1T IS nOLHing new I0F people TO
sell or lease mines, oil wells. or
natural gas, but 1t is something new
for people to deal in the void over
their roofs, the association points out
in a discussion of what you own
when you own piece Of real estate.
In New York city, miles Of rail.
road tracks are covered with hotel.
office buildings and streets. In Chi
cago, expenditures that bankers say
will total half billion dollars are
scheduled to be made In buildings
to be erected over the Illinois Cen
tral railroad tracks. In Cleveland.
a railroad terminal building occupies
certain site. An office building has
been erected on top of the terminal
by an entirely different owner and,
according to an announcement made
to newspapers at the time, was
leased to building company ait an
annual rental announced as $751;.
$50. The owners of the land, 1t was
explained, split up the property into
two zones, divided horizontally, the
top of the lower zone being in effect
the top Of the terminal ceiling. Title
to the lower zone was given by the
land owners to the terminal COM
pany, and a separate title for the
air rights above the lower zone was
retained by the owners.
Air Rights
This trend of using the air, that
is confidently expected to change
the appearance Of industrial centers
in the future, may also change the
perspective Of residential areas,
should home owners ever come into
conditions that make it advantage
Gus for them to exercise their full
ownership rights in the air above
their dwellings.
1t is conceivable to picture the
head Of family in crowded terri
tories at some time in the future
leasing the "air rights" over his
residence and his radish patch for
an aeroplane hangar or even for a
corner grocery store.
On what ownership Of land
means as to ownership beneath the
earth and above it the association
quotes Nathan William MacChes-
ney. of Chicago, its general coun-
sci.
In his volume. Principles of
Real Estate Law" General Mac

whatever, OF natural origin, is
growing upon it. The grant of
land win convey buildings and
fences without special mention, as
we'll as trees or herbage upon
mines and quarries in the ground
Minerals in their natural loca-
ton in the earth, are a part of The
land and the title to all lands and
minerals belongs to the owner of
the land unless the one has been
conveyed without the other. Min
erals may be transferred sepa-
rately but only by a. grant or
conveyance as prescribed for the
disposition of the soil itself A
conveyance Of the land, presump-
lively passes the minerals below

fled minerals. may be made the
subject of separate or distinct own

In a later paragraph OF the

same chapter he says further. "a
tenant may own the structures on
the soil. another person may own
the surface and third and fourth,
etc, the different minerals beneath
the surface. Thus, a distinct and
separate estate may be held by one
person in the mineral or minerals

holds an estate IN fee in the sur

even though the land owner owns

the property subject to this right

the property or interfere with the

''In some States" says General
MacChesney. ''the legislatures have
enacted laws permitting the use
Of airplanes over the lands of
property owners so long as the
flying is done at a height that
will not hurt the property OF the
land owner; but the law on this
subject is in a formative period
and it is altogether too early to
make any definite predictions as
to what will happen In this con.

Markham set down his cup with
a clatter, and regarded Vance mar
rowly.

"Fie on you! Answer my queS-

And if, when they had assem-
bled in your quarters, you should
propose a few hands of poker, they'd
probably accept, without thinking
the suggestion stranger"
Probably" said Markham, nom
plussed at Vance's amazing request.
"Cleaver and Spotswoode both play,
know; and Mannix doubtless
knows the game.
But why poker? Are you Seri-
Gus, or has your threatened demen-
tia already overtaken your"
"Oh, I'm deuced serious" Vance,
tone left no doubt as to the fact.
THE game Of poker, d. we see, is
the crux of the matter.
IT knew Cleaver was an old hand
at the game and Spotwoode, Of
course. played with Judge Redfern
last Monday night. So that gave
me basis for my plan. ManniX,
we'll assume, also plays"
He leaned forward, speaking
earnestly.
'Nine-tenths of poker, Markham,
is psychology; and if one under
stands the game, one can learn more
Of a mans inner nature at a poker
table in an hour than during a year S
casual association with him.
You rallied me once when 1 said
I could lead you to the prepetrator
OF any crime by examining the fac
tors of the crime itself.
But naturally I must know the
man to whom I am to lead you;
otherwise I cannot relate the pSy-
Geological indications of the crime
to the culprit'S nature.
I'm the present case, I know the
kind of man who committed the
crime; but I am not sufficiently &C
quainted with the suspects to point
out the guilty one.
However. after our game of poker,
I hope to be able to tell you who
planned and carried out the Can
ary'S murder"
Markham gazed at him in blank
establishment. He knew that Vance
played poker with amazing skill, and
that he possessed an uncanny knowl-
edge of the psychological elements
involved in the game; but he was
unprepared for the latter'S state
ment that he might be able to solve
the Odell murder by means of it.
Yet Vance had spoken with such
undoubted earnestness that Mark
ham was impressed.

I knew what was passing in his
mind almost as well as If he had
voiced his thoughts.
He was recalling the way in
which Vance had, in a former muir
der case, put his finger unerringly
on the guilty man by similar
process of psychological deduction.
And he was also telling himself
that, however incomphensible and
seemingly extravaganza Vance's re-
quests we're, there was always a
fundamentally sound reason behind
them.
Damn I'll" he muttered at last,
"the whole scheme seems idiotic.
And yet, If you really want a

that you can find the guilty man

harm"
But why do you include Spots

Really, v know. I haven't the
slightest notion-except, of course,
that he's one of my quartet. And

IF RHEUMATIC

Says We Must Keep Feet
Dry, Avoid Exposure,
Eat No Sweets.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid
exposure, keep feet dry, eat no
sweets of any kind for while,
drink lots of water, and above all
take a spoonful of Jad Salts occa-
sionalIy to help keep down uric and
toxic acids.
Rheumatism is caused by poison
toxins, called acids, which are gen.
Grated in the bowels and absorbed
into the blood. 1t is the function
Of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out IN
the urine. The pores OF the skin
are also a means Of freeing the
blood Of this impurity. In damp
and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the
kidneys to do double work; they be-
come weak and sluggish, and
fail to eliminate this poison, which
keeps accommodating and circulating
through the system. eventually set
ting in the joints and muscles,
causing stiffness, soreness and pain,
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge Of rheuma-
tism get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts; put q
tablespoonful in a glass of water
and drink before breakfast each
morning for a week This is helpful
to neutralize acidity, remove body
waste, also to stimulate the kid
neys; thus helping to rid the blood
Of these rheumatic poisons.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of grapes and

HARD
ARTERIES

Hardening arteries indicate high
blood pressure, which means that
the blood in the heart and blood
vessels is under too great a tension
"a condition which may end life
suddenly.
High blood pressure, indicated by
hard arteries. heart palpitation,
dizziness ard difficulty in breathing,
is the penalty of our abnormal
habits Of living. We place too
great a strain on the vital organs,
especially the liver. The liver be-
coming 'lirp" or sluggish, fails to
cleanse the blood Of the toxic pois-
ons formed in food waste. The
whole system then becomes toxic,
with stomach, kidneys, heart and
blood vessels affected.
1t is generally recognized that the
liver occasionally needs a little
help. There is nothing better for
this, as medical men know, than a
little OK gall. Ok gall has been
found to be a great stirnulant for
the liver. The genuine, pure OK
gall is to be had, dainty and taste
less, in the form of Dioxol tablets.
Each tablet represents 10 drops of
pure OK gall and costs less than Dc
at good druggists. To be sure of
getting the genuine, look for the
name Dioxol and picture of ox's
head on the package.
