WILL ELIMINATE USE OF GASOLINE Intends Offering Ides to General Motors Says Inventor . Toronto, July 5.--For the last nine years a young Russian now of 'Toronto, has been working on an i@ea. An idea whereby he can pro- duce a medium or motor combus- tion that will eliminate the use of line. ' . He has' spent long hours in study and a_ great deal of money in research. He has travelled over Burope and Asia and America and has received the commendation of Sir Herbert Samuel, British Com- missioner for Palestine, of Mus- tapha Kemal Pasha and other not- ables. Four and a half years ago he came tp Toronto, and last week he believed his goal was within sight. Yet Tuesday when he tried to enter Detroit to lay his inven- tion before American motor offic- fals the doors were closed in his face. He was not a Canadian citi- zen. ouch is the story of Jack Star. of 697_Grace street, "hey said I would have to spend six months more in Canada and take out citizenship papers be- fore 1 could get in," he said last night. | Although he offered to leave his car with the authorities at the ferry 'dock they would not let him in for even an hour. But this young man was deter- mined. "Did vou finally gét in?" "Posi- tively," was the reply. "How?" But that remains a se- cref. %: any rate the selling rights of his: invention .are in the hands of a Detroit: attorney. "1 Intend selling my idea to Gen- eral motors or to Ford," he said. "If they do not want it I will try tHe government, Canadian, Ameri- can or British. It would cost $20,000 to patent it for the world and it would be useless to patent it just in Canada or the States. Someone could begin manufactur- ing in Japan and so on. So I've de- cided to sell the idea. In fact If I had the money I wouldn't patent it. ) "That is one thing that I think governments should remedy," he continued. 'How is a poor man to be protected? If some of these rich people would leave money to pro- tect the poor inventor instead of to colleges they would perhaps do more for the world in the long ran. 'In Germany they buy ideas but in Canada and United States they want only patents. But men who have np money cannot patent their inventions and they dq mot always know how to protect their ideas. They show them to someone who steals them." Other than that it is a corcen- trate of some kind, he declines to disclose the nature of his product. "It will eliminate carburetors, filters and vacum tanks. I am an engineer and for many years have been working on the production cf a medium that would not have to be carried in large quantities, 1 have always ridden motorcygles and I know engines as well," he hesitated ard then glancing down, "as well as I know this cigarette." Before he left his native city. Petrograd, he was knwon as Jacob Staroselski, champion cyclist of Russia. He does not talk readily of him- self, rather of his invention, He isn't interested in publicity. He is of medium height, dark and well tanned. His eyes are brown, He is intent and smiles quickly and rarely. His direct glance conveys an impression of the concentration that has prompted him to follow his idea these many years. NURSES ON WAY T0 BIG CONVENTION Miss Wong of Pekin Interest- ed in Hospital For Sick Children Toronto, July 5.--The vanguard of the nurses on their way to at- tend the International Congress of Nurses in Montreal next week reached Toronto Wednesday. Although thier number is small, their importance when bulked is large, for they all hold Rockfeller Foundation fellowships. Little Miss Elsie Wong of Pekin, China, who is accustomed to pre- paring feeding for slant eyed bab- fes or smoothing the pillows of fevered patients with skin yellow- ed by the sun of the Orient, has been spending the day in the dairy of the Hospital for Sick Children' here, picking up new ideas to take back to China. Miss Wong has her shiny black hair. bobbed western fashion, and says that the majority of the girls in the big coast cities of China have adopted this style of coiffure. In the interior they still' cling to 'the old-fashioned long tresses of the days of their grandmothers, Quite slender she appears in her white nurse's uniform and little Dutch cap, very similar to jhat worn by the nurses of the sod for Sick Children.

She goes back to take charge of the metabolism ward in the Rockefeller hospital at Pekin, While in Toron- to she is a guest .at the Toronto General Hospital, Miss Mary Mastin and Miss Svea Lindberg spent the morning at the Claremount Toronto department of health nursing district, with Miss Mary Millman, official hostess for the visiting nurses, looking after them. Miss Lindberg, who laughingly disclaims any relationship with the famous flier, is also a gradu- ate of Rockefeller hospital at Pe- kin, This is her first visit to the west, since she was born in the interior of China, and she will visit the home of her parents in Sweden before returning to the Orient. She has been fascinated with her year in the United States, but says she 1s longing to get back to her work in China. Her parents are missionaries there. Miss Mastin has been spending the past 'year at Columbia Univer- sity. Before that time she was en- gaged in rehabilitation work con- nected with the Mississippi flood Als Rn CHERRY DUMPLINGS Cut the pie crust into squares and fill the centre of each with pitted cherries and pinch it together and bake in a hot oven until the crust is delicately browned.

