Ne" York. Aug. 6. - There are
women in the heart of America to-
day who lead the life OF the 18th
Century.
No lipstick nor rouge, no cleo
trio lights, no high hceled shoes
nor silk stockings for them. The,
burn wood in rude fireplaces, raise
everything they have to eat, and
weave hard Woolers and rough
homespun linens from raw mate
rails. The Bible is their reading
Divorces are unknown. They do
not know the meaning of the word
''feminist' and Career
Bobbel hair is their one sign
Of modernily. But they wear it
not short because it is stylish but
because 1t is convenient.
\ Hill Girl Herself
1t is from this primitive group
OF 'highlanders" in the Tonnes
see mountains thatf Maristan
Chapman. author of THE Happy
Mountain came.
She is really twice thigh And-
err by birth ind by choice. Seven
times, in her 3o-odd years. life has
taken her away. but she always
went back to live among the hill
people. They have type of sim
certify that satisfies abe cxpla ms.
Now, married to Welshman
she met in England during the
war, she has settled near the edge
Of the Cumherlands ito raise
little garden and to write of the
mountains" Asked II her hus-
hand liked the mountains. also,
this hardy little woman said:
Eyes, and the hishlanders like
him, (which is real compliment.
Mrs. Chapman enjoys most Of
all the religion OF timelessness"
as she puts it, of the Tennessee
mountain folk.
1.-THE highlanders will forcgo
material Improvements because
they want time to possess their
souls she elaborated. I'm place
and organization. they have inn
Of the outland gods of efficiency,
asination, simplicity and dignity.
"Thev make a living as simply
as possible. They have plenty to
eat-corn. beans. potatoes, salad
stuffs' such as spinach, lettuce and
Wild things that have medicinal
value. They work their farms.
When children grow up they pair
off and marry and everyone helps
them with their house-raising.
They are not afraid Of silences.
Hjghlanders do not know the
meaning Of small talk They
never speak unless they have
something to say
Few Hardsl,ips
Tales OF the hardships that
mountain women have to bear are
discounted by this woman of the
mountains
Everyone helps a lone woman
either widow or one who has
never married." Mrs. Chapman
said. But naturally she works
her own fields. When you see
woman blowing and reaping. you
know she is a lone woman or
one whose man is ailing."
Another angle on the attitude
towards women was given by MrH.
Chapman when she said:
1T is not the unmarried mother
who IL the shameless woman I 1t
the married woman who has no
children.
"A woman is safe anywhere on
the hills. unless she picks up
snake or meets mountain lion"
A Good Example
Mrs. Chapman feels. In fac:
that the mountain folk could
teach the rest OF America much
In the way Of deep, simple living
and genuine feeling for ones
neighbors.
She fears that the highlarders
may be ruined enventually by the
invasion Of modern civilization.
But " lille they are still "un-
spoiled" this woman Of the noun
tains wants the world to know
these gentle folk as they really
are. And SO she writes of them.

CITIZEN HERE
Gas Expansion Used to
Develop Power In
New Machine, w. "A.
Schultz Asserts

A plan Of utilizing the waste IN
combustion ia gasoline engines has
been developed by W. A. Schultz,
Brownsville inventor. which he says
will revoluticnize the motor indus
try. cutting down the consumption
u gas 70 about one third.
Mr.. Schultz is working on a model
Of the engine now which he says will
be completed for demonstration in
about sixty days. II will be Of six
cylinder construction and will de-
velop about 70 horsepower. Mr..
Schultz predicts that Il viii 60 not
less than r. miles on a gallon Of
gasoline. II will be mounted in a
heavy Studebuker chassis.
The plans show that the engine
burns raw gas in only two cylinders
and the motor has Only two spark
plugs. The manifold leads from
these two cylinders and conducts the
burned gasses TO an accumulation
tank located where The muffler Is
en- an ordinary automobile.
Fro mthis tank il Il passed through
a special air carburetor device which
II is claimed chooses certain gasses
from the air which minEles with the
exhaust gas. The combination re-
turns to the four remaining cylinders
where ID is utilized. This utilization
does not develop power by combus-
tion but through expansion in the
cylinders much in the same way as
the steam chamber OF a locomotive,
the inventor claims.
The engine is air cooled and en-
rlovs entirely new basic principles.
Patents are pending. The first
model. built about five years
ago, had raw gas combustion in but
one chamber: the other four using
the combination. The patents Mr..
Schultz says. apply to ali fields Of
power and as socn as he completes
the automobile model he will start
on an a~irplane model.
Mr.. Schultz was sold IL patents. ne
says. among which are an armature
winding device. now in use, and other
mechanical aids. He holds a patent
dated in 1924 which he claims is the
same thing SIS the recently developed
Aurora Boreaiis demonstration IN
Florida. The idea was not developed
commercially.
The new motor can be applied 70
any chassis and is practically sound
less. emitting only a faint kissing
sound, according to Mr.. Schultz.
