RADIO WAVES MAY
COOK OUR MEALS
Experiments Seem to Justify
Prediction.

Washington.-New investigations IN
power vacuum tube give hope of pro-
ducing radio waves which will do the
family cooking, provide wireless illu-
mination for homes, reduce pain and
cure disease. according to DR.. Willis
r. Whitney, director of the General
Electric research laboratories.
Simplified mechanisms and reduc-
ton in the cost of producing large vol
umes of radio energy are problems
now facing solution.
With these problems disposed of,
control Of the new power Immediately
will open up lines of advance in indus
try and therapeutics hitherto closed
to science, Doctor Whitney stated.
In experimenting with the tube, it
was found that by placing wire over
from a radiating aerial, which was a
copper bar about 10 feet long, a sau-
sage in glass container suspended
from the bar was soon cooked thor
oughly. The tube from which this pow
er was produced was 2 feet long and
inches in diameter.
Different applications of this tube
have been under investigation. For
generations heat has been known to
be useful in alternating pain and cur
ing some diseases. Recently medical
research has indicated that fever tenn
peratures in the human body are de-
structive to certain disease germs.
The new vacuum tube produces this
heat, causing blood temperatures to
rise to 100 degrees Fahrenheit in Is
minutes.
Doctor Whitney stated that as yet
the high-power, short-wave tubes are
being used for experimental purposes
only and the task now before the in
vestigators is to bring them into prac-
teal usefulness at a reasonable cost
and discover their possibilities for
service to the world.

Swedes to Dry Up Ocean
Bay to Make Golf Course

Gothenburg, Sweden.-A golf course
on the bottom Of what used to be a
bay of the North sea will be con-
structed at Marstrand, an aristocratic
water resort on the Swedish west
coast, near Gothenburg. In the winter
it will be flooded and used as a skat-
ing rink.
Mafstrand is built on a rocky is
land, surmounted by an impressive
fortress, named Carlsten, which is still
in good shape though Of no military
value Land is scarce and no flat area
large enough for a golf course exists,
so the town authorities have decided
to shut off one of the shallow bays,
keep it dry with an electric pump and
then lay out green's for the golfers.
The bay is about $500 feet long
and some 1900 wide. At present the
chief sports at Marstrand are sailing
and tennis. The water is said to con-
tain more salt than any other in
Sweden and it was used regularly
every summer by the late Oscar II,
father of the present king.
Another project is to build an auto
mobile route to the mainland by link
ing several minor islands with cause
way and then run ferry across the
widest gap. At present there are no
motor cars at Marstrand and only one
horse. Sailboats, on the other hand,
are plentiful.

PETER MINUTES BUY
MAKES BIG PROFIT
New York Cost $24; Now
Worth Is Billions.

New York.-Old Peter Minuit's rem
estate investment, inspired by Dutch
thrift, has provided neat sum for

here to profit, says Tom Pettey in the
Chicago Tribune.
The land which Peter purchased for
60 guilders 1924 in later currency is
now assessed for tax purposes at $751;
4OS,6S33O7. Personal property and
other valuations of the holdings Of
those on the purchase bring the grand
total to $4,000, 729,247.
Old Peter long has gone to that
bourne where gold does not matter.
Gone, too, are the sellers Of that
choice bit of realty.
Rum Helped Seal Bargain.
For Peter brought with his guilders
and liberal noggins of Dutch rum
and Holland gin-the island Of Man
haitian, the heart-center of New York.
That was back in 1925! Now and then
an Indian bobs up to lay legal claim
that he is descendant Of those noble
red men who sold their heritage under
the influence of the bargain sealing
schnapps, but they can't make 1t stick
in court.
The realty holdings in Manhattan
Island increased $769,568,390 in as
sessed valuation during the year, but
this increase is nearly a half bill
lion below the increase of the previ-
GUS year.
Officials of the department of taxes
and assessments comparing this years
increase with last years increase of
$1,253, 702,357 said they had been COM
PEELED ito be conservative in making

