The lenses were designed to prevent cataracts, a frequent cause of blind- ness. . They performed their cooling func- tion in the same géneral way as a refrigerating unit by absorbing heat which passed through them. The invention was based on the theory that invisible infra-red light rays are so hot they cook the albu- min of the eyeball into thick opacity like a gas flame cooks the white of an egg. The development was announced by Dr. E. Leroy Ryer and Dr. Elmer E. Hotaling of New York, who had been experimenting for ten years with dif- ferent types of lenses which would absorb the .infra-red light and pre- vent the formation of cataracts. Television Coming London Times. An interesting announcement was made by Sir Stephen Tallents, the ag of public relations to the ritish Broadcasting Corporation in an address at the Empire Society's ummer school at Bristol; notes the ondon Times, roe ue While the difficulties of television have not all been solved, he said, it is hoped to give the public the first sight of television programs this autumn, Sir Stephen urged the im- portance of improving empire pro- rams and empire transmitting fa- ilities, and said that there is much to be done by the colonial office and ¢olonial governments in improving émpire broadcasting. . According to Dr. Cody, the presi- dent of the University of Toronto, fothing in recent years has done more to bind together the far portions of the empire than to hear the sym- pathetic and loving voice of King eorge. The empire 'may perhaps look forward to seeing the present King, as well as hearing him, before very long. , a Estimate Six Million Prepare for War Paris. -- French statisticians esti- | mate 6,000,000 men, a third of them Germans, will be "ready for war" whén eGrmany's new two-year term of military service becomes effective.

The stands were beginning to fill up and it looked like a record- breaking crowd for the opening game. Each time a subway train rolled into the station across the field, hundreds hurried toward the gates. Men and boys were assembled in groups on the bluffs, and the surrounding house- tops were already' black with people who couldn't or wouldn't pay the price of admission, but still wanted to see the game. In the: clubhouse Pop Clark was talking to his men. "There's a great crowd out there, boys, and it's up to us to come through for them and for ourselves. We've worked hard and I know we have a good team and I'm sure we will come through this year if not at the top, at least so close to it that we will pull good gates, make a lot of money and be all set for the pennant next year. Of course," there was a twinkle in his eye as he said it, "I won't be too sore at you if we should hit the pennant this year. You never know what will happen in- baseball. I have confidence in every one of you and I want you to work together. If there are any personal quarrels I want you to forget them while you. are out there. You are playing ball member there are thousands of loyal fans waiting to see us climb up the ladder to the place the Blues deserve in the league. Give them their money's worth." . Pop knew what the loyalty of the fans meant. He was one of the last of the old-timers who knew baseball and baseball audiences. He-was a canny manager and a keen judge of human nature. Ten years-before, hig Fire-caters were the talk of the na- tion and were winningZeverything in sight. Pop realized that the fans were growing a little tired of the invincible team which wore his colors. It was at that time that he made his greatest mistake in all his years of baseball management. He disbanded the fam- ous Blue, Fire-eaters, scattered them to the wind and the greed of other managers.. Pop thought he could build up another team just as good if not better than the Fire-Eaters. He tried, tried hard, but he had lost his magic touch and miracle refused to happen. /He bought and traded good men, gave them all he had; but each year, after they finally sank into the cellar and stayed there. - The fans were loyal and came back year after year at the beginning of the season expecting Pop to produce a winning team or at least a team excitement they expected. Sports writers suggested that there was a jinx on Pop and the fans believed it. Pop knew all the tricks of the game, and invented some new ones, but he had not been able to crash through. Pop had never been kknown to say "enough" and even when he was lick- ed he didn't know it, This opening was a gala day, for Pop and the Blues. He really be- lieved that at last he had assembled a good team, but the sports writers were not inclined to believe in him or the team. The general 'opinion was that Pop had a better team than usual but that it would be nothing more than a flash in the pah--a few games won and then another dismal failure. The fans were willing to be shown, but the odds were 200 to 1 against the Blues and there was no fan money being bet on them before the opening game. Frances Clark, Pop's daughter, was sitting in -the box waiting anxiously for the team to come out on the field. Frances was young and extraordin- arily pretty. Pop called her his one indiscretion after forty and he said it with a warm light in his eyes. Pop had married at thirty-eight and for a- few short years had been happy with his wife. Then Frances came, after four years, and his wife died. Pop never married again, because his only interests were the team and the baby girl. She had been travelling with him since she finished college and he found her a keen judge of men and an excellent adviser. He had tried to keep her away from the team as much as possible while she was a growing girl, For some reason, which he never explained, he did not want her to marry a baseball man. From the moment she Larry Doyle she had had different ideas. Pop sensed the growing ro- mance and tried to nip it in the bud. He talked to Frances about- Doyle, and she tried to understand his feel- ing, but would not promise him any- thing. She had too much of his own fighting spirit to quit without a strug- gle. She liked Larry Doyle and knew that Larry Doyle liked her, just as a woman always knows when a man is really interested. Frances did noth- ing to make Pop feel badly because of young Doyle. She refused to go to the movies or the theatre with him, but she did speak to him every chance ghehad, ~~ among you, which I don't know about, | and scrape unsweetened . chocolate little curls and tiny feathers of rich had met | With late summer come !the as- ters, marigolds and cosmos and a table: set with palé russet asters, bright yellow marigolds and white cosmos; just needs a big Devil's Food Cake to make a perfect combination of color and something good to eat.

Naturally some of them have to leave 'home, and it is greatly to the credit of | parents that they have always striven to give a bright boy or girl educa- tion, often at- no little sacrifice on the part of other members of the family. Now, however, the farm can be made more attractive. There are good schools, good roads, motor cars, the radio and telephone, and if the farmer is progressive and profits by the advice of experts in the employ of the government, if he is willing to co-operate and make the best of his '|opportunities, he can get along when times are at their worst, - The proof of this statement is found in the experience of those -| progressive farmers who are to \be found in every country district, and the pity of it is that there are not far more of them.--Saint John Tele- graph-Journal.
