Wireless telephone.

The war has been the means of in
Producing many scientific ventures. On
April IL, 1916, Secretary of the Navy
Daniels wrote President Theodore n.
Vail of the American Telephone COM
pany with reference TO testing the pos
sibility Of the use of the wireless tele-
phone at sea. The resulting tests COW
cred a period of 40 hours, beginning at
4 D. m. on May 6 and ending at 8 a. m.
on May 8, 1916. During this period
all communications of the navy de-
partment were on n war basis. The
results are said to have been very
encouraging. John J.. Carly, who has
been actively concerned in wireless
telephony, said: There is no navy
in the world which has the power Of
the United States navy to mobilize In
stantly its through such a
system Of communications" Some
ships of the navy already have In
stalled the wireless apparatus.

WastefuI Menus.

If Americans generally do not over
feed they do to a large extent indulge
in diverse dishes and fancy foods,
which run up bills. The 40 Boston
hotel and restaurant proprietors who
have combined to cut the frills out Of
their menus have begun a movement
that should enlist not only public cater
ers, but housekeepers all the coun-
try. If we do not cut down the volume
Of our food consumption but merely
dispense with so much variety a vast
amount of waste in both labor and
foodstuffs will be avoided.-Provi-
dence Journal.
The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-07-31

The growing scarcity of sponges has
warned those familiar with harvesting
them that unless means are provided
to augment the natural supply the
sponge industry will be seriously Grip
pied in a few years more. Government
experts have been experimenting on
the growing of sponges and have ascer-
tanned practically the only feasible
ways by which they can be cultivated
at all successfully. Awaiting himself
of the knowledge gained from these
experiments, G. d. Chase, an English
man, living in Florida, some time ago
selected a site off the Florida coast
where he started a sponge farm. At
present he has about 100000 spOnges
growing there which are capable by
subdivision of increasing about tenfold
every three years. A company has
been formed to promote the enterprise,
which plans to keep the number al
ready started multiplying at least
three years before putting any of them
on the market. At the end Of that
time an annual yield of about 2,000,-
900 sponges can be had, they say.

Britain pevelons sneed.

The erection of a British machine
gun factory in three months has at
tracted a great deal of attention
among the nations building fraternity.
Two months after the building was
up a steady supply of guns vas being
turned out. The steel work, 1920
tons, for the main building was deliv-
cred and erected in just over 40 days.
There are $500 window panes. The
floor space is 2h acres, accommodate
ing more than 1000 machines, cleo
trically driven and worked by women.

MUNITION PLANT DESTROYED

One hundred and twelve persons,
mostly women and girls, are known
to have lost their lives and 121 were
injured by a series of explosions in
the shrapnel building of the Eddy
stone Ammunition Corporation at
Eddystone, near Chester, Pa. Many
of the injured will die and it is
feared the final death list will reach
$50. Fire added to the horror and
many bodies were charred beyond
recognition. Some of the bodies
were fished out of marsh 200 feet
away. Reports that the explosion
was the result of plot were scout
ed by detectives who made an
investigation.

BE LOYAL AMERICANS

Now that we have taken the
plunge, there is but one thing for a
loyal citizen Of this country TO do
stand firmly by his country, whe-
Their il be native or adopted. The
man who does otherwise is not true
to himself or to the land that shell
tiers, feeds and clothes him.
There were many who honestly
thought we should not go to war
with Germany. But the great ma
jority Of American people thought
otherwise. SO did the president,
and the congress.
Each was clearly entitled to his
individual opinion until such time
as the matter was definitely settled
one way or the other.
But with war actually in exist
ence, with our armies hurrying in
TO the field, with our navy making
preparations to sweep the seas,
with our young men rushing to the
colors, there can be but one path
for us to tread-absolute loyalty
to our country.
Whatever our beliefs may have
been in the past, our country now
is at war, and we must support it
with our every drop of blood and
our every dollar of wealth.
Those who think that it will be
simply bluff at war-merely the
assembling of an army that will
drill for a few months and then go
home-will be woefully mistaken.
The United States has been both
loath and slow to draw the sword,
but one drawn it will never be
sheathed until victory is complete
and our enemy is no longer able to
do us harm.

OUR FARMERS MAY
SAVE THE COUNTRY

Government officials have voiced
a strong plea to the farmers of
the country to cultivate to the limit,
to the end that we may not be ham,
pered by a shortage in food sup
plies. The manufacturing interests
of the country will supply the vast
quantities of arms, ammunition and
equipment needed. These are all in
the making even now. But food
does not grow where no seed has
been planted, and without food no
army can fight and no people can
exist.
Therefore we ask the people of
OUR OWN COMMUNITY to arise
to the occasion and produce every
ounce. of foodstuffs that is within
our power.
We may not all serve in the
ranks, but we can demonstrate
cur loyalty and our devotion to our
country by needing the plea of the
president in an increased produc-
ton of food supplies.
Let us not have an acre that is
not under cultivation or in pasture
age. Let us not have even a back
yard or vacant lot that is not prof.
ducing something. Patriotism lies
here just as strongly as it does on
the battle line.
