u. S. May Buy
The Invention

"Such prophecies as these have been
made before and have been met by the
same sneers and laughter of all classes
of people. Mr.. Giragossian may not
be exempt from ridicule; but his un-
wavering faith in himself and in the
incalculable value of his discovery has
made him indifferent to the derision
Of His fellowmcn. For twenty years he
has patiently pursued the task of de-
veloping his idea and rendering it
available for general use. Three years
ago he perfected the device. and since
that time he has been trying to have it
protected so that he shall lot be
robbed Of the credit and the benefits Of
the invention.
the adoption of the joint resolution
does not obligate the United States to
buy the invention. If the committee
of five eminent scientists decides that
the Garabed is practicable, then the
chase from the inventor the exclusive
right to utilize the discovery. The sum
TO be paid, in case the option to pur-
chase is exercised will be settled uroo
by committee of even number. half
of whom are to be selected by the
Secretary of the Interior and the othnr
half by Mr.. Giragossian, and the YER
dict of this committee is to be subject
TO the approval of the Secretary of the
Interior and the inventor If the
United States decides not to buy the
invention. the rights of Mr. Giragos-
sian remain, as guaranteed by the reso-
luton"

Play Hosts to
War Orphans

her home port from European
waters the other day she brought the
story of new conquest of war. The
officers and men Of the good ship took
of the little war orphans of Brittany.
The story is incide ntally belated
Christmas story. but that is only in
cidental-it is essentially story OF
conquest. The principal munitions
used were toys and dolls, tree, and
such dinner as never a war orphan
of Northern France had dreamed in
these terrible times.
In no place on the Eastern front has
the war laid heavier hand than in
Brittany. There behind the lines is
and its ramparts are set in the hearts
of women and little children. SO when
Christmas came again it was just an
other fighting day for them.
And then came Uncle Sam, playing
Santa Claus, with his naval officers and
bluejackets as helpers. 1t is true lie
was a couple of weeks late, for he had
to be very cautious passing throdgh
submarine infested waters, and there
kinds, but he did arrive at last, and
half a thousand of the little folks re-
ceved their invitation to visit his ship.
The orphans came jamming the decks
of French navy tug. In wide-eyed
wonder the youngsters, under care of
volunteer women, were guided up the
gangway. The innocent invasion was
complete. The children swarmed
The big gun deck was transformed
into fairyland. Red and green drap-
ings festooned the deck above and che
gaunt bulkheads were concealed by the
decoration.
In the centre of this toyland, sur
rounded by the draped flags of the
United States and France. was an enor-
nous Christmas tree, shimmering in its
tinselled trimmings and sparkling with
lights. About it lay the presents. dolls,
things enticing to the childish heart
And a long row of tables were set with
cakes, ice cream, everything, in fact, to
make one grand full meal, with q box
of candy apiece in addition.
After the feast came the distribut on
OF presents. The youngsters had passed
out of that enchanted circle where the
ships lieutenant dispersed with lavish
hand the presents. Then the kid6es
had secured bag of new francs and
as each passed he received FIVE of these
bright pieces of silver
Thus came and passed a belated
Christmas to the war orphans of
Northern France. And those, here in
the United States, who would like to
send clothing. toys. money, Or any
thing to the little war orphans of
France, may do SO by addressing them
TO the U. S. S. Bridge. care Supply Of

the happiness will be delivered.

By Ralph Block

-E IS thick-set man, with heavy
n features, but it is his eyes
4 - that draw your attention. They
lie deeply in the forehead, under jut-
ting brows. Their color is hard to
determine they are full of shadows
and they change with the light and
with the direction of his thought. The
mouth is sympathetic, understanding
and well controlled, the nose energetic
snd generous. but the eyes are more
than that Imagination and intuition
are in their depths. Fine lines are at
their corners, lines that find signif-
canoe when a smile graves them more
deeply.
If you are skeptical of human pos
sib;l;ties, you will find him oddly re
strained for one who claims so much
But If you are won to faith by his in
telligence, the natural understanding he
displays of the inmost constitution of
human events, and above all by his
sanity, you will not think his restraint
odd You will understand that it is nat
urally of piece with your faith.
And faith to Garabed T. K. Giragos-
sian is no small thing, for if his words
are true words his hand is intended
to open the door of the future and
give the world passage into new order
o. living.
Herbert Spencer once said: "Give
ne energy and / can create another
world" The present civilization of
the world is based upon energy, but it
is not enough and the world still
hungers for more, bends every effort
IL its capture, although it can add
little increment to the great total.
Seventeen years ago a young man
came to America, out OF an obscure
Armenian village, obsessed with the
idea Of supplying free energy to the
world. A few weeks past he stood
before a committee of Congressmen
and impressed them so deeply that,
shortly after, Congress passed reso-
luton giving the protection of the
United States government to a machine
intended to free energy. No member
CT Congress has ever seen this machine
No member of Congress knows anv
thing about its action. They too are
taking Garabed T. K. Giragossian on
faith

doomed, coal will be diverted to other
uses. and that the Garabed alone viii
te used to supply energy to the world.
Airships, great ocean steamers, lines
of trans portation, motor cars. pumps,
indeed everything in the world which
has depended upon the continuous ap-
plication of energy will draw its power
from some derivation of the principle
he has recovered for man out of the
secret wealth of nature.
Giragossian himself is an interesting
and stimulating man, interesting and
stimulating even if he had done moth
ing to draw the skepticism of the
world. But the record Of his hearins
before the Committee on Patents of the
House of Representatives has much
that is amazing in it. He came to the

srteeing protection to the discoverer
and providing for its free use by the
United States government, is a motor
promising an almost unlimited supply
Of energy. The man who spent twenty
years CT his life perfecting the ma
chine denies that he is an inventor
He declares that his contribution will
be recognized as the disclosure of
principle in nature that heretofore has
been unknown. What that principle is
remains his secret. Men who have be
leved in him and have helped him
in the years he spent trying to put
il into action do nol themselves know
what it is.
But of its results he makes no secret.
He declares that the steam engine is

