Slight Breeze Into Funnel Can Be Made tq Control a Typewriter Carriage, Turn Sheet Music, Aid in Operation of Machines. New York, Sept. 4 (P—The old Jokes about lazy folks who work merely by drawing their breath to- day became the latest réality of sci- entific developments to reduce man's physical toil. An electric light which can be blown out with the same small pufl that extinguishes a match was plac- | Westing- | ed on exhibition at the house lighting institute here. | Its secret is a new kind of electric switch, the “breath relay,” for which | is promised many useful applica tions. It can be set to turn either Gives Him “Third Hand” It gives man a third “hand” for| opera- | tions, and a substitute for hands in | some kinds of mechanical cases where he wishes to avoid direct touch. The latter purpose was the object of the inventor, Dr. E. E. Free, New | York consulting engineer. But when the device was perfected by t Westinghouse company it proved to| be unexpectedly reliable and ncl‘ greatly subject to operation by va- grant breezes, The company says it can be used | for safety devices and for extending | the operator’s control of automo- biles, airplanes, scientific apparatus, | punch-presses and other machines in which hands and feet are bus It also can be made to actuate de- vices that open service doors of res- 1 taurants, and to operate the ocar- riages of typewriters and billing ma- chines. Tt is even claimed that the breath device can be made to turn | the pages of sheet music. Blows Into Funnel For extinguishing the lights a per- son blows into a trim little funnel | which resembles the mouthpiece of | a telephone. The breath strikes phosphor bronze springs arranged so0 that the air impact strikes a large surface and is thereby amplified suf ficiently to make a regular “con- tact.” The position of the springs at the bottom of the funnel protects them from being affected by ordi- nary air currents. The story Free, objecting jokingly to putting his hands on apparatus handled by other persons, said: “Why don't you scientists give us something so that we don't have to touch things if we don't want to?” | “That's easy,” was Frees reply, *we ecould do it with just a puff of air." PERMIT IS DENIED FOR GARAGE HOME Chanffeur Could Live There But Not Property Owner | ver. Under the zoning law, a servant| or chauffeur may make use of pro- perty in a manner denied the owner, J. August Carlson learned last night when his petition for an application | 1o remodel and live in the upper‘ story of a garage building was de- | nied by the board of adjustment. ; Carlson submitted plans for alter- | etion of the garage in the rear of Dwight street. He explained that Fimself in that building, then deed ’vq purpose was to make a home for the structure standing in front to a member of his family. Study of the zone law disclosed that the chauffeur | or servant of the owner may be | housed in an auxiliary building, but no provision was made whereby the | owner or anyone not so employed, | might live there. It was suggested that he ask the common council to | amend the ordinance. Permit for Practice Golf Course ar's use was A permit for one given Edward J. Gal the Belvidere Golf a plot on the McCabe tract which is zoned for residence us The | board was informed that rifle range can be re-opened on the land, having existed before zoning came into effect, and members agreed that the golf school would be less likely to give ground to complaint.
