SUBMARINE MAKERS PROTEST
Officials Declare Writings Feat
Unnecessary.
Engineer Says that Regular Exits
Are Safe and Adequate-says
Whiting Proved Nothing.

Boston. Aug. q - Declaring that the
feat OF Lieut. Kenneth Whiting. in al
lowin ghimself TO be shot through the
torpedo tube OF a submarine, was
totally unnecessary piece OF foolhardi
ness which can never have the slightest
bearing upon the method OF escape which
a submarine crew would adopt, the chief
officers Of the Electric Boat Company are
irritated by the reports that the Navy
Department is to look into this matter
OF exit as being a practicable one
Lawrence Y. Speal-. president and gen.
eraI manager OF the company; T. S.
Bailey, chief engineer, and Capt. f. T.
Cable, who has charge OF the trial trips
OF the submarines. all agree that Whit
ing's adventure is Of no value for future
emergencies.
1T IS an impossIbility that Whiting
thought that such a method OF exit would
be an improvement over the present
means" said President Spear The very
idea is utterly absurd. We have pro-
vided means for escape under every con-
ceivable circumstances In all our sub
marines. and at no time could a subma-
rine be in such a position that he crew
would be unable to use these exits.
This feat OF Writings may have been
the result of bet" declared Chief En-
gineer Bailey, but It didn't help anyone
or anything.
The mode Of exit is a. follows: One
OF the men standing around the port
takes his Nfe-preserved in his hand. and
taking hold OF the edge of the port
slides under the water. and up inside
the port. A touch upon the trop-door
makes IT fly open. and the sailor plunges
upward through the trap, while the door
closes behind him. The air pressure IS
equal 10 the water pressure, so no air
escapes and no water enters
AS soon as the first man has gone
the second man follows exactly in his
steps He ducks under water, and
comes up in the port. The door. flies

George and BENJAMIN.

Last week George Rice missed an
overcoat from his Office. He hunted
high and low, says Mr.. Fox, but
failed to find it. Finally he placed
the matter in the hands of the marshal,
who soon Discovered the lost benja-
min. Some of the boys had appropri-
ated it and pawned it for cigars in a
hotel. Of course it was mere Joke.
but when George called to redeem it
he found that more cigars had been
passed out for it than what it was
worth and refused to make good. So
he rushed up town and purchased
new overcoat. The boys ultimately
redeemed the coat, however, and now
George has two benjamins instead of
one. Who was the joke on?

!" Farmers Cooperative Creamery at

Princeton Cooperative creamery are
very proud of that institution, and
we'll they may be, for it is one of the
neatest-appearing and best arranged

threaten to sue the Princeton Com
mercial club for libeling their
creamery, and the Princeton creamery
people have good cause for action.
BY the way, that booklet was a

to appreciate the broad-mindedness of
the Princeton Commercial club.

THEY MUST STOP It
Court Decision Sustains Agricultural
Department in Its Efforts to
Prevent Flour Bleaching.
Use of Nitrogen Peroxide for Whiten.
ing Flour Will In Consequence
Have to be Abandoned.

Washington, April 3O.-Justice
Stafford of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia this morning
directed body blow at manufacturers
using nitrogen peroxide in the bleach
ing OF flour, and upheld the right of
the secretary of the department of
agriculture to give notice of his in
tention to prosecute manufacturers
in case they persisted in the use of
such chemicals.
INJUNCTION is REFUSED.
Justice Stafford overruled petition
for an Injunction asked by the Alsop
Process company of St. Louis, which
owns the process calling for the use
OF nitrogen peroxide, and which also
manufactures the machinery by which
Hour is bleached. The Alsop COM
pany asked that the secretary of agri-
culture be restrained from prosecuting
manufacturers who used nitrogen
peroxide.
The order of the department for
bidding the use of peroxide was made
lest December. In the order signed
by the secretary the use of nitrogen
peroxide is declared deleterious and
harmful and warning was given to
manufacturers that six months after
the signing of the order in December
the department. of agriculture would
begin prosecutions.
The Alsop company, being not only
the owners of the process calling for
the use of this chemical. but also the
manufacturers of the machinery by
which the -four is bleached, alleged
that great pecuniary loss would accrue
to them if the order we're allowed to
stand
The decision today does not touch
upon the question of whether the
secretary of agriculture is correct IN
his decision that bleached -four does
not conform to the pure food laws.

Deliver Addresses on Matters
Pertaining to Education.


weather which prevailed on Saturday
the Mile Laos County Teachers asso-
citation meeting at the Princeton high
school was we'll attended, in fact the
gathering was much larger than ex-
pected. Milaca sent particularly
strong delegation, and there were
teachers there from most of the neigh
boring towns and adjoining counties.
The program, arranged by the
home teachers, was declared to be the
best ever presented at meeting of
this nature in Mile Laos county.
Much regret was expressed, however,
that Professor 7. J. Cation, president
of the Cation Business college, Min
neapolis, was unable to attend and
that Mrs. M. M. Stroeter and Miss
Almatia Davis were prevented from
being present in consequence of sick
ness.
At the business meeting in the morn
ing an organization was effected and
the following officers elected for the
next school year: President, j. c..
Marshall; secretary, Miss Nellie
Tompkins: treasurer, J. c.. Davies;
executive committee, Guy Ewing, Miss
Hutchinson and Miss Tennie Cravens.
In the afternoon the proceedings
opened with prayer by Rev. Swert-
Eager and this was followed by song
in which chorus of thirty voices
participated. This rendition showed
that the chorus had been specially
we'll trained-it reflected much credit
on the teachers who had brought it to
such perfection.
The next number was a demonstra-
ton by the. children of the Whittier
school, -model classes in reading
and the little ones of the primary
first, second and third grades received
many plaudits for the admirable man
ner in which they handled their al
lotted parts. It was in reality one of
the best features of the program.
A well-rendered recitation by Miss
Catherine Davies of Milaca followed
and Rev. J. W. Heard then addressed
the meeting. His subject was 1.-The
Social Standing of the Teacher. -
His speech was filed with common.
sense advice of much value to teachers
and those whose aim is to follow the
profession.
A discussion by Miss Adna Orion
and others was much appreciated as
was also a paper "How to Improve
Attendance in Rural Schools" dis
cussed by Misses Ella B. Hanson and
Eva T. Coburn. Miss Minnie Sell
horn, who was to have read this
paper, was unable to be present.
One of the best numbers on the pro-
gram was an address by Superinten-
dent J. G. Davies of the Milaca pub
lie schools. Mr.. Davies is we'll in
formed n modern methods of teach
ing and knows how to express himself
in lucid, attractive manner.
An address was also delivered by
DR.. Lester on the care of the eye.
Superintendent Ewing is highly
pleased at the interest manifested in
this, the last teachers meeting of the
school year.
