1ilct, the police got the upper
hand, the rioters were carried
away to JalIs and hospitals, and
the crowds were dispersed. The
Munich riot, however, served an
earnest notice upon the authori-
ties of that which may well hap
pen if the war should drag on
and a popular leader should APP

again experience the horrors of a
peasants and mechanics war,
reminiscent of those days when
the too sOrely opprest poor took

INVENTOR s MODEL, OF AN
UNSUITABLE WARSHIP.

n young inventor of Lancaster
Ia, has constructed a model of
what he believes to be an unsink-
able Warship, able to defy subma-
rlnes and turn torpedOes from
the strict path Of duty. His work
ing model. a picture Of which ap-
pears IN the June Popular Me
chautcs Magazine, shows a sort of
semlsubmerged fort, the great
bulk of the ships hull being I'M
der water at all times. The de
sign Of the hull shows extraord-
mary depth, and the inventor
theory is that this construction.
with numerous air chambers,
would keep the ship afoat even if
struck by one or more torpedoes
at Or near the water line. A belt
of air chambers, resembling a
huge fange, surrounds the hull
near the normal water line, and
is designed to assist in maintain
ing buoyancy after the lower hull
has been pierced and partly
water-filled by torpedo attack or
shell fire.

No business man would be con-

business. 1t is not enough to

for future use. The time will
come when these foods will be
needed or, what is the same, the

the same foods will be needed. .
