USE AEROPLANES
AGAINST THE SERBS

49, Hs-ara1Hittat 7 EaIH HGkIsnsa
London, June 2i.-tCorrespondence
OF TIE Associated Press) That aero
planes can be effectively employed
against submarines is the opinion of
=. Bin Desblede who is regarded
here as an authority on aeronautical
engineering. He has evolved a plan
by which, he contends, German sub
marine warfare against British COM
merce can be checked.
Put in a nutshell my scheme is as
follows" he writes In the Syren
and Shipping. "To have al Sc
lected places along the coast Of Great
Britain and Ireland number Of
small but highly efficient aerial
squadrons whose duty would be-
either closely 70 scrutinize the ara

line some $50 miles from it, or, in
special cases to act as a convoy 10

If the sea area defined above were
rendered q danger zone flor the

the enemy were made 20 realize that
within that zone their submarines
ran greater risk than the merchant
vessels they were 20 attack. then II
would follow that the submarine
blockade" would be rendered ineffec-
tual.
To meet the double difficulty Of hit
ting q moving submarine and Of the
possible harmless explosion Of bomb

Mr. Deshleds holds that aeroplanes
intended 70 tackle submarines must
be specially armed.
That special armament" he SAYS.
must consist OF a number Of eff
cient anti-suhmarino bombs capable ~
surmounting the two preceding dif-
fieultles. In other words, an anti
submarine air bomb, must damage
the submarine, whether il actually
strikes the vessel OF not, provided Il
falls within twenty yards 81 she
craft and IL must not explode on
impact with the water.
"Such submarine air bombs. =
Mr. Deshleds adds, have now been

100000 on the enterprise, and were
certain The scheme would pay; bat
the whole matter has been side

To the Public

The small compensation paid local agents by
Fire Insurance Companies for handling their bust
ness and the requirements of these companies to
the prompt remittance Of balances will not permit
Of extended credit to the public and at the time
allow the industry to remain on a legitimate and
profitable basis to the agents.
Therefore to correct the rapidly growing ten
dency towards unlimited extension of credit, which
unfortunately has become quite general in the in
surance business in Pensacola, the undersigned
local agents have found it necessary TO adopt the
following rule with reference to the payment OF pre-
miums which becomes effective, August /, 1915 viz.
Premium in full each and every fire and
tornado insurance policy must be paid in cash before
the 20th day of the second month following the
month i'm which the policy issued, after which time
if the premium any policy remains unpaid the
agent writing the shall have further option
as To extension OF credit and shall Immediately take
up said policy"
We solicit the cooperation of the insuring pub
lie Of Pensacola and sincerely trust they will appre-
cate the necessity prompting this action and the
spirit in which it is intended.

Peculiar Case of Oklahoma Boy
Again Draws Attention.
Is Rapidly Reeainins His Normal
Health and the "ossified" Condi-
tion of His Body Is Dis
appearing.

Enid, Okla-Merle Rea, the thir-
teen-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. E.
A. Rea of near Enid, Okla. who at
tracted nationwide attention a few
months ago as the "ossified" boy. is
rapidly regaining his normal health
and the "ossified" condition of his
body is disappearing. This boy was
afflicted in way that was q puzzle tn
all the physicians who examined him.
and there was never man for a long
time who would even attempt dag
nosis of the disease. The boy was al
most a human rock"
Some time before the disease made
its appearance he received fall from
second-story building, striking on
his back and shoulders. He appar-
emily was not seriously injured at the
time, but some time later his mother
in washing him, noticed that there was
hard place on the back of his neck.
Soon this became very noticeable and
began to spread. The boys body was
literally petrifying. His skin became
SO hard from the top of his head to
the soles of his feet that he was not
able to move around at all. Then the
disease began to spread to his internal
organs and the flesh of his body. His
tongue became hardened so that he
couldn't move it at all.
About that time physicians all over
the western part of the United States
became interested in the case and IA
number of clinics were held and the
lad examined in every way. However.
according to them. there was never
parallel case before in the history of
medicine.
Finally a treatment was taken up
on the supposition that the lad had
been injured in the fall and that there
was a spinal cord pressure that was
in some way tying up the muscular
action to an extent that the part of
the body affected was simply dying
Apparently the guess was correct
for the body responded TO the treat
ment, and the lad now is almost well

crossed the great plains with an OK

settled in Ogden.
In his fathers shop in Ogden John
M. Browning made his first gun at
the age of thirteen from iron taken
from his fathers scrap heap. In 1879.
when twenty-five, Browning obtained
his first patent. 1t was for a breech-
loading rife. In 1884 he perfected his
famous repeating rife, and in 1895
the box magazine which was used by
the United States army in the war
with Spain.
His name was unheralded in con.

lionth Weapon. Made In
Gold.

Ogden, Utah.-That the inventor of
some of the most deadly weapons be-
ing used in the war in Europe should
be an American is but a natural ex-
pectation from the Unborn inventive
ness of the people of this country. but
that he should be man of peace. a
member in good standing OF the Nor
mon church and practically unknown
to the world at large will come as a
surprise to many.
This notable inventor is John NJ
Browning of Ogden. Utah. Through
out his own state he is hailed as the
firearm wizard" but the great major
ity of newspaper readers probably
have never heard of him.
Browning is the first man who ever
harnessed the kick" of gun. and his
invention revolutionized practically
every form of firearm. Many thous-
ands of his machine guns and more
than million of his automatic pistols
are in use on the battlefields of
Europe today They are to be found

being fired. would be stopped by the
block of wood and would hurl the
weapon backward. The rifle was fired
and, as expected. 1t was flung back
ward against the wall Of the shop.
Browning's principle was established.
Very quickly the inventor had this
kick" harnessed in such way that
the gas pressure was transferred to
the breech mechanism and made to
operate all the movements of the gun.
II did so with such speed. after the
first pulling of the trigger. that no
fewer than 500 bullets could be fired
in a minute.
When applied in the automatic pis-
tol il was found that eight shells could
be discharged in the brief space of
one and three-fifths seconds. The re-
suit was that these weapons We're
quickly adopted by half a dozen gov
ernments for use in their armies and
navies.
Germans Use His Patents.
Since their capture of the city of
Liege the Germans, 1t is understood.
have been turning out weapons on the
Browning patents by the thousands at
the works of the Belgian Fabrique
National Whether they have kept ac-
curate count of what they owe him
in the way of royalties. Browning does
not know and will not hazard an
opinion.
Browning can never be induced to
say anything definite as to the sum he
receives in royalties. To form an
estimate his friends find as dithcuit
as to gain an admission from the in
ventor himself. Some of his hundred
or more successful patents he has
sold outright. From those which he
has placed on royalties his income
has been estimated at from slOO.OOO
all the way up to Sl,000.000 year.
On one occasion the experts OF a
well-known arms firm labored for
more than a year. it is said. in eff
forts to copy in smaller caliber. q
Browning gun the concern had pur'
chased from the inventor. Eventually
the president of the company sent for
Browning and offered him $4,000 to
accomplish the task. Browning, his
friends say. did it while on the train
on his way home from New YORK.
Mr. Browning is sixty years old and
has eight children. whose ages range
from twelve to thirty-four. Some oi
the sons are following their father g
footsteps Others are devoting them
selves to music and literature. The
inventor is feet 3 inches tall and
straight as a young Indian. When
not fishing he is fond Of hunting

co-worker, Matthew S. Browning. has
won many trophies as trap shooter
In his home at Ogden his principle
