BOON FOR INVENTORS
Missourian Offers Factory Space
For Poor Mems Use.
NO CHARGES WILL BE MADE.

Absolute Privacy Assured to Those
Who Avail Themselves of This
chance-Must Be Interested, How
ever, In FIyine Machines.
Here's the man the poor inventor
has been looking for these many
moons. The poor inventor says: ''If
just had the money to rig up "a
plant, I'd show the world" etc, and
I the world rolls on without his won
derful machine ever being assembled.
This much sought for man lives in
Kansas City, NO., and has factory
over in Kansas City, Kan. He offers
the use of 5000 square feet of fac
tory space, in which absolute privacy
will be assured, to all scientifically
inclined men, free! The offer is made
preferably to men who are interested
or who will interest themselves in the
following problems:
The heavier than air flying machine.
A better combustion of gas to make
possible its more general use.
The generation of gas from Ignite
or slack coal. retaining the coke for
secondary usage.
A smoke consumer.
The compression Of air for more gen.
eral purposes.
A more economical method of han
ding water for deep well mining and
irrigation purposes.
A machine for transportation by wa
ter as well as by land-the automobile
boat.
A cheaper method of acquiring cleo
tricity for more general purposes.
A more economical method Of drill
ing deep wells.
Milton Mcmillan makes this offer.
He is well known manufacturer.
His factory, four story stone struc-
ture, is located across the state line.
He offers two entire floors of the build
Ing with heat, light and fuel. He asks
from the inventor who accepts his Of
fer nothing except that every effort
shall be put forth to realize the full
fillment of the unsolved problems. He
says that he will be amply repaid for
any trouble or any expense IL any one
of the above problems is solved.
Mr.. Mcmillan for the last twenty
nine years has been struggling with
inventions, and he understands the OBJ
stacles in the path of the man who
sets out to perfect some idea and has
no friends to help him carry on his
experiments. Mr.. Mcmillan said:
II long ago realized the disadvan-
tages that many a young man en-
counters for the lack Of some suitable
place Of secrecy In which to carry out
or execute his mechanical ideas. Any
man or woman who has an undevel-
oped idea or invention and who wants
sufficient floor space and secrecy for
perfecting the idea or mechanical de-
vice will be given the free use Of the
necessary space FOR a workshop AS
long as he or she cares to experiment.
1.-THE Wright brothers struggled for
twenty years before demonstrating the
practicability of their heavier than air
machine. Had some one allowed them
an extra room where they could have
worked in secrecy both inventors and
the world would doubtless have been
much earlier benefited by the inven-
ton. They were handicapped by pow
erty, like many others who have bright
ideas which, when perfected, would
be Of great benefit to the inventor and
the public"

Virtue,In Onions.

Onions are welliknown to be valua-
BILE as aperients, but much. of their me-
dicinal quality passes into the water
in which they are boiled, and so they
are best, says an authority, when in
corporated in vegetable stew Span
ish onions are best when an aperient
action is desired, but If they are eaten
to promote sleep the tiny ones that are
pulled from the garden in spring are
as powerful as those of larger growth.

made public by the Socialists indicates
that the movement has the Endorsement

IL is in charge Of committee headed by
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler. Of Columbia
University.
Letter IL Made Public.
The letter is. in part:
Il do not know whether or not you have
observed the headway socialism has been
making In the United States during the
past five years. but their vote at the cleo
tions has jumped from $500 20 $4,000,