Lynch, David H. San. lands and Charles Cortelyou, Treas- ury Department agents. Evidence was gathered through cooperation be- tween the authority of this country and Canada, A curious feature of the operations, according to the three agents, was that jewelry was smuggled in both directions, Canada imposes a heavy duty on watch cases and the agents said that members of the alleged ring operated together in smuggling watch cases made here into Canada and re- ceiving in exchange for them watch movements and money, They said that almost all of the watch movements were smuggled into this country in the_ spare tire of an automobile which made ten trips across the border with the contra. band. Others, they said, were smug- gled by train, the smuggler carrying watches concealed in a specially de- signed vest. The duty on each Swiss watch movement imported to this country is $2 while the Canadian im- port on the product is only 12%4 cents each. The result was a saving of $1871; on each movement smuggled, Adolph Speyer, one of those indict~ ed, has already been brought to trial in Montreal, Canada, for smuggling jewelry from this country into Can- ada, and decision has been reserved in the case. In Speyer's office were found papers indicating that during 1928 alone, he placed orders for $228,- 000 worth of the watch movements, making annual trips to Switzerland, The others named in the indictment which was handed to Federal Judge Edwin R. Holmes, are David Gilden, of 2380 Creston Place, the Bronx; Joseph Jacobs, 'and Paul Seldhuhne, partners of 87 Nassau street; Norman 'laxman, no address furnished; H. Periman, 109 119th Strexone Park, Queens; Irving Victoroff, 65 Nassau street; J. Lichtenfels, 61 Chrystie street; Sidney Mandell, 2495 Grand Concourse, the Bronr; Max Spire, 1654 East Fourth street, Brooklyn; Isadore Tarnow, 125 Division avenue, Brooklyn; Abraham Millstein, no ad- dress furnished, All but Tarnow, Bloom and Mill- stein are jewelers, these three being charged with being the actual car riers of smuggled watch movements, BROKEN VETERAN ° HAS SAD. STORY Former Canadian Divine Gets Aid From Judge and Veterans Chicago, July 5.--A travel-worn sol- dier of fortune, claiming to be a Can- adian, his health broken by tuberculo- sis, lay in Rogers Park hospital here wi afternoon with war vete- ae ons of both the United tates : reac! out a hand to help him, and with the pros- pects of returning to Ottawa within a month his Jers: * Sixty-two-yéar 6ld David Brown, who" says he served in the British astny in thewolld was and was in t of the Philippine insurrection at the cose of the last century, came fo the attention of authorities when he was ht into the Desplaines St. police station last night along with a dozen other such drifters as arc found in every flophouse on every cor- ner of this hobo haven, His left eye was badly bruised, the black concealed partially by his gold- rimmed glasses, and he was obviously shaky from over indulgence in the fiery Sin which retails in the district for 75 cents a pint. But when he produced papers that showed him to have been a Methodist minister - ordained at Montreal, a traveller in the Phillipines, captured the notorious Aguinaldo and rescued by a United States expedition under Lieut, W, G. ze, and a British veteran of the world war, Judge Joseph Burke, himself an ex- service man, cast aside his judicial mien to render him assistance, . His story is that while under the influence of the liquor he was attack- ed and his money taken from him. He says he served with the Essex infan. try of the British army during the and has no relatives now living in North America, He does not recall the address of his old home in Mont- real, but claims to have held pastor- ates in East Harrington, Granville commandery and Sturgeon Falls in the years after his ordination. In 1897, while at Sturgeon Falls, his mo- ther died, he says, and after he had attended her funeral at Montreal, he left the ministry fling to Columbian College 36 New Westminster, B.C, as a teacher of Latin and French, . He went to the Klondike, he says, in 1897 "te look around" and in 1898 went to Honolulu and there shipped as steward on the S.5. Arizona, car- rying troops to the Phillipines. In Manila he acted as a sort of im- promptu chaplain. A short time before the actual up- rising, he states, he went into the m- terior and was arrested as a United States spy. Having talked: his way out of a sentence of execution, and proving himself very apt in learning the Fili- pino tongue, he continues, he was given many privileges in order to per- mit him to teach the Filipinos the English language and he was at length rescued by an expedition sent to Manila. He contracted amoebic dysentry and was shipped to St. Luke hospital, Sgn Francisco, where he was informed of the death of his father. He w; nt to Montreal, he says, and after his father's furieral took a cleri- cal position with the Shantloup Co., Montreal, manufacturers of optical instruments.

"THE SHAKEDOWN" IS A CORKING PICTURE James Murray and Barbara Kent In Romantic Roles A Corking film opened at the New Martin Theatre last night. It is "The Shakedown," a Universal offering co-starring handsome young James Murray and adora- ble Barbara Kent. William Wy- ler directed it from a story by Chas, A. Logue, A good human story, plot twists that make for suspense and surprise, well modulated and forceful dialogue and a high type of acting combine to make this pie- ture out of the ordinary. William Wyler proved his mettle as a di- rector with "Anybody Here Seen Kelly?" In the "Shakedown" he shows even greater ability at hand- ling human characters and in the deft incidental touches that make screen story appealing. Murray plays the role of a young oil derrick rigger enmeshed in a phoney fight racket. Barbara Kent is a waitress in an ofl field lunch room. Their romance flow= ers in picturesque surroundings. How she, helps him to break away from the crooks that have him in tow makes a stirring story in which no small amount of interest is lent by a small boy, a waif of the oil fields, whom Murray has taken under his wing. To remove grass stains, wash the stain with kerosene (it will turn yels low) then wash with soap and water. Alcohol will also remove them, . n Decorations STYLES IN BATHING SUITS Gone is the day when women owned one 'natty bathing suit in which to beach and bathe, Today looks like rompers, and is of heavy crash linen, with a picturesque de- sign.
