AN INVENTOR GETS A BIG
CHECK FOR LITTLE IDEA
isaac Russell. IN colIiers.

The check was the largest ever paid
20 an inventor for q single invention.
1t was for 100000. The little idea
that won this big sum Is one by which
any amateur photographer may auto
graph picture when he takes IL.
The inventor took the check because
he wanted to be able to forget all
about cameras and the making OF
cameras and go back to his laboratory
to MOL over some other little 100000
idea. A royalty contract with the East
man company would have mussed UP
his mind and kept 1t busy for years
to come on kodak business

Nowhere else In Europe Is there such
a fine farming country as along the
Danube from Budapest down to Belgrade.
II Is a vast prairie, exceedingly fertile and
titled with unusual care.

In Europe where you can get real green

What Became Of The Piaeons2

The pigeons-were they exterminted2
Is there a probability that any are, yet
alive? Much has been written con-
corning them. some by persons who
knew; more by those who guessed. The
writer is one OF the few men living who
spent months among the pigeons and
the pigeon men; who visited two great
nestings and one small one; who can
tell at Erst hand what he saw and how
be saw II. but can throw no light on
the disappearance OF billion feathered
people OF the woods. ..
The man with his net now receives
universal blame for the lost army Of
pigeons. Internationally he was bad
enough. The Indian, with his pole, did
his part, poling squads from every nest
within reach. The beasts OF the fields
and birds OF the air were not idle. All,
everything, from man down, considered
the pigeons legitimate prey. Each did
q share Of killing, but the censure be-
longs 70 the white mamie who shot
IN the tournaments as well as he VINO
caught IN the nestings- for he alone

Washington. Special extent to
which the legislation permitting for
eign shipping to enter American reg
istry will result In the actual registry
Of vessels under tho American flag Is a
question nobody here attempts to an
gwer definitely. Those who have
say that much win depend on ciRcum-
stances. VI. .e ..
They point out that much win de-
pend on the length OF the war In Eu-
rope; on the question whether the
English merchant marine continues to
ply the sea freely, along with the
French merchant marine: and on the
question OF how sharp becomes the de-
mand for vessels to carry foodstuffs and
other supplies from this country to
Europe
It is generally admitted that II the
enormous merchant fleet OF the English
nation plus that OF France continues
traffic freely. there win probably be
few foreign vessels which viii seek
American registry.
But IL for any reason there Is an
I Inadequate supply OF ships to carry
American foodstuffs co Europe and the
demand for such ships is heavy, then
the number Of vessels to enter Ameri-
can registry Is expected to be fairly
large. aE .#..,. ...
Neither officials nor members of
congress pretend to say definitely what
will ocur. Senator O'Gorman informed
the Senate that he had information
that some foreign vessels would enter
American registry. but he did not give
the details.
One of the transfers Of Importance
likely to be made Is in the vessels OF
the United Fruit company. These YES
sells are American owned but fly the
British flag. II is asserted here they
will come under American registry II
conditions become favorable A num-
Der Of vessels which are known as
: Canadian and fly the British ny but
which are owned by Americans are
expected to enter registry in this coun-
try. The vessels on the seas owned by
Americans but not under the Ameri-
can flag comprise large tonnage.
Germany is at war now with most
OF Europe and. it would be little short
OF miracle II her coasts escaped
blockade. II they are bIockaded that
means German merchant ships cannot
cary on trade Many members OF
congress look to see American capital
take over q number Of German ships
before the war goes on long. .E. T..
The situation which would make for
heavy registry OF foreign vessels under
the American flag would be one In
which the German navy would b0 about
an even match for Its opponents over
q long period. This would operate b
curtail heavily the sailings Of Eng
lish French. German and Russian
ships. and probably Dutch. In such q
situation. there might be a rush tc

The late Adlai E. Stevenson" said
Republican leader of Bloomington,

He said that party politicians be-

and the other side to be always wrong
Whatever the other side advocated, It
was horrible and internal: whatever
their own side advocated was holy.
He said the partisan couldn't I'M

On Both Titanic and Empreso.

Ulo LOuuOn IdlAy hdu
One of the survivors OF the Empress of
ireland was also on the Titanic on It's first
and last voyage. To have come safely
through the two greatest Of sea tragedies
Is a strange experience, but this survivor
takes Il all with fine fortitude. He Is a
fireman, and his first business will be to
60 to Liverpool and get another Job. We
need not suppose that he has any special
passion for the sea, or, still more roman
tically. that the sea lures him In spite of
himself. He gets his livelihood on ships,
and the sea and past disasters, or future
Possibilities of disaster, are all accidental
Incidents of the very ordinary business Of
earning a livelihood. OF course, your
mathematician, with his doctrine of prob
ability, win tell you that the fireman Is
on the side Of mathematics. But II Is not
mathematics that carries him through. It
Is Just the simple discipline of habit and
of duty, the necessity Of getting through
ones work and the faculty, through that
work, OF tanning ones fancy, that makes
life at all practicable. But for these
the world Of the .qutetest city would be
more full OF paralyZing fears than the
jungle fullest OF Wild beasts.

he kept the pig absolutely clean and
that the animal "keenly relishes the

"Terry's' pig was not the heaviest

OF cost, won out over his nearest rival,
whose pig was heavier, but was raised
at q cost OF 5.5 cents pound. Terry
weaned the pig himself, built the pen,

Maxine Il CompIete.

Mr.. Fred Kerr, the actor, was play
ing at Ranelagh, and at the Lake
hole drove eight successive balls
straight into the water. He had no
more left in his bag, and there was
nothing more to be done-except one
thing. SEEKING his bag of clubs, he
walked dramatically to the lakes edge.
Then in a broken voice he said:
"Old pond, have these as we'll" and
turning, with a sigh, walked home.

WAR MAY MAKE
CHILL WEALTHY

New York, Aug. 81. Because it
has the greatest deposits of nitrate
OF soda in the world, which product
the warning nations need for the
making Of powder, nitro -glycerinc,
dynamite and other explosives, the
Republic OF Chilli will benefit as no
other country will from the Euro
pean struggle. ParadoXical as it
would seem, nitrate of soda. which
is a fertilizer, is the greatest agent
in the world for increasing the pro-
ductiveness of the earth, will now
be turned into an equally great
means of destruction. In times of
peace the United States used for
manufacturing explosives three
times the amount of nitrate used
in the production Of fertilizer. No
estimate can be made of the amount
the world will demand during the
present war, but Chill will reap the
profit as the price goes upward

Equal Franchise Lea2ue has placed
a suffrage melting pot in store

bowl. and the public is invited to
contribute any old pieces of silver
or gold old trinkets, broken pieces
of iewelry, anything which can be
melted up, and add to the general
fund. SO far but few things have
been put in the pot, but it is be-
lieved this is due to the fact that
few people seem to understand
about the fund and the way in
which it is being raised.
