in no proper sense be held to be
within the inhibition Of a criminal
statute which declares that 1t shall be

Will Generate Energy

NEW YORK, Oct. ARMED with

which he believes will revolutionize
industry and have a far-reaching
effect on the social and commercial
activities of mankind, Edward M.
Hubbard, An eighteen-year-old cleo
trical wizard. Of Seattle, Wash, is in
New York arranging for the manu-
facture Of machines Incorporating the
principle Of his invention
said recreates energy without the
consumption of anything tangible,
has attracted wide attention on the
Pacific coast, where It has been sub
jected to . series OF public tests.
Scientific circles have been unable
to determine the source o: the power
developed by Hubbards method. The
device has become known as an "at-
mospheric generator"
When seen at the Claridge, where
he is stopping, Hubbard declined to
identify the interests, forming a COM
pany to manufacture the dynamos,
but said 1t is anticipated that they
will be on the market within a year.
Hubbard expects to market a
dynamo weighing less than forty
pounds, which will generate sufficient
current to heat and light an ordinary
sized house, in addition to furnishing
the heat for cooking the meals of an
average family.
As Hubbard explained the device
its operation will be without cost
after the initial price of installation
1t requires no fuel whatever, he said
