HUNDREDS OF WAR DEVICES
EXAMINED BY DEPARTMENT

Washington, Dec. 22.-Inventors
have been flooding the War Depart
ment with suggestions since the out
break of the European war, the
Board of Ordinance and Fortified
tions having reviewed an average of
800 proposals month, according to
its annual report made public today.
A new system has been .inaugurated
under which the department heads
will pass on these suggestions in the
first instance, relieving the board of
much useless labor as many of them
have no value.
The Board is at work, the report
shows, on schemes to prevent the
erosion of guns, developing new
equipment for field artillery, shore
control systems, submarine mines
and torpedoes, range finders, search
lights, Photographic apparatus and
many other devices for the army. 1t
has asked for 100000 to continue
it's work.
Among the boards recommenda-
lions is that for the purchase of the
Hammond radio dynamic torpedo pa
tents, for the acquisition and install
lation of which Congress has been
asked to appropriate $4,000. Dur
ing the year the board examined and
tested the Krupp field gun caisson de
designs, which have been found to be
in no way superior to American pat
terms. Experiments with other for
eign-built equipment have been de-
layed by the European war. Another
German invention discarded was the
Fontanamast, a field artillery obser-
walton platform. The board found the
quipment developed by the ordnance
department superior.
Work is proceeding with a device
invented by an officer of the coast
artillery for controlling submarine
mines by sound waves transmitting
the water and also with an
to regulate automatically |
the depth of the mines. A chain pro- /
jectile for shooting down barbed wire
entanglements failed under test.

prisons, and save the state at least
$4,000 year. This suggestion will
naturally not be received with favor
either at Eddyville or Frankfort.
However, 1t is plain that when the
convicts are put on the roads we will
need only one prisonI t is up to-
the legislature to find a way out Of
the difficulty.
From the short conference /
have had with Governor Stanley
feel confident that he will bring to
the prison problem an inquiring
trained mind and a sincere purpose
10 deal with 1t as a business propo-
sition, without reference to any po-
iitical exigency that may arise. He
Is going to demand efficiency ev-

plans are es comprehensive as they
are practical"

Argument for Upward Revision.

Across our Northrn border a trans
formation is taking place due to the
war, that constitutes a powerful ar
gument for a revision of the Tar
if upward-on a protective basis.
England is pouring millions of dol
lars into Canada to equip machine
shops for turning out war material.
Also for organizing automobile COM
panies, weaving industries, etc, in
the hope that in another year she will
be able to cut down her trade with
the United States and so avoid the
full effects of the terrific trade bal
ance mounting against England due
TO war operations in the United
States.
What will become Of those Cana
dian industrial plants fully organiz-
ed and equipped after the war? They
will have to be used and they will
be used-to invade the American
market.
Canada had much machine-made
industry in the past. But her prin-
cipal emphasis has been laid. upon
agriculture, numbering mining and
kindred enterprises. Now it is be-
ing over organized mechanically
speaking. Her mechanical energies
must find outlet after the war. This
country, being her nearest neighbor,
will bear the brunt of Canada's at
tempt to get rid of her surplus ma
chine-made products.
Republican members of the House
and the Senate should take these
facts in mind when the Democrats
opn up the Tariff question this win
ter by bringing in emergency bills
TO meet the deficits and for national
defense. Such bills will be open TO
amendment and Republicans should
press amendments to them, with the
view of making Tariff history down
10 date, in the light of the exper-
fence of the past two years of low
Tariff

College Recital.

A recital will ge given at the Col
lege Hall. Hartford, on Thursday ev-
ening, December 80, by Mr.. O'Sulli-
van, of the Louisville Conservatory
of Music. Mr.. O'Sullivan's musical
ability is well known in Hartford, as
he has been here several times be-
fore. His music is strictly high
class and he never fails to please his
audiences. The recital is compli-
mentary for Miss Margaret Nell. one
of Hartford's most beloved women
and talented musicians. The enter
tainment, which was. gotten up by
Miss Nails old pupils, should be
weel patronized.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1915-12-24

good place to say that the laws now
on the statute books governing the
prisoners are inadequate. carelessly
written. often contradictory, and
very much in need of complete re-
vision.
IF great care is not shown the
change from the contract system will
entail great loss on the state. The
average yearly expense of running
the two prisons is as follows: Frank
fort reformatory, $215,0O0; Eddy
VILE penitentiary, $12S,000. The
question arises will 1t be necessary to
maintain two prisons when the con-
victs are placed on the road? At
Frankfort the population is over L.
400, but when the road camps are
established there will be only 400
men under contract there, and such
other prisoners as are employed in
the kitchens. dining rooms, etc. This
will leave room for fully 900 men.
At Eddyville there will be no men un-
der contract.
"If the state was run as a bust
ness enterprise by business men, at
the first meeting of the board of di-
rectors the order would go out to re-
luce expenses by closing one of the

