seIsmogrsphs to Find Batteries.


Among the many things 70 which
science has turned its attention and
abilities since the beginning Of the
European war. none. perhaps. has
been Of greater Importance than the
development Of sOne means By which
men In the trenches could locate with
fair accuracy the position OF an op-
posing battery or group Of machine
guns This matter has been worked
on In many ways, but the nearest sci
ence ever came TO sowing the propO-
sifion was the use oe strong glasses
with the aid Of observation balloons
and aeroplarcs
Now. howeycr, a new development
has been announced. IN which the seis-
mograph, long known as an earth
quake detector. is made use OF. 1t IS
declared 70 be possible to tell from
the shock Of the gunfre just how
large the guns are, what their distance
away is. and the exact direction in
which they lie. A Apracticed eye, 1t is
claimed, can tell not only these points,
but can distinguish between the shock
Of firing and the shock Of a missile
striking the ground, and also is able
to determine Just how many guns
compose any battery that may be in
action.

See Many Prospects

The fine weather which set in for
a brief spell Monday stimulated the
automobile business in Morris and
dealers were out with prospective
buyers. Others came in to inquire
the price and quality of the cars while
some of the women rang up to know
if there were any free joy ride de-
monstrations. One dealer who re-
ceived a couple of calls of this kind
says he was more than pleased to &C
commodate them for it is the women
who first get the auto fever and then
father has hard time ducking the
responsibility of neglect in the matter
of ownership of a family car. Deal
ers say there are several auto deals in
sight. Harry Quigley, who is dis
playing the Oakland, and Guy Stew
art, who has the Overland, each feel
we'll pleased with prospects but are
fearful of an immediate raise in prices
threatened by the manufacturers.

Orchestra Leader Dies

E. K. Stewart, leader of the Ste

Morris at frequent intervals for the
past few seasons, and we'll known and
popular in this city, died suddenly at
his home at Redfeld, S. D., Satur-
day, April 8, after being i'll only
few hours. He was a specially gifted
young man and the news of his death
will be received with keen regrets
everywhere.
Mrs. Stewart will continue the or
chestra of which she will be the
leader. A violinist will be secured
and after few rehearsals the or
chestra will again cover the old cir
cult, beginning with the fall months,
or possibly before. The old orchestra
name will be used.

Why Auto Tires Heat

1t is we'll known that after a long
and fast run the tires of an automo-
bile are found to be very hot, and
many have supposed this is the result
of the friction of the tire on the road.
The Scientific American says that
such is not the case, at least as to
the greater portion of the heat.
'The real cause of heating" says
that magazine, "is the internal fric-
tion of the tire itself, for as the tire
is being constantly DETECTED by con-
tact with the road the various piles,
or layers, which compose the tire do
not act uniformly, and consequently
there is more or less motion between
them that results in friction and
heat. The greater the change in
shape in the tire as it contacts with
the road the greater will be the fric-
tion.
"Of course the harder the tire is
pumped the less will be the friction,
but it is evident that, while a perfect
ly rigid tire would generate but little
heat, it would fail in giving easy rid
ing. So we must put up with some
heating and consequent wear of the
tire. The subject is one that is being
successfully studied by the tiremak-

WORKED LIKE SIN
WHEN HOME BURNS
Sunday Night Blaze in Rooms
Over Splitstoser Butcher Shop
Results in Loss

Fire was discovered in the living
rooms over the Splitstoser butcher
shop late Sunday night and before the
flames were under control considerable
damage had been done to the building
and household furniture. The loss is
estimated at about $500, fully COW
cred by insurance. The losses will be
adjusted today.
The origin of the fire remains a
mystery but is believed to have been
caused from defective light wiring.
All members of the Splitstoser family
left the rooms early in the evening,
leaving one light burning. The wires
ran along the wall near the wood
work. All the fires in the stove had
been extinguished early in the after
noon. George and Walter were at
the picture show. They returned to
the shop about eleven o'clock and de-
tected odors of smoke. While they
were investigating the matter the
crash of a mirror upstairs attracted
their attention. Reaching the door
they were repulsed by a column Of
dense smoke. No time was lost in
sending in a fire alarm but they hur-
ried to the shop below where they at
tached a hose to a faucet and began
fighting the flames.
The heaviest loss comes through the
destruction of several hundred dol
lars worth of clothing. Much of the
furniture was damaged beyond re-
pair. The walls, ceiling and floors
in two rooms were badly scorched.

Voss a small scare Tuesday afternoon
when he attempted to remove the ves-
sci, using great pair of pliers as a
pan litter. Mr.. Voss was applying
the parafne to the interior of his new
film tanks while friend was loiter-
ing about the studio giving instruc-
tions and occupying the artists time
generally. Just to add to the excit-
ment Mr.. Voss spilled the parafine in
to the fire and for time it looked as
if the distress signal would be flashed
to the fire department. And to de-
monstrate that artists are real heroes
Mr.. Voss stepped nimbly into the
danger and turned off the gasoline.
Dense smoke and odors of parafine
filed the rooms for some time.

Club Guarantees $1,000

Prof. Sorfaten, instructor of music
and a band leader at the Morris uni
versity farm school, is eagerly sought
at Glenwood where he is popular as
leader of the band. The matter of
finances is troubling the band boys
and they have appealed to the Glen
wood commercial club which appointed
a committee to devise a plan for re-
tanning Prof. Sorfaten. A list is now
being circulated and it is hoped to Sc
cure one hundred citizens to pledge
ten dollars each to be used in case of
necessity. The band hopes to meet
its own expenses but it wishes to be
on the safe side in securing Prof.
Sorfaten's services.
Under the proposed arrangements
Prof. Sorfaten will direct the band,
organize and develop an orchestra and
a drum and fife corps.

Keeps an Eye on Whist Sharks

Capt. A. A. Davidson and family
came over from New Prairie Saturday
and spent Easter Sunday with friends
in Morris and incidentally attended
church "Things are rather quiet out
on the siding just now,' said Mr..
Davidson. "Some of the farmers be-
gan seeding last week and l don't
look for much grain at the elevator for
some time. When the roads are in
better shape expect to come over
with the auto and look after these
whist sharks. I fear they have not
made a very good showing the past
winter.' Mr.. Davidson is the only
grain dealer at New Prairie and has a
monopoly on the business. He still
carries Morris commercial club key,
and is one of the whist authorities of
the club.
