The third anniversary Of the Triangle
Shirtwaist Company fire. in which IA
persons died, was commemorated yester'
day by Mayor Mitchell. the Fire Depart
ment and by many factories at the sug-
gestion of Fire Commissioner Adamson
The progress made in the last three
years in the prevention of fires and the
prevention of death in fires was demon
strated.
The event in which Mayor Mitchell had
a part was a false alarm test in the six
story factory of the American Tobacco
Company, No 762 Wythe avenue, Brook
Ign. at 23O in the afternoon. With Off
GERS Of the factory, Commissioner Adam

Mayor entered the main hall and rang
in an alarm 10 Fire Headquarters, and
then broke the glass of the building box,
which sounded bells throughout the
factory.
Immediately the 1900 employees. under
their chiefs, exit guards and leaders,
marched out. Within two minutes none

alarm the machinery had stopped

seconds the 800 girls who work on the top
floor were outside
One difficulty in persuadng factory
owners TO obey the law which required a
drill every two weeks is that they say the
time lost is expensive, but in the Sicher
drill the girls descended five flights of
stairs and we're back at work in minutes

to go down one stairway and up another

NEW SCIENTIST
FOUND IN THE

Tells Paducah People the Proper
Method To Assist Nature in
Producing Rain.

Farmers here who are bemoaning
the lack OF rain with its damage to
crops, might carry out the suEges-
tiCn in a letter TO Padlcah news
paper the other day The writer at
tempts TO explain the drought on I
scientific basis, and makes somo sug-
gestions which are rather dubious
in their practicability.
The writer declares that the real
cause of the drought is our blind
ness in working against nature.
There must be water for the sun
and air to evaporate, he writes, ana
now that the farm lands have been
drained. there is none left, So the
water of the river must be utilized.
ana in order to create a bigger sur
face for evapoation, w ought to fill
our front and hack yards with wat
or, soak the lawns, spread water
everywhere where It can be absorb
ed by the suns rays.
The writer declares that If this
plan Is followed for two or three
DAYS. the rain will fall from heaven
and the thirsty crops will be saved.

first attempt was not directly
crowned with success as the g0T-
ernment refused a patent on the
grounds that the automatic frame
was not a great improvement over
the old method. Not in the least
disheartened, she made application
To the Canadian government. The
patent was granted.
she then set to work to obtain a
patent in this country. She made
number of improvements, and
went to Washington where drafts
man made the drawings of the new
model She obtained patent from
the United States government On
Oct. %. 1913.
\ few weeks ago she received a
letter from the Woman's Associa-
tion of Commerce. inviting her to
exhibit her invention at the Con
gress OF Woman's Achievements and
Exposition of Science, Art and Conf
merce. She declined because of
personal reasons.
Mrs. Altfuldisch has received sew
eral offers of large sums for the
patent right and the right t. manu-
facturc the frame, but has refused
all of them to date. She Is detGrn-
incd not TO sell her right to the
patent until she is offered the prica
which she demands.
Th" object of the invention is -
rr'Nide an eypansionab!h fabric
holong frame. swingingly mounted
upon a vertical supported frame in
such a manner that il may be
readily adjusted for convenient use,
and further. to provide a novel form
of swinging connection between the
fabric-carrying frame and the sup
porting frame, permitting the for
mer to be swung at any desired
angle with respect to the latter and
so arranged as to be always held in
adjusted position, no tightening of
bolts or other fastcnings being re-
quired. The feet OF the frame may
be swung parallel with the frame
when not in use.

When Mrs. Alttfuldisch found
that she could not use hoop, She
substituted frame which she laid
on table, and in this way did her
fllet work. But then she wanted
to do embroidery. and to do this
she would have to reach beneath
he frame. One of the aims and
outgrowths of civilization is to do
the most work with a Consumma-

She went to a wooodturner and
explained to him that she wanted
the frame put on a socket, and or

frame. All this occurred 80 years
ago. Mrs. Altfuldisch was not
bending all her energy to the in
vention which resulted. She never
even thought that her inability to
work with hoop would some day
result in most useful invention. 1t
was merely the gradual outgrowth
and satisfying of necessities.
She continued to improve the
frame, providing a stand for it and
placing sockets at convenient places.

Unstable. Even then she failed to
realize that she had produced an in
