White Girl Living Among Aboriginal
‘Tribes In Australla May Be

A white gitl who for nine years has
been living among a tribe of little
known aborigines in the wilds of
Northern Australia was sought
cently on basis of rumors filtering
back to civilization.

Reports that the beautiful young
girl, about 18 years old, had been
seen recently resulted in organization
of an expedition to penetrate the
wilds. |

The reports were given substantia-
tion by other reports which followed

Governments are not so much to blame as are the people themselves,
because Governments have acted in the past, and will act in the future, as
the people desire, and if the people are actuated by petty, local, selfish
considerations, rather than by a large and fine consideration for the welfare

Rapid growth in recent years of the |

use of the automobile as @ means of

many departments, officials are allow- |
ed in certain cases to use their own |
cars when travelling on government |
service, for which they are paid, ai
some cases a monthly allowance, 11
other cases an allowance based on
mileage. These allowances, with per-
haps a few exceptions, are determined
by the departments concerned, and
are far from being uniform,

“While I recognize the fact Lae

a tendency, very difficult to check, to
abuse the privilege by use of automo-

where ordinary rail transportation
would be more economical, Another
new feature which will have to be
seriously considered in the near future
is the increasing use of the airplane
as a means of transportation.”

‘The auditor-general adds that it has
been found especially difficult to deal
with accounts rendered by members
of commissions and similar bodies.

Illuminated Keyholes

New Utility Designed To Be Of
Assistance To Car Drivers

Inventors haye battled it. Pen-like
flashlights haye been marketed as
keyhole finding aids. Even the comic
magazines have offered suggestions.
Then came the automobile which add-
ed just one more phase to the prob-
lem; an ignition lock keyhole located
in the most shadowy corner of the in-
strument panel. Thousands refused
to remove the key, leaving their cars
at the mercy of thieves, rather than
play a losing game of hide and seek
when darkness fell.

All this, however, before the auto
engineers pulled down their eye-
shades, gripped their micrometers and
started to grapple with the problem.
Days, months, years passed; then
Eureka. The answer is found in
1932; they have illuminated keyholes.

DRAPERIES MADE NEW

“When we resumed housekeeping a
month ago I found my draperies had
become creased from packing. I hung
them out on the line, hoping to
remove the creases. Then I forgot
them. The result was they became
badly faded and sun-spotted.

“I was heartsick until the happy
thought struck me to dye them. I
just dyed them a deeper green, and
as I used Diamond Dyes they look
gorgeous and new. I have never seen
easier dyes to use than Diamond
Dyes. They give the most beautiful
colors—when used either for tinting
or dyeing—and never take the life
out of cloth as other dyes do.”

Eclipses Of the Sun

The belt of totality of the eclipse
of the sun on August 31, 1932,
roughly 100 miles wide, passes from
the Arctic regions via the east coast
of James Bay, continuing ~ down
through the province of Quebec and
crossing the St, Lawrence Just east
of Montreal; thence it continues
southeastward and passes into the
ocean by way of the State of Maine.

World’s Biggest Light :
Invention Of Briton
Claimed To Make Escape Of

| by Major J. C, Savage, famous for
| sky-writing, after many experiments

over a long period. Major Savage
said:

“We have built the biggest search-
light in the world. We can make a
beam in the form of a grid that has
vertical and horizontal lines, or we
can turn the whole of the light into
a straight line which would make a
-shaped beam of 60 degrees. ;
‘One of the greatest uses of this
lighting system will be against hos-
tile aircraft in war. Up till now the
method had been to use a searchlight
beam that represents merely a spot
in the sky. By means of this inven-
tion we throw into the sky a grid of
light covering an enormous area.

“In that grid no aeroplane can es-
cape, and the pilot, even in trying to
spin out of the light, must be held
there; and as a result of the grid,
which is equivalent to a squared
map, his speed, height, and direction
can immediately be ascertained by
anti-craft gunners.

“The light has a strength of 3,000,-
000,000 candle power.
fore, I think, has been able to use
anything beyond 2,000,000,000.

“We have already been able to take
this light up to 16,000 feet, but TI
think we shall be able to carry the
beam up to 25,000 feet. There seems
to be little doubt that as a result of
the grid air defensive work will be
completely revolutionized.

“But there are other important ap-
plications. A straight line beam of
60 degrees would not only be of great
utility in lighting’ aerodromes but
for harbor defence work and for
other naval purposes.

“The light is so good that you are
able to read a newspaper six miles
away.”

Infinitely Better
A suburban gentleman who raised
strawberries invited a number of boys
in the neighborhood to a strawberry
party. When they had all partaken
of the luscious berries, he said to
them “Now wasn't that better than
stealing into my garden and helping
yourselves?!”
“Oh, yes sir,” chorused the boys.
“And why was it better?” he ask-
ed desirous of pointing a moral.
“Because,” said a chubby faced
youngster, “we shouldn’t have had
any sugar and cream with 'em.”
