loMAN's INVENTION
SOUGHT BY WARNING
NATIONS OF EUROPE

Keokuk, Nov 29.-The invention Of
q keokuk man. which promises to
greatly modify trench warfare, will be
used by the allies if the British gov
eminent accepts the plans and specl-
flcations which have been forwarded to
1t, in response to cablegram asking
for full details. The inventor is How
ard Hughes. son of Judge and Mrs.
Felix T.. Hughes Of this city. Mr..
Hughes has applied the principals Of
his vertical drill to work on q hori-
zontal plane.
BY means OF this modification of his
former patent, the drill can be used
in one trench to bore holes two feet
in diameter thru the earth and under
the trenches of the other side. BY
poking explosives and bombs with
fuses attached. into the bore made by
the Hughes drill and exploding these
it will be possible to tear up the OPP
posing trenches.
When Mr.. Hughes was In Toronto
some weeks ago. he talked with an
agent of the British government about
some ammunition contracts. Finding
that this demand might be uncertain
and might not be good investment
because OF the outlay of money for
machinery. he explained the adoption OF
the horizontal drill to the vertical drill
which he invented some time ago. the
Toronto man referred him to an agent
still higher up, and this agent declared
that Mr.. Hughes had an invention
which the allies were looking for. and
which he was sure his government
would want.
This agent Immediately sent re-
port to the British ministry. and
cablegram came to Mr.. Hughes to for
ward his plans and specifications at
once. This Is taken to mean that the
government officials liked the idea,
and that in all probability the inven-
ton will be purchased by the British.
Mr. Hughes proposes to work his
drill In a horizontal plane either by
hand power for close quarters. or by
electricity or gasolene motor power
where the drill must be forced for any
great distance. The drill digs hole
Of any size, right thru the earth and
rock and any strata which it may en-
counter does not stop the drill. Down
this hole could be pushed bombs and
other explosives in as great a quantity
as the engineers would wish to use 1t
has been figured that whole sections OF
an enemies trench would be wiped out
with the drill such as the Keokuk man
has invented.
The drill is covered with patent In
all countries The same patent. modl-
fed. is protecting the new horizontal
drill so that Mr.. Hughes has the sole
right 10 the sale of the machinery in
case the government Of one of the
warning nations accepts his invention.

RURAL CARRIERS REBELS.

Buck Grove, Nov. 29.-Saturday the

of this place. sered notice on the post
master that he will not serve the pa
irons on the six miles of inverted hill
sides recently added to his route, and
that he will not qualify as carrier II
appointed, as he might be. as he
passed the recent examination. More
ever, he says he has legal advice, and
does not think he can be forced to
serve the six miles in question as 1t
was not mentioned in his contract
when he took the job.
1t is reported that more than one
carrier in this vicinity is quitting, and
it seems that possibly the department
made a mistake in trying to lengthen
the route in parts Of this country
where the use of automobiles Is not
possible the year around. However, all
differences will no doubt be soon ad-
justed so that the rural communities
will be served promptly and regularly.

recently enacted state law, of which
Senator Allen is the father the board
decided il could do nothing but sub
nit, and therefore passed resolution
authorizing the building to advertise
for bids on the erection of the forty
two fire escapes.
Before passing the resolution the
board members briefly but unanimous
ly expressed their opinion of the new;

useless and extravaganza. They pointed
out that two escapes must be erected
on Grant school, which is absolutely
fire proof. IF there is ever an alarm
of fire there it would be much safer
for the teachers to lock the pupils in
the rooms than to let them crowd on
the fire escapes" declared President
DahmS.
Law Is Explicit.
The law. however. left no loophole
for escape. and as it makes the in
dividuai board members responsible
both civilly and criminally for refusal
to comply with its provisions. the
board decided there was no other plan
to follow but to submit to the state
inspectors order.
Our buildings are safe now, as safe
as they can be made, and new law
can not make them any safer de-
clared Superintendent Frank L. Smart.
He pointed out that many Of the de-
tailed requirements in Inspector Bye's
order were the direct opposite OF
recomme ndations that school men had
formulated after years Of study citing
the order that doors into study rooms
must all open outward. In order to
put up the fire escapes according TO
law there must be considerable
changes in the exterior of the various
buildings. Building Inspector Graham
is to decide the location of the es-
capes and to 20. K" their erection.
