Nearest Thing to Perpet- ual Motion Ever Wit messed - George Gib- son, Engineer, Is In-. ventOr
BY DELOS SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent)


 United Press Staff Corrcspondent)
 New York, Dec - GU. P.) = The nearest thing to mans oldest and most futile dream-perpetua motion--was on exhibition at Grand Central Palace to-day.
 The machine produces power without fuel or human aid. Engin- eers said 1t was so near to perpet- ual motion that only an engineer could understand why it wasn't. 1t was part of the national exposi- ton of power and mechanical en- gineering.
 George H. Gibson, engineer. em- ployed by Philadelphia manufac- turer of power plants, explained he threw the machine together" be- cauce engineers have a great deal of time on their hands in times of depression.
 The machine works on a ther- modynamic principle, utilizing wa ter and vapor to produce its pow CT. The vapors are invisible to the machine apparently operates with out source of energy. Engineers explained the chief reasons 1t was not perpetual motion was that its parts would wear out and that it could be stopped.
 The machine has two sets of con- nected glass coils, one above the other. At the top of the top coil and at the side of the lower one, are glass bulbs which are independ ently connected. The lower bulb is kept half filled with water. Inside the upper bulb is small turbine ", l, the upper coil is wrapped with cheese cloth which is kept moist by the simple expedient of keeping it's end immersed in a glass of water, just as wick.
 Evaporation from this moist chee=e cloth cools the coil and al- lows the water vapor from the wa ter bulb at room temperature to condense inside the wrapped coil. On the way from the water bulb to the wrapped coil and vapor turns the turbine wheel inside the top bulb. The condensing vapor be- comes steady trinkle of water into the lower coil where it ab- ,sorbs heat, approaches room tenn perature again, and rises to the wa ter bulb to repeat the cycle. Gibson viewed his invention with amused tolerance.s He explained he

Firing Husband

Wife Urged Jail Sentence With Advice to Throw
 Away Cell Key" After Mate Had Been Locked Up

When Mrs Milford Davis of Bishop street speaks regarding her present sentiments concerning her husband, she leaves no doubt in the minds of Judge John F. Me- Grath and other city court offi- ciais as to where she stands. how she feels or cares relative to pun ishment for her efstwhile life part ner. Davis. well known among the colored residents of Bishop street and vicinity as a barber. was in court this morning on the charge of failing to obey the court order paying Mrs Davis a stipulated sum weekly for her support and that of their child.
 "If he doesn't want to support his own child then lock him up in jail and throw the key away" exclaimed Mrs Davis with plenty of indignation.
 Judge McGrath was inclined to
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-12-06

follow the first part of her liistruc- tions. but intended to leave the matter of throwing the key away to tho discretion of High Sheriff James Geddes. When the stage seemed set for the execution of the jail sentence, counsel for Da- wis interceded with the request for one more chance to make good Release this man for one hour and he will borrow or beg s5 from friends and relatives and pay Mrs Davis this weeks allowance"
 Five dollars to Mrs Davis was more important than just another lodger at the count bastile ,so Judge McGrath suspended the execution of the sentence to per init Davis to appeal to his friends. If he fails to make good in the future he will risk the official wrath of the court. As for Mrs Davis, he knows her sentiments.

View Upheld by Lawyers.
This view is upheld by great many
lawyers many of whom also insist that
a simple repeal of the VolStead act by
majority vote would be possible without
bringing up the question OF the eight
teenth amendment at all. While this
repeal could be done, the chaotic condi-
tions that might result from having no
liquor regulation at all would deter
Congress from taking such step. The
chances are all in favor OF Congress
making some definition Of what it be-
lieves to be intoxicating and prohibit

Senator Bingham of Connecticut
Republican, insists that a 4 per cent
beer bill would never be declared un-
constitutional. But it is evident that
the extreme repealists will not be salts

act Many of them look upon this step
now as merely a device to delay repeal

they cast their votes in Congress against
modification of the Volstead law in

eighteenth amendment? If they did
then these extreme wet votes, plus the

WRITER SEEKS PROGRAMME"
OF LAST INAUGURAL BALL
Readers of Star Asked Aid History With Relic of March
a, 1909, When Taft Ceremony Was Held.

Mark Sullivan, widely known political
writer and a correspondent Of The Star,
has issued an appeal to readers of The
Star for a copy of the dance program of
the Inaugural Ball held March 4. 1909,
when William Howard Taft became
President.
Mr., Sullivan can be reached in care
of the Editor of The Star. His letter
follows:
To Readers Of The Star:
Does any reader of The Star happen
to have, pasted in a scrap book or
stored away in a trunk in the attic
copy of the dance programme" OF the

came President. on March 4, 1909? I
should like to have one to use as An
illustration in the history 1 am writing
of Our Times"
Considerable historical interest at
taches both to the Taft ball itself and
to the program of dances. The ball was
the last of the inaugural balls, and when
it came to an end, with the playing of
THE Star Spangled Banner" at what
was for the average American young
person even as recently as 1909 the
rather advanced hour of 1 O'Clock on
the morning of the fifth. there came TO
an end also an unusually gracious and
glamorous and ancient American insti-
tution-one that reached from the in
andescent-lighted 1900's, through the
natural gas and kerosene eras, on back
into the far-paSt candle Lighted begin
nings of the Republic. The first inau-
gural ball was held in New York on May
g. 1889, a week after George Washing
ton took the oath of office as first
President.
The dance program used at the Taft
ball was a last" and one having
enough social significance to justify go

reasonable accessible form for the con-
venience of future delivers into Amer
ican lore and tradition. More aptly
than the usual milestone which the
historian uses to mark the end of one
era and the beginning of another, this
propgram constitutes a dividing line
between the older America and the
modern one. Already in 1909 the earli-
est Of the new" dances, importations
from abroad and outgroWths of Negro
syncopations, had made their appear
ance, but were yet far from achieving
to the status which would permit their
intruding upon so respectable a func-
tion as an inaugural ball. The list
of dance pieces played at the ball is
given in The Star of March 5, 1909.
On it appears only waltzes and two
steps, with one promenade" So
