CONSTRUCTION Of
MOTOR CAR AXLES

Experts have loirg acknowledged
the serious drawbacks of gear differ
entails, either of the bevel or spur
pinion types, but since differcntiul ac-
ton is considered essential to motor
car. the disadvantages have been ac-
cepted as necessary evils. The aver
age motor car owner does not care so
much about technical descriptions as
actual facts which mean money saw
ing, economy. labor saving and ease
of operation with service heightened,
as well.
That there is now upon the market
n device which overcomes the many
drawbacks of the usual balance gear
is n fact which auto owners will be
glad to learn. This new mechanism
takes the place of the gear differential
at the center of the rear axle, and one
axle without in any way altering the
axle housing. ring, shafts or bearings.
Many prominent users have fully
tested this mechanism and 1T has
proven every single claim made for it,.
A saving of tires and fuel is made
that cannot be ignored. In fact. there
are so many good features ii will pay

Balzac and His Debts.

"With Balzac's rising fame rises the
mountain OF his debts" writes crit
ic. These, starting from his two dis
astrous years of printing and publish
ing in Paris, accumulated until, at
the top of his literary renown, he had
to hide from his creditors in garret
under the name of his landlady or
his washerwoman. In 1897 Balzac, at
that date the best known and the
most debated novelist in France,
owed 10000 francs-about $32,5OO.
Then he must needs buy a cane
which was the talk of Paris, some
gold buttons for new coat, a divine
opera glass and dressing gown be-
yond words and give dinner to the
dandies of the opera respecting which
Rossino said that he had not seen
more magnificence when he dined at
royal tables.
"Balzac, three times a millionaire,
would still have buried himself in
debt for the mental eXaltation Of his
creative hours was reproduced when
he broke loose from the galley bench.

He lavished in anticipation the wealth
he had dreamed would be his. This
gone. he borrowed anew or devised
another of those schemes that were
to enrich HIM beyond the possibilities
of literature. His schemes were es-
sentially a part of Balzau, the sover-
eign. unconquerable visionary.
He would transport oaks from
Poland to France: nothing like oaks
from Poland to make your own for
tune three times over! Behold him
again gravely working out his plan 10

INVENTORS STILL
CHASE THIS MYTH

"PerpetuaI Notion Goal-Patent Of
flee Thinks 1t Has Found Way
to Stop Them.
Every now and then someone ap-
pears with a new perpetual motion
machine. Needless to say, no such
machine has ever withstood the tests.
but inventors persist in trying just the
same. Accounts of several attempts to
solve the perpetual problem have
been printed and there are many
which never get before the public. The
United States patent office comes into
contact every year with thousands of
these evidences of human ingenuity
and hope.
Application for patent costs fee,
which cannot be recovered II the pat
ent is not granted. 1t is to save the
expenditure of these fees, which
amount to thousands of dollars an
nually, that the Commissioner of Pat
ents has made benevolent ruling.
Reputable patent attorneys usually
tell the inventor that he is wasting his
money in making application, but ex-
perience has shown that it is general
ly impossible to convince an inventor
that his schemes are impracticable, so
that many an attorney, sometimes
| against his will. is compelled to pre-
mare specifications and claims which
relate to an invention that is inopera-
tive.
In the past it has been the practice
of the patent office to demand a work
ing model from TIL einventor of perpet.
ual motion machines. The man who
cannot be convinced by an attorney
that his machine is imperative is not
| likely to be discouraged by such re.
ouirements. The result is that many
an inventor spends hundreds and per-
haps thousands of hard-earned dollars
in trying to build an operative perpet
ual motion model.
Now the commissioner in order to
spare the inventor the necessity OF
parting with at least the government
fees for an application, has decided
that hereafter no application for pat
ent on a perpetual motion machine
will be censidsSsA at all unless work
ing model is filed in the very first
place.
The wording of the commissioners
ruling is as follows: THE views of the
United States patent office are in &C
cord with those of the scientists who
have investigated this subject and are
to the effect that such devices are
physical impossibilities. The position
of the office can be rebutted only b,
the exhibition of working model
When an application is forwarded tt
the examiner for consideration, hs
will make no examination as to th'
merits. but his first action will be thu
requirement that a working model b'
filed"

CATCHES CHICKENS WITH NET
Youths Invention, Thrown Like Lasso,
Spreads Nine Feet.

Lewis Johnson, young man who
lies on his uncle's farm near Trout
dale, Ore, has inented a novel con-
trivance wherewith to catch timid
chickens without the customary break
neck chase. Lewis was commissioned
to catch the fowls for several large
dinners and it required deal of chas-
ing. He now has neatly woven net,
fishnet in resemblance, round in
shape, borders lined with auto drive
chain and a long rope attached to
the middle of the net.
The net is compact and looks small
enough, but when released by throw
ing, much as a lasso is thrown, 1t
spreads out uniformly to a nine-foot
circle. The spreading is automatic
and the fall swift, so there is little
chance for the fowl to escape.

SECRET OF
YANKEE SUCCESS
Not Confined to Trades of Forefathers
Nor Dismayed by Failure.

