Thé term “naturopath” Isn't to be found in dictionaries, so the District of Columbia commission on licensure t»> practice the healing arts made up its own definition. It naturally took quite a bit of study, and in Washington the practice must be confined within the defini tion. Here Is the commission’s offi cial definition: “Naturopathy in the practice of the healing art is the use of such physical force as air, light, water, vibration, heat, electricity, hydrotherapy, psycho therapy, dleti*s, or massage, but shall not Include palpating, analyz ing and adjusting the articulations of the spinal column, the adminis tration of drugs and medicine, sur gery or the application of X-rays or radium.”—Pathfinder Magazine. Curious Cockpit Country The “cockpit” country Is known only to those who have taken a West Indies cruise and not all of those. It means a trip to Jamaica and a Journey when there to Bala clava and the glades of the Black river, Jamaica's longest navigable stream, famous for Its dye woods and alligators. Between Appleton and Breadnut valley you will see a number of lovely waterfalls and at Ipswich, about ninety miles forte Kingston, the Cockpit country De gins, a land of conical limestone hills, banana-laden glades. It Is a region never fully explored and the Maroons had tlielr fastnesses here in the days of runaway negro ad ventures. Valuable Invention The autogiro was invented by Juan Cleva. In the autogiro there is a fuselage 15 feet long and an air-cooled Genet major engine of 100 horsepower. Two small wings have bent-up tips to Increase the lateral stability while In the air, and the ’‘windmill’’ has four blades which are set in motion by air thrown up to the horizontal propel ler by a deflector, maintained about the horizontal stabilizer, placed at the end of the fuselage. The power thus developed gives a ro tation of 130 r. p. m. to the vane, a speed which must be maintained be fore the plane takes off. That Mouse Ear Theory Long before phenology became a science, farmers discovered the ad vancement of the native vegetation in the spring furnished reliable guides to the best time for sow ing and planting crops. One old fashioned rule, probably derived from the Indians, was that corn should be planted when the leaf of the white oak was "the size of a mouse’s ear.” Several traditioual rules of this kind are current among farmers, and one of the tasks of the phenologists Is to check them up on the basis of actual statis tics.
