 AMERICAN NAVY
Invention of South Ameri- can Presented to This
 Government.

New York, May 2.-The announce ment that South American has in- vented a device for destroying subma- rines which he has offered gratuitous- ly to the United States government was made yesterday by F. Alfons Pezet, formerly Minister from Peru to the United States.
 Speaking at the Biltmore Hotel at the loyalty luncheon" of the Fifth Avenue association, MT. Pezet said he was sorry that his country has not broken eff relations with Germany.
 q feel that every democracy in the world should have fallen in. line with the United States at this crisis in the worlds history" he said. He then descrbide a meeting of Latin-Ameri- cans Sunday at the Union League club, called for the purpose of showing the sympathy of South Americans with the stand taken by the United States. After announcing that he had been authorized to state that the submarine invention had been placed at the dis posa1 of our navy, the speaker added that the device had been looked into by British and United States naval boards. He said it was the desire of all Latin-Americans to show that South America, Central America and 1 North America stand as one in this crisis.

 MT. Ham said that such a plan would not tie up capital necessary for business and industrial expansion and that it would give the home-renter a chance to live in a better place-his own-at quite as economical a rate as at present, and would build up ci- ties with durable, attractive homes, raising the standard of living.
 That fashions change in houses as well as in clothes, and that such changes are very costly, was an in teresting feature brought out in MT. Hams address.
 the Mansard roof type of architecture and the Queen Ann type and pointed out that the success of a housing pro- ject depends upon the selection of a type that will be as pleasing to the eye 20 years hence as 1t is today. But one style of architecture has met this test-the American colonial. Houses built in this style 100 years ago are just as pleasing today-and more valuable-than they were 100 years ago, while houses built in the tran sient styles have great depreciated because, being out of fashion, they are now hideous to the eye.
 The Colonial type; can also be p1easingly developed either in wood or brick and being founded on stan derds of simplicity and lasting values will always be in good taste MT Ham thinks that bankers should en- courage the building of the right type of house, by raising it's loan value and reducing the loan value of the wrong type

URGES FINANCING
 OF COUPLES WHO
 PLAN, OWN HOMES
w. H. Ham Believes in Help ing Young People to Build
 Homes for Themselves.
(Spcia1 to The Farmer)

Meriden, May 1.-The labor prob lem will be solved when the manu- facturer or the state takes definite action upon financing the housing of it's families and especially the young married couple, w. H. Ham, presi- dent of the Bridgeport Housing Co.,, told the state conference of charities and correction today.
 ''The time will come when the manufacturers, business men, hank CTS and others of the large financial group will see the necessity of work ing out a plan for financing people in the building of their own homes, more especially young married cou- ples," he said in amplification of his subject.
 He advocated that such plan be detailed and believed that it would
 easily be workable without capital actively employed in commerce being tied up.
 The speaker said he considered the problem so vital to the welfare of the state that the legislature would ren-
 der a service by appointing a com
 mittee of reliable business men to in- vestigate carefully and formulate plans of definite action.
 we should have some means de- veloped whereby the young men can
 start to build as soon as he marries,'' declared the speaker, "and this can
 not be done without more liberal credit
 As a tentative plan for meeting this problem, MT. Ham outlined a plan of home-building bonds, such bonds 1 to be underwritten by the large man. ufacturing and business enterprises after careful study by the banking | institutions and to be endorsed by I them before being offered to the pub | lie. A series of notes endorsed by the | manufacturers of different cities
 could be arranged for with the local
 banks in part and through banks in l larger cities without doubt, as well.
 The bonds guaranteed by these notes
 might take the form Of serial bonds
 payable in 120 monthly instalments, 1 covering period of ten years. I 'If the proposition were carried out this basis,'' said MT Ham ''the employees of the manufacturers would have an opportunity to buy a home with very small first payment | and could carry the fixed charges l without exorbitant interest rates (which are now being asked for by in-

CROWDS GREET FRENCH SAIL 0RS
 IN NORFOLK VA.

Norfolk, Va, May 2.-"I1 fait chaud," murmured one of them. to the next in line.
 "Fermez la porte,'' said young Southern boy from the crowd. It was all that he had learned of the 1an- guage, and he gave it with the self assurance of young America and the desire to do his bit in entertaining the distinguished visitors.
 It was in Lafayette Park, the beau tifu1 city reservation on the outskirts of Norfolk. Some 200 sailors from a .-ench warship which had escorted Marshal Joffre to an American port had ,paraded through flag-bedecked streets and cheering crowd to the park whose name recalls the fact that not since the days ol Marquis Lafay- cite had French fighters marched on American soil.
 Off on a platform Capt De vais- seur Petit, their commanders; two lieutenant-c of the U. S. navy, and local orators were regis tering" the sentiment of mutual

