United States District. Attorney La
fayette French for copy of the
complaint in Mrs. Elizabeth Male
wicki's $4,000 damage suit against
S. B. Qvale, federal prohibition
director for Minnesota, was con-
strued today by ]. J. Fitzpatrick,

complaint attached. Mr.. Qyale turn
ed the summons ove- to the United

plant within the specified time af-
ter service of the summons.
Mrs. Malewicki's suit for $4,000

plant that the agents used vile and
profane language, and that in their
search of the premises. they piled
some rugs near, the entrance to a
stairway.

self in danger of bodily harm, she
crossed the room, tripped over the

flight of stairs and suffered perma-
nent injuries. to the amount of

SMALLEST MOTOR PERFECTED
Sleepy Eye Man Has Machine That
Defies Comparison
ISnecial to The Free Press.1


Sleepy Eye. August 25.-"The
smallest electric motor in the
world" is what the builder J. Ko-
walsky calls the motor he had on
exhibition here today.
:. The motor is only one fourth of an
Inca wide and one fourth OF an inch
thick and can be completely behind
a standard lead pencil The field coils
of the motor consist OF thirty three
turns of wire on each leg and the
armature mas eighty turns Of wire.
The commutator is but one six
teenth OF an inch in diameter and
has three segments.,s The armature
bolts. screws, soldered or threaded
joints. Every part Of the motor is
assembled by means of dovetail
joints. Tie motor proper is mounted
on, rare piece of Pipestone granite,
delicately finished and polished. Cur
rent to operate this miniature is Sc
cured from two fiashlight cells.
The builder challenges anyone to
produce a smaller motor that will
actually run.
Another piece of apparatus that
Mr. Kowalsky has made is motor
made from two Ford timer cases.
This motor is also work of art.
The motor can be entirely taken
a part by the removal of one bolt.
There are no wire connections to
loosen and every part of this motor
is accurately constructed to the
very highest degree. This motor al
so has a base OF Pipestone< granite
and Mr.. Kowalsky built it VITA the
intention Of presenting it to Henry
Ford.
Six years of labor was required to
make this wonderful motor. Over
twersy- five armatures and armature
shafts Were constructed before one
was perfected, The tiny shoulder
on tae shaft to eliminate end play
are SO small that they can hardly be
discerned without magnifying
glass.
Mr.. Kowalsky also showed a piece
of statuary on which he is working.
This is miniature figure of an In
dian chief and is scarcely four inch :
es high. The body is perfectly
proportioned and the fingers on
the hands are smaller in diameter
than a pin. The minutest detail has
been we'll taken care of. Even the
stitches in the moccasins are dis
cernable under glass. The figure
is not quite completed and already
the. spare minutes of almost five
years have been consumed in the
sculpturing process. All of the
work was done with but a pen knife
as the only tool.
Mr.. Kowalsky conducted an ell
ectrical instruction school here
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings
of this week. He. mas school at
Pipestone where he teaches every
phase of electoral work as applied
to automobiles. Last year he con-
Quoted an instruction school here
and the students were more than
enthusiastic about the training re-
ceived. His work on motor and gen
orator rewinding and repairing can
not be excelled. He showed the class
his original method of rewinding the
Ford generator armature so that il
will not burn out and is selfSyentila =
ted. His course at Fpestone is OF
six weeks duration and several
Sleepy Eye men are thinking SER
iously of taking his course OF
training. " <..

HAS POSITION TO MAINTAIN
Drun-Horse Of British and American
Cavalry Bands Must Be OF Dis
tinguished Appearance.

There are grades Of honor, even
among horses. We are apt to think OF
the war horse as proud animal, and
50 he Is, and has right to be, for he
Is called upon to be as brave as he Is
proud. But prOudest and most dignl'
fed Of gil horses Of the army Is the
animal that Is called upon to I'LL the
position of drum-hOrse In the regimentai
band. In the American and British
armies cavalry bands are mounted, and
the most honorable position In all the
band Is that Of the bearer of the Kettle
drums. The horse is selected for MS
distinguished appearance. He Is often
piebald, altho sometimes pure white.
Something more than mere beauty OF
form Is required Of the drum-horse. He
must be trained until he becomes Dig
nlfied and graceful bearer of the hand
some trapplngs that pertain to his high
calling. His education is severe and
prolonged bringing him up to that point
where his pride and intelligence make
him equal to the duties required OF
him.
lie is severely tried by the booming
of the large drums he carries, but ip
time he becomes Indifferent to their
noise. In the parade, his rider has his
hands full In the use Of the sticks; he
controls the horse by means OF reins
fastened to the stlrrup-strap near the
foot.-Christian Science Monitor.
