“POLAROID” is a word intro-
dneed not lone afo to the science
of phyvieo, about which I fuaran-
too m will bear a great deal in
(ho bravo new world of the future

opinion, more important for man-

kind than all the tax bills, and all
•tbs politicians, and all the labor
onions, and all the schemes of
socialism and communism and
fascism. But this represents an
old grouch of mins—why so much
etfort is given to politics and so
(little to the enormously more im-
portant subjects of science.
Science has always caused more
.change and happiness in raan-
• btad’s life than ad the politics
that ever happened. Mankind
want through the torture of the
Magna Charts, the Bill of Rights,
and the Reform Bill, the French
Revolution, the Emancipation
Proclamation and people rushed
excitedly around and called each
other aR kinds of names, and heads
were bashed in and armies were
mobilized and then science quietly
laid the steam engine in tho lap of
mankind and it changed every de-
tail of everyone’s life more than
all the taxes and charters and bills
and proclamations, yet no con-
gress had to convene to get it dona.
. Enlarge* Scope of Bight
But to get away from politicians
and back to polaroid. It is liable
to cause a revolution in our way of
living because it enlarges the
scope of one of our senses—sight.
It is a platitude to remind you
that we are at the mercy of our
senses, but every once in a while
we realise how limited they are
and how much more extended the
senses of some animals are.
Your dog has a far wider range
ef hearing than you have: there ts
a little gadget called Dshon’s
13d,
whistle that ean.be blown and yoa
will hear no sound at all, tot yool
dog pricks up his ear*, mate*
around and begins to foveadgOte.
Your cat doe* better *n a Mock
night than you do even with a
ef Vitamin A. And we would
probably be embarrassed at
first if we were suddenly endowed
with the range and delieaoy of
smell a wild animal has.
Polaroid is an extension of ti-
sion by an arrangement of glossed.
Yon can get it, or at least the
armed ferees can get it, in the
form ft goggles and spectacles,
and camera filters and periscopes
and angle finders. The United
States armed forees have a groat
advantage in the use of Polaroid
because our enemies lock tho skill
and materials to make the instru-
ments.
Selective Limiting of Vision
Polarised light gives yea a new
kind of vision by really bnritl^
it, or rather, selecting out certain
.kinds of light rays for yon to see
If you sit by an open window you
can wave to a friend out of the
window in anv direction, but if you
are in jail behind a barred window
you can wave to bins only up and
down. Polarized light rays come
;te your eyes in only one plane,
either up or down or sidewise.
Polarised lenses are "optical slots”
through which light vibrations
have to squeese.
But with that advantage you
ean see a eertain object in a land-
scape that would be lost in eon-
fusion otherwise—this is why It is
so valuable for airplane bombing.
With polarized lenses glare can be
controlled, completely eliminated.
It will be a standardequipment ef
automobile headlights. These head-
lights besides eliminating glare
will pick oat details of the road,
pedestrians and driving land-
marks, even when passing another
car. Office lighting will be changed,
eliminating glare and increasing
visibility.
We are on the verge of a new
era of sight.
SYNOPSIS
Having helped Colin X as, of the
Hertdflk*» Bay Company, to escape

the youthful Irina Meredith went

Cotin’s first impulse was to
that tbe-eompany had nothi?
with M# coming to Learmon
that might be precisely what Dove
wanted to know, and, instead of an-
•weffcig, he asked, “Why should I
wont to interfere with you?”
“Because I threaten the virtual
monopoly of yont company in the
far trade here. You don’t relish the
prospect that this winter most ef

