ing, he has arrived at the floor. The doors of the elevator automatically open, the parker runs out under the car, tows it on the elevator, which in turn carries it down to the ground floor, and delivers it ready to drive away Two cars can be handled by each elevator at one time.
 The electric parker itself is a small, rubber-tired, steel truck affair. equip ped with two motors, both of them re- versible and controlled remotely by the elevator man. He operates a four way lever switch. Pushing the lever to the left, the parker runs out on tracks suitably provided for it, to position underneath the car that is to be parked for the day or perchance that is to be taken down and delivered at the street level. The elevator man operates this lever switch by pulling it up. This causes the rack on the parker to raise up and engage the differen- tial axle housing.

Is he normal, abnormal or just average.
 No one knows the answers-yet. After perhaps 150,000,000 years of staggering upward from the twilight mind of the ape man, man cannot set down a reliable timetable of the first commands that flow through the brain of a newborn babe He can tell avia- tors the weathcr-condition they will encounter over the middle of the At lantic, but he does not know how long after birth a baby should move his tongue for the first time.
 Dr. Frederick Tilney, the great au- thority on neurology, is another ln- vestigator who believes that upon scien- titic answers to these questions depend the greater health and happiness of prodigals, misfits, weddings, failures, and criminals in modern society.
 Dr. Iilney is to direct the compila- ton of timetables showing the brain development of normal babies, sub normal babies, sick babies, babies born of healthy mothers, mothers suffering from any infectious disease from ton slitis to pneumonia, mothers who use alcohol, tobacco, bromides, babies born of mothers who have lived on a fatless diet and of mothers who have eaten all or more than their appetite calls for
 Checked against each other, the timetables are expected to show what effect the mothers health and habits have upon the brain of her child.
 "The most important part of our re- search, says Dr. Tilney, twill be to ob- tain definite standards both for normal and abnormal human behavior-to know exactly how a human should behave at certain date after birth. We shall be able to determine departures from the normal standard in children whose mother has suffered from some poisoning prior to childbirth. The

Sands

C INGING, muscial, or "barking" sand is the popular name of ccr-
 tain sands and gravels which produce a peculiar sound when trod- den upon, driven over with vehicle, shaken, or stirred with a stick The noise emitted is not really a singing sound. According to the United States Geological Survey, 1t is better de scribed as something between crunch and squeak. It is similar but not quite the same as the sound produced by snow when trodden upon or driven on in very cold weather. But it has, as rule, fairly definite pitch and a tone relatively pure, and therefore, while it is not a musical note, it is notwithstanding noticeably different from a mere noise.
 The phenomenon seems to have no relation to the composition of the water, for singing beaches are found on the shores of the sea, of salt water lakes, and of fresh water lakes. Nor can it be proved that the particular shape of the grains forming the sand and gravel is responsible. Some sing ing sand has been described as consist ing largely of sharp, angular grains, with few smoothly rounded particles, while some is said to consist largely of smoothly round, even, and well polish ed grain.

C CHEMISTS have chartcd the
 movements of the planets so ac-
 curately for hundreds of years into the future that, for instance, they know down to the minute when an eclipse will reach its totality. Subse- quent movements of the heavenly bodies have proved the accuracy of these astronomical timetables. In no less a degree of accuracy has science also recorded the tides for as much as thousand years into the future.
 Now science has undertaken far more difficult enterprise-probing the secrets of baby's brain to determine character at birth and to obtain fixed standard for human behavior.
 A baby's actions during the first few hours of life may yield clue to the infants future career. Symptoms of mental disease on the one hand, in dications of unusual strength of char acter on the other, may be detected by a keen observer. Napoleon's over- weening ambition showed itself clearly when he was a babe at the breast. So at least believes a German student of infant psychology, Dr. Wehmut, who sets forth the results of his investiga- tions in his latest book, "The Psycho- pathy of the New Born" Dr. Wehmut shows, with wonderful resources of ob- servation, how the five great mental maladies that determine all human character exists wholly formed in the newborn and appear in the very first acts of life.
 What is a baby's first action after birth? How long after birth does it take place?
 What is the second act, the third, the fourth? How many minutes old is he at each new movement? What does he do when he is a day old, a week, a month, two months, three, six. year?

