SEATTLE INVENTOR
A ON THE AIR
FOR A POWER

Seattle, Wash, July 29.-Using an
atmospheric power generator coil II
inches, attached to a silent motor II
inches in diameter and Is inches in
length, generating about as horse
power, Alfred M. Hubbard, Seattle boy
inventor, yesterday propelled an 49,
foot boat, containing three passengers
besides himself, at a speed of eight
to 10 knots an hour. Except for the
rattle of the chain attaching the mo-
tor to the propeller shaft, the power
unit gave forth no sound. Motor and
coil were lifted free from their block
supports to prove the absence of con-
cealed or connecting wires.
The youthful inventor had some
trouble getting the motor started in
the right direction at first it being
disposed to run backwards. The gen.
orator coil developed 269 amperes cur
REM with 1875 volts force and the wires
connecting it with the motor heat
ed to such an extent as to compel fire.
auent disconnections. Otherwise the
demonstration was apparently a sue
cess.
Young Hubbard said the power gen.
orator coil cost 500 to construct. With
a coil three times this size he claimed
it would be possible to drive an air.
plane or automobile indefinitely.
A Seattle capitalist who witnessed
the experiment was frankly puzzled
and said he would have an expert
electrical engineer pass on the young
mans invention.

GET ACQUAINTED WITH
YOUR STORAGE BATTERIES

"It's a wise motorist that knows
his own storage battery remarked
Mr.. Magruder, manager of the Prest-
O-Lite Service Station at Glasgow.
"a man drove in here the other day,
ne continued, "and asked me if I'd
take a look at his storage battery.
He said that it was hard to get his
engine started and that his lights
gave only about half a candle-power
illumination.
ellis car looked fairly new, so l
felt pretty sure that the trouble did
not lie in the wiring, SO l asked him
when the battery had been tested
last. He said that so far as he knew
it had nevre- been tested since he
bought the car six or seven weeks
previously.
$50 l went after it with a hydro
meter and found it almost half dis
charged. 1t needed distilled water,
too. Honestly, what that mar didn't
know about a storage battery was a
caution. He simply hadn't given any
thought to it. l told him that he ought
to have it tested every two weeks, and
that when the electrolyte got below
the tops of the plates distilled water
should be added.
"He asked me if he would have to
leave it to be recharged, and I said
no; that if he would use his starter
and lights sparingly and take a 25-
mile run through the country, his own
generator would put back all the pep
that was needed.
But l cautioned him, Just re-
member that a storage battery needs
care, same as an engine does. Prest-
O-Lite service helps you to give it
that care but it's up to you to do your
part.

existing high prices is the fact that
a commodity passes thru too many
hands before It reaches the consumer,
and most of those hands are experts
at the pleasing and lucrative occupa-
ton of gouging.
If public officials had taken firm
stand as soon as the gouging COM
menced--if they had filled the jails
when the evil was in it's infancy
profteering, would never have reached
the gigantic proportions which now
stagger the country.
But they didn't, and because of their
laxity we are paying the penalty to-
day.
Even at this late day, if our pub
lie officials can be brought as body
to realization of their duty-if they
can be prodded into an energetic per

day expect the law Of supply and de-
mand to again regulate the price OF
the food we eat and the other neces-
sites we require in our daily life.

WIDOWS WASH
To PAY FOR
FUNERALS

Madison, Wis.-High prices were
characterized as frenzy by Gov. E.
L. Philip in his address to the Wis
consin Undertakers' convention held
at the state capitol Wednesday. The
GOVERNOR said there was a frenzy
among many people to buy everything
as cheaply as they could and sell as
high as they could. He said that this
condition would soon remedy itself
as soon as production won over con-
sumption.
Because you are the first to come
in contact with the home where a
member has died" said Gov. Philip,
''I take the liberty to make a sugges-
ton to you. It is so often brought to
/ our notice-and particularly in the
large cities-that when a poor man
dies and leaves a family of a wife and
children, that in their great sorrow
they are anxious to give the husband
and father beautiful funeral.
''They wish to provide a costly cas-
ket and the necessary carriages and
automobiles in order that it may be
said that they paid the proper respect
to the departed one This is all very
good, but the cost often becomes q
burden for apoor woman that she
should not undertake. We often heal
of poor women that do washing fol
years to pay the funeral bills of then
husbands. I believe that in such cas-
es the undertaken should advise mod
crate expenditures"

Why WEPAY

The Indictment and prosecution of
profiteers and gougers in various sec
tions of the country comes as ray of
hope to a people groaning under the
burden Of exorbitant prices for every
thing we eat, wear or use.
It is not the retailer who is feeling
the weight Of the law, as his prices
as a rule are quite within the bounds
of reason-at least in the country
towns and rural districts.
The gougers who are being hit are
generally middlemen or wholesalers,
who have been Juggling the products
back and forth, with price boost at
every juggle.
Normally, the law of supply and de-
mand regulates the price ola com
modify. But it has not been so since
the beginning Of the way, because
times have not been normal.
One of the principal reasons for

the statement that party said he
heard of potatoes being destroyed"
or "a report comes" and etc. This Di-
vision has heard Of some of these sup
posed cases OF food being wasted or
destroyed, and has traced them down
and in all cases there was nothing to
the case. These stories of carloads of
food being destroyed to keep up prices
are nothing but bunk and are rum
ored around periodically by propaganda
lists of one type or another.

Madison, s.,-The Division of Mar

a sinister scheme Tor keeping up the

he saw a man near Tomahawk sell

forbidden to dig them. This should