In that place called Monte Carlo
every time the wheel turns and the
ball rolls into its place 1t marks Il
fresh condition of the game, an ABB
solutely new chance which has notb-
ing whatever to do with what haN
gone before or is to appear in the tu'
ture. Each spin is the year one OF
the bank. Therefore the bank wins.
America has appreciated the year
one, and that fact has not been un-
connected with Yankee success. You
will find that a man loses money as
vasser and suddenly rises to wealth
as builder. The peg has found the
hole at last.
An Englishman, unappreciative OF
the year one, would have been chain
ed to failure by the precedent of cen
turies. He would have argued that
he had always been a farmer, that
his father was farmer and his un-
Gle a dairyman. Therefore it was
plainly impossible that he could ever
make money as a builder. In conclu-
sion Ie would have quoted you that
falsest of all false proverbs, "A roll
ing stone gathers no moss"
say false" only in the English
application of the ancient proverb.
For otherwise it is an up-to-date mot

There is in America today an eXem-
plification of the principle of the year
one in a newspaper proprietor with
some eighty thousand pounds a year
to his credit. Until he has over fifty
years of age he was a farmer, and
not very efficient farmer at that.
Then he started his paper, and away
he went on the road to success. How

Breathing Microbes.

In the course of an interesting talk
recently on the subject of Lon.

some surprising statements concern
ing the quality OF air that Londoners
are compelled to breathe. For every
microbe that you find in mid-ocean
air you find $4,000 in the atmosphere

DRAFTSMEN'S HOURS REDUCED
Those Of B. & @. Department, Steelton.
Will Get 20 Per Cent. Less Paw

A reduction in the working hours of
the craftsmen employed by the Penn
sylvania Steel Company in the Bridge
and Construction Department went into
effect this morning. Heretofore these
men worked until o'clock each even
ing. From to-day on until the volume
of work increases the quitting hour for
these craftsmen will be $50 clock
in the afternoon. While the craftsmen
VIII be paid at the same rate per hour
as heretofore the reduction in hours
will constitute a decrease of about rs
per cent. in their pay.
That this reduction in working hours
applies only to the craftsmen en-
ployed in the B. & C. Department and
does not affect any professional or

ONLY ONE BROKEN BONE
ON THE c. Y. R. R. IN 1914
President Kennedy Points Out That
There Was Not Single Wreck in
the Twelve Months and Says Road
Is Safest and Best in United States

M. G. Kennedy, president of the Cum
berland Valley Railroad Company, is
sued the following to the employees of
the road to-day:
During the year just closed the
Cumberland Valley Railroad transport
ed approximately eight and a quarter
million tons of freight and two million
passengers without the loss of life of
a passenger or one of its 2,100 em-
ployes and without injuring a passen-
ger.
''While there have been minor ac-
cidents to employees, not so much as a
finger or toe has been amputated,
and with the exception of one fractured
ankle, not leg nor an arm broken.
Without taking into consideration
the few slight accidents on industrial
sidings and in yards there has not been
a wreck in the general aceeptaItion of
that term. The wreck crew has only
been called seven times during the year
and the total cost of wrecking has been
Insignificant.
This splendid record of which I
feel justly proud, and which l do not
believe has been equaled by any rail
road of its size and same density of
traffic, is not attributable to any one
man but to the hearty cooperation of
every officer and employe in their un-
firing efforts to make the Cumberland
Valley the best and safest railroad in
the United States.
81 congratulate you and ask con-
tinuanee of that loyal support without
which such q record could not have
been made, and extend to you one and
all my best wishes for happy and
prosperous New Year."

Four Candidates in the

LAWMAKERS ARE
COMING TONIGHT
Hotel Accommodation Will Be Taxed
as Never Before During Coming Ses-
sion - Amber Is Brllmbaugh' s
Choice in Speakership Fight

The facts that lively contest for
the Speakership of the House is on and
that the Legislature will convene next
week, were emphasized to-day by the
posting of large cards all over that part
of the city frequented by the newly
arrived legislators, announcing that
Richard j. Baldwin, of Delaware coun-
ty, is candidate for Speaker of the
House.
1t is usually the custom to placard
the trees along the capitol walk with
these cards, but thus far the ban has
been put on that method of announce
ment, and the candidate s cards will
appear on the vacant bill boards and
telegraph poles of the city, and there
are mighty few of those left. Baldwin s
headquarters will be in the parlors of
the Commonwealth HOTEL and from now
on he and his friends will lie in wait
for the unpledged Legislators IL the
hope of corralling sufficient votes TO
carry the Republican caucus, which
will be held on Monday night in the
House caucus room.
Headquarters also have been en-
gagged in the Common wealth for Charles
A. Amber, of Montgomery; Henry L.
Wilson, of Jefferson, and Robert P.
Habgood, of Mexican, but none of them
has arrived.
Surface indications here point to the
selection of Amber, said to be the
choice of Governor-elect Br,imbaugh,

Wilson as Dark Horse
Wilson, of Jefferson, appears to be
the dark horse candidate, and it is con
jectured that the contest between Bald
win and Amber will be so bitter that,
to avoid trouble, the leaders will give
orders for the rural legislator to turn
in for Wilson. State Chairman Crow is

TENER Clearing HIS desk
Retiring Governor Will Make Several
Important Appointments Prob
ably on Monday

Governor Tener expects to have his
desk cleared of all business by the time
his term expires so that Governor
Brumbaugh can begin "from the be-
ginning" with no unfinished business
to claim his attention. 1t is expected
that on Monday, Governor Tener will
name the successor to Judge Robert S.
Fraze1 on the Common Pleas bench of
Allegheny county, but up to the pres
ent he has declined to say whom he pro-
poses to appoint.
The commission of Judge John A.
Shafer, as President Judge of the AL
legheny county court, has been pre-
pared and will be issued on the re-
ceipt of the Frazer resignation, Judge
Frazer going on the State Supreme
bench. The Governor will also have
the appointing of a Coroner for Mont
gomery county to succeed Coroner Ne
vile, who was elected member of the
House. There are several vacancies to
fill on mother S pension boards which
will be filed in time to permit the
boards to get the state appropriation,
and few minor appointments that will
all be made before the Governor leaves
the chair.
The appointments made by the Gov
ernor during the recess of the Legis