THE "Poltergeist," according to
 Elliott O'Donnell, a noted author
 ty on this subject, is mischievous spook, credited with performing all manner of foolish and often alarming pranks, such as the upsetting of furnl- ture and the throwing about and hiding of various objects, apparently for no other reason than to startle and annoy. Now, although this mischieVous spirit, as may be gathered from its name, g compound of potter (rackety) and aeiSt (spirit)--is of German origin, 1t is by no means confined to Germany. The Poltergeist, in fact, is well known all over Europe.
 ''The Poltergest haunting says Mir. O'Donnell, that strikes me as one of the most startling and mysterious, occurred at farmhouse near Wem, in Shropshire. Briefly it was this:
 "One afternoon, when Mir. Hampson, the farmer, his wife and children and two young servants were about to have tea, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of the grate, and large saucepan of water that had been set on the fire fell with loud chatter on to the stone hearth.

blows forcefully upon his hand through nearly closed lips it has a cooling effect; but if he blows gently with the mouth open it has a warming effect. Moisture in ,he skin is responsible for this difference, according to the expla- nation science gives. In the first case the breath Is expelled so rapidly that it cools the skin by evapolating the moisture. while in the second case the skin comes in contact with the warm air without losing much of its moist ure.
 Heat, like time, is measured only by it's loss. If a person blows upon a thermometer instead of the skin the effect in both cases will be the same, or else reversed. because the instru- ment registers only the actual tempera- ture.
 The cooling effect of an electric fan is due to the fact that each puff of air absorbs heat and moisture as it passes over the skin. The fan, in reality, raises the temperature of a room by setting the air in rapid motion.

The Good Roads Move
ment Still Continues

The greatest field for future
progress in highway buildings
lies the in. provement and con-
struction of market and second
airy roads.
At present there is a decided
trend toward expansion of low
cost road construction in rural
districts as farm relief"
measure. Good roads have be-
come necessary to the farmer in
his commercial and social life.
The cow-trails and mud holes
that characterized rural roads
are disappearing. and serviceable
but inexpensive paved highways
are taking their place.
There is no end to the god
roads movement Thousands of
miles of pavement have been
constructed in the last few years
and the demand steadily in
creases. 1t is now generally rea-
lized that highway is not an
expense but an investment which
pays for itself m any times over

A Phenomenal Growth

According to the Department
Iof Commerce. the growth of the
electric industry during recent
years has been phenomenal. In
1902 the investment in the indus
try was about about half a billion
dollars, and only about two billion
in 1912. Between 1917 and 1924
it nearly doubled. and since 1924
has increased so per cent.
Electricity is used in about
20, 000.0 900 American homes, at
the rate of 500 killowatt hours
per customer annually. There
are now only sbou 2 600, 900 ur-
ban household within reach Of
the electric power but not con-
erected, and-tnis number is-rapid-
ly dwindling.
1t is shown that rates have
steadily decreased, as the indus.
try has progressed and extended
its service to a greater number
of customers. At the present
time the electric bill for the aver
age home is but a little over
$4,000 a year. The average
American household spends less
for electric light and power than
for candy and tobacco.
Progress in commercial power
developments has been made at
an equally fast pace. There is
now an average of over three

INDIAN OVEN FOUND BURIED AT
CIRCLE I RANCH NORTH OF CITY

Believed to be at least 1000
years old, an Indian oven was
found buried this week on the

The oven, perfectly formed and
in splendid condition, is four and
one half feet in depth, six feet
in diameter at the base, and the
walls are about eight inches thich.
It is made of adobe plaster and
on the bottom was found twelve
inches, of ashes. Also in the oven
were some Indian pottery and In

More ArizonanS
vaCationing At
Home This Year

More tourists and Arizonans
are spending their vacations in
Arizona than ever before, accord
ing to a check of auto camps,
made this last week by a repre-
sentative of the Arizona highway
publicity service. The service was
recently organized as a statewide
movement to encourage travel
over all Arizona highways and to
beautify the highways in so far
as possible without additional ex'
pense in upkeep.
Every state in the union, as well
as Mexico and British Columbia,
are represented by automobiles
daily entering the capital city
from four points of the compass.
All auto tourist camps report a
flourishing business, and this de-
spite the fact that many new
camps of this character have been
installed during the last II
months.
Increased Arizona highway ira
vel is attributed to two important
factors: (1) the increased mileage,
improved type and better main
tenance of state and fedora!
roads, and (2) the wide adwertis-
ing given Arizona's scenic routes
and points of interest by the
states chambers of commerce, au
to clubs and the Arizona 1ndust'
rial Congress.
