fit Of same, most of the money go

the work and by the time the &C.

that Governor Erickson immedi-

AIR DRIVEN AUTO
Is DEMONSTRATED

Los Angeles, Oct. 49, Roy J.
Myers, inventor, drove about Los
Angeles today in an automobile
propelled by air instead of gaso-
line.
After six years of research work
Myers proved yesterday 10 a skep-
teal group of engineers that his
scheme was practical by driving
his automobile more than 100
miles on one thankful of compress
ed air.
A six cylinder radial type en-
CINE mounted in the place of the
usual gasoline motor, connected
with a tank containing 500 pounds
of air, furnished the motive power.
The air goes through the motor,
forcing pistons up and down in the
same manner as a gasoline engine.
Much of the air is recaptured and
recompressed by a motor attach
ment.
To circumvent the cooling of the
air by decomposition the tank is
heated electrically by a generator,
also attached to the motor. The
heating, Myers pointed out, ex-
pands the air and thus increases
the power.
The car is without gears, being
opearted only by the opening and
closing of a valve. Although it
was geared down to a maximum of
35 miles per hour today, it can
develop much greater speeds, he
said.
Myers hopes to develop an air
plane motor on the same principles
The safety factor would increase
with the use of gasoline obviated,
he pointed out.

DEPRESSION REMEDIES ARE
FOUND AT LAST

president HOOVER appointed committee on
unemployment whose duty it was to investi-
gate the unemployment situation, report and rec
ommend relief remedies. This committee has now
published its findings and recommendations.
Recommendation No. L. United
tional action to encourage every American
citizen now employed to resume normal
buying
Recommendation No. g. Public conf
dence in our financial and credit structures
must be re-established Withdrawals of
money from circulation for boarding seri-
ously restrict credit and operate to delay
business recovery.
But what is the use in going any further until
we get to the tenth:
Recommendation No. TO- AS a special
emergency measure for this winter, sur
vey should be made of the possibility for
transfer of surplus labor from cities to
farms, on work-for-keep and Corr other
basis, with view to supplying help need
ed IN agrarian sections, but unavailable be-
cause of lack of financial strength, and 10
relieve pressure upon urban relief agencies
Farm Board-Conclusion No. TO- The
proposal for survey of the potential alb
sorption by farms this winter of surplus
city idle not only will have the effect of
enlisting the greatest farming population
IN the campaign to relieve distress among
unemployed and thereby decrease pressure
upon urban agencies, but such transfer
has wide possibilities for economic return
The committee has had reports from
many sections that temporary homes would

farms In return for assistance in farm
work, and in some cases with moderate
cash competition.
Except for the difficulty of phvsicaI
transfer, the cost of which where neces-
sary, should be borne by the relief agencies.
the aggregate absorption might be great.
The committee is informed that in virtual
ly every farming community a considera-
Die amount of essential Improvement has
oeen postponed from year to year because
OF lack OF cash for wages. Aside from
such waiting work, many absentee owners
are described as willing to turn over acre
age and home, with adequate supplies
Tor the winter just to be assured of safe
and proper tenancy and guardianship for
their property
Moreover, as class, farmers are Justly
noted for their broad and generous human
itarianism. Seldom lacking themselves in
the basic necessities of life, they respond
Immediately in sympathy with the fellow
human actually in need of food and shelf
er. Coupled as our suggestion is with an
easily recognized business proposal, we are
confident the reply will be a. stirring af-
firmative from the farm sections.
And this is what you get from a committee

thought or recommendation. All it amounts to is

Recommended Increase in Salary to One Clerk, Because She Is Doing the Work of Three De- partments - Compares Salaries With Other Places
PAY OF OTHERS
 IS THAT ALLOWED

In making up the budget this year the finance board had its ini- tial experience in laying out the
 appropriations for the office of the town clerk as to salaries and the like. The result has been that q scale of salaries and wages for the officials and help has been fig ured which is included in the 1882 budget now before the aldermen for final adoption. This change In procedure was made possible under the new charter adopted by the last session of the legislature, which contained a provision plac- ing the town clerk on q salary, an other provision diverting all fees into the town treasury and still another clause letting the city fath- CTS as a whole fix the amount of remuneration for help in the town clerks department.
 Under the budget as now set up the town clerk, Dora A. Egan. is to receive a salary of $6,600. or course, she, like the other city of ficials, has agreed to take a 10 per cent cut in cooperation with Mayor Frank Hayes economy pro- gram. The budget also sets up salary of $2,340 for Miss Lucy Minnahan, the assistant town clerk. This is few hundred dollars less than the $3,000 salary proposed for Miss Minnahan in Miss Egan's proposed budget submitted to the board of finance.

 PAST RECORDS
Seeks Third Term as Mayor of NewburypOrt, Something That Never Has Been Done

Newburyport. Mass. Dec S- (UP)-"Bossy" Gillis to-day sought q third successive term-something which Newburyport voters never have granted mayor. In the mu. nicipal election, the chunky, fiery tempered ex-sailor was opposed by Gayden w. Morrell, a prosperous shoe manufacturer 10 years his senior. who represented the conser- vative element which has constant ly opposed Bossy.
 Morrill, bested Mayor Gillis by 921 votes in the six-cornered pri- mary contest last month. but the mayor expected to marshal enough support to win to-days battle by a slim margin. When Bossy was re- elected in 1880 his majority over former Mayor Michael Cashman was only 40 votes.
 During his four years as mayor, Bossy has treated his home town to many Il sensation. For a while he directed the city's affairs from Essex county Jail in salem while serving sentence for violating the Newburyport zoning ordinance.
