CHAS. RICHEY'S
INVENTION APPROVED

New York, Sept. 21.-Chas.
V. .Richey's inventor of the slot
piano player (electric) which
caused so much concern through
out the country and which is be-
ing used by some of the biggest
piano manufactures in the states,
has perfected another invention,
which is for an automobile and
which has been approved by the
Motor Age, Popular Mechanics
magazine and several of the large
automobile manufacturing con-
Germs. This invention is SIM
pie and practical construction
whereby it is unnecessary for the
chauffeurs or other persons oper-
ating cars to change speeds by
shifting the gear, thereby elimi-
mating the wear and tear on the
mechanism. Also the commonly
used clutch in Mr.. Richey's de-
vice is used only for reversing or
first speed forward, and becomes
unnecessary to be used in chang
ing to other speeds. By using
this invention the consumer
saves at least 25 pei cent not on
ly on the wear and tear on the
machinery but on tires, oils and
fuels as well.
Mr.. Richey has invented
means which will effectively pre-
vent the destruction of ships at
tackled by submarines or other
vessels, and he is now preparing
to turn the same over to the Uni
ted States government, namely,
the navy department, which will
be done this week. He has had
several interviews with the navy
consulting board (of which Thos.
A. Edison is president) in regard
to this new device.
A corporation is being organ
lied to exploit the manufacture
and sale of autombile equipment
with gear shiftless automobile
transmission. Also the applica-
ton for patent has been long and
securely filed and now awaits is

army and navy and in every field in
which any other race is engaged, each
individual to be given such opportuni-

BY LINCOLN R. SCOTT.

There is emblem of great beauty
That Americans love the best,
It's the symbol of country
A country it has sgnally blest
1t was Betsy Ross of Philadelphia,
Back in Independence time
Who arranged those three bright xcoiors -''
In a unique and beautiful design.
And Congress inspired with its beauty,
As it waved in the air of heaven,
Gave us this emblem by official birth
On June 14th, Seventeen seventy-seven.
At first it had but thirteen stars
Arranged in field of blue,
And it has continued thirteen stripes,
Which made of the red and white, too.
Every star and every stripe
In those piping days of yore,
Stood for liberty, freedom and right
Our Union-all along Atlantics shore.
Now its blue field is jeweled
In stars that number forty-eight,
And it is witnessed by the millions
Our countrymen-to Pacific's Golden Gate.
1t was with Washington at Valley Forge,
And at Yorktown with that band
Who planted our eastern shore,
Liberty and Freedom for our land
1t went with Lincoln to Antetam,
Ever was with boys in blue
Sheridan in the valley of the Shenandoah,
And with all the brave and true.
1t was with Sherman his march
OF ruin and destruction to the sea,
And it with Grant at Appomattox
Beneath that old historic appe-tree.
1t with Dewey at Manila
And with Schley in his command,
That gave Cubans and Filipinos
happy and free land
The English cheer it at Westminster,
The French as it waves from Eiffel Tower,
And twill mellow the hearts of those at Berlin.
On it's mission of peace in this holy hour.
Unfurl its bright folds! This beacon of right!
Our heroes defend it with signal delight
Its is "Od Glory" wherever it waves,
A symbol of peace in the hands of the brave.
Then rally round these colors, boys
Hoist high this fag-the best,
Until peace and human liberty
Shall bless Germany and the rest
And when task is done, boys,
Though some are lost-yet Liberty won
All nations will sing praises, boys,
That peace for the world has come.

Washington, Sept. I4.-In-
diana Negroes of the draft army
probably will be trained at Louis
vile for the fighting line IN
France. The Colored men will
not be called out, however with
the first contingent, but will go
in a body on later call.
= Secretary of War Baker has
with his own hand written the
order which disposes of the con-
troverted question as to how
these Negro soldiers shall be
trained. This question has been
discussed up one side and down
the other at the war department
for months. Some officials have
taken the position that the Color
ed soldiers should be received
entirely for non-combatant work;
that is they should do jobs around
camp, dig the sewers and trench
es and perform all the menlal
labor, but should be kept away
z from the firing line. Some also
have taken the position that they
should be sent to training camp
by themselves and should not be
allowed to go to the camps with
the white conscripted soldiers.
BAKERS PLAN.
Secretary Bakers solution of
the problem, written and promul-
gated by himself undoubtedly
over the opposition of many Off
GERS in the war establishment and
other advisers, is as follows:
THE rule of the regular army
in the matter of the training of
Colored troops, which is that
they are trained in seperate or
ganizations, will be adhered to.
The call for Colored men will be
postponed until one of the later
calls, so that they will be called
at a separate time, giving an op-
portunity to the officers at the
camps to assemble the organiza-
tions, of which they are a part,
substantially all at one time.
They will not be the asst called,
but they will be called separately.
"All Colored men called in a
state which has cantonment IN
it will be organized and trained
there, provision will be made,
but it has not yet been made. for
the assembling of Colored troops
for training from those states
which have not cantonments OF
their own. An opportunity will
be given both white and Colored
men among the selected forces to
volunteer for this military but

