What to do with the wasteful,
costly and annoying transmission
I'm the gasoline-propelled motor car
has been already answered in the
bus field, and there appears to be
no reason why it should not be
answered by the gasoline-electric
combination in the passenger car
field.
In the so-called gasoline-electric
drive transmission and differential
are done away with. 1t Is not
even necessary to have clutch.
The car is controlled by means OF
three things: Steering gear, accel-
orator and brakes.
A gasoline engine of the conveE-
tional type operates a generator,
the current output of which is
fed to two electric motors. each of
which operates a rear wheel
through an independent propeller
shaft, piAionp gear and ring gear.
Easy to Operate.
With so simple an arrangement.
C is evident that all the driver has
90 do in order to start the car
going is to step on the g;Is until
the generators output reaches a
point where it can overcome iner-
tia, or the tendency of the machine
TO remain at rest. AS the car
GAINS momentum, the wheels turn
faster for a given engine speed.
This is exactly the effect obtained
with a mechanical, magnetic or
friction transmission, except that it
Is virtually automatic, remarkably
smooth and perfect In regard to
what is known as the powel-load
relationship.
With q mechanical transmission
even Of the preselective, electric en-
gagement kind, it is possible for
the driver tostrain the gasoline en-
gine by not giving it sufficient
speed to handle the load with ease.
With the friction drive. formerly
found on the Cartercar and the
Kelsey, q great variety.of engine-lQad
combinations were possible, but at
the same time the engine could
be strained IL the driver did not
move the transmission lever to
the most logical position for each
car speed or load condition. Even
with the magnetic drive. it was nee
mission lever on the steering post,
and trouble followed IL this was
not operated wisely.
How simple the gasoline-electric
drive principle Is may be judged
BY watching an operator Of a

pany bus in action. When he
starts off he accelerates the engine

when the driver of a conventional
car releases his foot from Sthe
clutch suddenly.
The p. r. T. is particularly enthu
siastic over the safety possibilities
Of it's new type Of bus. Drivers
can keep both hands on the steer
ing wheel and let the car itself
worry over the details Of trans
mitting the power.
Electricity and gasoline may thus
be combined for safety's as well
as efffciency's sake.

SWIFT AWARDED
COVETED STOb|E
PRIZE BY LEGION

Raymond w. Swift was awarded
the Robert Stobie trophy for the
year 1925 at the regular meeting of
the George N. Bourque post of the
American Legion last evening. The
announcement of the winner was
made by Commander WEIGH and it
was greeted with much applause.
Robert Stobie, who each year pre-
sents the trophy, a beautiful gold
watch emblazoned with the insignia
OF the Legion, to that member who
mas worked the hardest and who has
oone the most to uphold the ideals of
the organization, was present at the
meeting and he was accorded an en-
thusiastic reception.
In the presentation speech Com
rade WEIGH said the trophy was. in
his mind, the greatest honor that
could be bestowed upon any member,
even greater than that of being COM
mander. In calling Comrade Swift
to the front he said that it was with
the greatest of pleasure that he pre-
sented the trophy.
Comrade Swift in accepting the
watch said that it was a great sur
prise to him that he should have
been elected winner and that he had
always considered it the most coyet-
ed honor that 1t was within the DOW
er Of the post to bestow. He told of
coming to Waterville somewhat more
than two years ago and of becoming
a member Of the local post. Mr..
Swift said that he, had had the Le-
gion at heart since the close of the
world war and he believed it to be
the duty of every ex-service man to
be member. In closing his short
talk he said that he thought the five
other nominees for the trophy more
eligible than he but that in the fu-
ture he would do his best for the post
and for the Legion.
Following the business meeting
which was shorter than usual the
annual Christmas party was held. At
the tree was Wallace Breard who
was a most realistic Santa Claus and
he presented to each member a gift.
Much enjoyment was had over the
awarding Of the turkey. the holder of
the lucky ticket being presented with
the 81 pound bird.
Refreshments Of crackers, fancy
cakes, cheese, sweet and sour pickles.
hot coffee and cold drinks were sery-
ed. DR.. r. T. Turcotte was the chair
man of the general committee and he
was assisted by Comrades Harry w.

Fined $40 for
Assault and Battery.

