Submersible oil Tanks for Supplying
Submarines.

The ability of the German submar-
ines to keep at sea for indefinite per
iods when hundreds of miles from any
German naval base has been one OF
the surprises of the war. II Is now
suggested that the Germans may nave
established secret submarine bases
consisting of submersible oil tanks at
unfreuuented points along the Nor
wegian coast and among the islands
at the west and north of Scotland, and
that the enormous supplies OF OIL re-
quired for the operation OF these yes
sells is obtained from this source. lhis
could be accomplished by means OF a
submersible tank that had alreauy
| been invented for commercial pur-
noses before the war began. This tank
| is cylindrical, is $50 IT. long and 80 II,
| in diameter, and has an oil capacity
of 2.2S0 tons. 1t is divided into four
or more compartments which can be
used for various grades OF oil and can
| be emptied separately or together
| Each end of the tank is divided vertl'
cally into two compartments. the up
| ner compartment being utilized as a
| pump house and the lower as ballast
or trimming tank. With these trim
ming tanks, which can be filled with
sea water or emptied by means oi
electric pumps, the cylinder can be
floated or submerged, or can be made
to float at an angle with the pump
house at one end above water. Al
electrical oil pump forms part OF the
equipment. When a submarine OF
other vessel is to replenish its bunk
ers it comes alongside, couples II:
electric cables to the pumps IN tins
valve house and pumps out the re
quired supply of oil, after which th'
tank is sunk to the depth required To-
concealment. A picture OF one O
these supply tanks in use appears II

BELIEF IS THAT ACTS WERE DELIBERATE

Acton. Mass.-With a shock that
was felt within radius of 40 miles
the glazing mill of the American Pow
der company, which since the war has
been working up to its capacity, blew
up early Sunday. So far as known
nobody was killed.
The actual money loss to the COM
pany was not heavy, but it was stated
that work on large orders probably
would be held up for several weeks
Property owners in the surrounding
towns, particularly in Maynard, were
heavy losers because of shattered win
dows.
The mill had been closed down since
Saturday afternoon and the police ex
pressed the belief that the explosion
had been caused with intent to cripple
the plant.
Armed guards have been statione'
about the works for several weeks.

have prompted her suicide.

THE COUNTY FAIR

Every farmer IN Carter county
should take enough time from his
work Saturday 10 cast a vote for his
township officer to the County Fair
| association two Of which must be
elected ffgm each township on that
day. The county commissioners have
| vitalikcd the law for this county and
| IL IL now up TO the farmers 20 see
/ that they are properly represented tn

Ardmore as city can be relied
upon 10 do even more than her part
when the time comes. and when the
Hair is held II wiii undoubtedly b.
Ane Of the best-if nst the best--an
fhe state.
Felix West, secretary OF the Com
m.rciai club, has already taken the
initial steps toward the end sought BY
notifying every township OF what
must be done under the law 20 make
the fair possible, and without ipdulg
ing in any iulsome hattery, 1t Is safe
TO say that no man in the state takes
a keener interest in agricultural de-
velopment than he, and his assistance
can be relied upon in perfecting the
plans.
The effect of the county fair move
ment in states where 1t has been tried
out has been astonishing 1t has pro
NOTED better farming, better stock
and injected more real business acu-
men into agricultural pursuits than
all other agencies combined.
one of the most powerful agents
which follow the county fair move
ment Is the desire to experiment, and
out of experiment comes results
which more than repay the labor ne
cessitatew.
The Carter county fair is not for
Ardmore but for the farmers OF the
county who take a live interest in II
and it will be the farmer who will
reap the benefits.
