NEW WINDMILL = TYPE DESCRIBED Inventor Tells Engineers De-| = vice Generates Electricity on Eight-Mile Wind. “P- the Associated Press BALTIMORE, May 15.—A new type of windmill with the appear- ence of an airplane propeller, de- flared to represent a revolutionary vance over the familiar multi-bladed farm type used with limited success in developing electric power, was described yesterday at the national aeronautics meeting of the American Socicty of Mechanical Engineers. The single-bladed windmill was_de- scribed by E. N. Fales, Ashland. seponautical engincer, who said that he-and H. R. Stuart developed it as the result of wartime researches in the radio section of the Army Air Corps. ‘The new type windmill operates on winds of from 2 to 15 miles velocity, which he said are available at virtually | all times in this country. The old type mill needed high-veloc- ity winds, and when these failed, the generator stood idle and no power was available, he said. ‘The new types, using a 20-foot blade, operates on an average air velocity of 8 miles per hour, generating from 60 to 90 kilowatt hours of electricity, the average consumption in modern homes, Fales sald. ‘Winds of sufficlent velocity are never absent more than three days at a time, Fales said a study of Government weather records had shown, and with the mill in operation at all other times it would generate enough current f these three-day periods of calm. Fales said the single-blade windmill, with the generator placed in the hub casings, an adequate storage battery and automatic control, could be built to 0. | retail for less than § Call for Beetles Issued.

It was like an unexpected attack. “I'd like to own all that stuff,” he said, carelessly. ‘Three days of genuine labor around the ranch followed.

Jim purposely delayed his hour of quitting, in order to avold Hays. After supper Hays lighted his pipe. Then, without facing Jim, he said: “Jim, had the boss mentioned this here trip before?” “No. I was 88 surprised as you.” “Wal, suppose you make some excuse an’ let me go instead? “But Herrick won't like that, Hays,' protested Jim. “He turned down your proposal cold.” “Shore. He did. Damn funny, I take thet, too. But if you wouldn’t or couldn't go, I'd be next choice.” “Hays, you surprise me. Here you are on the eve of a big deal—the big- gest of your life. And you risk angering He{‘flck at this stage.” ays puffed his pipe. He was beaten “Wal” he said, finally, mebbe you're right, Jim.

She was loquacious and very shortly Jim gained the surprising information that no cattle herds had passed through Grand Junction this week.
