THIS IS GOOD NEWS
IF REPORT BE TRUE.
Special to Commercial-Appeal.

NEW ALBANY, Miss, Aug. 49,
Maurice Reed contractor and electrician
and one of the brightest young men in
Union County, is about to perfect
with the aid of United States govern
ment, a destructive electrical machine
to be operated by flying squadron
which, if perfected, will unquestionably
make this young scientist reputation
equal to the great Edison. Mr.. Reed
has made a miniature machine which
he has been operating at his home, sett-
ing fire to combustibles at distance
by electrical devices, and now has the
matter up with the bureau of standards
of the government at Washington and
also with General Electric Company OF
Pittsdeld, Mass, and the Westinghouse
Electric &: Manufacturing Company OF
East Pittsburg, Pa, which last CON-
pany will likely take this destructive
war machine apparatus to their research
laboratory, where an immense outlay OF
money will be spent to see if Reed &C.
tually has death dealing machine tha,
will, as he claimsi destroy from the all
every. living being and all explosives,
such as gasoline, powder, etc., within a
range of any distances up to four miles
of the discharging machine.
Reed has built the machine so that
it is impossible for the electrical current
discharged, which is to kill the enemy,
to have any effect N. the party OF
squadron discharging the current. This
current acts directly like lightning, but
instead of simply killing the enemy in
one spot like lightning, it will kill in g
two-mile radius. Reed says the highes,
aircraft gun shoots only from $4,000
to $4,000 feet. 1t the Krupp big gun
was shot at this machine it would have
to be shot when the machine was al
about 10 miles from the gun, and if this
was not done everything in range of the
big gun would have already been
destroyed by the current from the Ill
gun. If the trenches were 600 miles in
length, this machine will kill every man
in the 600 miles in 10 hours, as the
squadron would cover the distance in
that time.
Reed is not asking or seeking pub.
licity, but happened to be in the office
The Commercial-Appeal correspondent
here today in connection with the govern
ment correspondence, and was asked t,
give the public, who as yet has moi
dreamed OF the great task this young
man is undertaking, an idea of what he
is trying in his honest way to do for his
country. He is poor boy, but be
confidently expects the government te
have his invention free of charge as q
means of quickly ending the war. He
has already given the government his
ideas and he has no other expectation
than that the government will take il
over or that some financial patrio
willcom to his rescue.
Reed got the idea when Gov. Theo
Bilbo returned from Washington and
he heard that the governor had seen an
apparatus of Thomas Edison which
would destroy submarines at distance,
and then Reed went t. work on the all
machine to destroy from the air.

Faded Spots in Woodwork.

Faded spots in hardwood, from
heat, light or the touch of too strong
alkalies, can be brought back to their
original color by repeated gentle rub
bings with boiled linseed oil mixed
with one-eighth of alcohol. Rub two
or three times each day, using clean
silk or linen swab each time Make
swabs by rolling fine cotton batting
into tight small balls and tying ball
in square of cloth. The loose cloth
ends form handle. Throw away
swabs as soon as they get hard or
dirty.