Wall Street Gets Blame.
The descendants of the colonists Of
New Netherland-together with those
who Joined them later-suffered some
severe setbacks during the year for
which Wall Street-that narrow lane
which once wound through Dutch
pastures-must bear the blame
Personal property assessments fell
from $1,245, 839, 475 to $sO7, 161, 935.
That makes for groans when it Is
estimated that the tax rate will be
raised from 2,55 cents on the dollar
to 2.7l cents. ~ 1ss ~ tIfss ~ .7a.':'.ss

Camel Yields to Motor
Car in Hejaz Kingdom

Washington.-The camel has given
way to the automobile in the kingdom
of Hejaz, Nedji and dependencies.
Four years ago not an automobile
was to be seen in this little Arabian
monarchy. Today there are over L.
500 registered. according to the Com
merce department.
First, King Ibn Saud bought one. In
his travels about his domain he so far
outdistanced his retinue that his fol-
lowers were forced to buy machines
to keep up with him. From then on
the automobile was in great demand,
especially for long trips like the an
nual pilgrimage to Mecca.

Farmer Buys Wife for
SIS; Fails to Keep Her

Pistoja, Italy.-Farmer Luigi, who
is forty, became tired Of his wife
Of thirty-fve. He sold her to his
neighbor, Arturo, for the equivalent
of $5-a dozen bottles Of wine, three
pairs of rabbits, twenty-four hens and
two rooSters.
But neither Luigi nor Arturo had
counted on the mother-in-law. She
interfered, claiming that she had CIV
en- her daughter to Luigi and If he
did not want her she would have to
return to the parental roof In short,
Luigi's mother-in-law carried her
daughter back to her farm.
Now Arturo wants his payments
back. Luigi claims that it is not his
fault if his neighbor could not keep
the woman. The Pistoja courts will
have to decide.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Visits to Dentist.

These complementary letters which
hit into my Office, one intended to an
Swer the other, are ceaSing to surprise
me. Frequent coincidence becomes
mere incidence. Nevertheless, 1 offer
these two letters as very pertinent to
each other
Because am a dental nurse, am
sorry to find that so many mothers fail
TO teach children not to be afraid" be-
gins Mrs. Il. II. A. Mothers should
plan to make a child's introduction to
the dentist painless one. This may
be done early by taking him for exam
nation and cleaning of the teeth, and
establish the habit of repeating the
visit every six months.
Lying to the child Is the way of
failure. If child has confidence, one
can soothe him into a patient, even
stolcal. acceptance of pain. Another
important cause of fearing the dentist
is the careless discussion of dental aches
and pains in the presence of children.
Nine out of 10 who rebel fercely at
the visit are in state of terror because
OF these conversations heard In the
family circle.
Il became interested in your column,
Mrs. Eldred. about year ago. MY lit
tie fellow will be a year next month.
and some of my problems have been
answered by you. Do you realize that
mothers appreciation is just as sincere
whether they ever write or not?"
do realize that and, of course, there
is neither need nor possibility of all
readers writing to me. But letters do
help me to put more vim and vigor into
this job of parent education, especially
such pleasant one as yours
Now, here is the complementary let
ter:
IT have read your column with in
tereSt and often find helpful suggeS-
lions. Goodness knows / need them,
with my boys ranging in ages from
AZ to y years" confides Mrs. v. NJ. w.
Il want to tell you an experience I
had last week with my eldest. took
him to have his teeth cleaned and was
perfectly delighted with his behavior
He thought it was treat to go. l had
never told him not to cry or suggested
that there was any cause for fear. OF
course, teeth cleaning is not painful,
but neither is 1t pleasant. Now he will
go willingly next time and his younger
brother, who heard all about 1t, will
have no fear"
These are good attitudes to assume
toward both dentists and doctors, who
are often used for DOGGY" men with
disastrous results. II there Is q pain
imminent, it is q mistake to lie about
it. 1t is better to say it will probably
hurt a little than to say 1t won't and
then have the poor child discover that
there is a big pain attached. If one
analyses the sensation of ordinary
grinding of teeth as somewhat of q
'tickliSh" one and tells the child that
it makes his teeth tickle, it will give
him a far pleaSanter viewpoint. Choose
a dentist who likes children and whose
manner allays the childS fear of the
whole procedure.

