INVENTION WINS
BURGLAR LIBERTY
Inmate of Nevada State Prison Makes
Important Discovery and Is
Given Freedom.

Carson City, New, Aug, 2s.-The
discovery of a new process for ex-
tracing oil from shale, has won q
pardon for A. H. Crane, who was
serving a term in the state prison for
burglary.
Crane devoted all his spare time to
chemistry and recently announced
that he had found a process by which
| oil could be extracted from shale at
small cost.
The warden Of the prison called his
process to the attention of the govern
ment which sent an expert to investi-
gate it.
Crane was granted a pardon by the
parole board yesterday in order that
(he may pursue his process and super
intend the erection of an extraction
plant. The federal expert informed
the parole board that Cranes method
of extracting oil from shale will be of
almost incalcula BILE value to the gov
ernment.

Liberty Loan Bonds which is to be
used for war purposes will be an
eventual loss to the United States and
us people; that it is all to be spent
Tor things used up in war or useless
except for purposes of war. 1t is we'll
to remember that a great deal of the
money raised by the sale of Liberty
Loan Bonds is to be invested in things
that will be of great use and value
to the nation when peace shall be de-
clared.
One thing that most people realize
will be of value is that it is going to
put this nation in a state Of prepared-
ness. While it is hoped and believed
that the end Of this war will be the
ending Of all great wars it will be
valuable thing to America to find her
self at its close prepared to enforce
the just DEGREES of peace. There may
be twilight zone between the close
OF TINS war and the establishment Of
peace all over the world and prepar-
edness will place America in a posi-
tlon to have that voice in the world
affairs that this nation is worthy of.
we know that voice will be for peace
and justice and freedom.
Millions are to be spent in the con-
W. VI IHcICHdnC Sn1DS and
these, at least those that escape de-
structlon in war will be a valuable in
vestment. There will be a tremendous
demand for merchant ships when
peace comes and, whether the United
states continues to own and operate
this merchant marine or whether the
ships are sold to private individuals,
the money invested in them by the
United States will be no loss to the ma
ton. 1T may be a great gain to it. In
the revival Of foreign commerce, in
the contest for foreign markets. the
united States will no longer be at the
mercy of foreign ship owners. We can
DO our own carrying trade and our
commerce will have a fair chance in
the foreign markets.
Billions of this money raised by the
sale Of Liberty Loan Bonds have been
and are to be loaned to those Euro
pean nations engaged in war with
Germany. This is no expenditure
without return. It is an investment
and it is an investment that no one
will say is insecure. 1t will not only
bring in a return in interest and
return of the principal when due but
it has brought to us q regard and
friendship with those nations the
value of which in dollars cannot be es-
timated.
The war is going to be expensive;
it is going to call for sacrifices on the
part of the nation and on the part of
the individuals composing the nation.
Much wealth is going to be shot out of
the mouths of guns and cannons and
much is going to be sunk at sea, but all
of the money used for war purposes is
not going to be a financial loss to the
nation. America will emerge from the
war not only with her honor and
greatness and power increased, but
she will emerge better fitted for the
struggles of commerce when peace
comes and much of the money spent
for war purposes will be equally val
liable if not more valuable in time Of
Deace

Wall Street-Rails, shippings, equip

tionally lower at the opening of to-
days trading. Pressure against
metls was more pronounced, Anacon-
da copper falling a point.
SteelS, motors and utilities also
yielded slightly but soon rallied irreg-
ularly. Dealings were on a very light
scale, with the usual short covering
of those stocks in which support was
shown.
U. S. Steel's gradual advance of
point with gains of l to 2 points in
other industrials, shippings and oils
checked the early decline, but the LIST

Studebaker reacted IA points to
the low price Of As "a and General
Motors lost 2 points. Bethlehem Steel
hardened on announcement Of the
new financing. Trading divided stead
lily in the course Of the foreoon.
Active selling set in after midday,
the movement being mainly directed
against industrals, coppers and spec

early losses.

Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo
has issued a public statement warning
the public against recurring unreliable
reports regarding the next Liberty
Loan purpOrtlng to give information
as to the date, amount, and other de-
tails relative to the ISSUE He states
these reports are merely speculative
and the public should not be misled
by them; that these matters have not
been determined upon. and as soon
as they are settled official announce
ment will be made; in the meantime
unofficial reports should be regarded
as unfounded.
There Is only one thing certain about
the financial and commercial condi-
tons that peace is going to bring and
that is their uncertainty. 1t may be
that an era of great prosperity may be
upon us; it may be an era Of stagna-
ton; 1t may be an era of the severest
competition we hive ever experienced.
1t involves a paradox, but in this
present time of comparative CONNER
cial peace. for the great war has large
ly stopped for a time the struggle
among nations for foreign commerce,
1T is wise thing to prepare for the
economic war that will succeed the
present world wide war.
1t Is we'll for every American citizen
to lay aside in some absolutely safe
security something for that day that
is coming. If it be great prosperity
one will be able to take advantage of
it. If 1T be stagnaton one will be
better able to withstand it.

Liberty Loan Bonds. They are abso-

lance taxes the income from them

as competent financial authorities as

they will be readily convertible into

WHAT CALDER OF GUN MEANS
Term as Applied to Artillery 10 Cause
Of Confusion in the Popu.
lar Mind.

Confusion as to the meaning Of the
term calibcr arises chiefly from Its
use as an adjective to indicate length
as when we say "a 5O.caliber six-inch
gum The word callber, as applied te
artillery, signifies the diameter Of the
bore of gun measured diametricallJ
from face to face Of the bore, Of course
somewhat larger.
A gun, then, Of six-inch caliber is
gun whose bore is just six inches. Fol-
convenience and because the power OF
q gun when once its bore has been de-
cided upon depends so greatly upon its
length artillerists are in the habit OF
defining the length of the gun in terms
Of the caliber.
Thus the Pinch United States na'
val gun, which is 40 feet in length, Is
spoken of as 4O-caliber l2-inch, the
length being just 40 times the bore
The 6-inch rapid-ire gun is a tribe un'
der 25 feet in length and is therefore
known as Il 5O-caliber gun.
In the case of small arms the cali
Der is expressed in hundredths OF al
inch, as when.we say Il 22-caliber re-
y0lver we mean one with a bore that
has q diameter Of % of an inch.
