Congress May Vote Thanks.

Congress has become so impressed by
the spirit of Americanism revealed in
young Hammond that there is a move
ment on foot which will probably cul-
inmate to give him the vote of thanks
of congress, an honor rarely bestowed
and never before, so far as the records
show, on q man as young as Mr.. Ham
mond.
Hammond has spent an enormous
amount of money, contributed by his
father, and has given eight years to
perfecting the device. He began work
on the idea while still in college. For
years military experts have been try
ing to find the means of controlling the
course of an explosive engine directed
against q target. In foreign countries
several plans have been worked out,
but they all had some physical means
of control, such as wires. None filled
the bill
Young Hammond studied these Eu-
ropean devices and noted their short
| comings. Then for two years he eN-
perimented under the eyes of Briga-
| dier General e. NJ. Weaver, chief of
the bureau Of coast artillery; Colonel
Richmond P. Davis, assistant chief,
and Captain e. J. Behr. These three
| officers were not only convinced Of the
practicability Of Hammonds discov-
cry, but realized its tremendous value
as a coast defense weapon. They stat
ed in their testimony before the house
committee that the government would
make a tremendous mistake if it did
not avail itself of Hammond's offer
to sell his patents for practically any
sum the government experts might de.
termine to be reasonable.
Controlled From Mile In Air.
| So far Mr.. Hammond has been able
| to strike moving vessels at a distance
of eight miles from land controlling
station. 1t can be controlled witt
equal ease from an aeroplane at a
height of one mile. Within q short
time he is confident he will make il
possible for a flying machine foul
miles in the air to control the torpedo
and send it against a yEarship twenty
eight miles from shore. By repeated
experiments he has proved that his
torpedo can hit bamboo rod an incl
in diameter standing upright in tht
water ten out of fifteen times at {
distance of three and half miles.
Young Hammond also took into &C
count the probable defensive plans o.
the enemy against his torpedo. HI
has figured method of defense TO-
the torpedo against gunfire and othe
opposing radio activity.
He has two forms Of boats carryin,
the torpedoes, one on the surface trav
cling at fifty miles an hour, and tn
other submerged, with the expose,
parts being practically indestrucnM
by light gunfre. The surface boat, h
says, would travel SO fast It could no
, be hit 2f}l

The lIolstein COW is unequaled as
d producer of milk, and this breed
is also up in front as u butter pro-
ducer. This is true not because
Hostein milk is high in percentage
of butter fat, but by reason of the
large quantity OF milk given. For
use in the dairy the lIolstein has
many points to commend her The

Methodist Church Notes.
THE Homelike Church"

One would scarcely expect to find
the following editorial in such period
icAl as the "Wall Street Journal"
But that is where it first appeared.
and one should keep that in mind as
one reads it.
What America needs more than
railroad extention, and western irri-
cation, and low tariff. and a bigger
wheat crop, and a merchant marine,
and new navy. is a revival of piety,
the kind that mother and father use
to have-piety that counted It good
business to stop for daily prayer before
breakfast, right in the middle Of har-
vest; that quit field work half hour
earlier Thursday night, 20. - TO get
the chores done and 60 to prayer
meeting; that borrowed money to pay
the preachers salary and prayed fer
vently in secret for the rich man who
looked with scorn on such unbusiness-
like behavior. That's what we need
now to clean this country Of the filth
of graft, and of greed, petty and big;
Of worship Of fine houses and big ls,,ds
and high Office and grand social func-
TONS

The Star received shipment of
freight from Denver, July 20, that was
received at the freight depot at that
place the 18th. This is the first ship
ment in several years that has came
through in so short time. 1t usually
takes from ten to fifteen days to get
freight from Denver to Dolores. How
ever, there was a time when freight
came through in five days from the
time it was received at the Denver
Office. But we only enjoyed that kind
of service for trifie over year.

Brother Frederick of the Montezuma
Journal doesn't seem to understand
the County Seat proposition. Dolores
has not been seeking the county seat.
it has been offered to her and all she
has to no is to accept it There are so
many good things coming Dolores way
that she has been slow in deciding
whether to accept the county seat just
at this time. There is no question
about the matter if it is put to vote
of the taxpayers of the county.

hobos the past week. Evidently Du-

a hint to pass on. but SO far as we
know Dolores has never been guilty OF
such cruelty. Of course the only per-
sons that come under this head in Do
lores are the marshall, police magis-
trate and editor, all others either work,
gamble or bootleg.
