Many Work on U-BOat Problem
Seventy Applications For Patents Filed EacE
Week Since War Became
Imminent.

A great number Of devices, for the
manufacture of which inventors are
seeking protection from an infringing
public, are being offered Tor the in
spection OF examiners of the United
States Patent onice. where applica-
ton for anti-submarine patents have
been pouring in at a tremendous rate
si= war was declared against Ger
many.
American inventors have sent on an
average of seventy applications to the
munitions and ordnance division of
the Patent Office every week since
trouble with Germany seemed immi
nent, for patents on devices calculated
to take the sting out OF the Huns
most effective weapon, the undersea
terror.
J. II. Colwell, chief examiner of the
ordnance division, said today that IL
the American inventive mind does not
devise successful weapons to combat
the U-boat, II will at least set a rec
ord for the number OF machines in
vented to scour the seas in search OF
it. Fully 500 applications for ord
nance and aeronautic patents are ly-
ing on the desk Of the chief examiner
today awaiting attention. Dozens con-
tinue to pour in at every mail. and
officials OF the office will soon be
swamped unless there is recession of
the tide of inventions.
Many Ship Safeguards.
Most prominent among anti-sub-
marine factors in the woBld of inven-
tion are two which the public is per-
mitted to know nothing about. One
is a sub-catching device from the
brain Of Emil Gathmann, a Baltimore
inventor. Another is an invention
by Hudson Maxim. Both are pending
in the Patent Office and knowledge OF
their details is jealousy guarded until
patents are issued.
The invention of Gathmann is
known to be an explosive Maxim
has announced the discovery Of a
new style OF armor.
The majority of patents issued
within the past year to anti-sub in
ventors have been for the safe
guarding Of vessels rather than for
actual sub-catchers.
]. A. Steinmetz, of Philadelphia, has
patents on a number of U-boat trap
ping inventions. The most feasible
of these, as viewed today by military
authorities and patent experts, is
an undersea drag, suspended from an
airship.
This device is designed to snag a
submarine. 1t holds an explosive ON
the end of a metallic tip which ignites
when it is jerked against the side or
bottom Of a U-boat
Would Require Big AirshIp.
The only objection suggested by
experts that might hold back the eff
fectiveness of this weapon is that its
weight would require a large airship
to tow it. Hung by a steel chain from
height Of possibly 1000 feet, it is
comparatively easy matter to play
the drag along in the sea, much like
an angler plays with fly for fish in

shallow streams. When sub Is
sighted the actual act of snagging 1t
would require but a few minutes, pos
sibly not more than three or four, be-
fore the boat could submerge or
prepare its small guns for attack.
In favor of this invention it is
pointed out that:
A sub travels slowly. probably not
over seven miles an hour when sub
merged.
1t requires seven or eight minutes
to sink completely from sight, even
when the boat is barely awash with
the deck cleared.
After sighting the submarine the
airship towing the drag could hide
itself in a cloud OF smoke and sink
the boat before the latter could
change its position.

heads, each head charged with a pow,

submerged. Travelling ten or twenty
feet under water, the drag could work

OF the undersea craft. A patent was
granted to Mr.. Seinmetz for this in
vention on March 6.
Has BulIet-PrOOf Filler.
Francis A. Dugro, OF New York,
naval inventor, has patented a device
for throwing bombs from an airship
at slow travelling craft. The aero is
of sky color, protected from rifle fire
by a spreading net OF wire and steel.
It can discharge bombs almost as fast
as the fire OF a machine gun, experts
say. and with adequate protection from
rife fire from below. ought TO prove a
big factor in clearing the sea Of U-boats.
IL 1t is adopted by the Navy Depart
ment- This patent was granted two
years ago. 1t has been tested by naval
officials
Thus far the majority Of applications
for patents are for devices to protect
merchants ships and harbors Mine
sweepers have been invented in
great numbers and not a few have
been successfully used on merchant YES
sells. They consist OF long nets. pro-
Jecting on either side and the front OF
the ship.
strict Secrecy Kept.
Numerous applications have been re-
ceived. particularly within the last week,
at both the Navy Department and the
Patent Office for patents for contriv-
ances to destroy U-boats. They include
bomb dropping devices, airsships with
sharpened steel plummets that can be
hurled into a sub from a great distance
above, nets to set free in the ocean
below the surface to trap submarines
wholesale, and harpoons to fire into the
German craft from the submarine
"chasers" now being put into use by
the navy. Examiners who have gone
over some Of the inventions say they
have many good features. but until they
are given adequate trial by experts.
their real value cannot be determined.
The veil Of secrecy thrown around ex-
periments by the army and navy pre-
cludes even a hazard as to the types
OF sub destroyers that are being officially
tested

 COOLING ARRESTS
l. C. Burgess, One of Senator's Indicted Before Grand Jury Interesting Disclosures Con- corning Assembly Expected.

