Air Waves.

That aircraft actually navigate a
kind of invisible sea is revealed by a
series of motion pictures, the first of
their kiId ever taken, that show the
air in motion against the wings of an
airplane. Three miles of film were
used in making the photographs. and
they reveal the plane, instead of be-
ing continuously upheld by the air,
travelling from crest TO crest Of 8
series of waves; In more technical
words, the element of r%arefactiOn
which produces the lifting power of
an airplane is not constant, but is
exerted In intermittent moving air
waves, not unlike the waves of the
ocea These air waves have their
period of formation, followed by a col
lapse which, again like the sea, has Its
undertow; and, during more than a
quarter Of the time in flight, the air
flow created by the air screws has no
lifting power on the wings. To take
the pictures required a special camera
devised by the invention section of the
United States army.

Trance Treatment.

DR.. Thomas Pomeroy, a New York
physician, Is quite an unusual type of
doctor, with methods peculiar to him
self. When a patient presents him
self, Doctor POmeroy, instead of sub
jecting him to the conventional exam
ination, takes the patient by the hand,
and goes into a kind Of trance.
During this trance he analyses all
the patients symptoms before "com-
ing back to EARTH" and dictates a pre-
scription which Is taken down on the
spot by his niece, who has been his as
sistant for many years. He Uses moth
ing but herbs in treating his patients,
and generally is Inverse to surgery.
When the trance Is over Doctor Pom
erOy is seldom able to remember what
he said while 1t lasted, but the method
Is said to be SO unerring that some Of
the most successful medical men call
him ms second opinion In cases where
they are in doubt of the correctness
of their own diagnoses.

"Of course ! am, and / am still

fireplace, and there is a built-ln buffet
in the dining room. Bookcases are
built-in on either side Of the fireplace.
The kitchen is well-equipped with cup
boards and other ~convenieDces, and
each bedroom has q closet. AS this
house is built there Is no basement
under it, but any contractor can con-
struct one to take care Of the heating
plant and provide space for the stor-
age of vegetables. etc.
The floor plan that accompanies the
exterior view of this bungalow shows
how well the rooms are arranged for
comfort and for the convenience Of
the housekeeper. The living and din
ing rooms and Kitchen all are at the
front Of the house; the two bedrooms
are at the rear, and the bathroom adj
joins them. The living room opens out
on the front porch, while the dining
room is at the front of the house also.
All are good-sized rooms; larger than
the average small house contains.
Such n home as this should appeal
to the prospective builder who wants
n comfortable, convenient and attrac-
tive little house, that comparatively,
is not costly to build.
The first thing that a person who
wants to build should consider: What
sort of a home do l need? 1t is not
a wise policy to put a $1,000 building
on a $1,000 Tot neither is 1t good bust
ness to have the home far out Of pro-
portion to the value of the site. This
is because the time may come when 1t
is necessary to sell, and building a
house that is readily saleable makes
1t a good investment.
After the site is selected, before the
plan finally Is determined upon, 1t Is
well to consult the local architect, the
contractor who is expected to build the
house and the material dealer, who
will supply the lumber and other mate
rails that are to go into the building.
These men through education and ex-
p~erience are building specialists and
can give the prospective builder some
valuable advice about the plan and
the materials to be used.
The advantages of building a home.
rathed than buying n already con-
structed are many. The owner by

There r two good reasons why
bungalows are popular. One is the
air of coziness that the exterior gives,
and the other is that the rooms all
are on n floor, simplifying the work
of the housekeeper. Bungalows are
popular now, but in California a great
proportion of the homes built follow
this type Of architectural design.

CITY CAN BUY
AND SELL FOOD
Law Permits 1t, Meagher
Informs Mayor

No provision in the state laws OF
Washington prohibits the city of Sc
attic from purchasing a portion Of
the hundreds of millions of pounds
of smoked and canned meats of the
army surplus supply. and reselling
the foodstuffs at retail in the city.
This is the opinion now being pre-
pared by Assistant Corporation
Counsel George Meagher. at the re.
quest of Mayor Ole Hanson, who has
asked If the city may buy a part of
the supplies for consumption by Sc.
attic marketers who wish to combat
the high cost OF living.
Asks Information
When the proposal OF the war de.
partment to offer to sell to munich
palities a stock Of millions of pounds
OF smoked hams and bacon, canned
beef and other meats, was called To
the mayors attention, the question
was raised whether the statutes did
not limit the cities OF the state TO the
purchase and sale of perishables.
According to Assistant Corpora.
ton Counsel Meagher. that portion
of the law which says that munich.
palities may establish one or more
public markets and build cold stor-
age warehouses for the storage
of perishable meats, fruits and gro
ceries, adds TO the powers given the
city.
What course the city will pur-
sue toward the purchase of some OF
the army supplies has not been de-
termined.
