BUD MARS OF QUINCY
INVENTOR OF BOMB
all But Won't Put Il on
Market.

4 Quincy Wing: An aerial bomb
capable OF spreading death and de
struction for radius Of many yards
one OF the most deadly instruments
of warfare ever invented. has never
been thrown upon the market of ma
lions because Of the humanitarian
principles OF the man who evolved the
/ idea
| Bud" Mars, once one of the best
known Of the pioneers in the mastery
of the air. and at present resident
! OF Quincy, deserves all the credit for
refusing to permit his invention to be
used in the slaughter of his fellows in
legalized warfare.
Mars. who is quite a mechanical
genius, experimental with a shrapneI
bomb that could be dropped from an
aeroplane carrying with it instant de
struction. Finally he solved the prob
lem and his work today stands as one
of the greatest in the history OF air
explosives.
| At this time. with airpIane fighting
playing so important role in the war
fare in Europe, the Wing believes the
story of Mars marvellous machine
will be of interest
After much toll and effort, after a
great time passed in studying the ma
ture of explosives and air bombs, the
! bomb was perfected by Mars. It was
tested and found to be perfect. AS an
engine of murder it was completely
successful

change in heart. He says he called
the invention in, broke the molds and
DESTROYED the patterns because he be-
lieyed it unfair to the women to kill
OF SO many men, when there are so
many women who want man.
That's what Mars says about it him
self. The genial Bud refuses to ad-
init any humanitarian principles I'M
deriving his refusal. He prefers to
veil his real sentiments behind the
facetious reply quoted above.
The bomb itself is fearful and won.
derful apparatus. Cigar-shaped. his
model was about two and half feet
| in length. At one end was revolv-
| ing stem carrying two blades, similar
to propeller blades. These were used
to keep the bomb upright.
The bomb carried shrapnel and nj
itro-glycerin in proportion and was
equipped with delicate instrument
! towards the point, which registered
the air pressure. When the bomb
reached point twenty-five feet above
the surface of the earth the nitro
glycerin and guncotton were exploded
automatically and the shrapnel sent
flying in all directions with tremend-
Gus force.
| Intricacies: Of; the machine can not
! be described because of Mars desire
not to have anyone else follow his
lines in the manufacture Of like pro
jectile.
| In case this country ever becomes
involved in serious war. the local
bird-man declares he will furnish the
plan to the war department. Until
that time the death-dealing instrume nt
secret will remain locked in his brain.

MACOMB, ILL.,, Oct. 15.-Once more
have Ray Pfanschmidt's bloody clothes
by all odds the most damaging of all
the evidence against the defendant
been exhibited to jury which will
render verdict as to his guilt or in
nocence of one of the worst crimes
ever committed in this country.
These clothes are admitted by the
attorneys for the defendant to be
those of Ray Pfanschmidt The diff
terence between the position OF the
state and the defense is as to the
manner in which the blood spots
came on the clothes and the manner
In which they found their place in the
vault. The position of the state nat
urally is that Ray Pfanschmidt himself
put the bloody clothes in the vault in
order to hide his crime. The position
Of the defense Is that some one-no
names are planted the
clothes, got them from Ray Plan

and then hid them where they were
found by workmen who were tearing
down the shelter house to the vault