1t is claimed that Supt. Heiner

fairs of this property in hand and
has infused new life into it through
more capital recently secured, and
when weather conditions permit a

this fine property should again come

ducer. The mineral is there, plenty
of it, and there is no sensible reason
why this and other properties on

A Wonderful Work.

Perhaps the highest achievement
in the scientific world was reached
Monday afternoon when telephone
conversations We're carried on be-

ease as though those conyersing were
only few miles apart. This re-
markable achievement was enjoyed
by President Wilson Of the United
States. Prof. Alexander Graham Bel,
inventor of the telephone; Thomas
A. Watson, the first man to whom
Mr.. Bell ever talked over tie tele-
phone; President Moore of the Pan
anna Pacific Exposition and many
others. 1t was the Inaugural ion of

No Scarlet Fever in &.
Crested Butte

Some weeks ago scarlet fever, in
very light form, appeared in one
family here. They were IT once
placed in strict quarantine and the
city health officer directed every eff
fort to prevent contagion. So sue
ccssful was he, that the fever was en-
tirely confined to the one family.
The patients have fully recovered,
and it is safe to say that scarlet fever

3 400 miles of wire to connect the
eastern with the western coast. 1t
was as though the Atlantic had
reached over in its mighty splendor
and shaken hands with the peaceful
Pacific. The conversations occurred
about four O'Clock eastern time, and
one O'Clock San Francisco time.
President Wilson was the first per-
son not connected with the telephone
company to enjoy the privilege of
hearing "a human voice over 3, 400
miles Of wire. He stepped to the
telephone, and, placing the receiver
to his ear, said, in very clear and
impressive manner, to President
Moore of the Panama and Pacific eX-
position: 1t appeals to the imag-
inntion to speak across the CONT
nent. 1t is fine omen for the Ex
position that the first thing it has
done is to send its voice from sea to
sea. | congratulate you on the fine
prospects for successful exposition.
| am confidently hoping to take part
in it after the adjournment of con-
gress. May | not send my greetings
to the management and to all whose
work has made it possible and has
made it the great event it promises
to be, and to convey my personal
congratulations to you?"
As the president finished, Prcsi-
dent Moore of the great exposition
responded: I'VE are looking for
ward to your coming here. | think
you will be well pleased with what
we have done. | assure you, Mr..
President, you will never receive a
welcome that will be more cordial or
more enthusiastic.
Thirty-fourJyears ago, ,wher Alex
ander Graham Bell invented the tel
ephone, his first conversation was
with Mr.. Thomas 4. Watson. They
talked over line two miles long
At the close of President Wilson's
talk with President Moore, Mr.. Bell,
who was in New York, came in on
the line, and MIR. Watson, VINO was
in San Francisco, was also connect
ed, and the three held n short con-
versation. congratulating each other
on the scientific achievement. The
president said: Il consider it an
honor to be able to express my ad-
miration for the inventive geniusan
scientific knowledge that has made
this, possible, and my pride that this
vital cord should have been stretch
ed across America as a new symbol
of our unity and our enterprise. VIII

ulations to Mr.. Bell, and | want to

son J my personal congratulations. "
1t is an interesting fact that DIR.
Bell and Mr.. Watson used the same
Instruments Monday in accomplish
ing the transcontinental conversation
that they used thirty-four years ago
in accomplishing their two mile con-
versation. They also used part of
the same wire used then.

The Crown, on the south side of
Crystal mountain, is improving both
in quantity and quality far beyond
the expectation of the lessces. On
Saturday, two workmen took out
about two tons of ore in the fore
noon. The ore body is high grade
galena, containing considerable grey
copper, with, we think, good per-
centage of silver. From all indica-
tions we are safe in saying that this
will be one of .he large producing
mines of this camp the present year.
