winner of six cylinder, $1,525 1920
model Oldsmobile touring car, as one

contest which has been conducted since
last September by the St. Paul Dis
patch and Pioneer Press. The contest
closed Saturday, the names of the win

Darlington has a brand new inven-
ton in the shape of wind sleigh de-
signed by Clarence Cummings. The
new machine can spin over the snow at
a 30 mile clip and is most ingenious
model. The invention is regular au-
tomobile chassis together with the en-
CINE mounted on q sleigh in reverse
from the usual position. The motive
power is furnished by an airplane pro-
peller 5h feet in diameter driven at
a speed Of 1,400 revolutions per minute
by the IS horse power motor. The pro
peller rests on steel frame built up
over the front runners. The sleigh is
guided by steering apparatus at
tached to the rear runners and manip-
ulated by steering wheel just in front
of the driver. While the first model
has water cooled motor and seating
capacity for only one passenger, the
inventor hopes to improve the wind
sleigh so that an air cooled motor will
be adaptable and increases its capacity
to three or four passengers. A large
windshield to protect the drier will be
placed directly behind the propeller and
it is planned to have the seats arrang
ed in cokpit that will be built along
lines of comfort and convenience. on
trial trips the new machine has proved
the hopes of the inventor. It can trav-
Ell with ease and at rapid rate with
out the motor being under strain.
