Carrington has a brand new inven-l tion in the shape of a wind sleigh de signed by Clarence Cummings. The| new machine can spin ovelr the snow at a 30 mile clip and is a most ingenious model. The invention is a regular au-. tomobile chassis together with the en rine mounted on a sleigh in reverse! -Tom the usual position. The motive power is furnished by an airplane pro-' peller 5% feet in diameter driven a speed of 1,400 revolutions per minute by the 35 horse power motor. The pro-1 peller rests on a steel frame built up over the front runners. The sleigh is guided by a steering apparatus at-! tached to the rear runners and manip-1 ulated by a steering-wheel just in front! of the driver. While K38fcHkAiK:*3ea ythe The Season's Greeting first model has a water cooled motor and seating! capacity for only one passenger, the inventor hopes to improve the wind sleigh so that an air cooled motor will be adaptable and increases its capacity to three or four passengers. A large windshield to protect the drier will be placed directly behind the propeller and it is planned to have the seats arrang ed in a cokpit that will be built along lines of comfort and convenience. On trial trips the new machine has proved the hopes of the inventor. It can trav el with ease and at a rapid rate with out the motor being under a strain. CARD OF THANKS. Sawyer, N.
