OWNER CONTROLS SPEED.

An Ingenious Automobile Device That
Gives Remarkable Service.
AT last the owner of a car may be
superior to his chauffeur. He may not
be at the steering wheel and yet may
control the speed of the automobile.
He can sit comfortably in a tonneau
or in the rear seat of a limousine and
yet regulate the running Of the ma
chine. Like the captain of q ship, he
may actually govern, and the chauf-
feur will be nothing more than the
pilot. This revolution is brought
about by a contrivance perfected by
Joseph w. Jones of New York city.
says the New York Herald.
BY the use Of this device any one in
the tonneau or on the rear seat Of a
car is enabled to have positive control
of the cars speed. He does this
through the simple operation of an
electrical switch having five or more
points of contact representing circuits.
If the owner desires his car not to
exceed the ten mile limit he throws
his switch to the ten mile contact.
When the speed indicator shows the
ten mile speed the spark is immedi-
ately cut off, and it is impossible for
the car to reach a higher speed. The
effect will be the same when the con-
troller is set at fifteen, twenty, twen-
ty-f1ve or thirty miles.
Drivers with insane desires to
"scorch" or hit it up" at sixty per"
through crowded thoroughfares will
not necessarily be benefited by the
new invention. but this class is in the
minority, and the chances are that the
device will win favor with the law
abiding classes. Not only may the
owner regulate the speed while he is
in the car, but he may set and lock
the controlling device at any speed he
desires when he leaves the car to the
mercy of the chauffeur. A governor
set at ten miles will be Il positive dis
courager of 10y riding by chauffeurs.
The automatic speed control govern
or not only will be invaluable to the
owner, but it is calculated to be of
benefit to the driver as well. If the
latter is alone and wishes to relieve
himself Of the anxiety Of watching the
speed indicator constantly for the pur-
pose of keeping within the legal rate.
before starting he car set the switch
at fifteen miles or twenty miles and
feel comfortable in the knowledge that
there need be no fear of arrest.

Stomach troubles are very common in
the summer time and you should not
only be very careful about what you eat
just now, but more than this, you should
be careful not to allow your stomach to
become disordered, and when the
stomach goes wrong take Kodol. This
is the best known preparation that is
offered to the people today for dyspepsia
or indigestion or any stomach trouble.
Kodol digests all foods. 1t is pleasant

mally accepted the appointment OF As
sistant Secretary of the Navy and will
start tonight TO take up his new duties
in Washington.
Mr.. Satterlee said that he was de-
lighted at the appointment, which had
been made to him in personal inter
view with President Roosevelt few days
ago. Tho President said that as the
new Secretary Of the Navy, Mr. New
berry, was a business man he thought
it would he best for the service to have
a man OF Mr. Satterlee's fine legal tai
ent in the department, MIR. Satterlee
mas had some small experience in naval
affairs, having served during the Span

At that time the young lawyer was an
officer In the New York Naval Militia.
The new assistant secretary began
his career as reporter on the New

working as reporter he studied law
and was admitted to the bar. lie had
only his own abilities to aid him in his

had made a name for himself as a
young man who had mastered the in
tricaces OF corporation law. and dis
played unusual skill IN handling difii-
cult cases.
It was due largely to the energies Of
MIR. SatterIee that the knickerbocker

of the knickcrbo"ksr directorate and
