"What has this to do with your in
vention?" asked Harris as Inventor
paused a moment.
81 have invented a suit of clothes
which can keep pace with our modern
climate said inventor. "Our race
has gone along for centuries without
making any scientific attempt to so
clothe itself as to conform to climatic
changes and conditions. In the win
terwe pile on enough clothing to keep
out the cold. This is all right so far
as it goes, and is fairly scientific
method of keeping comfortable. But
when it gets warm what do we do?
Take off our heavy clothes aud sub
stitute lighter ones. Now, that is no
way to do IL. Heat Is positive in its
action, but cold is not. You can over
come cold-which is but the absence
of heat-but the mere removal of
clothes, even If you go to the extreme
of removing the last garment, will not
make you comfortable when the ther-
mometer is in the ninetieS. You
must meet this problem with some
positive remedy and have found it.
Hereafter, by means of my auto-ther-
mo-frigid-summer-winter system of
clothing, life will be worth living,
even in New York"
What is the theory of your sys-
temp" asked Harris, who was becoming
interested.
81 have simply adapted some well
known principles, said Inventor, "and
combined them with recent discov-
cry of my own. The cold producing
qualities of anhydrous ammonia are
well known and understood. This
fluid is only another name for pure
ammonia and its rapid evaporatlve
powers when exposed to the air, pro-
duce intense cold by absorbing heat.
have succeeded in deodorizing am
monia. and have invented a cloth
which has wonderful affinity for
this fluid. Under my system a suit of
this material will be worn next to the
skin, and in a small pocket will con.
tain a vial Of anhydrous ammonia.
This will connect with dial or indi-
Gator shaped like watch, which can
be carried in the vest pocket. The
wearer can consult this and by the
movement of small Indicator adjust
his temperature to any required de-
gree. For people like Senator Till

aim in life is to ask the questions; is
this hot enough for you?' will be out
Of job, One suit of auto.thermal-
summer-winter clothes will last for
ten years and the annual expense for
ammonia will not exceed % cents.
"It is impossible to overestimate the
value of this invention" said Invent
or, ':and its effect on our national life
and morals, The saving in the wear
and tear due to profanity alone will
more than defray the original cost of

advent Of summer with perfect COM

he freeze to death?" asked Harris.
