FIRST PRIZE TO WAVERLY
Abilene Did Well ~ EmpoFia But
Failed TO Take Prize

In the singing contest at Emporis
yesterday Waverly, Kan, won first
place. Abilene girls did excellent
work but failed to win a prize.
The Abilene girls were disap-
pointed over a change in the ar
for the contest. It was
understood that all the contesting
glee clubs should sing the same Sc
lection and also a number of their
own choosing. In addition to the
work spent in practice upon the
song selected by the contest man
ayers, the Abilene girls devoted
much time to the selection which
hey expected to give as their spe-
,ial number. The arrangements were
so that only the one num-
yer named by the contest managers,
vas sung.
Miss McLatchey and the club re-
urned this afternoon.

INVENTIONS SENT TO
 WAR DEPARTMENT
300 Suggestions a Month Reviewed Since the Outbreak of the
 European Struggle.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Inventors have been flooding the war depart ment with suggestions since the out break of the European war, the board of ordnance and Qualifications having reviewed an average of 300 proposals a month, according to its annual re- port made public today. A new sys- tenn has been inaugurated under which department heads will pass on these suggestions in the first instance, re- 1ieving the board of much useless la Dor, 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 equip ment for field artillery, shore control systems, submarine mines and torpe- does, range finders, searchlights, photographic apparatus and many other devices for the army. It has
New Britain herald., 1915-12-22
asked for s3oO,Ooo to continue

work.
 Among the boards recommenda- tions is that for the purchase of the Hammond Radio-Dynamic torpedo patents, for the acquisition and in stallation of which congress has been asked to appropriate $947,0O0. Dur ing the year the board examined and tested the Krupp field caisson designs, which have been found to be in no way superior to American patterns. Experiments with other foreign built equipments have been delayed by the European war. Another German in NentiOn discarded was the FontanO mast, @ field artillery observation platform. The board found the equip ment developed by the ordnance de- partment superior.
 Work is proceeding with a device invented by an officer of the coast ar tillery for controlling subma rine mines by sound waves transmitted through the water and also with an apparatus to regulate automatically the depth of mines. A chain projec- tile for. shooting down barbed wire entanglements failed under tests.
