How Many Jewels
Were In Big Tower
BY United PresS1

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Pillow
many jewels are there on the expo
sition Tower of Jewels?
This is the question asked by
Washington customs officials of the
collector OF port here.
And how to answer it is a question
furrowing the brow of the'collector.
The jewels were brought from Aus
tralia and tradition has it that there
are 10000 of them. But the exposi-
ton officials have applied to congress
to allow the decorations, o in bond,
to remain in this country free Of
duty. Before congress will allow this,
it wants to know how many are on
the tower.

CALOMEL SALIVATES

There's nc reason why G person should
take sickening, salivating calomel when

1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which
will start your liver just as surely as
calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and
cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per-
fectly harmless.
CalCmel is a dangerous drug. 1t is
mercury and attacks your bones. Take
a dose of nasty calomel today and you
will feeA weak, sick and nauseated to-

Under-Sea Craft at Present Is.
Blind, Gropingl Fighting
Monster Which VIII Soon Be
Made Safe
BY JACK JUNaMEYER,

BREMERTON, Wash. May 16.--Whilt
protesting with his last word against
the methods of U-boat warfare in Europe
Uncle Sam is trying to get his own sub
marines in shape for any demand.
To make undersea craft safer is the
big problem engaging navy officials and
experts Inventors have been concen-
trating their attention on it, particular
" since the disaster to the F-4 at Homo
lulu last year.
Tests are soon 10 be conducted at
Puget Sound navy yard here of devices
designed to make these boats less peri
lous
At present, even with the lessons
learned and adaptations made through
European experiences, the submarine Is
but a blind. cropping, half-helpless fight
ing monster.
Among the devices to be tested here
this month is the new type of Edison
storage battery, to develop power Whlle
submerged, and the signal and telephone
system invented by Craftsman William
kirkland and Electrician William Her
bert. of Mare Island navy yard.
The Kirkland-Herbert invention con-
sists of a buoy attached to the sub
marine 0y long wire CdDAe ACiSaSSO
at will from within the boat, and carry
ing to the surface telephone Connection.
Searchers may thus talk TO men I'M
prisoned in Inflated submersibles. To
further facilitate rescue, the maike
buoys will have steel lines to which
heavy cables may be fastened. drawn
through big rings on the hull.
This might eliminate the tragic, tedi-
Gus cropping that featured the hunt for
the F-4 with its cargo of dead men.
Electric batteries are a dangerous
source of trouble. Chlorine gas, a dead
ly vapor, formed by salt water coming
in contact with the electrolyte of the
batteries, is supposed to have snuffed
out the lives of the F-4.
In January of this year an improved
Edison battery was being tested when
q fatal explosion occurred Experts be-
lieye that in eliminating the chlorine gas
peril, the new type cell generated twice
the former amount of hydrogen, and
this mixing with oxygen, filled the cells
with a powerful explosive.
There seems room for vast improve
ment still in this feature of the sub
marine.
The tests here will be carefully watch
ed by navy men. and the building pro-
gram for submarines may to some ex-
tent be determined by the results.

C. O.P. FACTIONS FIGHTING
TO CONTROL PENNSYLVANIA
All Parties Are Holding First
Presidential Primary Ever
Held in State
CBy Associated Press.)

| PHILADELPHIA, May l6.-PrimarJ
elections for all political parties were
held throughout Pennsylvania today
the voters for the first time partici-
Ipating in a presidential primary, but
little interest is being taken, as there
is but one name entered on each of
the party tickets.
President Wilson's name is the only
one on the Democratic ballot; Governor
Martin c. Brumbaugh is alone on the
Republican ticket, and Allen l.. Benson,
of Yonkers, n. Y, who has already re-
ceived the Socialist nomination fol-
president was the only name placed on
the ballot of that party.
The greatest interest in the primary
centers in the fight within the Re-
publican party for control of the dele
cation to the national convention. Pen
rose is opposed to Governor Brumbaugh
and each faction has set up separate
set of twelve delegates at large In ad-
Id;tion to candidates for district oele-
gates. In their final statements each
side contended it would have ma
jority of the seventy-six delegates. Sen
ator Penrose wants the delegation to go
to Chicago uninstructed, while the
| Prumbaugh faction is supporting dele
gates who have promised to support the
popular choice of the party fin the state
for president.
The two factions are also stralnlns
every effort to elect their respective
candidates for auditor general.
BOTH SIDES FOR KNOX.
Both clements in the Republican
party have united in supporting phil
ander c. Knox for the United states
senate to succeed George T. oliver and
as Mr.. Knox has no opposition ms
nomination is assured.
The most important contests In the
ranks of the Democratic party is that
for national committeeman Former
Congressman Mitchell Palmer, the pres
ent national committeeman is being
| fought by Michel Libelm Jr. of Erie
The Democratic factions have also placed
in nomination two sets of candidates
for delegates at large but all are pledged
to support the denomination of Presl-
dent Wilson at st. Louis. The two DEM
ocratic wings are also contesting Tor
the nominations of virtually all the 9TH
er offices to be filled in November.
Other nominations to be made by the
several parties include state treasurer,
| four congressman at large, 80 district
congressman, judge of the state supreme
court and members of the state commit
| tee.
| In Philadelphia there is a warm fight
for control of the local Republican or
ganization, with Senator Penrose and
lState Senator James P. McNichols
ranged on one side, and Congressman
W S. Ware his brother state senator
f.. II. Ware, Mayor Thomas B. Smith
and Governor Brambaugh are on the
CHER side. The split in the Republican
Organization has imperilled the authori-
zation Of the proposed municipal loan
