Wind Motive
Power In the
Earliest Autos

Although the first gasoline automobile was
invented in 1892 in America, horseless We
hicles of various types had been produced
centuries earlier, according to history of the
automobile receitly compiled by c. S. Rieman,
vice president of the Elgin Motor Car COM
pany.
The first vehicle without animal power is
found in ancient Chinese records which de-
scribe kite carriages which were driven by
wind blowing against sails attached to the
body, says the history.
This idea was later transferred to England
and in the reign of King James I, patent was
granted to Hugo Upton for wind-driven car
riage.
The next efforts to perfect a self-propelled
machine came in the eighteenth century when
man named Pinchbeck built a steam-pro-
PEELED car which ran 10 minutes without stop
ping.
In 1859 the English inventor Laid fur
ther perfected the steam machine and car,
rled five passengers at a rate of six miles
an hour. This was long before the inven-
ton of the locomotive
In 1902 Richard Trevithick built a steam
carriage which ran more than 90 miles and was
later exhibited in London.
The first practical steam carriage, how
ever, was built by Walter Handbook a few
years later This machine ran 1900 miles and
carried a total of 12.761 passengers
The first internal combustion engine
was invented by Able D Hautefeuille in
1878. The explosive power of gunpowder
was used to drive a piston cylinder. This
principle was later adopted in the gaso-
line engine.
The first gas engine was invented in 1884 by
Gottlieb Daimler, who applied it to bicycle a
year later.
1t was after experimenting with this engine
that c. f. Dulyea built the first automobile in
1892. This machine was not successful, as
there was not enough power to drive it except
under ideal conditions. and two years later
Duryea built a four-cylinder car which was
quite successful.
Since then the development of the automo-
bile has been rapid.

Ole Exchange Table
The People and the Price of Coal


Unless the government regulation of
the price of coal is to be a mockery
ii will be necessary for those in pow
er to fix the rate to the consumer at
the earliest possible moment. So far
the new method of dealing with an old
problem has not been a success. The
public has been led to believe that
government intervention meant cheap
er coal, but the first move taken by
the president and his advisers has had
the effect of actually increasing the
price to the consumer If the anthra-
cite rates sent from Washington
stand no one will be satisfied except
the dealers in hard coal, and the con-
sumner, instead of being relieved, will
be called on to carry a heavier bur-
den. Already the local dealers-or
rather some of them-have increased
their prices and have advanced pea
coal to the highest rate in the history
of the coal business. They defended
their action upon the grounds that
they are merely complying with the
federal regulations fixing the rates.
They say in effect: You wanted
price regulation-now take what you
wanted. '-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Men VIII Win the War

The war is not 30 be won in the air.
The war is not to be won on the sea-
The war is not to be won by eco
nomic pressure on Germany
The war is not to be won by revo-
luton in Germany.
The war is not to be won by our
money or food
The war is not to be won by a
miracle, nor by some new and as
founding invention, nor by good luck
or good wishes, nor by waving of flags,
nor dress parades, nor stump speeches.
All these are needed as accessories;
but the war is to be won on the field
of battle by American man power,
face to face with the man power of
the enemy That is the Gerard mes
sage to the people of America. The
sooner it is understood, the better for
the republic-Portland Oregonian.
