EDISON ON U-BOAT HUNT
Ten Weeks at Sea Spent in Perfect
ing Submarine Destroyer.

Orange. n. J., Oct 25.-Thomas A.
Edison, the inventor, has spent the
last ten weeks on the high seas, striv-
ing to perfect some means of defeat
ing the submarine, his laboratories
ahnounced today. He is now back
f'somewherc in America" with the re-
suits of his studies and experiments.
First news that the electrical
wizard had carried his search to the
seas was made in a brief statement
by William Maxwell, vice-president
of Thomas A. Edison, incorporated,
and general manager of the musical
phonograph department., today. 1t
was in connection with an appeal to
the American people, written by Edi-
son himself, that they buy Liberty
bonds.
Maxwell would not further discuss
Edison's absence ION the high seas"
or whether the inventor has perfect
ed an anti-submarine device. He did
say, however, that during the ten
weeks Edison was at sea he was
never SeaSlck, although frequently his
assistants were SO overcome that
they wanted to get ashore.
1t was believed from the fact that
Edisons sea voyage was announced
as ended and from strictest reticence
at the Edison plant today as to his
whereabouts, that the inventor had
probably fonnd the anti-submarine
weapon for which he has been search
ing. 1t was understood that Edison's
experiments included duplication as
far as possible of Germany's SUBJ
marine warfare methods.
The Butler weekly times., 1917-11-01

Washington, Oct. 2s.-Thomas A.

ton for this purpose.

NO CHANGE IN
CITY TAX Rate

There will be no change in the city
tax rate next year, city officials de
clared Thursday.
The rate has been s1.10 for the last
eight year and there will be no change
next year, from present Indications
City Controller McMahan said.
The total taxable valuation of prop
critics in Richmond now amounts to
s17,6O0.oO0 and it is expected that this
will be increased by approximately
$4,000 this year, due to the fact that
new factories have located here re,
Gently. Part of this amount, however
is exempted from taxation.
Noslarge Improvements are contem.
plated for the coming year. due to the
advanced price of materials and the
fact that labor is much higher now
than it has been in many years.
Last years city budget carried ap.
preparations totalling approximately
1855, 900 including $4,000 to be paid
in August for the liquidation of bonds,
issued on the municipal light and pow
er plant.

W0MEN'S DRESS
HIT IN SERMON

Present-day fashions in Richmond
women's dress, backsliding of church
members and the habits Of young men
of Richmond were denounced by Rev.
A. F. Balsmeier, pastor of the church
OF the Nazarene. last night. He is
conducting revival meetings at the
church.
1--WE need some old.fashioned moth
ers who will keep their daughters off
the streets, and make them wear some
clothes when they do go out" said the
pastor. 'It seems that the women who
can get on the fewest clothes is the
most fashionable"
A revival in three main ways is
needed, said Rev. Mr. Balsmeier, re-
vival of church attendance, of the old
fashioned home and type of parental
government, and Of prayer and preach
ing.
I'VE have too many churchmen who
need to quit their meanness and
straighten up their crooked lives,
went on the minister. Churches pay
more attention to sociability than to
saving souls. Some churches are so
dead that 1t is not a minister they
need, it is an undertaken"
A large crowd heard the sermon.

NO DANCER OF
EPIDEMIC seen

Sporadic outbreaks of hog cholera
ere occurring in Wayne county al
ready, and there probably will be sew
eral more as soon as the chilly fall
weather sets in. says George Sperling,
Richmond veterinary.
1t had been thought that the disease
had been stamped out in the county,
but the failure of farmers to use gov.
ernment serum, and their belief that
the disease had ceased to be danger
Gus, has causd several cases this
spring and summer,
There is no epidemic of the disease,
nor is there any danger of one. But
the disease this year is unusually fat
al to the victims. This is because of
the use Of cheap serum which, when
it fails, makes the disease much more
fatal than when hogs aren't inoculated.
Districts suffering most are south
Of Richmond, says DR.. Sperling. Hot
weather is fatal to the cholera, but
the damp and cold weather Of fall is
favorable to its spread, and for that
reason there'll be more in the fall.
About three-fourths of Wayne coun-
tvs farmers vaccinate their hogs just
as regularly as they plow their corn,
however, says the doctor.

One THOUSAND
men May Be
CALLED UP to-
MAKE QUOTA.
Figures Indicate Fifty Per-
cent of Draftees Have De-
pendents-Many Will Get
Out on Physical Defects.
LISTS ARE DELAYED

One thousand men, eligible for mill
tary service, whose names were the
first drawn last Friday, may be ex-
amined before the Richmond conscrip-
ton board before this districts offic-
ial quota OF 252 for the national army
Of 100000 men is filled. That is:
II fifty percent of the men called
are exempted because Of having de-
pendants, as The Palladium figures
show;
Il fifty percent Of the remainder are
exempted because Of physical defects
or industrial importance;
II the figures of The Palladium are
correct.
May Reach 1000.
In the event the gov eminent decides
to call 1,000,0 900 men in the first ma
tional army, every one of the first 3
900 men may be required to appear
before the board, and there is posi-
hility Of men, whose number is within
1000 reading down the list, being call
ed, according to the figures
A subsequent summoning of addi-
tional men to fill out the net quota OF
accepted fighters is almost certain, il
is believed
Out of 1S4 names, selected at ram
dom from the first list of 504 register
ed men, ninety-three are married, and it
is expected they all will claim exemp-
ton. Ninety-one are single, but it is
unknown how many are physically
able to be admitted into the army.
Others Will Get Out.
It is practically certain that out Of
the number some will be exempted for
disability or because they are engaged
IL industrial pursuits, vitality neces-
sary in time of war.
While the fighting men will be OBJ
tanned easily, it is certain that It will
require a larger number of examila-
tions-probably twice as large-as is
provided in double the quota Of fight
ing men called in the first contingent
for the examination.
II the percentage OF exemptions, as
indicated, is maintained in the exani-
nation, then half of the first conting-
ent called will be exempted, leaving
only one-half, or the net quota asked,
out of which to secure 100 percent
Many to Be Rejected.
This is not possible, for out Of the
fifty percent not claiming exemption
because Of dependents, the net quota
asked, a large number will be reject
ed for physical disability and other
reasons, prescribed by the govern
ment.
A total percentage of 25.77 were ex-
empted in the Civil war draft for phys
zeal defects, and it is the belief of
Richmond officials that the exemp-
tions because Of these reasons in. the
present day draft will be larger.
Clerk Kelly of the conscription
board Thursday received official mott.
fication from Governor Goodrich that
252 men will be this districts quota
for the first national army.
Examinations will be called as soon
as the official list of numbers drawn
is received from Washington.
The lists were expected to arrive
Thursday. They are delayed.
