In Performance as in
Style Essex is Leader
It's SO Hours at Top Speed Endurance Mark is Unmatched
1'uf mat is Proof OF Only One Fine Car Quality Essea
Brings to the Light Car Field

Thousands at first bought the Essex,
knowing nothing of its greatest quality.
Perhaps no one expected great endurance in
light car. Perhaps its dynamic perform
ance appeal swept aside the natural caution
buyers feel about the durability of any
new car.
More speed they found. More power
quicker acceleration - finer hill-climbing
ability, and such riding ease as they had
never known in a light car.
These things the Essex established
quickly. A ride was sufficient. It left no
vestige of comparison with former light car
performance standards.
Such attractions were irresistible to those
who knew former light car limitations.
But only time or abnormally abusive
tests can prove car endurance.

Machine That Puzzles

By international News seryice.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. I'll hough
great scientists have spent their
lives in an effort to determine the
power within the atmosphere and
whether it could be applied on
earth, l9-year-old boy, Alfred NJ.
Hubbard OF this city, claims that he
has discovered and tapped the in
exhaustible reservoirs of natures
energy and harnessed to the use Of
man the power that holds the worlds
together.
The lad is supported in his claim
by college professors and noted sci
entists of the Pacific northwest. He
is supported only to the extent that
he has demonstrated his discovery.
and none has been able to detect a
flaw in the working. nor has anyone
found secret" wire in the instru-
ment.
No Patent Yet. 4
Because he has not as yet oh
tanned a patent upon his discovery,
young Hubbard is reticent to speak
OF his instrument or to allow out
siders to get more than glimpse OF
his apparatus. George Quinan, su-
pcrintendent of the electrical opera
tions OF the Puget Sound Electric
Light and Power company, after
viewing the bit of machinery and
witnessing a demonstration, said:
Whatever it is the lad has done, it
is marvellous demonstration"
A few days ago young Hubbard
announced that he would give a
public demonstration of the practi-
cabllity of his apparatus. He calls
it the atmospheric generator" He
Contends that it will draw power
from the air and drive engines on
earth. 1t is simple piece of small
COIL surrounding a permanently
magnetic core. An ordinary incan-
descent electric light, connected
with the two terminals of the gen.
orator. caused it to glow cherry
red for more than an hour. Inves-
tigation so far has proved that there
are no hidden batteries and no stor-
age and no primary. The boy re-
iterates his claim to each query:
There is no connection with any
power source other than what yon
see"
Runs In Air.
The next and more startling DEM
made before distin-
Cuished gathering was the throwing
of the switch into place on Is
horsepower electric motor and in /
stantly the motor jumped into life,
developing its full capacity OF
power.
Skcptics present scofingly assert
ed that the motor was connected :
by unseen wires. Hubbard hoisted,
the motor with tackle and allowed /
his audience to make examination
and tests to assure themselves that |
no wires extended from the motor.
The tiny apparatus was then /
taken apart by Hubbard for the /
benefit of his audience. Though he
showed exactly what it consisted of,
he would not tell nor discuss how
he had arranged the parts to change
she polarity at the rate of 120 times
a second, which die says is the secret
cf his invention.