Little Rock, March 11.-Grand jur- ies being inquisitorial bodies which give out nothing, or at least supposed to be leak proof, are not very fat sources of information for the news hounds of the daily press, but even this fact does not keep rumors from travelling fast, and if they are to be credited, some rather interesting dis closures in connection with the recent General Assembly will soon be made. It is asserted by some that shortly there will be some indictments re- turned that will involve men other than those now under arrest. Who the men are is only matter of con- lecture, but it is known that Senator I. C. Burgess, one of the Senators under indictment, and later expelled by the Senate, was before the grand jury of Pulaski county recently and spent several hours. It is claimed that he gave information that was much desired by the prosecuting at torney.

BUREAU WILL SHOW
 LOWERING OF RATES
Forcing Owners of More Hazard Ous PrOpery to Take Proper Rate-Has Reduced Rate on the Small Property Owner.

Little Rock, March 1.-The Arkan- sas Actuarial Bureau, which came near being abolished in tre legislature. will before the next meeting of the Assembly, issue to the people state ments showing how the rates in diff ferent communities are lowered. The Bureau has beenc looked upon as a sort of trust, but it was shown in the legislative session that it was any thing but an organization to main tain rates. It was there demonstrat- ed that the Bureau is acting in insur- ance, about the same as the Inter- state Commerce Commission is on freight matters. The Bureau is fore ing the owners of the property with the greatest hazard, to take the pro- per rate, and this has reduced the rate on the small property owner, or the cottage. The Bureau has thus become the friend of the masses in- stead of the classes, which is just the opposite of what those who have op- posed it have painted, and from what the majority of them believed it to be
 Senator Caldwell showed that in Pine Bluff the rates raised were on cotton congresses, oil mills, and big concerns which had been in former years getting the reduced rates, be- cause of the volume of business writ ten for them.

ENGINEER REGIMENT
ENCAMPS AT BELVOR
Quits Washington Barracks to
Undergo Practical Training.

War time activities were observed
at the Washington Barracks today
when the regiment OF engineers sta
toned there pulled up stakes and left
for Belvoir, Va, just south OF Mt.
Vernon.
A few hours after leaving the bar
racks, to which they will not return
until. after the war, the engineers
were ensconced in their tents and
cantonments at the training camp.
Upon their arrival at Belvoir they
found an army OF carpenters putting
the finishing touches on numerous
wooden structures ordered erected
there by the War Department.
While at Belvoir the engineers will
devote their time to making war
maps, sketching the contour Of the
contiguous fields. bridging ravines,
constructing pontoons and stretching
them across the Potomac. building
barbed wire entanglements and, cut
ting them, fashioning swinging
bridges OF rope and wire, and i'm
promising roads through marshes,
woods and land Of every description.
Students of the Officers Reserve
Corps training camp at Fort Myer
who elect to join the engineer forces
will be sent TO the Belvoir camp for
instruction. Students from several
other training camps also will be sent
there for observation and schooling.

the ordinary cold creams. Care should
be taken to strain the lemon juice
through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets In, then this lotion will keep
fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice Is used to
bleach and remove such blemfshes as
freckles. sallowness, and tan. and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener,
and beAutifler.
Just try this lotion, Make up a

While the Administration is urging
employers. as a patriotic duty. to hold

out such a policy.

OF the Panama Canal health department
that when they Join the army they need
not expect to md their Jobs open for

to return from the front at the end Of

that he had been accepted for a COM

and denied the request that his position
be held open for him.
Here is the answer received from the
official In charge:
If you are ordered into active serv-
Ice as an officer OF the Reserve Corps, U.
s. A, your place cannot remain untitled.
and II a suitable man can be found he
will be retained In service as long as
