Dream Invention

Lester j. Henderson, Of Pitts
burgh is said to have perfected a
fuelless motor, and whether he has
or not, some hardheaded business
men are sufficiently impressed with
its demonstration to form q COM
pany for developing it.
Not the least romantic part Of
the discovery lies in the report that
the one essential principle came to
him in a dream.
To dream such a thing is not so
remarkable or anomalous as it ap-
pears at first glance
When a man has studied a sub
ject as long and intensely as Mr..
Henderson, did this one, he accu-
mulates a vast amount of sub-con-
scious knowledge on which his mind
works automatically

Where Is the HOrSe2

The rapidity with which the auto
industry has grown. especially in
this country, and the ease with
which all trades and classes have
readjusted themselves show what
can be done with the most revolu-
tionary invention.
Thirty years ago most everyone
had a horse or rode in horse drawn
vehicles. The auto was regarded as
just another of those impractical
fancies with which dreamerS like
to trifle.
Today there is probably not one
person in twenty who knows how
to harness a horse, yet one in every
five operates an automobile.

The Rules

The Rules
/. The idea Of letter golf is to
change one word to another and
do it in par, or a given number of
strokes. Thus, to change COW to
HEN in three strokes, COW, HOW,
HEW, HEN.
2. You can change only one let
ter at a time.
3. You must have complete word
of common usage for each jump
Slang words and authorizations don't
count.
4. The order of letters can not be
changed.

Motor Without Fuel

If the synthetic diamond would
cause so much commotion, what
about the fuelless motor
The fuelless motor seems absurd
until you recall that electricity is
collected, not manufactured.
If cold stream of water whirl-
ing cold copper and iron around
each other can generate heat. light
and power, what is there SO pre-
posterouS in the assumption that
the force they collect and give off
might be developed in a quieter
way?

mighty unusual comes along to
entice him back to the game.
Cobb, who came to Washington to
get some OF his not uncomfortable
income tax matters Strengthened
out with Uncle Sam. told friends he
did not know where he was going to
be the coming season. He may not
be in the game at all, he said, and
certainly not as player unless some
magnate breaks out in a rash Of
real money.
'"The fact that Connie Mack
still carries me on the reserve
list means nothing" Cobb said.
I'm q 1O-year man."
Cobb said he would like to con-
tinue his associatfcQ with baseball
in an owners capacity. but has moth

A managers berth, either bench
or playing, does not appeal to him.
