KELSEY ATTRACTS
THRONGS AT SHOW
Friction Drive Car without
Gears Excites Much Interest
Among Show Visitors.

Great interest Is being shown in the
temobiie. exhibited on the fourth floor
OF Grand Central Palace. A large force
OF sales representatives are constantly
demonstrating the operation of the car to
thrcngs of spectators.
The Kelsey is made in Newark. y. j..
by the Kelsey Motor Company. with gem
eral Offices at 20 Branford place in that
city. officers OF the company are Ernest
y. Slade, president; c. w. Kelsey, vice.
president and general manager; Thomas
j. Stewart, treasurer, and r. d. Dor
man, secretary.
The big difference in the Kelsey over
all other cars is the construction OF the
rear axle. The standard gear trans
mission. with its eight gears. has been
entirely eliminated. also the clutch, do
ing away entirely with clashing and
stripping Of gears. There arc only two
parts replacing all these gears and COM
pioations-a friction disc and friction
wheel. These two parts give you speed
variations to At every possible road con-
dition. BY simply shifting the friction
wheel across the face of the friction disc
different speeds are obtained, and by
bringing ono in contact with the other
the clutch action is attained. The fric-
iion members are fully inclosed and pro-
tected from dust and water, yet are
easily accessible. This transmission and
clutch system is very powerful. and will
allow you to negotiate the worst possible
road conditions with an ease and smooth
ness that win astound you.
The rear axle looks large. but actually
weighs less than many standard rear
axles OF the same size. 1t is much
stronger and gives a road clearance
og nine inches which makes the car
especially attractive for rough coun,
try use.
The smoothness and even flow OF
power from motor to rear wheels
through the transmission is a revelation

A SILENT ROOF.

have devised a new method of roof con-

INTERESTING LIGHT
=. ON LOCAL HISTORY
IN ELIZABETH PAPER
Reference Made to Colonel John May
and His Founding Of Maysyjlle Is
Made In Boat Building Ed.
tiOn Of Journal.

In Boat Building Edition" of the
Elizabeth Herald, published at Eliz-
abeth, Pa, there appears an interest
ing sidelight on local history which
will be read with great interest by
citizens Of Maysville.
Under the general heading "A Cen
tury Of Boat Building, the journal
says in part:
II will be seen that Elizabeth was
thus from its beginning an important
point on the great highway to the al
most unknown west, many settlers
coming this far overland, buying or
having constructed flat-boatB here, on
which their possessions were stored
water, the Monongahela and Ohio riv-
ers. forming the natural highway. An
interesting sidelight is thrown on the
history at this point by an extract
from the diary of Col. John May, who
journeyed through this region at the
time. He writes under date of May S.
1888, as follows:
IL rose early on the morning OF
Monday. 5th; left the people and wag
on behind and advanced as fast as
possible to finish my land tracks;
dined at Simmerells, on the Yohogana
and slept at Clark's on the Mononga-
hela. While at Simmerells, they used
every stratagem to detain us all night,
and perhaps as long as was General
Putnam, who tarried at this place two
months. They said it was better boat
ing from this river than from the
Monongahela, but they are Irish
palaverers, and the truth Is not In
them. Clark keeps tolerable house
where It is called Elizabeths town,
fourteen miles from Pittsburg, by land
and twenty-five by water. The town is
laid out In house-lots, and now set
tling: he intends to make city OF 1t.
hut think he will have his match.
This day was raised here large shed
for building boats. Almost all the
Kentucky boats from the east pass
this place; near two hundred have
passed this spring"
Col. May was on his way west at
this time. He had taken out a claim
on the Ohio River a few years before,
and the present city Of Maysville, Ken
lucky, is built on it and named in his
honor. A block-house was erected at
the mouth Of Limestone Creek and a
number of lots laid out in 1884. The
town was established by an act Of the
Virginia Legislature in 1887. In 1890
Col. May, while descending the Ohio,
was attacked by Indians, on March 20,
and he and others of his party were
killed, at the mouth Of the Scioto.
There are persons yet living here
who remember a large shed which
stood on Water street, just below the
coal raidroad on Mill street, occupying
parts of the lot where T. ]. Gilmer has
his home and that recently occupied
by A. G. Lewis and family. Keel
boats were built there from very early
times. This may have been the struc-
ture the raising OF which was witness
ed by Col May in 1888. 1t was stand
ing there in 1919 and had been for
some time before 1t was blown down
by the great hurricans of 1881, but
must have been reared again, for per-
some who came on the scene of action
since then remember 1t. But 1t finally
passed away many years ago

LOAN CLOSET OF
HEALTH LEAGUE
GETS DONATIONS
Several Donations Given to Loan
Closet Of Health League By
Local People.

The loan closet Of the Mason Coun-
ty Health League, contents of which
are used in the care Of the sick by the
health nurses, has received several
much appreciated donations during
the last few days. Since many Of the
supplied donated by the Red Cross at
the close Of the war have become worn
and useless with age, these fresh sup
plies are especially welcome. Thanks
are due to the church ladies of Or
angeburg for towels, pillow cases, and
women's night dresses; to the ladies'
of First M. E. Cuhrch, South, for bed
ding and personal attention and serv-
ice to needy people; to individuals
for beautiful new baby garments and
children's night dresses; to the public
school teachers who so faithfully as
sist the health workers; and to hun
dreds Of helpful friends for active CO.
operation, and substantial support Of
the work.
The Health League received a sub
stantial sum from the sale of the
Christmas seals, every cent of which
will be carefully disbursed in the
prevention of disease and care Of the
sick. 1t is greatly to be regretted that
the sum was not large enough to en-
able the league to have the dental
clinic for which we still hope and
work, but the people deserve great
credit for their lberality and whole
hearted cooperation.
