentytwo .years, and is entomologist cf the New Jersey Agri. cultural Experiment Station at New Brunswick, which explains' hig pre. occupation with insects, He .is a tireless foe of Jersey mosquitoes, Japanese beetles ° moths, crickets, cockroaches and all other such nui. sances to town and country. "I'm able to anock off insects in thirty seconds," he says quietly, without any trace of boasting, "I can repeat that any time and place. I've done it so often." "It is essentially a radio broad- casting apparatus that I use in my experiments," said Prof. Headlee, "It operates on a fraguency of 1,500,000 cycles, or jump, per second, and I can step this up to 24,000,000 or 60,- 000,200. if IT want to. At 3,000,000 the energy will kill insects on a plant without hurting the plant At 12. 000,000 to 15,000.000 the plant is. in- sured. } "In my little machine, 1 have two aluminum plates which have elect- rodes. The plates are eighteen inches apart, The insects used in the experi. ments are usua'ly placed in glass tubes and set between the plates where the energy will strike them. Energy Causes Fatal Fever. "The radio apparatus throws: out energy which kills the insects, The insects are found to be hot when dead, although 'he glass containers and the plates are cool. "It's the internal heat from the en- ergy that kills che insects, Insects begin to die at 110 degrees Fahren- heit and at 140 degrees they are through, The energy penetrates the glass tubes and cooks their proteins." Prof. Headlee was content to let it go at that, but his interviewer wag eager to know about the possibil- ities of slaying a neighbor with his own radio set, ' : - "Well, man fevers about the same as insects," said the professor. "If he has a fever 'hat reaches 106, he won't last long, A little more, and _ he'll be gone absolutely." Simplest Coiffures Most Flattering The simplest coiffures flattering to blondeg and the girl who comes under this heading should realize it and plan her hair style ac- cordingly. Why bother with trying to keep too many waves in place when you look prettier without them? As a matter of fact, there is a de- finite trend toward simple hair fash-| ions for all of us this summer. Im- portant coiffure experts are sponsor- ing neat buns on the neck or rows and rows of little curls across the back with the hair on the top of the head left unwaved and brushed straight back, And a good thing it is, since summer vacations are so close at hand and no one likes to go to a Jot of fuss and bother during the hot months. Remember though, that whether you're blonde, medium or. dark, healthy, shiny locks are absolutely necessary to one of the new simple coiffures, You'll need to shampoo a little oftener during the summer when the air is filled with dust and you'll have to keep on with the daily brushing between shampoos, If you wash your own hair, bo sure to rinse carefully, getting out every trace of .soap. Then devise some method of keeping your coiffuré neat, whether you're in town or country. One good idea is to go to a hairdresser and have him show you how the first time. After that, you'll be able to do it yourself, 2 BUSINESS PICKS UP Just the other day, in conversation with a prominent Stirling merchant, we were advised that the cash busi- ness done by his firm on that par- ticular day had been better than on any other day for some years, Just another sign that times are gradually growing better, -- Stirling News- Argus, (4 There are few Ueteets in our na- ture so glaring #8 not to be veiled from observation by politenes and good breeding.--Stanislaus, 'bald, middle.aged, | THE BRITISH ARE I are most| theatres have continued to increase. TO THE E COMING FORE IN STYLE London Designers Combine Comfort With Chic in New Fashions for English Women Today Engl'shwomeén are better dressed than at any time in living memory, writes a Frenchwoman vis- iting London, The improvement in the last fifteen years is almost in- credible, Those with money and those without have achieved minor miracles, At the end of the war a great dis. covery was suddenly madé by large numbers of women on this island. They heard of a town called Paris, and began to go there to buy things. They came home and gave their ve- lour hats--Dbest Manchester make -- away ahd stéppéd 'out fn creations, It became a habit, - "Movie Influence. y At about the same time hundred of new motion picture houses began to appear throughout the land, These GIFIS began to notice what their favorite screen stars wore.