Nashville, November 1.-(speciaI.) Resigned to the apparent inevitable de- feat at the hands of Techs golden tor nado," yet determined, if possible, to hold the score to respectable proportions. Vanderbilt began the final week or preparing for the titanic struggle behind locked gates. In no degree were the players or coaches deceived by the enor- nous score rolled up against Howard Saturday. The impression abroad in the football land that the Commodores have stout kick in the backfeld, by reason of the huge tally, is q hasty conclusion, accepted without consideration of the weakness of the Baptists.
 Admitting that in Richardson, Wander bilt has an excellent halfback. consider ing his weight, and according tribute to the improvement in the work of the for wards the crushing Of Howard can hardly be taken as an index to any new found drive, capable of coping with the Tech stone wall defense. The appearances on the field of Norman, sub back last year, has once more started in motion the shifting of the backfield which. like to the line, has been made up of differ ent GOES in every game to date.
 Captain Adams, transplanted from end to fnllback, in the Howard game, by reason Of greenness at his work, mars his play by a tendency to lose all track of openings after borrowing into the line of scrimmage. He runs with sufficient power but does not appear able to find his head after smashing through an opening.
 OPENED WIDE HOLES
 Still that fault was apparent in all the backs in the Howard game. The Vandy forwards opened gaping holes, by remark able work in the first few minutes of play, before their scare at the widely heralded strength of the Baptists wore off, but the backs failed to profit to the full extent the openings offered. Inde- cision in selection of plays is another shortcoming which must be eliminated before the Commodores can be seriously regarded,
 The makeup of the line is again mat ter of conjecture, although the shifting Of Lassiter and Hendrix to the wings in the Howard game, with Adams at full, strengthened both the attack and de- feuse Still with Lassiter on the Hanks, tho interior of the line is weakened and another change may be tried during the week, with Moss, a scrub, in that posi- tion.

CRIMSON STUDENTS INTEREST WILD IN SATURDAYS GAME
Allowed to Witness KelIy's Boys in Action - Big Brown to Play-John-
 son Still Out

Tuscaloosa, November 1.-(Special) The student body of the University of Alabama was allowed on the field this afternoon during football prac- tice to see the progress made on the squad in the last few days A good scrimmage was served the on1ookers that showed the team to be in good condition and ready for the Sewanee Tiger Saturday.
 Secret practice has been held for the last two weeks and today was the first chance the Crimson supporters have had of seeing their favorites in action for sometime.
 The weakest part of the team this year will be the line. The backfeld will be unusually strong and will blow through any line opposing, but the line today was unable to hold the plungers of the scrubs. The line will weigh about 175 and from now until the game will receive constant prac- tice in stopping plungers.
 Several of Alabama's players are suffering from various small injuries. While they will not keep the men out of the game, it will greatly impair their usefulness. Stevenson has bad ear. SpanBlef mas water on Ills knee and others have sprains, sore muscles and similar ailments.
 Sid Johnson will not get in at all and his place in the line will be great ly missed. Brown, the heaviest man on the team, has had a bad knee that kept him out of the Mississippi game but he was in uniform yesterday and will be able to play against Sewanee

Sewanee, Tenn, November L-6Special) ) It may be all right to say nix on the bear stuff before a football game, but ''bull?'
 There are large fat gobs of gloom all over Sewanee over the prospects of the outcome of Saturdays game with Ala bana. Not that the Tiger isn't going to fight. He was born fighter. and he still has claws. But facts, as the poet says, are stubborn things, and an accummula- tion of adversities is causing the Purple some sure-enough anxiety. The crowd at the game needn't worry themselves. They'll see a scrap, and peach of a one at that. The Tiger. however, is not enthusiastic over his prospects of being butchered to make an Alabama holiday.
 Tn the first place. Sewanee has lost Cooper, the best end she had. Cooper may get into the game with vandy; he won't show on the field of battle before. The pluczy end, who his, displayed more class than any other man in the Noun taineers' line, is out at the hospital with a badly injured back, the result of the game with Kentucky State in Chatta- nooga last Saturday.
