MAY BE MAN
TO DOOM SUBMARINES

Baltimore, Md, May 14.-Is Emil
Gathmann, Baltimore engineer
with a German name. the man who
is to get the chief credit for wiping
out the submarine menace and ma
teriaily shortening the war?
Mr.. Gathmann, who is an active
member of the American Association
of Mining Engineers, refuses to ad-
NIT that he is the inventor of the
device that Chairman Saunders off
the naval consulting board declares
will destroy the U-boats. But seen
at his home here he was unusually
happy, and with a very broad smile
and an air OF absolute confidence he
authorized this statement.
Il can only say this: Within three
or four months there will be no sub
marine menace. The plan that Will
mean the eradication Of the German
U-boat as real menace will take
about that time to be worked out.
When it has been worked out and is
in actual operation, then a statement
of some kind may be made"
An invention, it is said by a good
authority. was completed by Mr..
Gathmann at the plant of the Gath
mann Engineering company at Texas.
Baltimore county, about the middle
of last month.
At that time Mr.. Gathmann went
to Washington for a Sunday night
conference with naval official and
as result naval engineers came to
Baltimore the following day. 1t is
understood that they spent the next
three days at the plant of Mr.. Gath
mann, testing the invention which he
had perfected and working out in
theory the plan which he had sug-
gested for the use Of his invention.
The invention. 1t is understood.
was approved and then the naval au-
thorities got in touch with other en-
gineers who had submitted other
plans and these other engineers were
told of the Gathmann invention. AS
a result. about twenty separate in
ventions were submitted by as many
different engineers. all of them based
on the Gathmann invention. The en-
tire plan was then taken under con-
sideratio by Mr.. Saunders, who sub
the whole plan on the Atlantic coast
then followed and, according to the
statement made by Mr.. Saunders and
the hints since made by Mr.. Gath
mann, they proved the invention a
! success.

enormous amount of farm products ii we can only sell
them at decent prices
Furthermore farm help in this country has constantly
been growing This year had there been no effort
to mobilize boys and other helpers the farmers would
have been left almost single handed. The emergency
labor supply being gathered will hardly do more
than supply the gap created by the labor shortage OF the
past few years. At the best high school and college boys
can't do the work of farm hands that have dug in the
soil all their lives Boys or less irresponsible

seen to burst into flames.
Two members of the aircraft's
crew jumped into the sea, the Star
says, and the others disappeared with

The destruction of the La marks
the fourth attempt at Zeppelin raids
within the last year which has ended
in disaster. Two of the mammoth
airships were shot down during
raid on London September 80, 1916,
and two months later two more Yep
pelins were destroyed off the English
coast. March II French artillery
men shot down Zeppelin behind the
French lines while it was endeavor-

Planning For The
Immediate Future

The following is taken from a cir
cular letter from John Scowcroft C
Sons company and should be of gem
eral interest:
An exceptional demand TO be wit
messed this season. Read following
notices and excerpts from trade
papers. We are reliably informed
that the U. S. department of agricul-
tyre is planning to put on a very
extensive campaign for the home can
ming of fruits and vegetables.
They ask that before matters are
finally shaped that they be furnished
with an estimate Of all the glass jars
of all sizes now in the hands of re-
tailers. wholesalers and manufacture
ers, and other data which will show
them what quantity of jars will be
available to take care of this sea-
sons crop.
We are also informed and quote
for your information from the Inter
national News, Chicago, April 10th,
NO more baked beans, hominy,
kraut, oils. tobacco. molasses, or lard
is to be canned in the United States
during war time. This decision was
reached today at conference of can
ners and jobbers of canned products.
The meeting was held at the request
of Mr.. Houston, secretary of agrlcul-
ture, who urged that only perish
able fruits be canned owing to the

of tin plate.

We understand that the depart
ment of agriculture intends to send
out experts, both men and women, to
demonstrate to the housewives the
bottling of vegetables of all kinds, as
well as fruits. We therefore believe
that this effort on the part of the de-
partment, together with much gener-
al publicity work on the part of other
organizations, along similar lines,
will greatly increase the sale of fruit
jars this season. The following from

Putting Up Things"
1T is suspected that If the house
wife does her preserving on an ex-
tensive scale this year she will have
to place her chief reliance upon the
Mason or some other jar. If she
prefers the tin can she will find It
exceedingly scarce and commanding
materially higher price than she
has been accustomed to pay for it,
She will probably decide that glass
ware is preferable to tinware, but
when she inquiries about the latter
she viii be panied to discover that
jars, too. have risen and moreover,
aren't particularly plentiful at any
price. She will, in fact, find both
Jars and cans present in such re-
stricted numbers that she almost GER
tainly will be reminded of what she
