DR.. Thomas Pomeroy, 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
nation, takes the patient by the hand
and goes into kind Of trance.
During this trance he analyses all
the patients symptoms before "com-
ing back to earth" and dictates pre-
scription which is taken down on the
spot by his niece, who has been ais as
sistant for many years. He uSeh moth
ing but herbs in treating his patients,
and generally is averse to surgery.
When the trance is over Doctor POM
eroy is seldom able TO remember what
he said while it lasted, but the method
is said to be so unerring that some OF
the most successful medical men call
him as second opinion in cases Wnere
they are in doubt of the correctness
Of their own diagnoses.

That aircraft actually navigate a
kind Of invisible sea is revealed by a
series of motion pictures, the first of
their kind 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 a
series Of waves; in more technical
words, the element Of rarefacti0n
which produces the lifting power of
an airpIane is not constant, but is
exerted in intermittent moving air
waves, not unlike the waves of the
ocean. These air waves have their
period of formation, followed by col
lapse which. again like the sea, has its
undertow; and, during more than q
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.

Automobile engineers in their new.

have invaded the field Of surgery to
obtain an instrument which viii aid
them.
The stethoscope is the instrument
which has found it's way into the
automobile industry.
It Is being utilized In the final test
department of numerous motor car
factories.
The motor of nearly every car is to-
day subjected to the "stethOscOpe
test" before the car is permitted to
leave the factory. In the same man-
ner that the physician employs this
instrument in examining the heart
the power plant-Of patient, for
"murmurs," the expert tester exam
ines the power plant of the modern
automobile.
With the ends OF the stethoscope
tubes in his ears, the mechanic ''goes
overs the motor with precision. Just
as the doctor oftentimes puts the per
son being examined through certain
physical exercises, the motor is put
through its various PAGES and speeds,
the tester meanwhile sounding it out
with his instrument.
If the results of the examination
are not absolutely satisfactory, the
tester diagnoses the trouble and rec
ommends the remedy.
The stethoscope tests are conduct
ed in what are known as silent rooms.
These rooms, though in the heart of
the factory, are isolated in such q
manner as to be practically sound
proof. There, with the aid Of the
stethoscope, the trained ear of the
mechanic can detect the slightest
unnatural sound in a motor.

ROPE is GOOD SUBSTITUTE
Some Emergency Device Is Often Nee
essary After Shower to Prevent
Car SIciddlng.

A summer shower occasionally
makes 1t necessary for the driver of a
passenger automobile or truck to use
some emergency device TO prevent the
skidding and slipping of the wheels.
At such a time 1t always happens that
the tire chains are In the garage and
some makeshift has to be provided.
One tire company suggests that in
such an emergency a rope wrapped
around the tire at intervals win give
the traction necessary and win do even
less injury to the tires than chains.
The rope should be reeved through
the spokes and tied securely. =

If the male members of the family
will place a three-way brush conven-
iently on the porch and use 1t to clean
the mud from their shoes before they
enter the house, they can save cOnsid-
cradle work for the housewife. This
mud remover is inexpensive and can
be made at home from three scrub

arranged, one at the bottom and the
other two at the sides, in such way
that the foot can be drawn backward
and forward through the device so
that the dirt and mud viii be re-

size, with its ends removed, makes
good foundation onto the sides. Of

caution being that the side brushes
should be close enough together to
GAUGE good friction on the shoe as it
is drawn between them. Because of
the friction taking place the device
should be fastened securely to the
doorstep or other firm foundation. Il

Change your tires from wheel to
wheel.
Glance both ways on each cross
street, and If you're not on the main
thoroughfare slow down before you
cross.
Do not fail to test your battery with
a hydrometer every week. A reading
of 1,150 to 1,175 shows that battery is
discharged.
Springs are easily fabricated by
lacking up the body of car and sep
arating the leaves with serew-driver

.
Avoid aimless and unnecessary use
of cars; do a number of errands in one
trip; carry purchases home in the car
to reduce deliveries by the stores.
When brakes squeak it is usually
due to dirt forced into the lining fabric
when pressed against the drum. Often
this dirt can be washed out with kero-
sene.
When putting on new tires, where
all are the same size, put them on
the rear wheels and the half-worn ones
on the front wheels-they win last
longer.
IF gears or differential become noisy
a temporary relief may be obtained by
using heavier oil or grease, but this
trouble comes back as the lubricant
gets low.

Stop when the street car ahead Of

pressed lightly, it should dent easily
and spring back to the level instead
of refusing to be moved or remaining
permanently dented.

Sailing should be sufficient, yet not es-
