Editor Keowee Courier, Walhalla, S.
c.: One Of Walhalla's young men,

serving on a United States subma-
rine. Announcement has just been
made by the Navy Publicity Bureau,
New York, Of Mr.. Steck's promotion
to the grade Of petty officer on board

serving at New London, Conn.

Navy Department has inaugurated a

whereby the home town papers Of
these men will De furnished with in
cidents Of their naval careers worthy
of note.
For more than hundred years the
navy has made brilliant history and
given the world line of heroes from
John Paul Jones to George Dewey,
and now, with the constant pouring
in Of real young Americans to enlist,
there is little doubt of more stories,
Of the heroism, advancement and
promotions from the present-day
generation, where opportunities for
promotions and distinction are more
numerous than ever before. The
navy has always been the first line Of
defense. To-day it is in active con-
flict with the enemy, cooperating
with the ships Of our allies.
1t may be of interest to mention
the fact that the young men who reg
lister for selective draft on June 5th
do not become ineligible for enlist
ment in the navy. The pay of the
lowest rating in the navy has been
increased to $3.50 per month, and
the opportunities for promotion are
greater than ever before.

Finish Training in France.

Washington, June 3.-Contracts
have been awarded to an American
firm for the construction of a two
squadron aviation field in France,
where American army niers will re-
ceive final preparation before taking
their place at the front. The aircraft
production board announced to-day
that the site had been selected. Con-
struction material would be shipped
from this country to make the field
an exact duplicate Of similar fields
now being equipped here.
Final training will be in French
battle plants and under French in
structors. AS yet the United States
has produced no airplanes Of suffi-
cient power and speed for use at the
front, and until American machines
have been developed to that point,
foreign-built craft will be used by
American fliers for battle purposes.
The announcement was made in
statement issued by the committee on
public information. Three training
fields will be so near completed by
July 20 that 500 student aviators,.
graduates Of the preliminary theoret-
ical courses given at six colleges, can
begin their training in actual flight.

AUTCAfAT. FIRE ALARM SYSTEM.
II. II. and w. G. Hughs' Patent Rec,
ognized by u. $. Government,

A patent has Just been allowed to
Harry r. and Wade G. lIughs, OF
Walhalla, on an automatic fire
alarm system designed to give the
alarm OF fire in any part Of the dwell
ings and outbuildings on the prem
ises where installed, before tho fire
has gained but little headway. The
system Is unique in its simplicity and
the accuracy with which 1t operates.
1t consists Of central Indicating
board with gong. drop, electric
bulb, and the name Of each part of
the dwelling and the names of the
outbuildings; automatic circuit clos
ers are placed in all the different
parts of the buildings, and when the
circuit Is closed by the opera ton OF
heat, the alarm Is given by the ring
Ing of the gong, the proper drop
falls, and the electric light bulb is
illuminated, all indicating he%oca-
| ton Of the fire.
Here Is how it would work: Fire
breaks out In the roof about the
kitchen stove fue; the heat causes
the circuit to close; the gong on tho
| indicating board rings; the drop
| falls, and the light Is turned on, all
pointing toward Kitchen Loft" on
the indicating board.
The system Is operated by dry
cells OF the ordinary type, which
makes 1t particularly applica BILE to
the farm and small town.
The circuit closers are made to re-
spond to different temperatures. to
suit different locations in the build
ing. Under a tin roof in the loft the
normal temperature is higher than
In cool room of the house. but
wherever located, when the temper
ature rises to certain number Of
degrees above normal, the alarm Is
given. Through experiments in de-
veloping this invention it has been
found that the alarm will be given
before the fire has gotten anything
like good start.
The inventors have a firm in At
anita building working model,
which will be finished in a few days,
and any one desiring to see it may
do so.
The patent also covers q city sys-
TEN, which can be connected with
each house. When the drop falls in
the indicating board Of the house,
4 the alarm Isl automatically given at
Il the fcity FIRE Sstation, Indicating the
street and number where the fire is
Located.
The Messrs. Hughs are young at
torneys OF the Walhalla bar, both
having Il marked degree Of nee echani-
cal ingenuity coupled with turn"
for the practical application of cleo
tricity. Their invention, we believe,
is destined to prove of great practi-
cal benefit, especially in rural dis
tricts and towns Of small size. Their
enlargement Of original design, how
ever, by which their system may be
made auxiliary to an established city
fire department, gives the invention
possibilities Of much wider scope
