(UP) Inventions rang ing from a pair of spring braces to an lnvlslable ray for level crossings were on view at the International ex hibition of Inventions, organized by the Institute of Patentees and held at the Central hall. Westminster One machine, described as an aura graph, records the state of health. It measures human magnetism and is the Invention of Major Raymond Phillips. When a person goes near It a needle flickers. If the person is In good health. It swings violently, but If the person Is feeling seedy or nervous, the needle flickers only feebly. At the same time a line is traced on a moving tape. In that case, too. If the person Is in good health, a strong steady l'ne Is re corded, but if he is unwell the line Is broken. "It would appear, " Major Philips explained, "that everybody Is sur rounded by a magnetic field, and this instrument records the strength of the magnetism.. Some sensitive peo ple say they can see the magnetic field in the form of an aura of vary ing color. If a person Is well, the color Is bright, and, conversely. If the person is not well, the color Is patchy. That may explain why the needle swings more violently in the case of healthy person." PORTLiOAWLL DECREASED IN YEAR PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 2.

This whispered query was Will Hog crs first greeting for Wilson McCar thy, RFC director, when the two met in Washington, D. C. soon after formation of the corporation. The story la among a legacy of anecdotes Harvey Couch of the RFC inherited from his long friendship with the cowboy humorist. "While I was in Washington."

My secretary brought him around and ushered him In without ceremony. Work eased Immediately. He said. 'You know. I had a terrible time finding the R.P.C. but I happen ed to see some fellows leaving the hotel with a worried expression on their faces and portfolios under their arms. I Just followed them and they brought me to the right place.' He looked around the table and noticed Judc McCarthy. "'How's my old sheepherder friend?" Will asked. "I told him." continued Couch . "that McCarthy was about to bust the corporation lending money on livestock In the west. With that he sidled around to the judge and asktd in a low tone.
