NEW YORK, February 10.-The
United States Navy now has the most
effective torpedo in the world. it was
announced after a meeting of the naval
consulting board held behind closed

Among the documents submitted to
the boards members for their study
and instruction were the correct de-
signs of some of the latest and most
powerful war craft of the navies of the
warning powers of Europe. The board
refused to divulge how these came into
the possession of the board. 1t was
admitted that the foreign plans showed
many improvements in warshiD con-

GASOLINE SUPPLY
SHOWS INCREASE
Advances in United States
Over ITO Per Cent Be-
tween 1909 and 1914.

Gasoline production in the United
States increased more than 40 per
cent between 1909 and 1914. according
the recent census of manufacturers
the recent consus Of manufactures.
The report shows also that it increased
moro than 2o6 per cent in value.
The report covers the whole subject
Of petroleum refining. It shows that
from the 176 establishments operating
refineries products were delivered dur
ing the year 1914 valued at $39s,361,-
405. There were only lat establish
ments reported in the census of 1909,
and these showed products valued at
S236,997,659. indicating that the value
of the annual production has increased
by $159.S63.74S, or 67.2 per cent.
Total Of 29, zoo, 7e4 Barrels in 1914.
Naphthas and lighter products,
chiefly gasoline, according to the re-
port, increased from 10,S06,550 barrels
In 1909 to 29,200,764 barrels in 1914, or
by 1902 per cent, while the value in
creased from s39,771,95s to $121.s1s.-
S07. or 2o65 per cent.
The gasoline product Of tho petro-
leum refineries does not include cas-
ing-head gasoline condensed from nat
ural gas at the gas wells. The total
gasoline production, including casing
head gasoline, was 24,7I1,565 barrels Of
fifty gallons. or 1,235,578.250 gallons.
The 176 establishments reporting for
1914 used 191.262,724 barrels Of crude
petroleum, as compared with 120,775, 439
barrels in 1909. the increase being TO-
4S7.2S5 barrels. or 58.4 per cent. The
cost of the crude petroleum, as re-
ported for 1914. was s2f9, 1856, an in
crease of $97.420.s16. or 81 per cent,
over 1909. There was also reported for

Other Problems Dealt With.

Reports were submitted by subcom-
mittees dealing with problems of chem
istry and physics as applied to war
, fare, internal combustion motors. cleo
tricity, mines and torpedoes. subma-
rines, ordnance and explosives, wire
less telegraphy and other means of
communication. transportation, ship
construction. steam engineering, sani
tation, public works, yards and docks.
and score of other matters that are
vital in the administration and opera
ton Of great navy.
Howard f. Coffin submitted in great
detail the plan approved by the Presi-
dent and worked out by committee of
the board for the mobilization of the
industries of the country, while Thomas
\. Edison submitted the final and COM
plete plans and specifications for the
great laboratory and experiment sta
tion which it was unanimously voted
to recommend to the favorable atten-
ton of Congress. The plans for the
laboratory call fora series of twenty
three buildings, and in each one Of
them every inch of space is accounted
for.
Buildings Provided For.
The blue prints numbered more than
100. The principal buildings provided
for in the scheme are the administra-
t1on, cne1nlcdi anu pnySIcal LABORATORY,
machine shop. erecting shop, forge
building, foundry, pattern and carpen-
ter buildings, sheet metal shops and
power house. The buildings range in
height from two to four stories. The
preliminary cost for the proposed ex-
perimental station is placed at $780,
900. When completed in all details the
final cost will be between $4,000, 900
and 100000.
Mr.. Edison said:
with such laboratory in operation
it would be possible to turn out a sub
marine in sixty days. 1 would put
300 men to work, each man. making
certain parts. In the old way it re-
quires five months to build the engine,
but by the method have suggested it
could be set up in six days. I am told
by an admiral that it took a year to
get specially designed gun carriage,
which I am satisfied could be built in
seventy-two hours in the laboratory.
The new buildings will be equipped
with universal tools which can be ap-
piled to all kinds of work"

