Temporary Houses Should Be Built
On Government Owned Property
By EARL GOODWIN.
To Get Into Private Real Estate Transactions VIII Result Dsastrouy
for the City sf Washingtsn.

The United States is about to spend ten million dollars
this city provide wartime houses for the great
flow of Government clerks
There should be not moment of discussion to how
this sum should be spent.
For the good of the city and the fair of the b=ss
would advise that not cent of it be sperS
for real estate now privately
the temporary housing villages, barracks, apartments
whatever they will be- should be erected land
owned by the United States Government 1t should be
the Government offices, if possible
All attempts to put something over in the name Of
permanent Identification of the city, should be suppressed
rush to sell the Government real estate for this purpose
will be damaging to the citys fair
Washington business should have a long-range
view of what is being said about this city it IS Half
dozen leading magazines within six weeks have painted
unhatterng pictures of this city To offset this sort
of reputation give out interviews to the local
pers expressing deep surprise The wiser thing to do is to
sweep the money changers from the temple.
The ten million dollars which the Government is about
to spend in Washington is to build homes for thirty thou
sand homeless clerks
Now ten million dollars if you stop to take out prices
of real estate will not last ten minutes At cost of five
hundred dollars person. it will cost fifteen million dol
lars to house thirty thousand clerks So you
that ten million dollars would not provide much HOUSING
after privately owned real estate got through with it.
Members of Congress not blind. They know what
will happen that ten million dollars if it is turned loose
without guardian.

AS originally presented, this
murder was simply described In q

Bernard Shaw, with his unerring

very clearly this contrast between
the attitudes OF the wife and the
private secretary in his Candida.
The reader there beholding the
husband through the eyes OF Can

bag, a self-deceived hypocrite; yet
it is also made plain that Prossy,
the private secretary. regarded him
as something approaching the sub
lime. And, perhaps, Prossy had as
much reason for her opinion as
Candida had for hers; since we

VIII you kindly write an article
on liquid air and what II does?
r. s. BRONX.
THIS wonderful century pro-
duces marvels so fast hat
the greatest are soon 6 ;al-
lowed up in the multitude Of their
successors. Twenty years ago
everybody knew, or might easily
learn from current publications,
all about liquid air and everybody
was talking about it; today it is
hardly ever mentioned. 1t has be-
come a kind of tradition. Yet it
marks one of mans greatest
achievements.
Liquid air bears to the air we
breathe about the same relation
that water bears to superheated
steam. We certainly would never
think of air as being hot, espe-
cially not in such a winter as this
past one. Nevertheless, it is moth
ing but the heat of the air that
keep it in a gaseous, and there
fore breathable state. When the
temperature of the air is down to
the thermometer zero it is still
hot, measured from absolute zero.
We don't think it is hot, because
we are physically constructed to
live in temperatures between, say,
zero and hundred above zero on
the thermometer scale.
To understand what liquid air
means, try to imagine beings con-
structed to live in a steam boiler,
breathing steam as we breathe
air. Then let the boiler cool off
until the steam condenses into
water. They would be frozen
solid. Their air would have be-
come liquid, and in that state
would be as cold to their senses as
liquid air is TO our senses.
An Illustration.
Or, take another illustration
which seems more extreme. Imag-
inc beings living in an atmosphere
composed Of the vapor OF iron. Let
that vapor be condensed into liquid
iron, such as we see in a blast fur
nace-that molten iron would be
to those creatures tremendously
cold. just as liquid air is tremend-
ously cold to us, and when it con-
densed into solid iron 1t would be
for them substantially what liquid
air frozen and compressed into
solid air would be for us.
We are simply living in a world
where a certain substance COM

ing average temperature and pres
sure to which 1t is subjected, to re-
main permanently in the gaseous
state. But that state Is no more
natural to air than Is the liquid or

these states according to circum-
stances.

atmosphere) lie in oceans Of incon-
ceivably solid liquid upon the solid
ly frozen surface. just as there are
orbs, like the sun. where the heat
Is so great that nothing whatever
lat least nothing known to us) is
in the liquid or solid state, but
where everything Is gaseous. But
In our world we can get air into
the liquid or solid state only by
very ingenious scientific tricks
with natures forces.
One step toward liquefying air Is
to get the heat out of It; another
is to subject it to great pressure.
No more is needed. These two
steps are combined in liquid air
machines, which first compress the
air and then abstract t. heat by
a series Of expansions. At tenn
perature under 220 degrees below
zero Fahrenheit, and at a pressure
OF about SO atmospheres tsay 5S6
pounds to the square inch), the in
visible air turns into a visible
liquid as clear as water and nearly
as heavy. This liquid can be
poured like water from one YES
sci to another. But unless 1t is i'm
previously covered 1t continually
wastes away. heavy white vapor
issuing from 1t and rolling In
snowy clouds over the floor.
This vapor Is formed by conden-
sation of the moisture in the air
of the room, which is cooled In
consequence Of the rapid absorp-
ton of heat caused by the expan-
sion Of the liquid air escaping from
the open vessel. It turns back to
gaseous air again as fast as it can
obtain enough heat from its sur
roundings to restore it to its for
mer volume.
In the liquid state it occupies
about 1-750th of the space that it
occupied when in the form Of ordi-
nary air. In proportion to its loss
of volume it has gained potential
energy, and if confined will exert
a pressure of about 10000 pounds
to the square inch. If heated above
the ordinary temperature OF the
air it's expansive force may become
many tons per square inch.
Pure LIQUID air is not explosive
if unconfned, but when mixed
with oily cotton waste, or with
cotton wool filled with coal dust,
il becomes a true explosive Of
great power, and has been used to
:: small extent in coal mines; but
it evaporates too readily, and is
subject to too many other disad-
vantages to be of much practical
use.
Thus, when efforts have been
made to utilize its expansive force
in driving engines it has been
found that it freezes the moisture
around the apparatus and coats it
with ice, and even plugs up with
ice its own points of exit.
