RED TAPE CHECKS GENIUS
John Hays Hammond, Jr, However
Was Proof Against cIrcum-
locutIon.

II Is several years since John Hays
Hammond, Jr., perfected his radio-cons
trolIed torpedo. He submitted his do.
vice to the United States government
for investigation and approval. Army
experts were sent to inspect the inven-
ton and put 1t to the test, and one
after another they gave their unQuali-'
fed Endorsement to 1t. European ma
tons heard Of Hammonds invention
and offered him fabulous sums for it.
Many other inventors, after a slight
experience with the red tape which
must be unwound in dealing with their
own government, have, sold their In
ventions to European nations, where
they are now being used In actual
warfare, and where they would be-
turned against the United States in
the event of conflict. Hammond'a
patriotism, however, made him reject
European offers and wait for his own
government to act, Thomas f. Logan
writes In Leslie's. Congress finally
made an appropriation of $750,O00 for
the purchase of the device, which 10
useful mainly for coast defense pur-
poses. Army officers witnessed the
working of the invention and during
experiments a small motor boat was
driven in any direction several miles
from shore, responding instantly to-
the will of the wireless operator on
land. A board headed by Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood is to pass final judg-
ment upon the invention.

stroying tussock caterpillars is as fol-
