WOULD REGULATE
INSURANCE RATES

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. S.-Commis.
sioner of Insurance w. C. Taylor has
launched a campaign against hail in
surance rates effective in the state
maintaining that the companies have
made exceptionally big profits. He
proposes state control of rates, in ad.
dition to the maintenance of the state
hail department, which, he says, will
pay out on a very good basis this year
on greater insurance acreage than
in any previous year.
Commissioner Taylor has figures
showing that the hail insurance con.
Germs received $1,079,813 in premiums
last year and that their losses were
but $5O0,109.
In support of his campaign for state
controlled rates, he points to a gen
eral arbitrary raise made by the line
companies, affecting the northwestern
part of the state.

RUNNING A SHIP WITHOUT CREW

TT is reported from Germany that a sue
cessful test has been made of a device
whereby a vessel may be run without a
crew. A transmitter with mast similar to
that used in wireless telegraphy "com-
mands" the ship, and this operates system
atically during period of hours. The ship
turns to the right and left, backs and comes
to stop, as if run by man in the engine
room. Multicolored lights show the ma
neuvers to the men ashore.
This invention was primarily intended
for use in connection with the discharge of
torpedoes; but now, it is thought, it may
serve as medium for the control of dirigible
balloons. Kites provided with Photographic
apparatus and steered by Hertzian waves
are already accessories of the German army
