DETECT ICEBERGS AT SEA.
} Wonderful Inventions That VIII
Prevent Another Titanic
Disaster.

Git Bits.)
Since the terrible Titanic disaster,
scientists and engineers have been
devoting much time and attention to
detect the vicinity Of icebergs. The
old method consisted of lowering a
thermometer into the water when the
iceberg zone was being approached,
the distance of the icebergs being
Judged according to the temperature
of the water in the vicinity.
Since the increase in the speed of

being neither safe. quick nor accur-
ate. One of the most reliable inven-
tons for detecting icebergs at sea
seems to he that of DR.. Coplans of
the University of Leeds, who has in
vented an apparatus which detects
the presence of icebergs by giving
readings OF the saline contents Of the
water. The nearer an iceberg is to
the ship the less is the amount OF
salt held in solution in the water. In
conjunction with the United States
and Canadian governments DR.. Cop
lans has heen carrying out a series
Of experiments on these lines which
are expected to have most important
results. and which should do much
toward rendering impossible such dis

Another invention of which high
hopes are entertained is what is
known as the microthermometer, an
instrument enabling very much closer
readings of the temperature of the
water to be obtained than is possible
with an ordinary thermometer. It is
! also self-recording.
1t is a curious fact. by the way. in
regard to this instrument. that when
an iceberg is being approached the

THE PRESIDENT AND MEXICO.

Chicago Record-Herald: There will
be no intervention, strict neutrality
will be observed. Americans are urged
TO leave Mexico. hut we should lei
every n who seems t" exercise au-
thority in any part "f Mexico know in
the most unequivocal way that We
shall v%isilantly watch the fortunes ot
the Americans who canine get away
and shall hold those responsible for
their sufferings and losses to a defin-
lite reckoning This is the program,
Set forth in the presidents address
adds That can and will be made
plain beyond the possibility of a mis-
understandings"
This working plan. which is an ex-
cellent one that deserves the hearty
support of che American people, be.
comes now of the first Importance |,
is the chart we are tn go by. the defin-
lite policy Of the United States. 1t is
of course, interesting to know tina,
the offer of mediation had the ap-
proval of foreign powers, and to read
the presidents explanation why it was
not accepted by the Mexican govern
ment. But all hat is over now, and
what we are to do and how we are
to act is the main problem.
The political developments must de-
pend largely pom the state of affairs
in Mexico. President Wilson says thai
the government is not strong enough
to discharge its obligations. that the
territory controlled by the provisional
authorities has grown smaller, not
larger. Gamboa, the Mexican minis
ter of foreign affairs, asserts that
much the greater part of the country
is under the absolute control of the
present government and thai il COM
plete neutrality is enforced the pact
1fcation of the country will be accom-
plished in a relatively short time. OBJ
viously there must be a period of wait
ing before the truth can be known.
The tone Of the presidents address
was exceedingly friendly. we'll calcu-
lated. we should say, to convince the
Sidl our government mas
been and Is acting under the influence
Of the very highest motives. Nothing
is said about the moral questions in
volved in the succession Of Huerta,
though they have had, undoubtedly,
q most powerful effect on public SEN
timent here. But the president ex-
presses himself with intense moral
earnestness when he declares that "the
steady pressure of moral force will,
before many days, break the barriers
Of prejudice down. and we shall tri-
umph as Mexico's friends sooner than
We could triumph as her enemies, and
how much Handsomely, with
how much higher and finer ,satisfac.
ton and honor" That is certainly
good reading for home consumption.

BOSTON, July 4.-More wool has beer
sold in Boston during the past week,
and the market has assumed an APP

Transfers foot up well over 1900, 600
pounds, including territories. feeces and
Texas woods. Prices have been low,
keeping the market down practically TO
a free wool basis on all grades except
medium feeces. Active buying in the
West now is largely confined to Mon
tana, where the new clipping season is
just getting under way. Other States
have been fairly well cleaned up, the
best woods having been purchased and
the heavier woods consigned. Business
in foreign woods remains at a standstiil,
as manufacturers will not pay the du-
ties in the face OF free wool. The Lon
con auction sales opened about as ex-
pected with American buyers unusually
active for the first day.
Receipts of wool in pounds for the

The Georgian's 100000 club move
ment was given a new impetus Thurs
day when three of the best known
men in Atlanta became actively iden-
titled with it as judges of the $25
slogan prize contest They are:
John w. Grant Wilmer L. Moore
and Walter C. Taylor.
The constant stimulus our news
papers give to the Atlanta spirit is
one Of the finest things in the city,
or any city in the country for that
matter" said Mr. Grant "The 500. 900
booster club idea will result in much
good, and the census of 1920 will be
ample proof of it."
Il want to help the 100000 club all
can" said Mr.. Moore
Il often think that we don't know
how to appreciate Atlanta until we
get out of it," said Walter Taylor.
"Often when / was in other towns
and heard of the things being done
in Atlanta, I got as homesick as when
| first left home as a boy.
Every travelling man. every At
lantan who goes away for a trip, rs
well as all good boosters at home,
should wear one Of the 100000 club
buttons. You can't calculate the
boosting that such a plan will effect"
Since The Georgian offered $25 for
the best slogan for the buttons in
terest has greatly increased in the en-
terprise to get 100000 people into At
lanta by 1920.

if the cloth does not appear TO be

1t is not hard to detect cotton in
alleged "all wool" goods, but it is
hard to tell 'shoddy'' from the genu-

reliable dealer, then buy a brand of
goods whose makers name stands for
the best in that line.
