Smoky JensOn stood watching an Army searchlight shooting bril- liant fingers aloft in search of prcwling aircraft and wondered why the government didn't set up battery of lights around every Connecticut town. Those lights put on a show better than Vol colt Fair midway, but they eat up power doing it. Generators to pro- duce that power are expensive, in- deed. We told Smoky that one light used enough power to run sixty electric ranges and that sort of set him back on his heels, but he came right back. Smoky claims that he could rig up an outfit of bicycles to do the job cheap. He claims that during World War One, the Germans used a bicycle driven generator for power on their radio outfits.

The JenSon idea reminds us of Swede over in Bristol who built low-slung handcar that ran with a weight driven motor and series of springs. The Swede had good luck downhill and on the level but his vehicle would never climb hills successfully. Halfway up each hill, the car would slow and then stall. The Swede finally found a way to increase his power by picking up stones beside the road on the way uphill. He rigged an automatic dumping outfit to unload the rocks at the hilltop, and that's why there are so many stones on top of the hills in Bristol.
 Between East Hampton and Marlboro, the Disappearing Hills would have made an ideal proving ground for that Swedish handcar. Rocks to burn in that country, smooth concrete, light traffic. Maybe we'll find that inventor sOmeday and take him over there for tryOut. Who knows? Perhaps that weight-driven motor will one day drive tank through the Hit Ter line.
