i'm announces that he has perfected
a device which will make ships i'm
mune from the dangers Of the sub

even when fired at close range, would
explode harmlessly against the hulls
of their intended victims The in
ventor asserted that the invention
soon will be demonstrated by the
government.
"This invention is practical for
every type of vessel" he said. 1T
can be applied within a few months
to- the hulls of ships already con-
structed. The only change neces-
sary will be slight enlargement in
their beams. My device is of solid
material and encircles the entire
ship from bow to stern. It in no
sense resembles a screen or net"

SMITH WANTS JUSTIcE-The


strike is won. A certain class have
won their point, but how about the
others? I am glad the strike was
halted by the present situation, for
it would have caused the poor peo-
people untold of miseries. But an
other proof is given of how those
with plenty get more and those who
are poor are apt to get less.
It shows hog succeeds hog; scab
breeds scab; dog eats dog. One
class gets ten hours pay for eight
hours work; others retain the same
pay for ten hours, with a fair chance
of having their pay reduced. Real
justice, isn't it?

of the 33d ward, has been endorsed
by the 33d Ward Woman's Indepen-
dent Political club, the organization
of women that campaigned for Aid
Robert NJ. Buck in the recent pri-

was as follows:
Mindful of it's objects, to work
for pure politics and to support those
candidates whose integrity and pub
lie records justify such support, the
33d ward WOman's Independent PO-
itical club endorses the candidacy of
D. I. Jarrett for alderman and urges
all citizens interested in the welfare
of the city to vote for him at the cleo
ton April 5.
'In doing so the club is moved by
the following considerations:
"Mr. Jarrett is honest, able and
free from entangling and discredit-
able political alliances. He is we'll
known and highly respected in this
community, where he has lived for II
years. Judged on his merits, he is
found to be possessed Of the quail
