METHOD OF DETECTING
PRESENCE: OF SUBMARINES

y method for detecting the presence
Of submarines has just been invented
BY John Gardner. OF Fleetwood At
present. there is nothing. even on the
largest liners. which can be called true
observation stations from which fairly
high-powered telescope observation
can be made. The bridge is rigidly at
tached TO the ship. and participates in
all it's motions.
MIR Gardner's invention is pillar Sc.
on deck supporting stand, which car
ries not only "a telescope but the OBJ
server, and the motion of the stand
about every axis is gyrosCopically con-
trollcd. so that the telescope can be
used as conveniently in even violent
motion as would be the case from a
stable platform. With such an appara-
tus. 1t is claimed. il will be possible to
scrutin!ze every part OF the sea within
the radius of the telescope.

from Belgian mechanic, who was

the occasion Of the air raid By two
British flying machines, there were
obtained here to-day an astonishing
account of their performances
AT the yard there is lofty steel
arch. stretching, across some Of the

dock. which carries travelling crane
for lifting heavy weights
In order TO reach the particular
sheds in which the most important
work was being done, one of the Brit
ish fiiers dived clean underneath the
arch. shot through IL only fifteen or
twenty feet above the roofs of the
sheds. and accurately planted his
bombs as he did so.
He then shot up TO fair height,
and could apparently have got easily
away before the surprised German sol
diers could turn anything like an eff
fective fire on him.
Instead OF doing SO, however, he
slowed round and. spotting an open
space in the yard where a large mum
Der of troops had assembled and were
hrinE at him. he Owed to an elevation
of about 1000 feet and ,ropped an

CANDIDATES FAVOR NEW PRIMARY LAW
WALLS Al ONE OPPOSES II
PROPOSED ACT WOULD GIVE COURTS AUTHORITY TO
 PUNISH OFFENDERS.

Little Rock. Aug. 13.-So far as can be learned, every candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomina- tion so far announced has come out squarely for the proposed primary election law defeated by the last leg islature. The experience of the past four years in the contests for United States senator and governor has made it plain to every citizen that the present primary law was badly in need of revision. Both in the Kirby Clark senatorial contest, and the Brundidge- Hays gubernatorial con- test was sadly deficient in more ways than one, the courts holding that they were helpless to correct alleged wrongs for want of jurisdiction.
 The proposed law, which MT. Brun- didge is now seeking to initiate, will give the courts ample authority to punish all offenders who corrupt the ballot, or III any way attempt to de- feat the will of the people at pri- mary elections, whether they be held by Democrats or Republicans.
 Judge A. J. Walls, who is also be- ing mentioned as a gubernatorial pos sibility, although he has not yet an nounced his candidacy, stated in a public address several days ago that he was opposed to the proposed law because it delegated entirely toe much authority in one man. He favors the system giving party or ganizations full power to settle all contests when dissatisfaction over the count occurs. There is no penal ty prescribed under the present law but the act now about to be initiated makes it a felony, with punishment in the penitentiary, for anyone to commit fraud in primary elections The proposed law is something slml- lar to the laws now on the statute books relative to the commission o1 frauds in regular elections.

HOPE BOARDING RATES WILL NOT BE INCREASED WOULD KEEP MANY STUDENTS AWAY, EDUCATIONAL
 HEADS BELIEVE.

With the time for the re-opening of their annual sessions, officials of Hendrix College and the Arkansas State Normal are expressing the hope that there will be no attempt to in- crease the rates for students board this year. In both of these institu- tions the dormitory facilities are in adequate and the majority of the students are forced to secure board in private homes. Last year, just prior to the opening of the sessions, a con- certed movement to raise rates for board from 10 to 20 per cent had the effect of keeping a considerable num- Der of students from coming to Con- way, although the advance agreed up- on was not maintained when the schools were opened. So far there have been no indications of an In- crease, and the management of the institutions feel justified in assuring prospective students that private board may be obtained at rate not exceeding S15 per month. With food products cheaper than last year, it is not believed that there is any req son for an advance in boarding rates, but should they be made higher, 1t would unquestionably have serious effect in cutting down attendance at the local educational institutions.

SAYS RECEIVERSHIP '
 WON'T AFFECT STATE

Little Rock, Aug. 1S.-'I do not be- lieve the people of Arkansas will know of the receivership of the Iron Mountain, aside from what they read in the newspapers said a Little Rock man who is in a position to know. Ut will have no effect upon the inter- ests of the road in Arkansas, unless it is to increase the amount of work and betterments on its property in the state. I believe that it will prove the best thing that could have been done for the company, for it is the means adopted for providing a finan- cial readjustment."

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Dallas, Tex, Aug. 1S.-Galveston is still cut from communication with the outside world, as a result of the ter rife tropical storm which struck the Texas coast Monday night.
 The property loss is believed to be as great as in the storm of 1900, when 1,500 were drowned and SS,000,- 900 in property destroyed. Many lives are believed to have been lost. Three hundred feet of the causeway has been washed out.
 At Texas City it is reported that 50 lives were lost.
 The cotton crop in the coast region has been damaged millions of dollars.
 G. W. A. Wilson of this city today received a letter from his son, Prof. G. Rice Wilson, dated at Galveston, Tex, last Sunday, where tropical hurricane occurred, resulting in the probable loss of life and in much dam age to property. Nothing since has been heard from Prof. Wilson, prac- tically all means of communication with the outside world being cut off.
 Prof. Wilson was enroute home from San Francisco, Cal, where with Prof. Charles A. Black, a Hendrix College alumnus, he had ben visiting the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
