Visioning Auto of Future
Full Streamlning With Considerably More Efficiency
in Engines, Is the Forecast; Scientist Doubts
Planes Will Take Place of Motors.

Every year the automobile shows
turn our thoughts TO next years cars.
But motor manufacturers, unless I
am much mistaken, are at heart more
concerned with the cars of two, three
or even four years hence. II MAX
ers did not habitually look far ahead,
the time would come when "next
years models" showed no changes at
all except In body work.
Builders are experimenting with
single-pedal control, with small en-
gines producing even greater horse
power, and similar developments Of
the near future. Let US look at the
car of ten, twenty and even fifty
years hence.
The first objection that will be
raised is: "Cars will not be used in
1884; every one will travel by air
plane" l do not anticipate that fly
ing viii make such strides, Prof. A.
NJ. Low, British scientist and author,
writes, in the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. We have first TO establish
the plane which can descend and as
cend vertically, to overcome entirely
certain weather conditions such as
fog, and to find a way of getting
more power from our fuel For
many years flying will call for
lengthy training, and l put the time
when the ordinary man will know
how to land his plane on his own
roof or in a gale at more than fifty
years ahead.
Until this time motor cars will be
necessary. In my opinion they will
remain universally popular for jour-
neys of less than 100 miles, especial
ly as the average speed rises. But
their character will change COM
pletely.
The first thing we shall notice
about this car of the future is its
shape. 1t will be as carefully stream
lined as an ocean liner. There is no
great inducement TO streamline cars
at the moment, for air resistance
does not begin to count appreciably
at low speeds, and the number of
persons who wish TO travel 80 miles
per hour on our roads is small COM
pared with those who drive comfort
ably at % miles per hour.
In the future higher speeds will
be possible because of improved
traffic conditions. Safe roads of rea-
sonable width will be available
Slow-moving vehicles will be barred
from motor roads. and pedestrians
will either be rallied off or carried

Trace New Styles to
Needs of Other Years

If we will search long enough and
earnestly we can usually find that
almost any fashion of the moment
has its background in history and
that many of the prevailing modes
and styles had foundations in need.
For instance, says the st. Louis
Gl0beDemocrat, the modern woman
who finds cause for satisfaction in
her bobbed or even shingled tresses
can thank the guillotine and the
French revolution.
At least, that is the view of Mrs.
Herbert Richardson, a fellow of the
Royal British Historical society and
a deliver into historical backgrounds
of modern customs. In an address
before the Royal Society of Arts, Mrs.
Richardson said the first single
haircut in history was the toilet OF
the guillotine, when hair-probably
male as well as female-which might
have impeded the triangular blade,
was first shorn into a canvas-covered
basket. AS time advanced through
the years, first men and then women
adopted the cropping as a style OF
some utility, through not the original
utility.
Mrs. Richardson also said that the
wearer Of the modern beret which
bas served To cover most women and
children and a few men in recent
years may thank the Peninsular war
and the Basque peasants who wore

SOCIALISTS OF WATERBURY HAD
 SMALL SURPLUS
They Had 95 Cents in the Treasury When They
 Ended Campaign

Waterbury socialist organization has a surplus in it's treasury of ninety-five cents. This fact was dis closed in a formal report flied to- day in the office of Town Clerk Dora A. Egan by John w. Ring of this city, treasurer of the local so- cialist campaign committee. Dem ocratic Town Chairman John H.. Crary and Republican Town Chair man Frederick w. Palomba both stated to-day that they will have their financial reports for fthe ma ior parties ready on Wednesday. the last day for filing under the state statutes.
 Treasurer Ring of the socialist party was the candidate of his party for the office of congress- man-at-large in the last recent state election. He boiled several hundred votes in Waterbury. The fact that the local socialist party has a 95-cent balance after the re- cent election is especially interest ing in view of the fact that after the last election the balance was the same. For the recent election the Waterbury socialist treasury received $27.33 for campaign pur- poses in the form of donations. The sum of $2c.3S was spent. Con- tributions this year ranged from Is cents to three dollars. The three dollar contributors were M. Griner and F. Rich. Norris Fein, Patrick Gilhooley, the Workmen's Circle and J. Dibner each contributed $2. The sum of II each. was received from William l.. Mellich, H. Ross, T. Feitelson, MT and Mrs D. Stein and Samuel Schnearof.

KIDNAPPING HAS
 TURNED FIZZLE
 SAYS ATTORNEY
Prosecutor in the Darien
 Episode Can Find No Real Evidence

Bridgeport, Conn, Nov 19-(UP) The possibility of attempted kid- naping charges being placed against three Rhode Island men captured Friday in a gun battle at the home of Gustave F. Westheim, Darien, today appeared to have fizzled.
 With announcement of States Attorney William H. Comley there was no evidence to indicate an at tempted abduction and he did not expect it to develop, the case dwindled to a simple charge of breaking and entering in the day season.
 "There hasn't been a shred of evidence proving that a kidnap plot was in progress" Conley said. Ut only seems to be a scheme to commit a robbery at the house. They came while the family was away, unarmed, and they also made certain that the house was unoccupied at the time."
 It was believed a move would be made shortly to have the bonds of the men reduced from $20,000 to more reasonable amount. The ac- cuscd, Joseph Borg and John J. Collins, Providence, and Edward Menard, Pawtucket, are now at county jail under heavy guard.
