/ Near industrial centers with avail
able markets it is possible to sell
enough produce above the family
needs to pay taxes and insurance
on low-cost Homeland acre.
This is the Evansville, Indiana
experience. On the basis of this,
Ohio and Indiana retail lumber
dealers are featuring the Home
Land Program throughout that ter
ritory. The West is the second
of its application. A report on the
Evansville experiment, by Charles
Wolflin, its originator, in recent
issue of Wood Construction. organ
of the Ohio Association of Retail
Lumber Dealers, illustrates and
describes newly completed Home
Land houses ranging from "A low
cost of $3.50 to $4,000, the latter in
Guiding a poultry house and other
outbnildings. The problem this
project meets is stated by Mr.. Wolf
lin as follows:
In Evansville, which is a manu-
featuring city, many factory work
ers have the 90 per cent or more
necessary for an FILA loan, but
they are obviously not guaranteed
steady employment and regular
income. Consequently the banks
and FILA offices refuse to make
them home loans. Is there not some
thing patiently unfair when this class
of people is left out in the cold?
The same problem holds true
in the West Between the relief
group and the $1,000 per year group
there is a large number Of self
supporting families that should not
be left out in the cold, and are not
going to be left out in the cold by
the building industry. Western
Homes Foundation offers the Home
Land Program as a first step in
meeting their housing and living
needs"

The Killer


DICTURE the hospital operating
room of a century ago: hooks,
rings and pulleys cover the walls.
Operating tables have straps and
ropes to prevent patients from
ssattttiiFff44iing while receiving surgical
attention.
Anesthesia has not yet been in
vented. The man who needs an
operation must bear the excruciat-
ing pain while fully conscious.
The first man to develop a sue
cessful anesthetic was DR.. w. T. c..
Morton, a dentist. He had learned
about the pain-killing properties of
ether from watching medical stu
dents go on "ether jags,n where
they became dizzy and sometimes
even passed out .
After trying out ether success
fully on several of his denial pa
tents, Morton gave a public dem
onstration at Boston hospital in
1886 Before a crowded room of
skeptical doctors he administered
the ether to a patient, then stepped
aside for surgeon friend of his
to perform the operation.
A breathless silence fell over the
room as the surgeon poised his
cleaning sealpel and began to oper-
ate. There were no screams of
tortured anguish that doctors were
accustomed to hearing It seemed
almost like magic. Gentlemen. j"
said the surgeon as he finished
this is no humbug. I have seen
so m thing today which will
go round the world" The audience
broke out in thunderous applause.
So was completed the first opera
ton under an anesthetic. DR.. Nor
ton, its sponsor, had probably done
more than any other single man
in the history of the world to al
leviate misery and pain.

The Girl Scouts have spent many

Monday afternoon furniture was
moved in from the room occupied
by the girls last winter, and ar

Average Year for Icebergs.
There is usually one cutter in the
vicinity of Bermuda, another near
Nova Scotia and a third along the
Grand Banks of Newfoundland. The
normal activity of these vessels is
the ice PATROL aimed to protect
shipping against the icebergs that
drift into the North Atlantic Since
this patrol was inaugurated rs years
ago there has been no loss of life in
the North Atlantic because of ship
collision with ice. The forecast for
this summer was for 400 icebergs in
the North Atlantic. about an aver
age number
The cutters are furnished with bal
looms, each about Is feet in dame
ter, each equipped with radio
transmitter The released balloon
sends signals at intervals of several
seconds to receiving device aboard

ic form barometric pressure, tenn

are correlated for analysis, thus CIV

of northwestern Atlantic weather at

extend to July Il.
The first radio balloon sent up this
spring attained an altitude of $4,000
feet and reported a temperature
there of go degrees below zero,
Fahrenheit The balloons have a
theoretical elevation capacity of &c.
600 feet and in overland tests have
already reached ST 900 feet.
To Aid Island Forecasts.
The view of North Atlantic wealth
err conditions will facilitate weather
forecasting for continental North
America, as the high altitude find
ings can be correlated with ships
surface weather reports.
Test flights of the Pan-American
Airway clippers have demonstrated
the need for the high altitude wealth
er reports, and Gen Vladimir Kok-
khaki, Soviet transatlantic pilot who
recently flew from Moscow to the
St. Lawrence bay told the United
Press that the high altitude weather
reporting of all countries is notably
deficient.
Heretofore, high altitude data in
the North Atlantic have been avail
able only from the infrequent fights
of planes. hazardous over the fog
shrouded banks. The new balloons
cost about $50 each, less than the
expense of an airplane fight, and
are equipped with parachute to
ease the landing, so that at least
some Of them may eventually be re-
covered. The balloons are inflated
with helium.

of the eggs were shipped into will

distributed by pack trains This
years paintings were made in the
headwaters of the South Fork Of

japan and Great Britain have
agreed to negotiate their dispute
over the British concession at
Tientsin through diplomatic chan
neIs on the basis of demands ia
pan has formulated at Britains
request, it was announced today
at Tokyo.
Japan was understood 10 have
made the following demands Al
the basis Of its case:
Japan agrees to consider the
Tientsin dispute a local issue,
to be settled by diplomatic nego-
tiations without involving other
foreign problems.
Japan desires the surrender OF
L $4,000. 900 yuan (S6.04s,000) In
silver bullion held by Chinese
banks in the British concession
area.
o-Japan desires British coopera-
y ton with the flotation OF Jap
anese-sponsored currency issued by
the e-controlled occupation
regime in Northern China.
The effect II the agreement to
negotiate is to take the Tientsin
blockade dispute out OF the hands
of Japanese military commanders
on the scene and treat 1t as
separate diplomatic matter.

nan would be responsible for

Lens and property.
II was understood that Admiral
