new X RAY SHOWS
HAND BEHIND DOOR
Danger Of Burning Eliminated
by New Invention.

New YOrk.-After fifteen years of ex-
perimentation marked by many re-
verses and disappointments, Charles
H. Stanley, an electrical engineer, an
nounced that he had perfected an K
ray device which will mark as great an
advance in the science of surgery and
therapeutics as the original x ray of
Roentgen.
A demonstration of the machine in
Stanley's laboratory made it appear
that the forecast by Guglielmo Mar
conf that one would some time be able
to look, from one room into another
through the dividing walls is about to
be realized.
Through an ordinary door an inch and
an eighth thick and twelve feet from
the ray generated by the electrical ma
chine reporter was able to distinguish
clearly the bones of the hand Of Stan
ley moving on the other side, as we'll
as to see the outlines of his hand.
This test was made simply to illustrate
the immensely greater power of the
new machine over the old x ray de-.
vices. 1t is only one Of the improve
ments claimed by Stanley.
The principal value Of the discovery
lies in the fact that the rays may be
applied to patients for extended peri
dds Of time without the slightest dan
ger Of burns resulting. The danger Of
burns, often incurable, has been one
Of the most serious drawbacks to the
use Of the old K ray and often has off,
set the advantages accruing.
The Roentgen rays are ordinarily ap-
piled only long enough to obtain a pic
ture Of the wound, fractured bone, dis
location or diseased portion of the
body on which it is proposed to Qp-
crate. With the new rays a photo
graph is not necessary, as the rays
may be continued an indefinite len 9Th
Of time on the patient, and the sur
geon may work directly in the ray.

year flew from Rome to Venice cross
ing the Apennines. The construction
Of a fleet Of dirigibles was decided upon
in 1911. Three types were constructed
the small type P class), a medium
(M class and large "a Glass;, ranging
from $500 cubic meters capacity to
more than 10000 cubic meters.
When the Italo-Turkish war began
several Ps and an M were shipped to
Libya. They proved Of great value in
the military operations in Africa.
Enrico Forlanini's Leonardo da Vinci
having proved successful example Of
the semirigid airship, the citizens Of
Milan bought ship from him and pre-
scented it to the government, calling it
the Citta di Milano, in 1918. Another
Forlan1ni type has been added to the
fleet.
The most recent additions have been
10000 cubic meter Brigata Specialist,
called the CT, and a speedy vi, built
by the same establishment after plans
by an aerial engineer named Verduzlo.
The craft can make ninety kilometers
an hour. Eleven dirigible sheds are
scattered over Italy.
The Italian aeroplane fleet, which
was a factor in the Libya victory, con-
sists Of fifteen machines and two sea
squadr0ns, each Of ten machines, seven
active and three in reserve. The per-
sonnet consists Of ten pilots, officers
and noncommissiOned officers and fifty
enlisted men (mechan1cs).
The land squadrons are made up Of
armed scouts with machine guns and
gun spoilers. Sixty fast monoplane
''spotters'' recently were delivered to
the army. Many powerful atmored
''bombardiers" are under construction.
The new Caproni bombardier. plane is
biplane, armored and carrying one
inch quick fire gun in front: It can
make seventy-fve miles an hour AMI
can stay aloft twenty-fi hours.
Only four types Of machines are used
in the Italian service, although many
older types are used in the aviation
| schools. The four are the national
Caprint, the Savoia- Farman, the Sit
Bleriot and Nieuport-Macchi.

President Wilson has directed Attorney General
Gregory TO investigate the rise of prices of wheat
and -four.
The fact that wheat dropped cents in the first Is
minutes of trading after reports of investigation
received is in itself ample indication to the lay
man. that there exists good and sufficient reasons
for the proposed inquiry
But why not at the same time investigate the cor
respondingly low price of cotton? While admitting
a more or less curtaied market Immediately follow
ing the outbreak of the European war, yet govern
ment bulletins recently issued declare that the
ports of cotton at the present time not greatly
below normal Added to that is largely augmented
local demand many eastern manufacturers having
purchased three or four years supply of cotton
These conditions, together with the admitted fact
that the cotton acreage in the southern states par
ticularly Texas, will be reduced from Is to 40 per
cent next planting, should go far toward restoring
the price of cotton.
However, that staple still fingers around the low
water mark with persstency that savors strongly
of market manipulation, and hint of congressional
investigation might produce the same salutary re-
suits in the case of wheat
There's nothing like good bluff backed by Uncle
Sam.

