MILLION HOMES ALREADY BUILT
British Housing Policy Being Carried Out

London, Oct 25. Rs-The mil lionth house to be built under the British governments housing scheme, jnaugurated after the world war. has been completed and is ready for occupation.
 Government statistics show that England is becoming a nation of small property owners, each indi- vidual a small capitalist in his own right.
 More than 6oo,oo0 new houses will have been bought outright during the period from 1923 until the end of 1927 by middle-class and working class persons.
 A great ma iority of these houses have been obtained through the installment plan and building and loan societies, by bank mort gage, or by special facilities afford ed by speculative builders. British building and loan societies ad- vanced s2sO,750,ooo in 19c6 for the purchase of houses, helping 114,000 people to become the owners of their own property.
 Money invested in war savings certificates Is more than s3.2o0.- = 100000 nearly all from inc small capitalist.
 Present day motoring also offers an instance of the tendency to ac- quire property. There are in Eng land e50,00o privately owned mo- tor cars, mostly those of people with strictly moderate means.

ACCENTS KNEW
 0F AESTHETICS
Homer'S Poems Reveal Uses
 of Drugs

Chicago. Oct. o5. PAThe first Use of an anasthetic known to man probably was described in the writ ing of Homer.
 A study of the history of medical science. completed in the library of the Chicago branch of the Uni Nersity of Illinois medical school, reveals the passage:
 Presently she (Helen) cast n drug into the wine whereof they drank, a drug to lull all pain and anger and bring forgetfulness of every sorrow. Whose should drink draught thereof. when 1t is min- gled in the bowl, on that day he would let no tear fall on his cheeks, nor though his mother and his father died. not though men slew his brother or dear son with the sword before his face and his own eyes beheld it.
 The study traces the evolution of the use Of anesthetics from the days when a patient was tied to table. It was not until 1S42 that a. general anesthetic was used with any degree of success.
 Tn lS4l Dr. c. W. Long of Georgia conceived the idea that sulphuric ether might be used for surgical operations. A year later he carried out his idea success fully.
 It was shortly after that ". T. C. Morton made the discovery that teeth could be pulled painlessly while the patient was under the influence Of ether, and in i S4e he performed such an experiment with success.
 Tt vas so astounding,' says the history, that he prevailed upon the chief surgeon of the Massachusetts general hospital 10 allow him to demonstrate the anesthetic before clinic of eminent surgeons. and from then on its use became gen. erai."
 The first record Of local anes- thesia comes from the works of Plny, who related that the Egyp- 'ians applied 10 painful wounds a species Of rock brought from Mem phis, powdered and moistened with sour wine, which probably pro- duccd carbonc acid gas.
