Dogs Among the Filters.

When Lieutenant and Mrs. Theodore
Marburg, Jr., arrived in this country
recently they brought with them a lit
tie Scottish terrier, Jockomeo, which
is one of several of the breed called
aviation hounds by the British forces
along the war front in France, where
they figure largely in the aviation
camps.
The little canine fier has a short,
low-lying body, a long nose, with
rough, wiry, black hair, streaked with
white, and a pair of brilliant eyes that
express a wealth of intelligence.
Marburg said Jockomeo and the others
of his breed in the camp are trained
to guard the hangers and give warning
when a hostile aeroplane makes it's APP
pearance.
These dogs make flights with the
aviators and hold the waste, spanners
and other tools in their mouths when
the aviators have occasion to make
repairs or adjustments.

J. ]. Coggin

On Sunday morning, October
Is, 1916. the spirit Of Joshua
Coggin departed this life for the
home prepared for it. He had
been sick for some time, and
death was expected for hours
before the end came. Several
days ago he had the misfortune
to fall from q rake receiving Sc
rious Injuries, and later taking
typhoid fever his life slowly
ebbed away.
Deceased was 81 years and 8
months Of age. He joined the
Missionary Baptist church at the
tender age of twelve years, and
lived a member until his death.
He was a good man and will be
missed in the community, as he
had lived a good portion of his
life in the community in which
he died.
Mr.. Coggin is survived by his
wife, five children, several grand
children and four brothers.
Funeral services We're conduct
ed by Rev. Russell, who spoke
words of consolation to the be-
reaved family, after which the
remains were laid to rest in New

CONTROLLED BY SOUND WAVE
line the Death Dealing Devices En-
ployed in Modern Warfare.


Lovers of opera, or otherwise, who
have had the pleasure, or otherwise,
Of hearing some Of the most modern
music, have cOmc to realize that 1t has
other attributes than that of soothing
the savage breast. But to blow up a
~battleship by means of Il Strauss dis
or a Wagner overture, to nip
Off proving submarines with a Verdi
cadenza, or to make Il mine-Strewn har-
Dor safe for YOUR W ships with the
tender notes of Il Schubert lullaby
Seems another matter.
Expressed somewhat after the fash
ion of verS libre, that is more or less
the results that are expected from an
invention demonstrated to the writer.
Lieut.. Stiles Nj. Decker of the Pacific
coast artillery is The inventor Of a de-
vice that he believes will go a long
way toward revOIutionizing our coast
defense. Patents have been applied
for and preliminary tests have shown
concluSiyely, it is said, that control of
underwater mines may be successfully
maintained through sound waves for
firing. testing or rendering the mines
neutral, 1t is believed to be the first
time that the energy of sound has been
used as Il can Of controlling the ac-
ton of 4 Ource Of energy.
The fact that mines have to be
either controlled from the shore or by
means Of wires or else planted loose
so that they will explode on contact
has long been Il source both of ex-
penSe and trouble, according to Lieu
tenant Decker. The cable to the mines,
when this is used, is very expensive
and becomes useless in the course Of a
few years. Also it is not a very diff
cult matter under certain conditions
for it to be destroyed by an enemy,
thus rendering the mines useless. The
mines that are simply planted with no
further means of control may become
as dangerous to the ships of this cOun-
try as they are to those of an enemy.
If there could be some means of con-
trolling them from the land without
the necessity of any actual physical
connection the advantages are so ap
parent that they need no enumeration.
After considering Il number of pos
sible solutions Lieutenant Decker con-
ceived the idea of using sound waves,
which, as is well known, can be carried
under water. With this as a working
basis he has built up his theory of
making a mine that will be controlled
by Il series of musical notes.

Nettleton Public Schools

Nettleton, Oct. 3d. 1t has
been said in our hearing several
times that the pupils of the Net
Teton Public Schools are rather
advanced for their age. 1t is
true that there are some who
seem to be over advanced. Un-
der the present school laws a
child can enter the public school
at the age of five. Surprising
that the child makes the primer
in his fifth year, the first grade
in his sixth year. ETC.. he will
complete the entire course in his
sixteenth wear. Now, if a child
comes at five years of age. does
we'll in his work, we as teachers,
do not feel that we ought TO keep
him from advancing each year
as he makes his grades. The
writer himself started to school
at the age of about four years
nine months, but he will not
vouch for the wisdom of the act.
A scientific survey of Nettieton
schools was made in the spring
of 1916. The result showed
rather to the contrary, that pu-
pills are far advanced for their
ages The survey was made on
the assumption that's child in his
fifth year ought to be in the
primer normally, in the first
grade in his sixth year. etc.