Mike 9Sevisky of this city pleaded
not guilty to charge of assault and
battery on his wife, Amila Sevisky,
when he was arraigned in the Wa
terville municipal court yesterday
morning before Recorder A. J. Lee
tourneau. He was found guilty and
was sentenced to pay q fine Of $40
and costs OF 5000 or to serve 80 days
in Jail. The fine and costs were
paid by the wife, who had a short
time before signed the warrant for
his arrest.
Mrs. Sevisky testified that her
husband was striking his son when
she interfered and that then Sevis-
ky turned on her and struck sew
eral blows. She also said that he
had been drinking.
Sevisky in his defense said that
he had struck the boy but that he
had not touched his wife. He denied
that he had been drinking. yelling
ton T. Reynolds, chief of the Wins
low police department, said that he
had made the arrest and that Sevis-
ky appeared to have been drinking
at the time.

no benefit accruing to the state or
to any individual of the state"
The speaker also declared himself
in favor OF large power sites and he
urged that strenuous efforts be made
to interest industries in locating in
this state on account of its being
possible for them to obtain cheaper
power than would be the case if
they were located outside the state.
Mr.. Hegarty emphasized the ad-
yahtages Of an inter connecting pow
er system and he named a number
of instances where 1t Is already in
use.
Massachusetts is the logical mar
ket for Names surplus power but
do not be misled by the idea that it
is only necessary to build high
tension line to Massachusetts and
customers will be waiting to be net
ted like trout at a hatchery"
The speaker was of the impression
that if the people OF Maine hold out
too long their market will disappear
and he spoke of the recent combina-
ton of number Of large companies
in New York and Massachusetts for
their mutual advantage. At the
present time, he said, manufacturers
who are large users Of power are
locating on the st. Lawrence and
Sagunay rivers, where they are pur-
chasing cheap power and he pointed
out that the power developed by the
Niagara was the cheapest in the
world.
His closing words were: ut is a
part Of the fitness Of life that we
should live and participate in the
things that God has endowed for our
benefit. Let us make the most of
these gifts. Let us obtain the mar
ket necessary for the development of
our vast natural resources. Let us
make Maine the state and let us do
1t before it is too late"

Elm City Boys
Club Holds Annual
Meeting Monday

The annual meeting of the Water
vile Boys Club was held at the club
house on Temple street last evening.
Directors for the next three years
were elected as follows: Rev. E. A.
Pollard Jones. Cyril NJ. Jolly, George
A. Johnson, w. H. Bowden and George
D. Hegarty.
At meeting Of the directors next
Monday evening the officers for the
coming year will be elected.
The report of J. Frank Goodrich, SUI
perlntendent of the club, was heard
with much interest. Mr.. Goodrich
pointed out the advantages Of the club,
especially as a means of lessening
crime In the younger generation and he
expressed the hope that each contrib
utor to the club fund would acouaint
himself with his investment,
In speaking of membership he said:
Our membership for the year is SS5
boys. Our record of attendance for
all who entered the building is 41,2s4,
giving us q daily average of 100 for
the days that the club was open. I
may add that our daily average up to
the closing in May was 1856 and our
average from September until the pres
emit time 1913. This is a good indica-
tlon, to me at least, that the boys
club Is increasing in popularity among
the boys"
The physical training department of
the club Is one of the most popular,
said MT. Goodrich, and during the last
year >29,111 boys have taken part in
some branch of athletics. The depart
ment is in charge of George Bern
hardt, popular athlete at Colby Col
lege, and he conducts classes each
night Of the week. besides coaching the
various teams. Basketball is the ma
1or sport of the club and the teams
In this sport last year were very sue
cessful esss
OF the game rooms Mr.. Goodrich
SAID: The game rooms with their pool
tables. card rooms, checkers and nu-
merous other games, are always a
pusy place. During the senior eve
nings in the gymnasium this depart
ment is taxed to capacity and it is here
that the little fellows find so much to
do. Mr.. Armstrong has this depart
ment in charge"
The library is another part of the
ciup Wnlch ii put to much use, Mr..
Goodrich said, and hardly an evening
goes by but what there are from % to
30 boys there. He told of the interest
which has been shown in the club and
during the last year there have been
ABOUT $50 visitors. Some Of these peo-
pie were from other cities and thew
spoke OF the club very highly. In
closing his report Mr.. Goodrich thank
ed all those who had helped the club
or who had assisted him in his work
in any way.

Apparently the wheat market was