! July a. 1865-while a large num-
! Der of applications for pardons from
| persons in the Southern States con-
| tinue to be received at the White House
| President Andrew Johnson permitted it
| to become known today that he is not
! acting upon any such applications from
persons who took prominent parts in
the late Confederate government or the
| Confedarte army.
| On the other hand. however. about
| rs pardons were granted by President
Johnson today to persons whose prop
| erty is not equal to $4,000. All of these
! pardonS were recommended by the Gov
! ernorS OF the States in which the APP
| plicantS reside, and none of the per-
sons pardoned is of any prominence,
according to information made public
at the White House.
The Union volunteer troops continue
| to leave here in large bodies and small
groups The 10th Pennsylvania Regi-
ment, numbered about 500 men, under
! the command of Lieut. Col. Miles left
! Washington today for a rendezvous in
| their own State, where they will be
mustered out of the service.
| 1t was announced today that the
z ,artermaSter's Department of the
Army will soon offer at a public sale
at the ambulance park, corner of Eight
zenith and N streets about TOO Govern
ment ambulances. Nearly all of them
are declared to be in ''serviceable con-
, dition."
Since the close of the War Between
! the States the business of the United
States Patent Office has greatly in
| creased. 1t was stated officially today
that the number of patents now being
granted will average more than so each
week, with every prospect of the num-
Der increasing as time goes on. Hon.
D. P. Holloway. who yesterday resigned
as commissioner of patents, is still on
duty at that Office today He is ex-
pected to remain at the post until his
i successor is chosen and takes Office.
The board of examination for officers
of the Subsistence Department of the
Army for the second district has been
dissolved. This board, it was announced
today, has been in session in Washing
ton, Baltimore and Philadelphia since
December l, 1884, and has examined
more officers than all other similar
boards combined. The members of the
board were Lieut.. Col. G. H. Wood
Lieut.. Col. j. G. Crane and Capt S. C.
Green, all of whom have been ordered
to other stations.

"Pie, often foolishly abused, is a
good creature at the right time and in

to resolution that they could not trust

Great astronomers agree that pie
sensibly eaten is not harmful. But, like

Brush lInaard

by careful attention to diet and daily
exposure to the direct rays of the sun,
Skins which are inclined to break out
in pimpleS should be exposed to direct
sunshine from 10 to Is minutes each
day. Such treatment tones up the sys-
tenn in general, and in many cases has
entirely cleared the skin of such dis
f1gurements as blackheads and pimples.
Before exposing the skin to the sun,
some special attention should be given
to these blemiSheS. Touch each pim-
pie or large blackhead with an anti
septic and then gently press out the pus
or blackhead, being careful not to
bruise the skin. Then battle for several
minutes in warm boric acid solution,
which is made by disSolving one tea
spoonful OF bOric acid in one pint of
boiling water. After this treatment,
take sun BATH exposing the affected
parts to the direct rays of the sun for
from 5 to 20 minutes. This may be re-
peated every day or every other day
for several weeks. The tanning and mild
| sunburn combined with the local anti
septic measures are very helpful and
healing to this type of skin trouble.
Many women find that their hair
| becomes more oily in Summertime
| and that more frequent shampooS are
| necessary. Sunshine will be found one
OF the best curatiVes for this cOndi-
| ton. During the Summer the hair
needs more brushing and cOmbing than
during the Winter months. Much OF
the brushing and combing should be
| done out of doors and the hair should
be brushed upward SO that the air and
sunlight will penetrate to the scalp. II
possible, let the hair have an air bath
lasting from half hour to an hour
every day. When the sun is not toe
strong, have the hair and scalp exposed
to its direct rays for several minutes
every day. as its tonic effect will do
much toward toning up the too active
| oil glands.
While oily, damp hair needs sunshine
1t must be remembered that leaving
the hair exposed 20 the strong direct
rays OF the sun too loEe has the effect
OF fading and cOalScIs!ng the hair
Spending hours In he pr0liing sun
without a parasol or shade hat Is
neither comfortable nor particularly
beneficial. But daily sun bath uhe
time gradually being increased from
minutes To 20 or 80 mi3utes), is most
beneficial TO ones general health and Ii
one OF the very best ways of curing such
beauty blemishes as sallow skin, pim-
pies, blackheads, oily compilations and
hair, dandrufT and Scsnty hair.