the trappers will briqg their pelts
to me. The profits that would go
into your directors’ pockets will go
back <0 the trappers themselves.
But you—”
Dove’s eyes had shifted to the
opening door, and, following his
gaze, Colin saw Irina step from the
inner room.
“It's to quiet—” she began, then,
catching light of Dove, she stopped
short, and Colin read the question
in her eyes: bow had he reached
Learmonth?
Selkirk introduced them, .and
Dove bowed over the girl’s hand.
“You are very loVelV,” he said
simply. “Here in this bleak north
country we should be grateful for
beauty.” Smiling, he looked up at
Selkirk. “I Waa on the verge of
quarreling with you when this lady
saved me. I keep forgetting that
nothing is ever solved by argument.'
Here is a better suggestion: bring
Miss Meredith and Mr. Rae over to
the school for dhmer.” Dove paused.
’'’Let’s say Wednesday, when the
last boat comes in. Than I can show
you what I am trying to do. You
may not agree that my work is
good, but we can at least be enemies
sn a basis of understanding.”
Dove looked toward the girl.
"You persuade them,” he urged.
With grewing wender Colin
watched the little man struggle into
his overcoat. He was beyond pre-
diction. Tbe very thing Rae wanted
most was to get inside the school,
and now Dove himself was offering
that opportunity — but not until
Wednesday. Too much might hap-
pen before Wednesday, and Rae
had just decided to find some reason
for an earlier visit when he heard
Dove call his name.
“Could I speak with you outside,
Mr, Xae?" Dove was asking.
jke tbe shock of an el critic
spark, something within Cotin sig-
naled danger. Dove’s face had*be-‘
come more nrasktike, and the eyes
not quite the friendly eyes of a
moment paap. Silently Xae (otiawed
him out into the sunshine.
Dove led him a few feet down the
path; then suddenly he Whirled.
“Do yen still believe I tolled Van
Dewne?”
The question came with the jolt-
ing force of a physical blow;.but,
when he answered, Colin's value
was quiet as Dove’s, and even more
cold.
“If I were sure yon killed Van
Downe, you would be dead now.
Van Downe was my friend.”
“That means you haven’t de-
cided.”
“It means that if I had been on
the jury, I would have done amcQj
what they did—exonerate you.”
“I’m glad.” Dove’s voice seemed
a shade less tight. “Then that
brings us back to our original ques-
tion. Why are you here?”
-“This is my borne. I was bora
here.”
Again that searching scrutiny,
while Dove buttoned his eoot, aad
now, as ii he had dicaiisaod toa
ject, b* said: “Come over to
school Wednesday. Whether tot
work I am doing ie important nr
not, only the future ean say. But I
knew this: it is tho work I intend
to carry on in spite ad any appeal-
tkm. So, if the company sent Fan
hero to fight me, I can promts* you
a fight to the last ditch.”
Dove took a few steps down tho
path, then glanced back, and Cetih
saw that he waa smiling. “You’re

Selkirk led Irina
going to tho inn, I'll take her down.
I may stay there myself for a few
days.”
“WflU aft go together.” Selkirk
picked up Irina’s bag. “Yqu’re
about to meet Ms Corrigale,” be
(bid her. “She runs the inn, and
she’s one of the grandest women in
the North.”
“Only,” Colin cautioned, “don’t
mind what aha says.”
. A twenty-minute walk took them

Footsteps sounded from the kitch-

'Yes. How did you?”
The smile broadened,

tions, Colin watched Dove walk
down the path. What had
learned? For himself, Colia fek
he had learned nothing..
himself, he turned back toward toe
bungalow, where, eyes wide with
wonder, Irina ran up to him. “How
did he ever get here?” She waa
breathless with excitement.
“Said he chartered a plane from
The Pas.” Then, to Selkirk, “Can
we check on that?”
“I think so.”
“Let’s do.” Colin closed the door.
“Well, how did Mr. Jonathan Dot*
strike you?”
Selkirk’s sensitive face reflected
his indecision. “I still can’t believe
that man is a murderer. And he
certainly didn’t seem unfriendly to
you. It doesn’t make sense, Cotin.
Yesterday he tries to do you la;
today he invites you to dinner at
the school.”
“I think it makes perfect sens*,”
Colin answered. "Don’t forget it’s
easier to do away with people in a
city than it is here. And bnides,
Dove is puzzled. He’s been working
on the conviction that I was bring-
ing information to Winnipeg. Noth-
ing less than that could haV* stam-

from Wolverine. But now he finds
I only wanted to come here. So he’s
uncertain about me^and he realizes
he has nothing to lose, and mayb* a
lot to gain, by being friendly until
he finds out what I’m up to. Mean-
while, I don’t intend to go tha way
Van Downe went.”
Selkirk laid a hand on Colin’a
sleeve. “You’re not letting your
imagination do things to you?”
“Maybe. In a game like this the
man with the best imagination
stays alive longest.” Rae glanced