RICHMOND, Va, February 1o.-R-
e. Cabell, former commissioner of in

laration that statements set forth in
the letter alleged to have been written
by Col. Allen. which purported to show
that political plan is on foot under
the leadership of formed Postmaster
General Hitchcock to attack the state
organization and swing the Virginia
delegation to Mr.. Hughes. are absolute
Iy untrue.
STANTON. Va. February 10.-Col. S.
Crown Alien. former postmaster OF
stanton, was greatly surprised when
told of the publication of letter pur-
porting to have been written by him
and sent by c. Bascom Slemp to
Justice Hughes. Col. Allen says that
ne has written but one letter bearing
on the presidential campaign. and that
was to constituent in Highland
county asking the support of that sec
ton for Mr.. Hughes. That letter was
confidential. Col. Allen admits that he
has been working in this section of
Virginia for the Supreme Court justice.

fact that by nature, by training in the

knows the needs of the state and it's

Depositors and other patrons at the
Stevens County Bank have a chance to
know just how their balance stands
every day if they so desire. Last
week the bank installed a posting
and listing machine which greatly
simplifies the work and acts as a
labor saver. 1t is attached to an
electric motor and works smoothly
and accurately, and almost win hu-
man intelligence.
Instead of waiting till the books
are turned in at the end of every
month, as heretofore, the accounts
are now posted at the close of each
days business. The machine has
adding and subtracting features also.
Each customer will receive a neatly
printed statement at the end of the
month along with their cancelled
vouchers each one accurately listed.
This plan has been tried out by a
number of successful banks and has
proved great improvement over the
method Of calling in and balancing
passbooks. 1t enables the bank to
keep an up-to-date account and to
furnish the customer with complete
statement of his account in a few
minutes at any time. The machine
will also post the bank ledgers and
provide an automatic and absolute
proof of every entry on the ledger

ACCIDENT YIELDS
new CORN SECRET
New Process of Treatment May
Shorten Maturing Time and
Increase termination

While Minnesota farmers are deal
ing with a seed corn situation that is
said to forecast a decrease in both
acreage and production the coming
season, the university comes forward
with announcement of discovery that
may 60 toward righting conditions.
If future tests sustain present in
dications, every bushel of corn planted
may be made to send up more sprouts
and these sprouts may grow so fast
that several weeks may be gained in
maturing time of the kernel.
Scientists at the university farm be-
l1eve they have discovered, quite by
accident, a commercially practicable
method of increasing the termination
rate of seed corn. 1t came about in
experimenting with various insecti
cides to be used in treating grains.
Prof. VIM. Moore of the entomology
department and Prof. H. K. Hayes of
the agronomy department have been
working on Immigration processes for
killing grain parasites: 1t was i'm
portant that termination qualities of
grain treated should not be impaired
in fumigating so they regularly
checked paintings of the untreated.
1t was in connection with the use
of nitro benzine that they bumped in
to the unexpected. They found that
not only was the grain not impaired
for seed purposes, but that it was
actually bettered. Corn seemed to
thrive on the fumes of nitro benzine.
Not only was the percentage of germ
ination increased by treatment, but
the rate of termination also was
speeded up.
The experimenters checked and re
checked, again and again, with the
same results. An experiment with
1911 corn, for instance, brought out
the fact that the fumigated seeds
sprouted nearly two days before the
unfumigated, when planted at the
same time, and of the former about
Is per cent more kernels terminated
than of the latter.
eve are not saying that the treat
ment will SO result with all corn, "
Prof. Moore said, cas- our expert
ments have not gone far enough to
justify so sweeping statement, but
we expect to wind up the most
significant test of all on the subject
next week, after which we shall have
something to announce.
''Nitro Benzine is an oil, coal
tar derivative. Its price has been
raised somewhat by war causes, but it
is commercially obtainable. We
fumigate the corn by placing it in a
closed box in which is suspended a
cloth saturated with the oil. The
fumes do the work.
eve think we'll enough of present
indications to make known our findings
at this time, so that farmers who are
facing critical seed corn situation
may try out the process if they see fit.
"Why does the treatment so affect
the corn? We haven't the slightest
idea. We only know that it has had
that effect with corn we have treat