Thaey have always looked well in the uniform of the hunting field, and the shooting tweeds woven in Scotland and the islands of the north always had an air of be- ing the real thing, which they were, Rk Gift to Fashion World. And then a certain Lady Duff Gor- don began to do things whh pink and blue fabrics-in the London house operated under the trade name of Lucile. Lucile became a name to stir the feminine heart in many countries, The Lucile touch was world famous, The Lucile mannequins were farm- ed out to Ziegfeld and married prin- ces and millionaires, and for a time Lucile, in the person of Lady Duff Gordon, rode the crest of the wave, There was aleo in the house of Lu- cile a young fellow who had -more than a knack witn a pair of shears and a mouthful of pins. He could drape a piece of goods on a slim fig- ure in a way that made Parls begin to look slightly envious. His name was Edward Molyneux, a French name, but he is English. He came out of the war a captain in the Brit- ish army and staked every penny he could lay his hnnds to on a dress- making establishment in Paris, Park Avenue and Mayfair know the rest of that story. Molyneux is a great name today in the story of haute couture. His line {8 famous wheraver clothes of dis- tinction até worn. He showed Parls gomething. For a time English wo- men of fashion who wanted Molyneux clothes were obliged to go to Paris for them.

Sports Clothes. Of course sports clothes have al- ways heen a feature with Britich designers. Tweeds, tartans and knitted things are particulerly good in the little, tight little isle and such things as raincoats, rainbroof ulsters for stormy weather and soft felt sports hats need only he labelled "British" to meet a ready sale, Bo enviable a reputation have they sus- tained for style, comfort and dura. bility. : It is interesting to see the rapld advance of British designers in the face of world competition, Streets of To-morrow Featured at C.

Walking down the "streets of to- morrow" will become an actuality for visitors to the Canadian National Ex- hibition this year, following the first installation in Canada of high inten. sity mercury vapor lamps which will provide a degree of lighting brighter than that of any street on the contin- ent, 3 Transforming the "Grent White Way" into the "Great Blue Way," the lamps will be Installed in the street. lighting standards along the Prince's Boulevard.

"But," he added, "as in a minature, the detail is so exquisite, the moullding so delicate, that the whole attraction is lost if the frame is too ornamental." His remarks are very true. In her efforts to avoid looking insig- nifiant the little woman often makes the mistake of over-dressing, and too many frills and furbelows at once give a "little-girl-dressed-up" appear- an¢e, which is neither attractive nor smart. Small women should always choose a frock which has a high waistline rather than a low one, as this in- creases the apparent length of leg, and gives the impression of greater height, Then again, every horizontal line seems to reduce the height by an inch or two; therefore horizontal stripes are definitely barred, and wide belts in strong contrasting colors, too, as they are inclined tw cut a short figure in half. Too much shoulder elaboration. should also be avoided, though the, high neckline of the moment is ex- c€llent because the greater the length from neck to hem the better, Bear Runs Off With Bicycle Ernest Wright of Kingston, whose. pursuit in his studies in entomology, led him into the wilds near Arden recently, saw a bear. The bear saw him, and in the general mix-up that followed the bear ran away with the bike. But one paw had become firmly fixed in the spokes of the wheel and the machine which departed with him in considerable haste could not be re- moved. : The student who had ridden the distance on his bicycle on which were firmly strapped his outfit and bed- ding, left his possessions leaning against a tree near Bald Mountain, and decided to fich a stream. At dusk he returned, observed that a large black bear 'had scized the bike, and had torn all his foodstuffs from it and was busily engaged in eating. Seizing a club, Wright crept up and gave the bear a smart crack on the back. Surprised, the bear some. now in his haste managed to trap his paw in the spokes of the wheel, but started down the path neverthe- less, with the wheel bumping after him at every step. Wright later found the bike half a mile down the trail, but it was brok- en beyond repair. He was far from home without bedding or even a coat. Only a little foodstuff was left. Stili carrying the wheel he reached a main travelled road next afternoon where he received a passing ride to Tam- worth and finally to his home near Kingston. y .

PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND 1 Blind Australian Runs Small F arm Sydney, N.3.--Mr. Jack McDonald, of Coolamon, who lost his sight some years ago, now runs a small mixed farm.
