NEW MYSTERY MOTOR
Recent press dispatches and exchanges from the
States give accounts of a new motor, invented by Lester
J. Hendershot of Pittsburgh, which is said to run without
fuel, being an electro—magnetic .affair, which draws its
power “from the air or ground.’'
Preliminary tests made at Selfridge Field, Detroit,
are reported to have excited the interest of several well—
known aviation experts, including Colonel Lindberg, who
witnessed the demonstration. Great secrecy surrounds
the details of the invention, which has not yet been made
public; nor which has yet been patented. Major Lanphier,
Army Flight Commander, a visitor in Seward two-years
ago, is quoted as saying that while it appeared to have
great possibilities, it was too early to tell what might come
of it.
That a motor could be run without fuel seems pre—
posterous at first glance, still so many seemingly impos—
sible feats have been accomplished in harnessing the un—
seen forces of nature that one is hardly justified in being
too skeptical. When first proposed, the X—ray, radio and
other many epoch—making inventions appeared just as
incredible.
On the other hand, the new device may be found to
have no practical value. Further tests and developments
will be necessary to determine whether it is to revolution
ize the automotive world, or be discarded as just another
dream which failed of realization.
Too many people are out in the car when opportunity
knocks at their door.
An automobile may usually beat a train to a railroad
station, but seldom to a railroad crossing.
The U. S. Senate is against third terms, providing in
this respect at least that lawmakers agree with lawbreak
ers.
HOW DARE THEY?
Foot—runners from Los Angeles to New York, re—
gardless of the cash prizes awaiting them at the New
York end, probably will not be given much publicity by
the California papers. Any self—respecting California
editor is reluctant to admit that anybody would run away
from the Golden State.
