lem OF perpetual motion. Ollie Ray, a
young mechanic, recently stated that
he is willing to give a demonstration
of his invention TO any reliable au-
thority.
Here are some of the things Ray rays
his invention has done.

gaining a high rate of speed.
Maintained this high speed for six
weeks without the aid of n outside
agency Except lubricating Oil.
In addition. enough additional power
was procured from the wheel to run
3pools from a line shaft.
Ray declares the wheel would be
cunning yet. had he not stopped it at
the end OF SIX weeks. having convinced
himself that the thing vas workable.
For fear the idea might be stolen. ne
tore down the model. but says he could
construct it again within u few hours.
Ray recently was mustered out OF
the army. having served as "A mocha mic

From the Indianapolis News.
Last year the congressional appropria-
ton for the garden and flower seeds was
$23e.330. The appropriation sought for this
year IS $5s,:S0. an increase OF Sli3. SEQ. This
comes at a time when the government is
presenting the biggest tax hGl in its his
tory: 1t is q time when expenses should
be cut to the bone; it is a time whei,
every form OF pork and graft should be
stunned as never before; and yet in spite
Of the need for economy and the protest
against the constantly increasing tax
rates. the House agricultural, committee
recommends a 80 per cent increase in the
amount OF money TO be spent fog free
garden and flower seeds.
Some protests were Inade against th..
appropriation. Charges were na6. that
congressman distributed these seeds to
insure popularity at home and that this
distribution was a form Of campaigning.
This was denied. although one member
admitted that the distribution. Of free
seeds did not hurt his popularity in any
way. Others said that they received re-
quests for free seeds from bankers. pro-
feseiOnAi men. manufacturers and 80 on.

From the New York World.
Through lack OF vigor in pressing the
matter upon the attention of the Senate.
Senator Pomerene OF the committee on
privileges and elections has directly
helped defeat an investigation OF the sem
atoriai election last November In Michi-
gan. Prompt action WAS imperauyely de-
lnanded for the safeguarding Of the BAL
lots. If nothing more. la the Ford New
berry contest,
1t is now 700 late TO preserve intact the
records upon which a thorough and con-
elusive investigation must be based. In
some counties they have already been de-
stroyed. 1t was to ba foreseen that this
would happen. Ample warning was given
when the grounds for Henry F'ord's con-
test Were. first laid before the Senate.

Senate had no right to conduct an inyesti-
cation into the election OF a member OF

and the blame is with Ny. Poinerene and

The Rhine.
From the MAJ, ya.L

From the New York Sun.
There are many and cogent reasons
why the peace conference should take up
the question Of the freedom OF nayfaa-
ton upon thu. Rhine. Although the treaty
OF Vienna I'm article 109 declared that all
International rivers should be freq to
the shipping OF the powers although the
treaty of Mannheim. concluded in 1868.
expressly provided that 1.-The navigation
of the Rhine and it's mouths. from Basic
to The ssa. shall be free to the vessels
of all nations" Germany has more than
once di%sregarded the interests Of other
states upon this great waterway.
In 1911 she passed a law for the coll
Letting Of tolls on the Rhine. which. how
ever, was so bitterly opposed by Switzer-
n and Holland that il was not en-
forced until after the outbreak OF war.
Even more serious was the German at
tempt to make use Of the water power
of the river between S%trasburg and Basic.
in a way which would have been most in
furious to shipping between those two
points. This project. by making it i'm
possible for vessels of more than 1000
tons to reach -Basle. would have struck
u severe blow to the prosperity OF this
inland port OF the mountain republic.
Thus. even had there been no war.
some guarantee OF the treaty arrange
ments touching the Rhine would I'M
doubtedly have been demanded not only
by Switzerland and Holland, but by Eng
land and other nations having interests
In the navigation Of the river. Now. that
France-has ~regained Alsace.IDrraine and
has carried her frontiers once more to
the Rhine. she will undoubtedly asso-
c!ate herself with the powers interested
in reaching a just and ina settlement
OF this important question. It may there
fore be ssumed that the peace confer
ence will proclaim anew the freedom OF
navigation upon. the river. will prohibit
any use OF It's waters detrimental to the
interests of any nation. and will take
proper measures for the enforcing of its
decrees.
