scribed to the Society Of Automotive

mission has required seven years.
Because with ordinary gear shift
cars, the driver never operates con-
tinuously at the most efficient re-

wheels, M. de Lavaud claimed that
the automatic transmission will in

This automatic transmission is
combined with a gearless differen-

A long transmission shaft is
driven directly from the engine and
rotates an inclined inertia hub"
which changes the rotation of the
shaft into reeiprocating motion.
Connecting the inertia hub with
the drive of the rear axle are rods
which, by acting on roller ratchets,
translate the back and forth thrusts
into rotary motion applied by the
axles to the wheels.
The trick of the transmission
consists in the variation of the in
clination of the inertia hub with the
engine torque and road resistance

BY ROBERT BEARD

Silence may be golden, but two

man you wash shirts for does not

Sarah Wood, r. r.. 6, Box SAB, near
Edgewood.
Mrs. Wood, mother Of eleven and
with tl1irty-three years of married
life behind her, pondered on these
things today while she and police
wondered, dubiously5 if her husband,
Gilbert L. Wood, so, really did
commit suicide Thursday.
A note in his clothes found on the
illinois Central bridge over the
White river said Wood ended his
life in the river because of domestic
difficulties.
1--WE had them all right" Mrs.
Wood admitted, "but I don't think
Gilbert took his life. I can't help
but think he has run away from
me and the children"
On her complaint, Wood twice
was summoned into court for nom

HE hadn't spoken word to me

she said, "than to live and wonder

New York, Oct. s R1Plans to

heated and cooled by the same gas
fire, are being developed by the
American Gas association.
The projected house is normal
size. with probably eight rooms.
for experimental purposes. Its To-
cation has not been fixed. but Is
likely to be in the midwest. The
objective is to work out the pos
sible economic practicability of
houses heated and cooled by pro-
cesses which now exist mainly as
laboratory experiments.
The windows Ct the house will
be used for daylight, but not for
ventilation. The plan is to make
them air-tight except for such occa-
sions az window washing. The
doors will be somewhat of the bank
safe pattern. If stepped edges in
sufficient numbers to be virtually
air-tight. One reason for the VIM
dow closing is laboratory discov-
cry that In an artificially regulat-
ed room a random draught such IS

dow can cause virtual rain In the
room. Ven,ilator ducts are planned
to care for foul air at all times.
Another novelty Is insulation Of
the entire house. calculated to re-
quire about 80 per cent less heat
ing energy than in similar unin-
sulated dwelling. The insulation
will be equivalent to the protection
afforded by one and a half inches
of cork. 1t may be chosen from

from eel grass from Boston harbor

sprayed on by air gun. with sodium
silicate as a binder. The paper in

heating and the cooling plants at
first will be separate. but it is
planned finally to combine them in
one plant.
Underlying the experiments the
scientific principle is based on the
use Of ammonia. the boiling point
of which is q degrees below zero.
In cold weather this property CT
ammonia will be used to absorb

PECULIAR flavor
FULLY EXPLAINED
Different Tastes in Milk Due to
Light Rays

Washington. Oct. 8 @ - The
cardboard" taste and ''linseed- oil"
odor which frequently develop in
milk kept in the Outdoor icebox"
during cold weather are usually
caused by the chemical action of
the longer light rays which pene-
trate the contraption.
The remedy suggested by William
G. Frazier. of the agriculture de-
partment's bureau of dairy indus
try. is to keep the milk In the
dark. The consumer. he found. 10
likely to blame the milk distributor
for this Objectionable flavor when
the responsibility probably rests
with his own more or less open box
on the window sill or in his habit
of placing the milk bottles on the
sill itself.
The investigation was made with
samples OF milk of cows selected
from the experiment farm OF the
bureau at Baltsville. Nd, which
were being fed on different con-
trolled rations. and established that
the animals food had nothing to
do with causing the cardboard"
taste.
The milk was exposed to diffused
rather than direct sunlight in vari-
GUS types Of containers, absolving
the ultra violet rays from blame.
The defect. it was learned, develops
more rapidly In pasteurized than In
raw mink, a condition which was
explained as being caused probably
by the action Of the heat in render
ing the fat particles more suscepti-
bic to oxidation when exposed to
the light rays.

The old Columbia river, on its
biggest rampage since 1918, has
apparently reached its crest for the
season, stopping only few inches
short of overlooking its banks and
doing considerable damage to the

of the past week slowed up the run
off of snow in Canada and Montana
but heavy rains, in some instances
reaching the proportions of cloud

for the loss Of snow water.
