StOeckel Sees Free
 Wheeling Abuses
State Assembly to Consider Mechanics Within Week
 or Two

Legislative action to prevent abuses in the manufacture and use of the new free wheeling devices is suggested by Commissioner of Mo- tor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoeckel. His suggestion is made in bulletin read last night from WTIC, the Travellers station, as one of series presented in the interests of highway safety.
 These bulletins, prepared weekly, were formerly read only on Thurs days, but are now given out at 6 p. m. on Wednesday and again at noontime on Thursdays.
 Entirely aside from the problem of teaching the public to use the new free wheeling appliance" said Commissioner Stoeckel's statement is the question of possible abuses. States and administrators consider it only fair that anything which prom ises the advance in comfort and con- venience which this innovation ap- paretly does be given opportunity to demonstrate it's safety and practica- bility. There will be, without doubt, however, an early attempt by per- sons not directly connected with car manufacture to offer free wheel ing devices which do not actually accomplish all the legitimate pur- poses for which they are intended Already there is free wheeling gear on the market intended to be placed in old cars. One such model would not allow any choice to the operator of the car, if it were installed and he might be obliged to proceed in the free wheeling gears whether or. not he so desired.
 "This whole matter should be %n o%% of 1ncic1a- lures so that development of free wheeling may be directed along the right lines. Any law adopted should have two special provisions. One should require that there be no changing of cars of past manufac- ture by installation of free wheeling except when the type of device is ap- proved by the state. The other pro- vision should be that there must always be within the control of the operator a choice of gears, so that he may proceed either in convention al gear or use the free wheeling gear as he determines is safe and pro- per.
 '.Almost everybody has been taught to proceed downhill with the engine in gear, to use the engine and gears to assist the brake. For Ill6 pIcS0nI, lL lCdoIs tlieSe EeNA eANoAeeA performance needs to be safeguard ed. States will do we'll to foresee that the time may come when en- zine compression and braking power will no longer be available by reason of the elimination of the gear box. Any such final accomplishment ought to be led up to by processes of gradual education. Manufactur- CTS apparently see this, for they are proceeding step at a time, rather than putting out a complete mo gear" car.
 ''The free wheeling question will be considered by the Connecticut general assembly within week or two. It can be expected that there will be expert discussion by engineers of the various manufacturers. It is also hoped that opponents of free wheeling will air their opinions so that the state may come to a rea- sonable conclusion as to what it ought to do about this innovation"

REVOLUTIONARY WAY
 TO ROAST COFFEE USED BY HILLS BROS
Controlled Roasting Just the Opposite of Ordinary Method.

By a radically different roasting process = Controlled Roasting - Hills Bros. give their rare blend a flavor no other coffee has!
 As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow .. little at time .. so the matchless, uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Con trolled Roasting --.the patented process that roasts evenly, continu- ously :. c little at q time. While the coffee passes through the roast CTS, the heat is automatically con- trolled. Any variation in the roast is thus absolutely prevented!
 Such uniformity is not possible by bulk methods. In spite of watch ful care, some of the coffee is roasted too much = some too little. Flavor variation is therefore inevitable.
 As fast as Hills Bros. Coffee is roasted, it is ground and packed in vacuum. By this process, air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken from the can, and kept out. Ordi- nary cans, even if "air-tight," will not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name, and look for the Arab trademark on the can.

contention of American observers, who declare that while Machado has the army on his side his posi- tion is impregnable.
 Army Is We'll Equipped
 The Cuban army is a well-equip- ped force of 12,000 men, probably the largest army in the world in proportion to the population of the country, and it is in the army Machado pins his confidence of crushing at its birth any attempt to unseat him.
 The present situation first be- came acute last October, when the Government suspended constitu- tional guarantees, putting the coun- try under a form of martial law Since then disorders have been frequent, including the explosion of a bomb in the palace in an at tempt to assassinate the President.
 One of the most prominent of the opposition leaders is Dr. Cosme de Ia Torriente, former Cuban Am bassador to Washington and presi- dent of the League of Nations.

SOFT DRINKS GAINING

LISBON, Aug. 28.-Soit drinks are becoming increasingly popular in Portugal, the fieatwaves this year having created an extraordi- nary demand for lemonades, ices and "carapinhadas,t made of fruit juice and crushed ice.
 Grape growers see in this a chance to displace beer from Por- tugals drink bill and substitute for 1t something more truly national.
 A suggestion which seems likely to be adopted is that "agua pc" should be chosen. This is an almost ron- alcoholic drink made by ad-' ding water to the crushed grape residue after the most has been extracted for wine

REVOLT IN CUBA IS ASCRIBED TO
 MANY CAUSES
Dissatisfaction with Mach ado and Low Sugar
 Main Troubles

HAVANA, Cuba, Aug. 28-- The
 latest attempt by revolutionaries to
 dislodge the Cuban government,
 particularly President Machado, is the climax of series of false alarms that have been agitating the sugar island since the abortive Christmas Eve plot was thwarted by the regime.
 To close student of Cuban af- fairs the most recent outbreak is no surprise, as the leaders of the opposition, centering around the National Union, have shown in no uncertain terms that they are dis satisfied with the preset incum- bent in the presidential chair.
 Among the manifold wrongs they have charged to President Ma chado are the suppression of free dom of speech, the usurpation of the Presidency and the institution of reign of terror
 Harsh With Newspapers
 It is a matter or record that the President has been harsh with newspapers that uttered criticism of the Government and that he has dealt in tyrannical manner with certain members of the oppo- sition who dared to challenge his right to the office he holds. But close observers lay the responsi- bility for revolutionary activities to Cuba's present poverty, which isl tantamount to laying the blame on the broad shoulders of the world trade depression, the decline of sugar prices to a point below the cost of production being the cause of Cuba's hard times.
 As far as the legality of Prcsi- dent Machado's position is con- cerned, one can only give the facts. Machado was elected in 1924, for four-year term as provided by the Constitution. After repeatedly de- claring that he would not be for reelection. he con- solidated all the political parties behind him and, in 1927, the Cu- ban Congress, which he controlled, | the Constitution, cxtcnd- ing the Presidential term to six years.
 All Nominated Macha1o
 Thcreupon all three parties nomi- | mated General Machado for re- election. He accepted, and started | another six years in office on the of his four-year term.
 These are the facts and legal | in the ranks of the opposition maintain that the Con l 'titution was illegally amended and | hat hence General Machado is not | egally President.
 Due to the latest outbreak, in which many were killed and | many wounded, the provinces of pinar del Rio and Havana have oeen placed under martial law. In he former province seventeen Cubans were arrested md charged as revolutionists.
 Among them were Fausto and Iuatimon Menocal, brothers of President General Mario Menocal, Mayito Menocal, a son of the General, and the General himself.
