A scientifically illuminated shop helps to make satis patrons. It doesn't experience the wrath of customers who return goods with the explanation that "it doesn't look the same in daylight." Better illumination shows its real value in the daily sales record. Finding the best light sometimes puzzles the merchant. But experiments are no longer necessary. Experts of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission Ontario have found the best lamps for store illumination--HYDRO Gas Fill- ps. These lamps give a brilliant light closely resembling day iaht. This fact alone akes them desirable for store illumination. 1 Lamps are truly economical. Hydres Shop for a demonstration.

The way the idea originated was {as follows: Alfred Fitspatrick, on | graduating from Queen's University, | Was sent on mission work tp the lum- "| ber eamp in the redwoods of Calle { fornia. There he labored as a young | minister for a long season. But he { found an impassable gulf between | himself and the lumbermen he was to work among. of them were foreigners. There was the gulf of language. They were of European and near-Asian re- ligion. They had no point of view that could be reached by new-world, western ideas and ideals. And right there Mr. Fitzpatrick decided that before the foreign im- migrant could be reached by the higher ideals of church and school, that gulf had to be bridged. He returned to Canada and in 1900 gave up the ministry and launched the reading camp idea. He opened with three lumber camps in Algoma, He aimed to teach English and the rudiments of citizenship and néw-world ideals to the foreigh- jer. And to the native lumberjack, he directed good reading, the three "r's" and an interest in citizenship. To back him, he had a few interested lumbermen and timber-owners. Year by year, his work spread. From lumber camps in Algoma he carried his idea to the Rockies and to the Labrador, in mines, camps, railway gangs and frontier settlers. From two young helpers he rose to | & company of seventy lecturers, all i young varsity men who donned shoe- | packs and flannel shirts and toiled | with picks or sledge-hammers, The first attempt to secure Gov | ernment aid raised the magnificent { annual donation of twenty-five dol~ lars for the association. Sir George Ross raised this to $500, and in slow stages it has risen to an annual | grant of $7,600 from the Ontario | Government. Principal Fitzpatrick | has asked the Minister of Education to dduble this amount annually. This past summer there have been forty-five instructors working from coast to coast. This winter, there will be seventy. The nearest branches "of the Frontier College to Toronto are at a railway extra-gang at Orono, and a Hydro gang at work on a power canal at Niagara. There are seven instructors working among the Hydro laborers. These instructors dig ditches by day and teach English and citizenship in the evening. : There has been mo attempt to carry the work into the cities, for Canadianizing the foreigner than the Froatier College, But during the war, one class was formed of Toronto Russians, but the police raided it, cast a score of them in jail, where one died, and since then the Russians hate avoided romtanRtion. & recognised institu the Froatier College will no doubt fiour- It is urging establish extra-mural and there was e of it." ------------------ Water va.

