BALTIMORE, Md. January g.
Plans for taking motion pictures of
the moons shadow advancing over
the surface of the earth during the
total eclipse on January "a from an
airplane were advanced last night by
DR.. Robert w. Wood, professor of eX-
perimental physics at Johns Hopkins
University.
DR.. Wood said he has made this
suggestion to flyers from Wright
Field. at Dayton. Ohio. and much in
terest is being shown in the proposal
by the authorities there. 1t is very
probable that Army flyers from Day
ton will make the experiment, he
said
Such a film of the phenomenon
would be of tremendous scientific
value, DIR. Wood pointed out. He
suggested that the pictures should be
taken from an altitude of from TO-
600 to $4,000 feet. This would make
possible a much better film than II

The bill has the unanimous support OF

Bill 266, has the equally warm support

man OF the committee having the bill
In charge in the Senate.
At the present time health regula.
lions as they relate TO plumbing, are
con trolled by various communities OF
he state. The state has no plumbing
code at all, and many of the smaller
towns and villages are without any
regulations whatever. This permits
nuisances which breed disease and en-
danger health.
The Davis bill, which is regarded
as an administration m easure,
although 1t has no political complex
ion, provides q series OF small fees
ranging from .25 cents to one dollar
for the inspection OF plumbing. These
sums provide for the expense OF
plum bling inspection which is to be
under the supervision OF the state
commissioner OF health.
The act will not prevent any man or
woman doing their own plumbing, so
long as it conforms to the regulations
OF the code.
Plumbers, however, must hold certi-
fcates OF competency, subject to the
approval OF the department of health,
for which certificates they will pay
s25 which sums are to be used In the
enforcement OF the plumbing code.
The bill operates as a Home Rule
measure. 1t does not create a large
group OF salaried employees to be at
taehed to the State payroll. The serv-
ice it gives the people OF West vir-
ginia will be through the city, village
and county health officials which they.
themselves, have chosen. The service
covers water supply. plumbing sewer
age, and sewage disposal. State and
county health authorities will give ad-
vice on these matters upon request.
The bill has had the cordial endorse
ment of William G. Groeniger, past
president of the American Society of
Sanitary Engineers. According to Mr..
Groeniger, construction prece dent
calls for a four inch stack in West Vir-
ginia building, while as matter of
scientific fact three inch stack Is bet
ter construction, gives better service
and is considerably cheaper Many
similar economies In plumbing can be
worked out under the proposed code"
he says, although the principal object
Is the improvement of health by pro
viding uniform regulations founded
upon basic principles and to bring
about health observance in communi
ties that now may be lax in such mat
ters. Health authorities generally are
anxious to see the code enacted into
law. 1t will place West Virginia In
line with the more progressive states
OF the union"

ance the best talent of the United

In a recent letter, Secretary Hoover
has this to say OF the principles en-
bodied In the West Virginia code:
Economical and sanitary plumbing
systems are vital necessity for
health in all settled communities and
are hardly less essential In rural
households. Although the American
people have expended hundreds OF mil
lions OF dollars for plumbing installa-
lions, the principles of their general
layout have never been thoroughly
understood. Actual practice has been
governed by opinions and guesswork,
often involving needless costly pre-
cautions which many families could
I'll afford The lack of generally recog-
nixed principles is responsible to a
certain extent for the contradictory
plumbing regulations in different To-
calities."

Humor-Saving Sense

The red, wrinkled eyelids of the
little old woman who sat at the
window dropped. Here eyelashes
quivered. Her lips trembled. While
Jessie stood beside her, patting her
bent shoulder and kissing the parch-
ment cheek, Gladys sat at the stool
at her feet, stroking her knee and
cooling to her as she had done when
a child. The middle aged BUSH
ness women were trying TO smile
but something seemed to rise in
their throats to suffocate them. Jes-
sizes last business trip had been in
terrupted by a telegram about the
feeble old mother. The life that
for ten years had been tenuous
seemed TO hang upon a thread Of
silk. That thread, so frail and
shining, had seemed about to part.
Jessie had left the business and
hurried across the continent as fast
as express trains could carry her.
Mothers delicate hold upon life
grew stronger as her faded eyes
turned upon Jessie kneeling at her
bedside. She had rallied. Jessie
had stayed as long as she dared.
The parting time again had come.
The little gray mother had not
enjoyed the summer at the beach
bungalow. The sea air had seemed
rude and changeful. The laughter
from the beach was strident. She
seemed 10 be shrinking from the
blows Of life.

1 fairs Of the Brown family.
Mother Brown, who is a confirm
ed invalid, was unusually feeble
this morning. She said she had
not slept well. She had been help
ing the girls to plan the family
moving for the autumn. Her daugh-
tiers, though they range in age from
Twenty-Five 70 forty-eight, are still
girls to her. That is the fond way
Of mothers.
They are moving their place Of
business eight blocks farther up
town. And since the apartment
house in which they have lived for
ten years is to be torn down they
must move 10 a suite that is newer
and smarter, but, she fears, not so
comfortable. IL is a time Of prog
ress but, to the weak, frightened
old woman, it seems time OF dis
ruption and ruin. Those plans OF
the evening before, punetuated by
her thin voiced suggestions, caused
a tumult in her nerves.
Now Jessie and Gladys, the two
eldest daughters, had put on their
hats, and flung on their searfs and
drawn on z 'ir gloves. The taxi
cab that was 70 take them 10 the
station had turned the corner. They
were ready 10 start on long bust
ness trips. Gladys would not re-
turn until Christmas. Jessie would
be gone for a year.

no bitter words to sweep away.
