NEW INVENTION MAKES MOVIES TALK URBANA, Ill., Dec. 20.—Will the moving picture industry receive a revolutionary addition through a scientific discovery made at the University of Illinois, basic patents for which are held by that institution? It seems possible that this discovery will make the movies of the future talk, so that there will no longer be "the silent drama." The scientific discovery is that of an extremely sensitive and reliable "photo-electric cell," made about two years ago in the physical laboratories of the University by Prof. Jakob Kunz. The incident is a good example of the unexpectedness by which some great discovery may be made years in advance before it can be practically used. The photo-electric cell is a device for turning flashes of light into electric pulses and is so sensitive that it reacts to light from stars which cannot be seen with the naked eye. Because of this extreme sensitiveness, the photo-electric cell promises to displace the selenium cell which has been used up to the present time in experiments carried on to produce speech accompanying moving pictures. A Swedish scientist has developed a device which he calls the "photo-phone" by which such speech is more or less perfectly produced. This is done by having a second film on the same spindle as the moving picture film, on which are photographed various curves and openings corresponding to the words which are to accompany the pictures. A beam of light sent through this film falls upon a selenium cell. The selenium cell depends upon a discovery made many years ago that the metal selenium changes its electric resistance when light falls upon it. It is thus possible to get variations in an electric current by letting the ing, and the general average, according to the estimates, is dangerously below requirements. However, officials predict the situation will not reach the point where rice riots, such as occurred a few years ago, need be feared. There have been too many evidences of social unrest in Japan recently for the authorities to take any chance whatever with a recurrence of the rice riots. They're going to import rice in whatever quantities may be needed, and if necessary, sit on the price lid as well. SOVIETS PLAN TO PENETRATE NORTH SEAS LONDON, Dec. 20—Although two ships of the soviet government's recent expedition from Western Europe to the Kara Sea were lost, plans are already being considered for a more expensive expedition in 1922, the object of which will be to further open up this dangerous ice-ridden waterway that connects the West with the far reaches of Siberia, along the Arctic ocean. The results of the 1921 expedition are regarded quite satisfactory, especially in having demonstrated the possibility of arranging a heavy goods service on a large scale. Under the experiment, 556,532 poods of goods from abroad and 100,000 poods of tar from Archangel were delivered in Siberia, while 294,566 poods of general merchandise and 535,934 poods of wheat were brought from Siberia to Archangel. Besides the purely practical result that has been achieved by the MANILA, P. I. Dec. 18—(Delayed)—R. F. Herrick, Boston banker, has completed a plan for reorganization of the finances of the Philippine islands based on an intensive study made here at the request of Secretary of War Weeks and with the approval of Major General Leonard Wood, governor of the islands, it was made known today. Herrick is leaving immediately for Washington to lay his plans before officials there. The plan is designed to restore the financial stability of the island it hinges upon the official action at Washington, it was stated. Tentative approval to Herrick's plan has been given by native Philippine political leaders, it was stated. The financial position of the islands has been serious since the dispersion of the gold reserve several years ago. New York exchange now carries an eleven per cent premium, acutely affecting prices and living costs. TEST GIRLS' RIGHT TO POWDER NOSES KNOBEL, Ark., Dec. 19.—Do school girls have a legal right to use face powder? That question is expected to be decided here today, when Circuit Court Judge Marion Futrell rules on a writ of mandamus brought against the board of education of this little town of 500 population by pretty Miss Pearl Pugsel, age 18 years. Miss Pugsley was dismissed from the local high school by Principal N. E. Hicks, because she used powder and is seeking "restoration of her rights." Some time ago the board de- speech is more or less perfectly produced. This is done by having a second film on the same spindle as the moving picture film, on which are photographed various curves and openings corresponding to the words which are to accompany the pictures. A beam of light sent through this film falls upon a selenium cell. The selenium cell depends upon a discovery made many years ago that the metal selenium changes its electric resistance when light falls upon it. It is thus possible to get variations in an electric current by letting the beam of light from a speech photograph fall upon such a cell. These variations act in a telephone to produce speech. The selenium cell is much inferior to Dr. Kunz's photo-electric cell in transforming light waves into electric pulses. The photo-electric cell is not only much more sensitive, but it has no lag; that is, it responds immediately to a light wave even after hours and days of use. The selenium cell is not only not as sensitive, but it has the disadvantage of having this lag, or fatigue. "Dr. Kunz has been working for several years on the effect of light on certain of the alikali metals, such as potassium and sodium," said the head of the department. "A layer of any one of these metals when in a vacuum or certain low pressure gases gives off negative electricity, that is, a current of electricity can be produced by letting a beam of light fall upon a film of potassium which is properly prepared inside of an exhausted glass bulb. The current passes across the evacuated space to a loop of platinum wire and thus to the outside circuit. While this electric current is very small, it can be amplified by methods which are well known today in electro-technics, and so the size of the current is no detriment to the use of the photo-electric cell. "Just as the little currents, which were set up at Arlington cemetery on Armistice day by President Harding's voice were magnified and reproduced thousands of miles away, so can these little photo-electric currents be magnified and produce sounds in loud speaking telephones." It is therefore logical to expect that the scientific discovery of a sensitive and reliable photo-electric cell will be used to give us the perfect photo-phone of the future. One large company is said to be already developing such a use of this photo-electric cell. Quality and Style AMERICAN RICE SHIPPED TO JAPAN By CLARENCE DUBOSE United Press Staff Correspondent TOKIO, (By Mail)—The carrying of coals to Newcastle is being duplicated here. Rice is being imported into Japan. A few days ago a shipment of 5,600 bags of American rice reached here from San Francisco and negotiations are under way for the importation this winter of considerable large lot quantities of rice from the United States. Japan faces the serious situation of finding itself unable this year to produce a sufficient home-consumption supply of the food upon which most of its people principally subsist. Bills have been prepared for introduction in the new session of the district in December lifting temporarily the import duty on rice. Meanwhile an emergency order will be issued, removing the duty for the time, if the district is slow in action, and if the necessity for quick imports justifies. Large quantities of rice will be brought from Korea and China. These sources are expected to supply most of the Japanese deficit. American supplies will be a last resort because of cost and distance. But there is a feeling among authorities on the situation that importations from the states, on a scale heretofore unknown, may be necessary. Excessive fall rains played havoc with this year's rice crop in Japan. In some districts production was reduced to almost noth- Quality and Style In Men’s Hats Those are the paramount features of our Hats. When a man comes here for a Hat he knows he will get Quality.