LL.D., was an obscure member of the back benches, a big, jovial, youthful French-Canadian, scarcely able to read or write, or even to speak in English. To-day he is conceded to be one of the foremost orators in the House of Commons, speaking with weight and authority and Standing easily among the first half dozen fig- ures in the Parliamentary life of the nation. When Sir Wilfrid Laurier returned to Parliament in 1917 La- | pointe with 2 number of other com- | paratively unknown members moved up to the front benches. Almost at | once the House became conscious of the presence of a formidable person- ality. The shy. ynobtrustive, almost difident French-Canadian suddenly revealed himself as a brilliant poli- tical lieutenant, eloquent and aggres- sive. His speeches, though few, came | to be regarded as models of eloquence and lucidity, and though the new | House, mostly embittered against | Quebec, was little in sympahy with | his doctrines, men of all parties paid tribute to his talents and sincerity. | To Sir Wilfrid, with his following decimated intellectually as well as | numerically, he was as the shadow of | a rock in a weary land, and in the | last year of his life no voice Was | more potent in influencing the "Old | | Chiel's!' course of action than that | | of this newly arisen star in the Que- | | bec political firmament. Fade Under Exposure of Sun. Several years ago a contract was aken to supply a vertical installa- ion of prisms in a store front of a | \aberdasher in the main business horoughfare of Indianapolis, Ind, fo install the prisms properly it was leceasary to cut off five feet from he top part of the plate glass, vhich had been in position for a un's rays during much of the time. Alter the prisms had been installed Le five-foot piece of plate glass sal- vaged was thoroughly cleaned and Jolished and consigned to stock for "esale. In the course of time this sal- raged piece of glass was sold, to be ised in a front window of a new resi- lence in one of the principal streets inthe fashionable residence section. The house was completed and the owner having taken possession, was thoroughly enjoying the sensations of the new home, when the family began to receive telephone calls of a rather puzzling and perplexing nature, ask- ing the price and how quickly de- livery could be effected in various quantities of shirts made to order. A certain wag in the community called up the owner, complaining that he, the owner, had made a mistake in bullding a shirt factory in that neighborhood, and that if he persist- ed In operating a factory in his resi- dence, in all fairness and consider- alion to his new neighbors, he should | at least remove all advertising from his front window. The daughtér of the house be- coming thoroughly aggravated and annoyed at what she had presumed was a practical joke of some sort, proceeded to make an investigation on her own account, which resulted In the writer being requested to eall at the house." He was greeted at the front door by Mr. Owner and asked whether the plate glass furnished Was really first grade or seeond To the reply that, from a close inspeétion at that moment, it was a beautifully pelished high grade piece of plate, and to all ap- bearances, absolutely without blem- ish, he assumed a peculiar knowing smile and asked me to walk down the street with him a short dis tance; turning abruptly at perhaps fifty paces, he asked me to look at the window, To my astonishment plainly legible at the particular angle, at which we stood, were the words: "John Doe--8hirts Made to Order." What seemed to be a phenomenon was easily explained. Previous to the plate glass being removed from the show window of the haberdash- er, there had been pasted white enameled letters. "John Doe Shirts Made to Order." These letters be ing subjected to the direct rays of the sun for a period of years had prevented the (originally 43 was the case with that jordes which was not immediately hack the opaque enameled letters.

Beware of the friend who thinks i{ necesaary to remind you of the Tact often in words. fading of the glass, Since the passing of Laurier, La- | pointe's stature has steadily grown | greater. At the National Liberal | Convention he was an outstanding | figure. Without Lapointe the convention might have turned out a disastrous | failure. Smarting under the realiz- | ation that no Roman Catholic or | French-Canadian was eligible for the party leadership, a number of the younger represemtation from Que- | bec fought hard to have the French- | Canadian delegates withdraw from | the convention altogether. The ques- | tion came to a head on the second day of the convention, when, in a | Secret caucus of the Quebec repre- | | sentatives, Mr. O. David (now a mem- : ber of the Quebec Goverament) made | an impassioned protest against the | position which French-Canadians oc- | cupled in the convention, and formal- ! ly moved that they withdraw with- | out taking further part in either for- | mulation of a platform or selection | of a leader. The situation was a | critical ome, for, with most of the | younger delegates rebellious against | Sir Lomer Gouin, and with little ex- | perienced leadership to guide them | there was danger of the motion being | carried. Lapointe, however, saved the | day. In a speech of moving elo-| quence he denounced Mr. David's mo- | tion 48 aiming a mortal blow at the | spirit of Confederation, as an insult | to the life and work and memory of | Sir Wilfrid Laurier. "We are net | here as Frenchmen," he said, *'but as Liberals and Canadians. Let us then | be true to the spirit of our political | faith and of our country. Let us be | true to the teachings of the great man of our race who for more than half a century toiled unceasingly and not unsuecessfully to bring \peace | and harmony in this country. Above | all; let us not be ingrates to the | Protestants of this country who fol- | lowed Sir Wilfrid Laurier, a French- | Canadian and 'a Roman Catholle, | through the storms and stress of | nearly forty years." The appeal was | irresistible, and when the resolution | was put to the caucus only two men | out of nearly four hundred stood up | to support it. ! As an orator he is surpassed by | few in the House. Without the grace | or the stately charm of a Laurier, | and lacking the tempestuous, onrush- ing eloquence of a Lemieux, he has a powdered, raplered, analytical style which does not suffer because of the passionate fervor with which he sometimes seeks to convince, and this, added to the fine presence which goes with remarkable physical sta- ture, gives him the essential attri butes of oratory.
