utilizing these great natural energies
for the production of light, heat and
power.
A traction pillow run by wind power
has been invented by H. M. Fletcher,
of Plainview, Tex. Some years ago
he began experimenting with wind
power for operating plows and other
agricultural machinery. He now
claims to have perfected a mechanism
which makes it possible to put the
wind at work in a practical way on
the farm. Seated on his "wind-plow"
he made a trip of 70 miles in the vi
cicity Of his home with the wind as
the only motive power.
The winds r usually strong and
steady in the Texas panhandle"
where Mr.. Fletcher lives, so that his
machine is especially we'll adapted for
use in that section. By means of fans
ingeniously adjusted, and so arranged
as to resemble the wheel of an ordi-
nary windmill, he can guide his ma
chine in any direction he wishes ir-
AOopCSIlfC vi LuS QudILCI lIOR1 WHICH
the wind happens to be blowing. His
early experiments convinced him that
the problem of lost motion was the
one which presented the most diff cult
features, but he obviated that be de-
vising a special kind of gearing by
which the outfit is moved rapidly and
with sufficient power to cut a 1O-inch
furrow, even though the wind force
may be comparatively small.
1t is said that Fletcher's neighbors
gathered about him while he worked
on his pillow and laughed at him, Just
as Noah's neighbors did when he was
building the ark. But like Noah he
kept on with the work and followed
the plan outlined until he attained
success.
That he was successful is shown by
an account which says that no greater
wind pressure is necessary for oper-
ating this pillow than is necessary for
flying a kite.

SWEARS AT HIM, NOT BY HIM
Atlanta Woman Explains Fine Dis
tinction in Alimony Case
TO the Court.

Atlanta. Ga.-Mrs. Grace Keefer,
formerly Mrs. Grace Macy, testified
in suing Darrell II. Keefer, a lawyer,
for alimony and attorneys fees, that
she drinks. smokes and swears.
Swearing is commonplace. Nearly
everybody does It." she said. "And
BESIDES" she added, there is no harm
in swearing at anybody or anything.
The Bible itself says only that you
must not swear by anything. 1t says
nothing about swearing at people,"
Mrs. Keefer declared, however, that
she did not swear at her husband ex-
cept when he started swearing at her.
He set the fashion," she said.
AS to drinking, Mrs. Keefer declared
that she had always had wine on her
table. but was never intoxicated ex-
cept when her husband brought home
cocktails which were doped." She
formed the cigarette habit, she said,
through Mr.. Keefer's example.
Judge Ellis declined to grant all
mony, saying he would leave the
mess" as it was.

We were watching a gang of rail

carry the rail to the side Of the car.
Then. at 2 word from the boss, all the
men lifted the iron together, and with
one synchronized swapping Of their
muscles tossed it aloft and dropped
it on the platform of the car. 1t was

IN COLOR COMBINATION
NEW MILLINERY HAS A CHARM
OF ITS OWN.
Small Hat ls Most In Favo-For
Trimmings, Feathers and Ribbon
Are Preferred Illustration
Shows Popular Design.

There is much to be said in favor of
the new millinery, for, although many,
perhaps the majority Of hats seem al
most ridiculous in their eccentricities,
as they are viewed from their pedes-
tails in the glass cases of the shops,
they are certainly picturesque and
conservative enough when properly
adjusted atop of the head.
The new hats show the interesting
color combinations sc fashionable in
gowns. Many models have either the
crown and brim of different colors, not
to mention different fabrics also, or
else the crown and brim are n Of
color with an under facing that is in
strong contrast.
Almost without exception the hats
are small, with close-itting crown and
brims-if there are brims-that hug
with feathers and ribbons in the lead.
Most of the dressy models are
planned to give extra height, and the
result is achieved through the trim
mings, as in the hat here sketched
with it's large mount of black plum
age toward the rear The hat itself
is one of the new "~fan-tailed" shapes
with a close cap" crown slightly
gathered, and a narrow poke brim that
increases in width at the back, where
it is turned abruptly up against the
crown, allowing a glimpse of the Golf.

veloped in black and white. The
