The discovery of gasoline as a motive

the writer points out
He believes the legs will have to act
chiefly as the driving force, as the hands

IN illustrations accompanying his ar
ticle in a technical magazine, Prof
Woltereck pictures the propelled
glider as a biplane, in the center Of the
lower deck of which the flyer sits on a
structure looking much like a bicycle
and driving propeller in the rear.

A fancy that art must dress It's
part seems to us to have got the
best of a too ambitious press agent
for KDKA last night.
Even before we had fought
through the static to hear the
costume" concert of the KDKA
entertainers, these victims OF press
agentry had received our utmost
sympathy.
And we cordially disliked the
little Rabbit OF publicity as we
imagined him settled back in his
seat at Carnegie Hall, reminding
himself and others that success
comes only through suffering.
Heat is nothing to art" we
thought we heard him say to him
self.
We tuned in this concert Of civil
war and other old time melodies
which had been extensively adver-
tised as "costumed absolutely cor
rect in. every DETAIL" with some
difficulty.
When we heard 1t, 1t seemed no
better than II the performers had
been wearing their everyday
clothes.
We were reminded OF the early
days Of broadcasting when, on sui.
try summer evenings, the micro.
phone pioneers we're accustomed
to gather in stuffy studio at
Anacostia and strip for action.
Among them were Charles Ben.

THREE MEN IN THE
HIGHWAY
Percy Withee Rushes
Away and is Hurt
Norridgewock Man Had Thrilling tx.
perlence While on his Way Home
From Work

Percy Withee of Norridgewock had
rather a thrilling experience last Fri
day evening. while on his way home
from the Charles Whittemore farm,
where he had been employed. He
encountered three men standing in
the highway and in driving rapidly
away from them sustained an acct
dent, when his automobile broke thru
bridge Mr.. Withee noted an ap-
preaching car and that the lights were
very bright, he also noted that 1t
swung out to one side of the road and
as he drew nearer found that three
men We're standing beside It, One OF
the men put up his hand to signal
him to stop and the three took their
positions in the road in front of Mr..
Withees car ii Is claimed. The mid
die one, who was quite a large man
wore a grey suit and Mr.. Withee start
ed to slow down, when he suspicioned
that all was not right and increased
the speed of his automobile. nearly
hitting the larger of the men. They
shouted at him but he was unable to
recall anything that was said in his
hasty get away AS he looked around
the car which had been SO brightly
lighted was in darkness. 1t may
have been only a coincidence but Mr.
Withee had been working at the
.Whittemore farm during the summer
and it had been understood that when
his employer sold off his lumber, Mr.
Withee was to be paid for his SER
vices. This was quite generally
known so Mr. Withee says and Mr.
Whittemore on the day OF the Incl
dent related disposed of his lumber
He had not settled with Mr.. Withee
however, as might have been expect
ed On the other hand, 1t may have
been case of someone wishing to
make inquiry from Mr. Withee for a
purely legitimate reason. The acci-
dent happened when the rear end of
his car broke through the bridge
near the residence of John Pyne. He
was able to pull out of this, how
ever. and proceeded TO the home OF
his father. II. S. Withee. Upon ar
irving there he had been SO badly
hurt that he was practically uncon-
scious and had to be taken from the
car by his parents. What appeared
to be another hold-up, within an hour
and a half of Mr.. Withee's meeting
with the men. was reported to have
occurred on the river road.
