Inventors Display New Gadgets. Despite shortage of raw materials, there's no dearth of new inventions. Indeed wartime priorities have turned inventors to the creation of gadgets which circumvent priorities, if the 1942 Inventors' Exposition, sponsored by the American Hobby Federation in Sachs Auditorium is any indication. Here, for example, is Anthony Morch of New York City and his device for converting water into a gas for operating automobiles. The gadget is the small glass jar on the table and is attached to the battery on the floor. Mr. Ickes may be interested in this!
