GREAT INVENTION BY
lEAvENWORTH GENIUS
Will Prove a Boon to Auto Enthusiasts
No More Stopping to Fix Punctured
or Otherwise Disabled Tires

A mechanical genius whose identity
we are not permitted, for obvious rea-
sons, to make public at this time, has
for some time been working on an in
vention that will obviate the necessity
Of stopping to repair punctures or other
wheel troubles while out on the road.
He says stopping to repair tires is
one of the most vexatious and bother
some troubles with which the owner OF
a three thousand dollar machine has to
contend.
In the event anything goes wrong
with a wheel or tire, unless he is near
his journeys end, he can, with his in
vention, shift the weight Of the ma
chine on the three sound wheels, re-
move the injured one, make such re-
pairs as may be necessary and replace
it, adjust the balance again and his
auto is as roadworthy as when it was
first taken out Of the shop. He says if
two wheels become disabled at the
same time it will be necessary to stop,
of course. Tho, he says, two wheels
becoming disabled at the same time is
highly improbable, or at least rare.
And it is not improbable, if front and
hind wheel becomes disabled, with his
invention it will be possible to preserve
a balance and keep going on the other
two until repairs can be made. This
might necessitate a small gyroscopic
attachment.
His invention, he figures, will add
about a thousand dollars to the initial
cost Of a machine. But, he says, not
without a show of shrewd business
acumen, What does the man who can
afford four or five thousand dollar ma
chine care about additional cost when,
protected with one of his anti-wheel-
trouble attachments he can pass less
fortunate owner who has had to stop to
fix his tires. That's one of the plea
sures of autoing. For certain class
of people autos are getting too common
anyway, and need something new to
keep up interest in the sport"
He says some people are skeptical
about the possibility of his invention,
and asks, was not the telephone, the
flying machine and many other modern
inventions received with the same in
credulous shake Of the head. He is a
brave man who will assert that anything
is impossible, except, perhaps, the
growing of four year old apple tree in
one year.
He says he expects to have his in
vention ready to put on all the 1914
machines, when the man with 1913
model will be as far in the rear of the
van of progress as the man with one
horse shay.

DON'T KNOW THEY
HAVE APPENDICITIS

Many Leavenworth people who
have chronic appendicitis, which is
not very painful have doctored for
years for gas on the stomach, sour
stomach or constipation. E. H. King

try simple buckthorn bark, glycerine,
etc., as compounded in Adler-i-ka, the
German appendicitis remedy, they will
be surprised at the QUICK benefit. A
SINGLE DOSE relieve these troubles

That cities of the frst-class in this
State have the right, as a function OF
their police powers, to require the
printing Of the net weight or measure
on the outside of packages containing
goods sold, is the recent decision OF
the State Supreme Court. This ruling
reverses that of the Superior court in
Seattle in a test case tried out there.
The Supreme Court holds that the
city has as much right to regulate the
sale as it has to determine the purity
of goods on the market or to examine
the scales and measures used in the
sale of merchandise.

With the big Alaska excursion more
than two months away, it is reported
that more than half Of the required
reservations have been made and that
when the sailing is made from Seattle
every bit of available accommodation
will be engaged. The success of the
5000 mile trip to the northland is
therefore assured. That this event
will mean more to Alaska than any
thing that has ever been done in its
behalf is apparent when it is seen that
the itinerary of the trip will cover very
nearly every accessible portion of
Alaska. A score OF the publishers OF
big eastern newspapers plan to take
the journey, and the knowledge they
acquire will result in more sympa-
thetic understanding Of the needs Of
Alaska among the people of the East.

WELL WORTHY OF MONUMENT
Project on Foot to Erect Memorial to
Edwin 1. Drake, Who Sunk the
First OH Well.

Fifty-four years ago, or, to be exact.
on August 81 1859, oil was struck In
western Pennsylvania at spot
which bore the picturesque name OF
Pithole, now deserted village, but
at one time the scene of epoch-mak.
ing activities.
The man who discovered oil by Dor
ing for 1t was a picturesque charac.
ter, of an adventurous disposition, by
the name OF Edwin l.. Drake, widely
known under the title of Colonel. He
had observed traces OF oil on the sur
face Of stream near Titusville and
he resolved to sink well to secure
this commodity In larger quantities
and to replace the crude methods
which the Indians OF western Penn
sylvania employed. They immersed
blankets to secure the lubricant,
more, however. on account Of the
medicinal qualities Of the crude oil
than for Its commercial values and
uses
1t Is proposed by the people Of
the oil regions to erect a monument
to Drake to mark the spot where the
first oil we'll was sunk. A Drake
memorial museum has already been
established at Titusyille
The history Of the early production
Of oil in the oil regions Of western
Pennsylvania reads like romance,
and 1t is indeed, romance, founded,
however, on the most solid structure
of fact
1t is a fact that the discovery Of oil
was one of the most vital In the his
tory of the United States. 1t seems
fitting that some shaft or monument
should mark the place where Drake
had the prescience to sink the first
oil we'll, which increased 80 amazingly
the wealth of this country and added
80 much to the comforts of life.-Wall

by a greater appetite for food.
But while exercise is absolutely

this end, as for instance, when 1t 10