Motor Perfected
Since 1915

Glragossian went to a Congregational
school In Armenia. When he came to
the United States in 1891 he opened
a drygoods store in Worcester. Mass.
Later, when the idea Of an energy
motor grew upon him. he entered a
macnlne shop to study the processes
CT machinery. In his conversation. if
you are fortunate enough to draw his
interest, he emphasizes over and over
that it is natural processes that he finds
interesting. In 1898 he began work in
earnest. In 1902 he wrote to Senator
Hoar that he had discovered something.
although it was still vague in his mind.
In l9lo he perfected his motor. The
parts OF the machine are not now as
sembled IN any one place. but are scat
tered so that nobody except the MAJ.
Who made them knows their relation
snip and their meaning in the com
pleted whole.
HIS own description of the processes
Of ms mind in arriving at his final
conclusion IS Illuminating in the light
OF the psychology OF imagination.

Motor Will Work
Anywhere at No Cost

SO far as it is possible to conjec-
.ure, the atmosphere is the ineXhaustl
bic reservoir of energy to which Mr.
Glragossian refers, for, at hearing
before the House Committee on Pat
ents, he was asked whether his process
or contrivance is applicable to the sub
marine, and he declined to give an un-
equivocal answer. He does claim, how
ever, that the motor by which he uti-
Lies the free energy can be used for
ship propulsion, haulage of railway
trains, driving airplanes, production of
electricity, pumping water, and doing
the thousand-and-one things that have
hitherto been done by steam engines
and other types of motors; and he
claims further that his motor will oper-
ate with the same certainty and regu-
iarlty in all climates and at all alti-
tudes, without human assistance.
ne advantages of such a device-if
1t actually exists outside the magma
ton of Mr.. Girago obvious
1t is absolutely independent of auxil-
itself, whereas the steam engine must
have boiler with its furnace, pump
and other accessories. The Garabed is
much smaller and lighter than the
steam engine Of equal output, is easily
portable and will produce power any
whore at no cost other than the wear
and tear on the machinery. With prac-
tically unlimited power at little or no
expense, human labor will be vastly
llghtcned and labor troubles will dis
appear AT the same time the produc-
tive capacity of industry will be enor-
mously increased. and the present era
cf prosperity will be insignificant in
comparison with that which will come
when the Garabed is used universally.
'The effect on social and economic
conditions Will be equally startling and
probationary. Free energy in unlim-
tied amounts will result in the pro-
duction of an abundance of all those
things necessary to the existence and
comfort Of the race Thus pover4y

"A Crank-but Then

Continuing, Power says, under the
! heading of "Garabed: Boon or Bun

1T is foolish to regard Mr.. Giragos-
sian as a harmless lunatic. That which
he proposes is fantastic in the extreme
and subversive of fixed ideas. But it
must be remembered that people ridi-
cuied the possibility of the airplane,
the wireless telegraph and scores of
ether scientific discoveries that have
now become familiar factors in every
day life We are in an age of search
ing investigation and rapid develop
ment. The imposs biities of yester
day are the achievements Of to-day;
dreams of ycsternight are realities to-
morrow. 1t is unwise and unsafe to
pass judgment on the discoverer of the
Garabed. If he proves his assertions
the world will acclaim his genius and
! laud his perseverance. If he fails his
extravagant promises will be a boom

May Be True

Jules Verne in all his vivid imagin-

which is being told by Garabed T. X
Giragossian," remarks Power" "He
denies emphatically that it is perpetual
motion or that it in any way contro-

energy, over which so many would-b be
inventors have trpped. He simply
makes use of an inexhaustible quantity
of energy that exists everywhere and
that cannot be monopolized.'

That such journal as Power"
should take "Garabed" seriously per-
haps warrants a review of the Garabed
story, about which clings something of
the air of q fairy tale According to
Power" mo one except the inventor

nature of the free energy or the method
by which it is to be used.

Captures Committee
in One Sitting

Giragossian himself won the conf
dence of the committee, its belief in
his sincerity and Intelligence, at one
sitting. This is what he told the Con-
gressmen:
81 will not bring any argument to
convince any man, but | know as a
positive tact, after on experiment of
years and after working for years,
that can demonstrate it before any
body and convince any man of COM
mon sense. l can lay down my draw
ings before scientists and can con-
vince them IN fifteen or twenty min
utes that | have accomplished this
work. Ii there was any doubt, it
would be impossible for me to come
and claim such thing. because |
know what kind of RECEPTION awaits
any man who disgraces himself by
failure. There is no failure involved
in this. If one morning you got up
and saw the sun rising from the other
side and men walking on their heads,
then, II that happened, that nature
changed its laws, that would mean
that 1 have failed; but, my dear sirs,
there is no failure about this"
The man who thus put his name
with Newton's was born IN the village
OF Husnimansaur-Ad in a corner
Of Armenia. He believes that he was
born some time during our own Civil
War, but is not certain ofthe date, the
birth records having been destroyed.
HIS father was a village headman, as
his father was before him. The pa
ternal Glragossian was treasurer
for the Ottoman government and a
merchant. He was killed by the Turks
IN the massacre of 1895, and the Gira-
gossian Of this narrative himself lost
a son to the Turks five years ago.
