CONNELLA HELPS
NEVADA CONVICT
Ol
TO FILE patent
Life Termer May Be Rich Man
if He Ever Leaves Nevada
Prison Walls @..

]. w. Connella, deputy collector in
the internal revenue office and in
ventor of a magazine holder which
was described several days ago in
the Star-Bulletin, is helping convict
in the state penitentiary at Carson
City, Nevada, by applying at the pat
ent office for a patent to transmits
sion mechanism for automobiles.
Connella is a personal friend of
Warden D. S. Dickerson of the state
penitentiary, and used to spend much
time with him on the big penitentiary
farm. Nimrod S. Uric, the convict,
drove the warden's automobile, and
it was thus that Connella became ac-
quainted with him. ..... - =. 7. I,
Uric is life termer and has served
but three years of his sentence.
" "One day." says Connella, I'VE were
talking about various types of auto
mobiles when the chauffeur happened
to mention the fact that he had been
working on new type of automobile
transmission with the view to de-
creasing much useless weight.
Warden Dickerson and immedi-
ately became interested in his des-
cription, and it was not long after this
that he brought us out a neat little
model done in babbitt metal, which
worked perfectly" -. ~.
May Become Rich Man. ....~. . Il
Whether the same mechanism will
work as We'll on an automobile is a
question, the revenue deputy says,
which will be solved in time.
'Tncidenta1ly," says Connella,
''Dickerson is not only making invent
ors out of his conyicts, he is also max
ing men of them"
Warden Dickerson was formerly
governor of the state of Nevada.
The invention in question takes adj
vantage of the varying diameter of a
cone to regulate the speed of the au-
tomobile, transmission being effected
from worm gear. An additional OBJ
iect of the invention is to allow the
gear shift to be made not by the driv-
er but by the momentum of the ma
chine, though the driver regulates |
It, of course.
Not only automobiles but other |
.ypes of machinery as well will bene
it by the invention. if il proves sue.
,essful.

Bananas.
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915. by Frank Crane)

-
The year 1870 is not so very long ago.
Yet 1t was in that year, it is claimed, the
first bananas were brought commercially
to Boston.
Whole fleets now convey this fruit
from the tropics to the American states;
IN every city vendors sell bananas TO
the multitude; in every country grocery
they are staple. in less than fifty wears
they have become one of the chief means
OF sustenance 10 the people of the
nation.
The banana ranks with the apple, the
potato, the wheat-grain, and the peanut
as prime minister to the life Of a hun
dred million people.
The reason is not far TO seek. In the
first place the banana tastes good. There
are some things, like tobacco that one
dislikes at the first bite there are others.
like the banana. that no one has to learn
to enjoy. There may be some curious
palates here and there-freaks are every
where - who have a distaste for this
fruit, but they are not one in a hundred
thousand.
Children cry for them Negroes. China
men, college girls, octogenarians, invalids,
brides and grooms messenger boys, rail-
road presidents. bankers. janitors, prize
fighters, and pacifists like them.
Secondly, they are carefully protected
by nature herself in an admirable sani-
tary covering. You cannot eat the skin
as you do the apples. No matter how
unclean the wagon from which you buy
them. when you peel off the yellow coat
the inward meat is revealed pure and
white "as an undriven hack" as Charley
Case would say.
They are good, they are clean, and
thirdly they are cheap. Thus they are
an ideal food for the millions like to
eat what all humanity eats. l know
some run TO caviar canvas-back, and the
Widow Cliquot, but while they get the
sweet SAVIOR Of exclusiveness they miss
that deep gusto which comes from COM
munion with humanity. This you obtain
when you drink water or milk and eat
bread. potatoes. apples. peanuts. and ba-
nanas. II is an important secret that the
most satisfying forms of pleasure are
those that are common 10 the race.
Fourthly, the banana stands the test
Of science as being a valuable food The
government issues deal Of literature,
the product of its hygenc experts, en-
deavoring to enlightcn the people as to
what foods are wholesome and cheap.
Following is n comparison of bananas
and apples. according TO a L. S. govern
ment report.
