sonal habits by legislation. It is not
so muck drink over here as smoking
that is causing the home office worry.
There is a law that compels tobacco
shops to close every evening at 8. It
was enacted during the war to save
fuel, lights, etc., and release a certain
amount of labor for employment more
essential to the winning of the war
than selling cigarettes and cigars.
The law is still in force and there
are no indications that it will be re
pealed.
But it is being evaded. Many to
bacco shops upon closing their doors
at night leave outside a slot machine
which delivers cigarettes to any one

. who puts in a sixpence or a shilling.
There are even penny machines that
deliver a couple of “gaspers ' to those
who insert a huge British copper.
The machine doesn’t distinguish be
tween a little boy’s coin and one put
in by a grown man. And that is
what Is worrying the home office.
Children who wouldn’t be allowed to
purchase cigarettes in shops are pro
curing them from the machines.
At the moment there is plenty of
labor available for even such unessen
tial industries as selling cigarettes.
But there has been no suggestion to
resume the pre-war habit of selling
tobacco after dinner.
Better Lighting to Improve Movies
Urged by British Chemistry Expert
By Science Service.
LONDON, October 9. —Improvement
of the "movies” by more scientific
lighting of the theaters is urged be
fore the Royal Photographic Society
by Dr. K. C. D. Hickman of the de
partment of chemistry at the Royal
College of Science. This does not re
quire more lights, but a better ar
rangement of the illumination, he
says. Chief of his recommendations,
which are based on a study of the
operation of the human eye, is that
instead of surrounding the screen with
black velvet or other dark hangings,
this area should be fairly bright. The
screen itself, however, should not re
ceive any light other than that from
the projector.
The chief trouble with the lighting
in the theaters is in contrast. “Only
a small portion of the retina—the
sensitive lining of the eye—is being
used,” Dr. Hickman states, "while the
outer portion is being kept dark;
whereas anywhere else it would all be
subject to the same lllumliiation. It
is the field of view embraced by this
outer region which determines the sen
sitiveness of the eye. This increases
the contrast and apparent brightness,
giving the picture a fictitious strength
•and brilliancy, and also it induces eye
strain. A collateral effect Is the de
struction of all sense of blackness, for
it is impossible to appreciate as black
1 the shadows in scenes whose darkest
———
parts are brighter than the surround
ings in the theater.
The improvements suggested by
Dr. Hickman consist in arranging the
side lights so that they cannot shine
on the screen. The region around
the screen might be illuminated, he
says, by making it of light color and
projecting light onto it from an extra
stereoptlcon in the booth, using a
slide with a central opaque portion,
so that none of it would go on the
screen. Another method suggested
would be to have the screen a short
distance from the wall, with lights
back of it. In this way, he asserts,
the lighting of the theater would be
more uniform and the effect would be
more that of an actual scene viewed
through a window.
Auto Deaths Alarm Britain.
From the Minneapolis Journal.
Great Britain is alarmed because its
motor fatalities have risen to the
average of one p. day. Here in
America we see a more alarming aver
age checked up against many a State
with only 2,000,000 or 3,000,000 popula
tion, and we also are displeased. But
there is this difference: Great Britain
probably will really do something
about it.
