CHICAGO. Aug. IS. (N.A.N A.
How to keep slim while riding the
airlines has suddenly become easy
for the pert little airline stewardesses
Quite unexpectedly, in the course Of
sober, scientific experiments being
carried on by Research Engineer Will
ford Davies at United Airlines head
quarters here, with high altitude
pressure tank. it was discovered that
girls who spent an hour in the tank
chamber to become accustomed tC
taking oxygen around 10000 feet
were emerging even more stream
lined than they went in. 1t seemed
to be case of what goes up must
come down.
The girls have to stay under l25
pounds (apiece). so there is rejoic-
ing in the ranks. A practically pain
less reducing recipe with loss of a
pound or two at time has them lin
ing up to get dates with Research
er Davies queer-looking machine.
The gadget works something like
this: You climb into the tank and sit
on the miniature ledge along its side.
A solid green cylinder. with dials and
handles at its top. lies across from
you. Connected with it are series
of rubber tubes. These go from the
cylinder through another, smaller
cylinder, in which a water-saturated
sponge provides humidity to Offset
the drying effect of the oxygen on
the experimenter's mouth. The tubes
come out of the humidifier and end
as little white pipe stems, which can
be held between the teeth. or. if
you're a lady. in what United has
nicknamed "lorgnette" that is held
daintily over the nose
Like a Hot Day.
The reducing trick comes at the
end. After you've been "up'-with-
out leaving the ground, of course
you are gradually let down. This
takes about a half hour, for safety's
sake, and, as body temperature doesn't
adjust as quickly as does the change
in pressure, you get all the sensations
of basking in a midsummer sun.
How does it work, and what is it
for?
Well. primarily. it is used to demon
strate how human beings react to
changes of pressure at varying alti-
tudes. The day Of really going up
stairs" Is facing all the airlines, and
each in its own way is getting ready

Preparing for Future.
All this has been very necessary
with the Boeing Stratoliner almost
ready for its flight tests and the Doug
las DC4 planned so that, when produc-
ton begins, pressure cabins will be
built in for buyers who want them.
The reason for it all lies not only in
possibilities for more speed. Deep air
is safe air-ships in deep water don't
hit rocks; neither do planes that fly
high collide with mountains. High
flying is also generally smoother flying,

BIDDERS WRANCLE
OVER SALE OF TAX
DELINQUENT LAND
BEACH AND CRIMMINS
PLACE DISPUTE IN
JUDGES HANDS L.

Ownership of tract of land on
the north edge of Redwood Falls
was in dispute at hearing be-
fore Judge A. B. Gislason in court
here Tuesday morning.
D. L. Crimmins and Alfred
Beach who occupies it, both claim
to have bought the lot at sale of
state lands forfeited for taxes in
the court house March 18.
County Auditor Ira R. Rogers,
the first witness called, testified
he heard no bids on the tract
and therefore made no sale as
auctioneer. The lot has been ap-
praised at $100. Crimmins claims
the lot as he laid $100 check on
the county auditors desk after
the sale.
Beach's claim is that he made
the first cash offer and made a
payment of $3.50, which was 10
per cent of his bid of $155. He re-
ceived a receipt.
Witnesses besides Rogers were
Alfred Beach Sr. and Alfred
Beach Jr., Mr.. Crimmins and AL
bert Swenson. A. r. A.. Laudon
was counsel for Crimmins, George
A. Barnes appeared for the coun-
ty and Beach was represented by

County To Be
Rernapped By
AirpIane Soon
COUNTY WAS FLOWN
IN EXPERIMENTAL
WORK 3 YEARS AGO

Redwood county will be "re-
flown" for aerial pictures in con-
nection with the AAA program
sometime this summer, county
soil conservation officials learned
this week.
The county was one of two in
the entire United States in which
aerial mapping was done in 1885
as an experiment. The 610 prints
picturing $50 square miles from
the air have been used in the
corn-hog office here since.
Many changes in field boundar-
les and the possibility of more ac-
curate photographs with new
equipment led AAA authorities
to include the county in this
years aero-mapping program.
Work will be carried out
through the summer and fall. AS
the county was one of the last to
be included in the project, it is
not expected that pictures will be
available for use in this years
program.
Planes engaged in the survey
will base at Mankato with sup
Elementary bases at Tracy, Alex
andria, ST. Cloud and Litchfield.
Mapping of 21,085 square miles,
largely in southern Minnesota
will be done by the Aero Explora-
ton company of Tulsa, Oklaho-
ma. Pictures will be made on a
scale of one inch to $50 feet.
When the survey was made
here three years ago, nearly two
weeks was required to finish the
mapping. With modern equip
ment, the county can be flown in
two days.
All nearby counties will also be
photographed.
