big INVENTORS
BUSY WITH TIRES
WESTINGHOUSE PERFEcTs Nov
Ell AIR SPRING FOR AUTOS
AND EDISON ANNoUNc-
Es DEVICE.

1t is a strange coincidence that upon
the day the announcement was made
that George Westinghouse had per-
fected an air spring for use on auto
mobiles, by the use OF which the pneu-
matte tire may be discarded, there also
came private but authentic announce
ment that under the supervision Of
Edison there has been perfected an
automobile pneumatic tire which is re-
garded as immune from any pmcture
1t is practically ipdestructibe until
the rubber itself wears out How long
Mr.. Edison's subordinates have been
working on this tire is not known,
nor is there any authoritative report
Of the manner in which they have
made the pneumatic tire immune from
puncture.
Possibly there might have been an
earlier. announcement of the success
Of the experiment at. the Edison lab
oratorles had not Mr. Edison and al
most all OF his men been busily -occu
pied in completing a large order from
Europe for storage batteries.
First Announcement Premature.
In midsummer of last year there was
published a statement that Mr.. West
inghouse had invented an air spring
apparatus which would take the place
sensation among automobile manufac-
turers partly because all manufactur-
ers have learned that Mr.. Westing-
house never let's an announcement of
his inventions be made until he is as
sured Of success.
This announcement, however. was
prematurely made, somewhat to Mr..
Westinghouse annoyance In con-
versation i'm July of last year he said
that he was not the inventor of the
air spring That was the achieve
ment of a clergyman and a mechanic
living at Troy, N. Y. They brought
the apparatus to him i'm the hope he
could suggest some manner of per-
fectng it. He discovered the defect
in the apparatus and at once recog-
nized the commercial value of the
fundamental principle of the apparat-
us as it had been brought to him in
crude form by the inventor.
At that time Mr. Westinghouse was
much occupied with other important
matters. He said, however. that at
the first convenient opportunity he
should take this air spring up, work
at it, perfect it if possible, and sub
nit it to exhaustive tests. first of all
upon his own automobile.
Causes Exhaustive Investigation.
In order to satisfy himself Of the
commercial value which an air spring
might have if it could be successfully
applied to an automobile. Mr.. West
inghouse caused an exhaustive inves-
tigation to be made of the up-kecp
of automobiles for a single year in the
United States. u,
This showed that the average up
keep represented a payment in the
year 19O9-191O of about $3O0.OOO,OO0,
including chauffeurs' wages. one of
the largest of the items was the up
keep cost of tires. The figures were
we'll up in the millions.
The reports satisfied Mr.. Westing-
house that if an apparatus could be
devised which would eliminate the
pneumatic tire it could be manufac-
tured at commercial advantage pro-
vided the cost of the apparatus were
not too great.
Now it is announced that either at
Pittsburg or somewhere in New York
state a plant for the manufacture of

Just why the masculine element
should grow so fervid over divided

that a deep, soul-rendering prejudice
excites him to apply TO yard or two
of cloth, sewed together with conven'
tional thread and fastened with sim
pie buttons, such epithets as immor-
al, unohaste. hideous, vulgar, insult
able and ridiculously extreme.

four accepted requirements of correct

IN communities he adopted a simple
sack with three holes In it, one fer
his head and two for mhis arms.
The bag was decent and comfort
able, but il lacked the adjoining quail
tiles that man insisted on having. So
the Egyptian tied a. volumihous ash
around his waist and trimmed the
neck and the bottom of the skirt with
a fancy pattern. And the dandy OF

know that Chinaman wears a petit

is not called down for aping manniSh

sible for originating the idea Of the

petticoat breeches into vogue. Fig

shirt hanging out over them. Could
any costume combine the four essen

gree? The dainty little bows on the
larger bows of the shoes take my eye

From the Greek and Roman days
