Discovery Meets All Navy Tests ana
is Practical Solution Of Problem,
According to Chairman OF
Naval Advisory Board

New York.--American inventors
have solved the U-Boat problem, haV-
| ing announced that, after months Oh
study and practical work, plans nave
been perfected that will lead to the
humiliation Of German submarines
and the freeing of the seas Of the u
boat terror
A program to stop the rayages Oh
German submarines on maritime coni-
merce has been submitted to the gov
eminent by the naval advisory board
This was annousced ON May by W.
l.. Saunders, chairman of the board
He said the plan, in his opinion, was
practical solution Of the U-boat PROB
lem. He said IL was not purely theoret-
zeal, but that it had been proved by
actual tests along the Atlantic coast.
The scheme is not merely defen-
sive measure against the submarine.
Mr.. Saunders said ut called for OF
fensive operations on an extensive
scale"
Thomas A. Edison. who is president
of the board. did not originate the
scheme, Mr. Saunders said But the
inventive wizard. he said, had Deen
working tirelessly to perfect its many
phases. Since declaration OF war
against Germany Mr.. Edison and MS
assistants have been trying thousands
of schemes suggested to block Ter
many's undersea warfare, now admit
teddy the greatest menace to the Euro
pean allies and their new American
partner. the United States.
Behind the program submitted to
the navy department is all of the Ed
sonlan practicability and all of Edi-
sons definite skill in accomplishing |
the seemingly impossible. Announce
ment of the scheme by the chairman |
of the board dispelled doubts that 1t
might be merely another academic idea
devoid of practical use And that the
board made experiments before max
ing their find public, left little doubt
IN the minds of the navy officials that
1t last the wars greatest problem has
been unraveled
If the plan works, as few doubt II
will, American brains will have done
what European cannons and bullets
nave failed to do in three years of
No announcement was made of the
letails of the scheme.
Mr.. Saunders explained that an
of it had been made ut
his time to allay the fears of Ameri-
ans aroused by recent expressions by
american and British officials that the
J-boat snake was beginning to crush
he limbs of traffic between the United
states and its European allies.
Fifteen subcommittee of the board
ave been concentrating their efforts
n the U-boat problem, which now has
cen solved to the satisfaction of the
cards head.
Mr.. Saunders took pains to dlspel
ny suggestions that he was theoretical
l his findings.
"One part of the scheme involves
estruction of submarines; the other

Iained.

UNCLE J0E'S TOWN
CAUGHT IN DRY WAVE
Two Hundred Saloons to Close
As Result OF Elections
Effective Mayl.

Chicago, April 1S.-Voters of Illi-
noi5 drove cid King Alcohol or+ nf
some of his third-line trenches to-
day, leaving his hold on the shat
tered line highly precarious.
Twenty-one cities and towns vot-
cd on the wet-dry proposition and
the drys made important gains. And
most notable was the capture of
Danville, home of Uncle Joe" Can
ron, hitherto an impregnable and
isolated stronghold of the liquor in
terests. Today it flopped over to
the dry column by a majority of
2S2, thereby putting 72 saloons out
of business May 1.
The fight in Danville was hot.
The closest previous fight was in
1914, when the vets retained their
grip by the slim majority of 1871
This encouraged the dry forces to
redouble their efforts in today's
struggle.
In Zion City the Theocratic party,
headed by Wilbur Glenn Voliva,
continues in power. Effingham,
considerable town down state, went
dry by ZIG majority. Johnston
City, in the hottest election on its
history. went dry by $50 majority,
knocking out twelve saloons. The
Village Of White Ash, near by, also
voted cut it's two saloons.
The village of Adalusia, Rock Is
land county, Topped into the dry
column and its solitary saloon will
quit business in thirty days.
A roundup of the situation, with
some returns lacking, indicates that
approximately 200 saloons We're
knocked out today.

and too little cultivation. The farmer
who has been accustomed to regard a
shortage of moisture as the chief cause
Of crop failure too often concludes that
irrigation will cure all ills and insure
large yields.
When the surface soil is kept wet the
temperatures are lowered by rapid
evaporation, and the result is slower
growth and delayed maturity. If cult
walton be delayed until the surface soil
begins TO bake and crack, roots are eX-
posed and cultivation may then be very
injurious.
Small corn plants do not require q
large moisture supply. Early irriga-
lions stimulate an excessive growth OF
stalk. The large, sappy stalks usually
do not produce as much grain as those
normally developed and are less likely
to reach maturity before fall frosts
occur.
On land that is well cultivated and
kept free from weeds 1t is usually I'M
necessary to irrigate corn until about
the time the tassels and silks begin to
appear. A good supply Of water is
needed at this time, and irrigations are
Of much benefit to the plants in produc-
ing and developing ears. These irri-
cations should be thorough and follow
ed as soon as possible by cultivation.
Irrigating in burrows or shallow
bitches between the corn rows is better
than flooding the whole surface and al
lowing the water to come In contact
with the cornstalks.
The number Of irrigations necessary
depends upon the type of soil and the
amount Of moisture supplied by rain.
On average loan soils two or three ir-
ri;ations are usually sufficient Late
irrigations delay maturity.

A son WANDERED is YEARS
Minneapolis Family Believed Thir-

A Minneapolis boy, whose mystic
rious disappearance fifteen years
ago caused the police of several
cities to search in vain for him. is
back home, educated through his
own efforts and now successful

map-making house.
The "boy" is Arthur Schutta. His
father, Michael, did not recognize
IN the grown man who walked into
the Schutta home the thirteen-year-
old son who cleft his home in 1902.
The boy had long been given up as
dead.
In the family reunion that follow
ed, the son explained his disappear
ance. An uncomfortable ambition
to get out and work for himself led
him one summer day to walk twenty
miles south of Minneapolis. There
he worked on a farm for years at
S13 a month and his keep. Then he
went to Churchill, N. Y. worked at
odd jobs, became caretaker az the
home of a merchant, and finally ar
ranged to spend his afternoons in