POOR OLD RICH MAN." HIS
MONEY BRINGS HIM MISERY

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 27-"Ii
you win you lose, and IL you lose
you don't win; it's a dead sure
game any way you play it-foI
the lawyers!
The speaker was Loren Coburn
"The Poor Old Rich Man of Pes
cadero." He was discussing the
outcome of his six-year battle to
have himself restored to compe-
tency which he finally won only
to find that he faced another suia
for attorneys fees aggregating
$4,000.
Loren Coburn is S8 years old
and is a millionaire several times
over. He has attracted widespread
attention and considerable SYM
pathy because he was always
suing or being sued and always
losing. Because of his great age
he was declared incompetent to
manage his vast fortune and then
1t was that he launched the fight
for a freedman's privilege of
minding his own business.
Professor Hugo Munsterberg of
Harvard has said that Coburn is
one of the most interest psyche
logical studies in the United
States. He is more than that. In
the language of George AIDE, ne
is the Fall Guy incarnate for Men
of Law.
Single-handed and alone the
patriarchial Coburn wrested his
fortune by manipulations in old
Spanish land grants. A little
more than six years ago the aged
millionaire, living the simple life
on his ranch at Pescadero, Cal,
awoke one morning to find that a
nephew, ARA Coburn, in far
away Holyoke, Mass, who had
taken no part In the amassing of
his fortune, had come to the con-
clusion that his millionaire uncle
was mentally irresponsible and
unable to manage his properties.
Reinforced by a battalion of at
torneys, AFRO Coburn fought at
hand-grips in the California
courts with his aged uncle, and
through the amazing miracles
that these modern conjurers of
brief, demurrer, writ and other
implements of involuted and con-
voluted verbiage were able to
perform, the patriarchial master
Of millions was deprived of the
privilege of minding his own bus

6ulIy For Tavenner!

The house has passed the army appropriation
with some increases of provision for national de-
tense but the most important and significant part of
It's action is adoption of amendment requiring that
all munitions of war provided for in the bill shall be
manufactured in government plants
This is a fine step forward in national economy
and governmental morality and the nation owes
thanks to Representative Clyde H. Tavenner, a
young congressman from Illinois, who pressed the
amendment and who has made it his speciality to
boost the policy of letting Uncle Sam do things and
do them honestly. More power to Tavenner, and his
like!

Safety First

What great relief it must be to soldier who has
gone to war to fight, bleed and die for his country
to be captured by the enemy.
His life is no longer in DANGER he gets all he wants
to eat and place to sleep where the shrapnel and
bullets don't threaten.
OF course, there isn't much glory in being pris-
oner of war; Out on the battle front man can swap
leg, an arm, lung his home after it's all over
and live happily ever after
If the priyates in those warning armies knew
what was good for them they would hurry up and
surrender and the joke would be the other fellows
who captured them.
There is nothing heroic about being prisoner of
war, but it has many advantages over being hero
The poet said that heros fate was
"A dose Of cold lead shot into his head,
And his name spelled wrong in the papers,

mess.
Then began the six-year fight
of Coburn. He performed all
sorts of gymnastics, both legal
and physical, to convince juries he
was sane and capable of minding
his own business. Some juries de-
clared him incompetent, while
others Of his peers stated that
they didn't know what to think.
Finally, however, a jury sitting
before Superior Judge Cabaniss of
this city declared that the vener-
Nable old rich man was physically
and mentally capable of manag-
inf his own affairs without the
interference of his doubling
nephew or any other meddling
persons.
Back to his ranch at Pescadero,
Cal, went Coburn twitching his
patriarchial white beard in Ella
ton, and figuring on a period of
serenity undisturbed by the strife
of attorneys.
But he was apparently over
confident for, after paying one
bill for attorneys fees of $4,000
other bills came In aggregating
$4,000 and Coburn refused to
settle, so back to court must go
the poor old rich man for another
tournament of law.