goodwill before a battery of moving picture cameras. To the right a ball of smoke hung over the tender green of spring foliage where a field gun of a.Virginia artillery unit had fired the official salute. But the real eXpres- sfons of good will were being ex- changed between the double ranks of sailors and the good people of Nor folk who had come to welcome their allies.
 Save for the one phrase, ''fermez la porte,' offered for what it was worth, and the discouraged No savvy'' of an America sailor whose question had been answered by a shrug, the inter change of friendliness took other forms than talk. The Frenchmen seemed tired and worn by the strain of three longs years of war, but from their eyes shone a determined, seri- ous light, frightened at times by flashes of gratitude as they remem- bered that the people about them were part of great nation which had come to put their shoulders un der the load of the great war.
 And mixed with the frank curios- ity of the Southern crowd was ad- miration for these veterans, and grat- itude, too, to the Frenchmen who had upheld so long the democracy fol which they, as Americans, had at last resolved to fight. There were shy offers of cigarettes and of bright flowers, offers as shyly received. The self-conscious American givers, irri1 tated by the handicap of language, said almost brusqely, Here, take cigarette "Merci, m'sieur," in gentle tones, was invariably the response and the cigarette was deftly stuck inside the cap, for enjoyment when the ex- ercises were over. f Then an American was seen talk ing French to one of the sailors. Im- mediately the two became the center of a crowd. An American man-o'- warsman wanted to know what the metal tag was on the French sailors wrist. The interpreter found out that it was the mans identification mark.
 What do you think of our enter ing the war;"
 "Oh, m'sieur, it is so wonderful and the sailors next in line nodded assent.

Dorothy Duffie To
 Become Deaconess

Litchfie1d, May. 2. = St. PauPs Church, Bantam, will be the scene of an impressive service on Saturday. when Miss Dorothy Duf1e, daughter of former Representative Cornelius R. Duffie will be set apart as a deacon ess of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The service will be conduct ed by Rt. Rev. Chauncey B. Brews- ter, bishop of Connecticut.
 Miss Duffie will have the distinction of being one of the youngest deacon esses ever set apart in the diocese of Connecticut. She is only 27 years old. The rules of the church specify that no candidates under 30 shall be set apart except by special permission from the bishop. but in view of Miss Duff1e's great devotion to all phases of church work and her thorough training at St. Faiths House, the re- quired permission was given by Bish- op Brewster.

MINIMUM. WAGE. :. GETS BOOST IN :. HIGHEST COURT
(News from Suffrage Headquarters
 a NH Hartford)

fNews from Suffrage Headquarters A N4' Hartford) t. v The decision of the supreme court, Handed down a short time ago. up holding the constitutionality of the minimum wage law of Oregon, lends special interest to any available in. formation on the working of m1n1- mum wage law. These laws have Keen passed in eleven. states. but 1t IS 6hiefly in51the eaualzt suffrage states that they have been energetically en- forced. Washington which has such a law; has just issued it's second bi- ennial report of the work of the in- dustrial commission which admins ters the law. The law now applies to women and children in six leading in d1stries including seventy-fve per cent. of the women and children working in the state. The industries are stores factories, laiindries, tele- phone and telegraph, hotels and res taurants and offices,
 The general summary of the report states that there is abundant evidence both from employers and employed that the law has worked to increase the level of wages. It has not led to any general or widespread discharge of women workers or to the substitu- ton of apprentices and minors for adult women. It has not led to the making of the minimum wage the . standard wage of thesindustry.
 The Industrial Commission of Washington is now making an inves- tfgation into the canning industry, preparatory to making rulings for the women and children employed in it. The Commission has power to regu- late wages and conditions of labor as well as wages. It is one of the most striking effects of woman suffrage that the women voters are determined to bafish the evils so long connected with the canning industries, and that they are now able to do so through the agency of the Industrial Comnis- sions. California, Colorado and Kan sas have Industrial Commissions with power to regulate wages, hours of la -bor and labor conditions as we'll as Washington and Oregon and Utah has a minimum wage law. Thus six oi the eleven states which are making this provision forzworking women are states where women vote. Of the five states having these laws which are not equal suffrage states, two-Mas- sachusetts and Nebraska-make the law. only permissive and cannot en- force the decisions of the Industrial Commissions except indirectly by the

 A recent issue of the British Med-s ical Journal explains a remarkable discovery of pr. James Scherer, and describes a new process of photogra- phy by which an abscess of the liver or the kidneys can be photograph phed from living patients. This will be in valuable because so many people suf- fer from kidney disease, and if it can be recognized in time they, no doubts can be saved and life prolonged. Such photographs as can be obtained by. this new process will show whether there is blockade in the intestines or not, whether the kidneys are normal and able to do the great burden put upon them. < Unfortunately, what the liver can't take care of passes on to the kidneys, and the intimate relation between the two often causes a disease of the kids. neys. One of the poisons retained within the system is uric acid in ex- cess. Death would occur if, the kidneys did not work day and night in sep arating poisons and uric acid from the blood.
 The danger signals are backache, depresstons, aches and pains, heavi-
  aches, chilliness. rheumatic twinges. swollen joints or gout
 This can be avoided by stimulating the kidneys to increased action, and because of it's tonic effect on this organ I would advise any one to pur- chase Anuric, (which is to be had nowadays at almost any drug storey. and take it three times day, to- geeher with a pint of hot water, an hour before meals. By getting rid of the uric acid you can prevent and cure rheumatism, gout, and the pains and aches due to this uric acid stored within the system
 I have found in practice that An uric (double strength) is more potent than lithia and in most cases it will dissolve the uric acid as hot water does sugar.
