This morning he awakened as usual

His death was quiet and apparently
painless:

BLANCH WALSH AN INVENTOR.
Actress Patents ? Punctu-iess Pneu-
matte Automobile Tire.

New York, Jan. 24.-Blanche Walsh is
on the eve of becoming famous for the
second time. Not as an actress, for
while her nightly audiences at the As
the soul beneath the soil of her MOL
of Houston Street." there are waiting
thousands who will hail her latest
achievement with even greater enthusi-
asm The dramatic star has given the
world a punctureless tire, applied for a
patent thereon, and her invention will
probably, be available for all manner OIL
wheels that run on mother earth.
Two years ago Miss Walsh was so
route from Deming, New Mexico, to
play an engagement in Silver City, five
hours away. In the Mojave desert a
tire of her auto was ''winded," and she
was delayed for two maddening hours.
1t was then that she conceived the idea
of spring in place of air.
Every wheel that turns, said Miss
Walsh, who demonstrated the uses of
her wheel at her home, No 25O West
Forty fifth street, yesterday, must
have a cushion somewhere between the
body of the vehicle and the point of
contact In mine the cushion is brought
into direct communication with the
point of contact for the first time. This
makes punctures and blowouts impossi-
BILE. Flat wheels are out of the ques-
ton, as is sticking and shpping; the
speed of an auto or other Vehlcle is
increased 35 per cent; and the noise is
decreased by half. 1 don't pretend to
be mechanically gifted, and l had to
have my idea put into form. 1t is so
absolutely simple it seems strange it
has not been done before.
In the new wheel highly tempered
steel springs in the shape of circular
bands an inch wide ond two inches
greater in diameter than the rim in
which the spokes are set are placed in
side solid tire The construction as
Miss Walsh says, is marvelously sim
pie. The idea is applicable to all
wheels. and experts say it will revolu-
tionize present methods.

To one who has seen the house CAV
ell in the hands of Pringle. the smooth,
quiet and speedy, and Stubs, the ag-
gressive and rather awkward, the
present speaker of the house seems to
be fair average. He is neither speedy
nor aggressive, but he seems to have
an idea of what he wants to do, and
keeps his weather eye on the book of
parliamentary rules.
There are several men in the house
who have had more experience, and
know a lot more about the Marquis of
Gooseberry rules which are supposed
to govern the deliberations of that
body. Among them are Steve Bran
don, who sometimes ssfts as chairman
of the committee of the whole, and
drives things along at a 2:12 clip with

mailing the lobby to the rear wall. The
lobby does not mingle worth a pune
