JUST THINK OF 1T!
An Englishman Has Invented An
Improvement to Auto
mobiles.

An Engljshman has invented some
eliminated both clutch and transmits
sion. putting all electric generator in
place Of the clutch and an electric
motor in place OF the transmission.
This is not a mere idea. The ve-
hicle actually runs. 1t is a huge truck
of four ton carrying capacity. 1t is
in regular service on hard hauling
Jobs.
The advantages of the type are said
to be several. First, smoothness OF
drive, since there is no mechanical
contact whatever between motor and
rear axle. Second. simplicity Of con-
troll. Third, ability TO stand still on
hill without braking. Fourth, abIl-
ity to move smoothly at very low
speed. Fifth. ability to use the elec-
trio current for other purposes than
propelling the car when this is de-
sirable.
Tho plan, offhand, seems weird.
But It works. 1t seems queer to in
stall a gasoline motor in order to
generate electricity and then use the
electricity to drive the car. But that
is exactly what Is done in our latest
and finest battleships.
The great trouble with electric ve-
hicles as we know them is that they
run out OF "juloe." Once we substi-
tute an engine and generator for tho
quickly exhausted storage batteries
we can maintain our electric supply
indefinitely,
About the time we think we have
reached the end OF development along
some line. somebody opens a new
door.-Des Moines Register,

WOLVES AND WILDCATS
IL Is Great Pity That We Must
Admit What Root
Claims.

Just before Elhu Root left home to
attend the great disarmament confer
snce now in progress at Washington
he made a speech TO an audience in
which ne pictured an uncivilized
world. and told them what he expect
ed TO do TO diminish the destructive
agencies Of war" He said:
The world Is full Of hatred and
the incapacity of millions Of people In
organizing states to receive the truth
that is being spread throughout all
civilization. and which is to be theirs
in centuries to come. but they are not
! ready for it. =. All the sermons
ever preached. all the books ever
printed, all the oratlons ever deliver
ed. working through the brain OF man
cannot fit him for the acceptance Of
the highest tasks that man Is capable
Of The development of character
must come through exercise by them
OF the virtues that make human char
acter-mercy, compassion. kindly con-
slderation, brotherly affection. sympa-
thy with fellow men, unselfish willing
ness to sacrifice for others"
Mr.. Roots frame of mind as an Of
ficIal peace-maker isn't altogether
chcery and hopeful. Nevertheless only
those who are surprising Ingenious
can doubt the truth Of his description
OF the world in 1921 A. D. We speak
OF the civilized world. but that is mere
| ly TO dlfferentiate between different
parts Of the world.
The world in which steam railways.
trolley limos, telephones, automobiles.
corner drugstores. daily newspapers.
schools and churches are established,
and do not seem exotic. is called for
the sake OF convenience the civilized
world.
Those parts of the world in which
there is no plumbing, and in which
the sick are without trained nurses.
hot water bottles, ice bags and the
benefits and terrors Of modern medl-
cine and surgery; those parts in which
men and women never nave worn
more clothing than American bathers;
those parts of the world in which
there Is no labor party. and in which
there is no labor problem, and never
a labor controversy; those parts OF the
world in which bombing planes and
poison gas and liquid fire are not en-
ployed in settlement OF boundary dis
putes or to aid invasion for loot, con-
stitute the uncivilized world
II is a great pity that we must ad-
NIT. as Mr.. Roo; admits. that the civi-
lized world so called is a world Of
human rattlesnakos, crocodiles, wolves
and wildcats over which even Guizot
would weep,
