MAY HAVE BEEN
KIDNAPPED

Sheriff Ray Doak, together with
Virginia, have been Investigating
the reported kidnapping of Cap
tain Roach, AZ, of this place, who
it is reported was robbed of $3 ar
this place Saturday about noon, and
forced, at the point Of a revolver TO
transport the gunman and woman
to the outlying district of Parkers
burg, W. Va. Roach is employed 1T
the Clarence Anderson place. near
Malta.
The report is going the rounds,
has been published in number of
newspapers, that Roach parked
his car in front of the NJ & X. store
here on Main street, and went into
the store to make purchases. Re-
turning to the parked car, accord
ing to the story he told officers, ne
saw young man standing with one
foot on the running board, and
woman sitting in the front seat.
The man flashed a black automatic
pistol and ordered Roach to get in
and start driving toward Marietta.
He obeyed orders. Soon after start

Roach replied that there was not

formerly bought of the local gfocers,
and when they bought from them,
the latter would buy more of the
products of the farm. This gave
farmers more. money to spend with
local merchants

and Charles Knowlton were named
as committee to contact the 40
grocers in the county in an effort to
work out some plan that would bet

which is a really serious problem.

Two boys I know have made a
roller skate that works upside down,
and they ride it through the air with
the greatest of ease They have two
trees. one on higher ground than
the other, and they do their roller
skating on a cable that has been
stretched from one tree downward
to the other. have ridden on their
aerial line, and it really is very
thrilling, though quite safe.
They secured the cable from a
wrecking establishment. 1t was an
old one and cost them almost no
thing. They had to get some help
| in fastening the cable in place and
stretching it, but the rest they did
easily enough and without any cost
at all.
The cable needs a carrier. For it
they used two wheels and two bolts
from roller skate. CThis does not
hurt the wheels and bolts, which can
be put back again any time0 They
cut two boards about 10 inches wide
and IL inches long from an orange
crate and used these for the front
and back of the carrier. Duplicate
holes were bored in the boards in the
positions shown in the drawings
These were for the bolts to pass
through.
A cleat was nailed to the top of one

Despite the thousands of Won
derful inventions that have become
part of our modern life, there are
millions more waiting for smart
young people to originate. Each
present machine or principle or
achievement merely serves to open
the door to a dozen possible new
ones.
For instance. the horrid din of
modern city life, with its blare of
traffic, of radios and of human
voices, calls for new inventions to
quiet all the old ones that make the
noise. 1t is only matter of time
before boXlike device operated by
light current will be invented to
drown out all noise in room. The
machine will throw of energy waves
that combat and neutralize the
waves of sound. The early ones
will have tuning devices to adjust
the energy to the level of the noise.
Perfected, the apparatus will neu-
tralize all noise in a given space
without adjustment.
And, speaking of noise, the field
for an airplane motor muffier that
does not cut the motors efficiency is
wide open. simply crying for a
new invention.
There are always a great number
of elaborate and complicated things
waiting to be invented, But the
great engineering and manufacture
ing plants have competent engln-
GERS and machinists to work them
out, little by little, on established
principles.
Opportunities in Simple Things
The real opportunities for young
inventors lie among the simpler
things based on new principles or
new applications of old laws. All
of them are ideas that will make
every engineer and laboratory man
enash his teeth and ask himself,
why didn't think of that?" Young
inventors have the greatest oppor-
tunity to originate worthwhile
things because their minds are I'M
biased, unprecedented by notions
about things being impossible -
One hundred years ago, anybody
could tell you that it was "impos-
sible" to talk from New York to
Capetown, South Africa. in a
natural tone of voice, and that it
always would be impossible. Today
it is an accepted part of modern
life. That is just one example of
the impossible" things of one gen.
Grafton which become commonplace
for the next.
A good example of the way new
achievements are accomplished, and
the methods of thinking that sue
coed is found in the recent deep
diving suit discovery For some
wears men have risked their lives

Roller Skate Trolley Offers
Thrilling but Safe Pastime

board = inch wide, or just as wide
as the hub of the roller skate wheels.
Another cleat of the same size was
also made but not fastened till later.
The wheels were then placed in po-
sition, the bolts run through and
frightened, and the front board nailed
on. Grooves were made in the out
side of the carrier, as shown in the
lower right-hand picture.
The carrier was then placed over
the cable, after which the lower cleat
was pushed in and nailed. Around
the center of the carrier a rope was
tied, and to the bottom of this rope
a strong wooden bar was fastened
This bar was wired on securely
the carrier, so the carrier could be
pulled along the wire back to the
starting point at the upper tree.
When one of the boys makes q
trip down the cable the speed at first
is quite rapid, the wheels making
as much noise as roller skate on q
pavement. Because of the sag in the
wire the skate slows up before the
lower tree is reached and all the boy
has to do to stop is drop a few inches
to the grass.
Most people would like to make
such trip hanging on to the wooden
bar. But a swing board can be hung
below the carrier and one can ride
on it in a sitting position.

which is feet high. This was all
accomplished with the kitten in her
mouth. AS there were four kittens,
she had to make four trips.
There we stood behind the porch
door, admiring the mother cat, and
none of use could open the door
quick enough to bring the kittens in
How cute they looked all punched
together in fuzzy mass! One was
a rust, another was a silver gray.
the other was black and white. and
the last one, whom We named Good
Luck, was black.
We put cotton and old rags in
box and placed it beside the radiator
The mother cat seemed very content
with our home for her kittens.
Each day they grew and soon
they were able to crawl out Of their
box. How darling they we're when
they tumbled over one another I
could have watched them for hours.
A few weeks passed before they
could run fast and fight with one
another.
Our next job was to find homes
for them. This was accomplished
without any trouble, because they
really were beautiful chubby kittens.
This incident made me stop and
think of how this mother cat en-
trusted us with her kittens. 1t only
took three or four good meals to
make this cat take liking to us.
Isn't it amazing how easy one can
win the friendship of an animal.
and then be rewarded so greatly?

and suffered the horrible torture
pains of the bends TO dive deeper
and deeper under the surface of
water, until it seemed that the
maximum of human endurance had
been reached. The bends" is a
disease caused by small bubbles of
nitrogen getting in to the human
blood stream, result of the eX-
IRENE pressure under which the
diver works.
But when the limit of deep diving
and stole suffering had been reached,
smart engineers said, We'll cut the
Gordian knot. Well use a better
air-without nitrogen" Now, by the
simple idea of using an air" made
up of oxygen and inert helium, divers
can work deeper and longer without
danger of the bends caused by
nitrogen bubbles. No nitrogen in the
"air"-no bends. Just very recent
example of one of those L should
have thought of that ideas.

| Ancient alchemistS used to waste
| lifetimes trying to invent a magic
catalytic agent that would turn base
metals into gold. Nowadays we know
that gold is but a lifeleSs medium Of

Modern engineering practice goes
to great lengths to harness the
energy from such minor sources as
coal, water power and oil, but has
done little or nothing with the i'm
mense power of the sun and the
tides. Most experiments in using
these two sources have been based
on the idea of converting them into
electricity. They have not been car
ried far because electric energy, AS
such, cannot be stored economically.
