Pulse of the Ocean May Yet E
Be Harnessed by Boring of
Tunnels Through the Cliffs.

Near the city Of Santa Cruz, Cal,
there is a low tableland along the
shore, with abrupt chalklike cliffs
some 20 feet high. In several places
the action of the waves has worn
picturesque archways through projec-
tons from these cliffs. At one pace
an arched tunnel extends directly
inshore and into Il small open pit
like space in tive rocks.
As the ocean swells come shore
ward In rhythmic succession with the
regular pulse of the vast Pacific their
hydraulic pressure internationally
forces the water up in the pit to q
level higher than that Of the surface
of the water.
So there, in that natural chamber,
someone years ago built a float. 1t
works up and down. safe from storm
waves. and its regular perpendicular
tread is attached to Il wheel that turns
an electric generator.
The point is, writes an engineer,
that perhaps other cliffs Immediately
and continuously exposed TO a ac-
ton might be artifieially equipped
with similar well holes and tunnels,
bored through from the land SIDE and
made to serve as practical sea pulse
motors. Such an arrangement would
attain conversion of ocean energy in
dependently of high and low tides.
1t would take advantage, where topo-
graphy permitted, merely of the pulse
of the ocean. And if successful where
| there are cliffs, why might it not be
made so by creating artificial tun-
neIS and we'll holes made of concrete!

Machinery Of the
Body
By DR.. SAMUEL c.. DIXON
Commissioner Of Health Of Pennsylvania

The indifference of mankind to his
body has always been beyond my
comprehension. His value as an indi-
vidual unit among his kind depends
upon the condition of the living organ
ic machinery within his body. This
represents natures greatest effort. 1t
is upon the perfection of this ma
chinery that our nation will have to
depend to succeed In the horrible war
we have been plunged into to preserve
our national liberty.
Man should be taught from child
hood to be proud of his body. He
should be taught early in life that 1t
Is the home of his brain and very soul.
He should be taught how complicated
it is and what great care is necessary
TO keep 1t In order. and that every
time Ii Is out of order 1t falls below
its normal standard of accomplish
ment.
The care of the body means the
ARE of its outward parts, like the
ticularly those of & 81; n.
Notwithstanding ct that the
body Is the most Die property
mankind possesses, acre is nothing
toward which the majority of men dis
play more indifference. There seems
10 be q general idea that the body Is
i~ndestructible. That is why we see sc
many poor. miserable specimens OF
mankind within our midst. If they
realized what objects of pity they
really are, every effort would be made
70 spruce up" and present the best
possible appearance TO their fellow
creatures.
l have heard people say of others
''They are too proud to care for ap
pearances." Yet these same people
would be apt to share III common
feeling of being proud of the appear
ance of their homes. of our mechan
ical machinery. or Of our animals, par
ticularly our ~horses.
Many a man allows his children tt
grow up without proper cares or at
tention for their bodies, the temple OF
all they have, while his driving horse
is kept in n state of perfection sc
that ii may not only be admired, bu'
also perform its duties TO the highes
degree.
A pet d%riving-horse has its bod!
kept clean, its bed and living condi
tons most carefully looked after. anC
its food prepared with the creates
care. If one day it does not get n:
much physical exercise as on another
the food is reduced so that its physica
condition may be maintained. If /
gets over-warm while travelling, it l
at once covered with a blanket to pre-
vent taking cold.
Let us give thought TO what we ar
doing and see that u bodies an'
those of u children are at least a
we'll taken care of as thos of on
animals, and that we value them a
highly as our other possessions. lie
us at once learn TO be proud of OF
bodies and realize the fact that the.
are complicated and require the great
est care 10 keep them in order.
Just now our nation demands tina
each individual be of the creates
value that we may win this war upol
which our liberty depends.

 Building home, adding something of use to the tangible assets of the na- ton, doing your part to create real value, are some of the reasons why a glow of satisfaction pervades the per- son or the group that work out such an enterprise.
 It is an undertaking that Is so w0n- derfully worthwhile, so fraught with good results to so many people that this instinct-and 1t is an instinct should be given every encouragement. If you feel the idea stirring in your breast give it all possible opportunity to grow.
 What kind of home to build apd of what to build it are among the. next questions that arise for settlement.

Washington originally was the county seat. Three years ago an election was held and Hope was declared the victor The county offices and records were nov ed to Hope and placed in a rented building. Last spring the Supreme Court, in a case growing out of the election, held that returns in two townships indicated there was fraud in the election because many more votes were recorded than there were voters registered on the poll tax books.

 However, the overall size of this house, fl by 32 feet, provided ample space for four bedrooms and bath.
 To the adherent of the wonderful benefits of outdoor sleeping the screened porch on the second floor would prove an irresistible attraction. Under such circumstances the small front bedroom would be used as a dressing room.

 In all modern homes are combined much earnest thought, improved meth ods of construction, the proper kinds of materials and suitable equipment and fittings.
 A home that is architecturally and physically right is one of life's great est achievements.
 If possible do not make the mis- take of building the first home for practice. Home building is an ex- pensive pastime and the home builder assumes q moral responsibility, for the mere transfer of title to house does not rectify any of its defects in ap- pearance or arrangement. They are perpetually in evidence, a tangible monument to the builders lack of un- derstanding of problem he made a half-hearted effort to solve.
 Homes should be concrete express sions of individual taste, tempered, harmonized and justified by compe- tent architect. The architect knows how one of your ideas will appear as a part of your home, whereas you think of it as 1t appeared when part of something else.
 Cost-Gauge the cost of the home by the depth of the pocketbook Keep the contract price as far as possible
