Looking Through a Steel Axle with
n Periscope,

The periscope, so efficient In trench
and submarine warfare. now has a
pacific application, according to the
Popular Science Monthly for Janu-
ary. It promises to avert many ac-
cidents resulting from defective loco
motive axles.
The axle is bored longitudinally. the
size Of the bore being ample to per-
init insertion of the periscope, which
is about forty inches long and one
and one-half inches in diameter. At
one end is a magnifying mirror upon
which light Is thrown from the han
die. Looking through the periscope,
inspectors obtain a clear view of ey-
cry part Of the axle and are enabled
to detect the flaws In the steel.

Bonds May Be Assigned
Before Bank Officials

In response to a widespread de-
mand. Secretary McAdoo yesterday
authorized the assignment of reg
istered bonds before officers of in
cOrpOrated State banks and trust
companies. Heretofore. these as
"signments could be made only be-
fore certain treasury officials and
the officers OF certain courts and
Federal reserve and national banks.
AS a result of the condition, which
was remedied by the order yester-
day, many holders of registered
bonds in small towns and cities
without national banks found diff
Guilty in assigning their bonds.
1t is unusual for a fee to be
charged for the assignment of
bonds. and it is presumed that the
newly designated agencies will per-
form the service gratis.

New War Pen Signs Five
Names at the Same Time

E. A. Van Wynen, chief clerk Of
the Southern Pacific's pay check bu-
reau, has designed a war pen" de-
signed to facilitae his work.
Van Wynen has the unique task
of signing approximately 100000
pay checks per month. The rush
of war work has caused time to be
the most precious commodity dealt
in by the Southern Pacific. Also
every department has been COM
PEELED to devise means Of offsetting
the shortage of help.
So Van Wynen harnessed five
fountains together in such a way
that he could sign five separate
checks at he same time. He pur-
poses to add a pen for every clerk
who leaves him to go to war. He
is now signing 1000 checks an hour
and not worrying.
