LOS ANGELES, May 1l.-Grav.
ity can be overcome by the newly
discovered Odic ray, Edgar l.. Hol
lingshead, who maintains a labora'
tory at Pasadena, declared in an in
terview today.
The Odic ray proves that electric
itt is an element, or substance, jnst
as wood, with a definite atomic
speed, he said after 20 years of
study.
BY use of the Odic ray any metal
can be made to have lighter
weight than any known gas without
in any way changing its strength.
BY, use of its radiation a photo
graph can be taken through llH
inches of solid lead and 81 inches
of solid steel, With five seconds ex-
posure.
1.-THE new fay,' he told the
United Press today, sis based on
the theory that electricity is an ele'
ment or substance, with q definite
atomic speed. Electricity is made
up Of two currents, voltage and am
perage. The odic ray is made by
breaking up the force of amerage.
Explains Theory
'To every force there must be q
counterpart, and the counteracting
force to the flow of gravitation is
the force of the anatomic speed OF
matter.

New Buying Plan
for FOrdS Causes
Much Comment

The nationwide announcement of
the Ford Weekly Purchase plan has
been greeted enthusiastically every
where, according to reports receiv'
ed by Ford dealers. 1t is being ac-
cepted rs new and forward look
ing move in the marketing of auto
mobiles.
That it will benefit millions of
families and have most salutarv
effect upon the auto buying public
goes almost without saying, as it
places something of new light
upon motor ear ownership wherein
the purchaser is able to avail him
self of this modern necessity.
For some time past Ford deal.
crs have been selling ears and
trucks upon what is known as the
deferred payment plan in which
the purchaser makes a substantial
initial payment, secures his car and
completes the payment for it in reg
ular installments, say Edgar broth
ers, local distributors for Ford cars.
Now comes the Ford weekly
purchase plan which will make it
possible for additional millions to
own and operate motor ears, rs un-
der the terms of the plan as little
as $500 will start anyone toward
the ownership of Ia Ford car, Ford
truck or Fordson tractor. This in
itial payment, as well as all subse-
quent payments, will be deposited
ito the customer credit in a local
bank and draw interest at the reg
ular savings rate.

New Odic Ray Can. Overcome
Gravity, Says Its DiscOverer

: "My experiments have shown
that the .odic ray acts TO increase
the speed of the whirlng atoms of
substances without changing the
substance. When this anatomic speed
is great enough it Overcomes grav
ty entirely and when the handling
of the ray is perfected solid matters
can be made to float off into space
like feather.
"The principle Is the same as
cyclone. When 4 cyclone sets up re-
isstance to gravitation solid matter
floats around in the air and literal

of gravitatiOn which held ii to the
ground has been overcome.

that now she must wish the converse
ton to end, he got UP. She rose
stiffiy.

Neither spoke, as he went with her
into the next car; and at the section
where her father sat, Eaton bowed
silently, nodded to Avery, who coldly
returned his nod, and left her. Eaton
went on into his own car and sat
down, his thoughts in mad confusion.
How near he had come to talking
TO this girl about himself, even though
he had felt from the first that that
was what she was trying to make him
do! Was he losing his common sense ?
Was the self-command on which he
had so counted that he had dared TO
take this train deserving him? He
felt that he must not see Harriet
Dorne again alone. In Avery he had
recognized, by that instinct which so
strangely divines the personalities one
meets, an enemy from he start ::
Dorne's attitude toward him, of
course, was not yet defined; as for
Harriet Dorne-he could not tell
whether she was prepared to be his
enemy or friend.
Eaton went into the mems compart-
ment of his car, where he sat smOk-
ing till after the train was under way
again. The porter looked in upon
him there to ask if he wished his berth
made up now; Eaton nodded assent.
and fifteen minutes later, dropping
the cold end of his cigar and going
out into the car, he found the berth
ready for him. A half hour later the
passage of someone through the aisle
and the sudden dimming of the crack
of light which showed above the cur
tains told him that the lights in the
car had been turned down. Eaton
closed his eyes, but sleep was far
from him.
Presently he began to feel the train
beginning to labor with the increasing
grade and the deepening snow. 1t was
nearing the mountains and the wealth
er was getting colder and the storm
more severe. Eaton lifted the curtain
from the window beside him and
leaned on one elbow to look out. The
train was running through a bleak,
white desolation; no light and no sign
of habitation showed anywhere. The
events of the day ran through his
mind again with sinister suggestion.
He had taken that train for a certain
definite, dangerous purpose which re-
quired his remaining as obscure and
as inconspicuous as possible; yet al
ready he had been singled out for at
tention. SO far, he was sure, he had

William Shakespeare's vocabulary

needed only 5000 different words for
Paradise Lost" while the Old Tesla
ment has fewer than 5000 different
words. Some people use only about
500 different words, and most of us
get along with between 1000 and
1900. A few years ago some peasants
in rural England, farm laborers, were
found who used about 800. Prof Max

ton, curiosity concerning hin. He
had not suffered recognition; but that
might come at any moment. Could he
risk longer waiting to act?
He dropped on his back on the bed
and lay with his hands clasped under
his head, his eyes staring up at the
roof of the car.
In the card-room of the observation
car, playing and conversation still
went on for time; then it dimin-
ished as one by one the passengers
went away to bed. Connery, looking
into this car, found it empty and the
porter cleaning up; he slowly passed
on forward through the train, stopping
momentarily in the rear Pullman op-
posite the lerth of the ,assenger
whom President Jarvis had commend
ed to his care. His scrutiny of the
'.nr told him all was correct here: the

Eaton realized that it was very cold

which was standing still, had been in

through. Though he knew by Presi

ress OF this especial train with par

the telegraph wires to the west had
gone down. To the east communica-

here In the deep heart of the great

wallowing forward to the rotary still
farther to the front, and the sight con-

this halt was more important and
likely to last much longer than those
that had gone before.
