POultrymen to Rally
at Penbrook Tonight

Penbrook, one of the rallying spots
for poultrymen in the state, will en-
tertain tonight members of the
Pennsylvania War Poultry Commits
sion and of the Central Pennsylvania
Poultry Association, the important
chicken activities which recently
held a convention at the Capitol
To-night's session is the starter for
series which is to be steadily con-
tinued until Pennsylvania gets awake
to the necessity of. producing poultry
in vaster quantities.
Penbrook has many a chicken
farmer and is making itself famous
for the industry. This will insure
an enthusiastic meeting and besides
two of the real undisguised poultry
boosters will be present, f. w. De-
lancey, chairman of the war COM
mission, and E. B. Mitchell, COM
missioner for Dauphin county, Post
master Hoover, of Penbrook. who
has a fine flock himself, will pre-
side. g
Mr.. Mitchell was very active at
the recent state conference and he
will set forth the needs of this vital
industry. 1t appears that there are
100000 less hens in Pennsylvania
this year than last, so it is abso-
lutely essential that every one should
have a chicken munition factory in
his backyard.

starting of this complex system
there were many long delays that
would have meant real hardship to
many Harrisburg families if the Red

have been helped in this way in the

The committee has also had the
opportunity of befriending soldiers

Harrisburg without money or ac-

in the smoker, and when he awoke
near Harrisburg, it was to find that
he had been robbed of his money

BARLOW FIGHTS
TO GET HEARING
ON AIR TORPEDO
Inventor Will Make Efforts
to Win Approval of
Board

washington, March 2S.-Lester p.
Barlow, inventor of an aerial tor
pedo for which he claims a range of
500 miles. is here in Washington to
make an aggressive effort to burst
! the bonds of the red tape which he
oontendshas blocked the application
of an invention of prime Importance
in this war.
Mr. Barlow is not going into the
fight this time without backing. Men
influential in Government affairs and
leading members of Congress have
| TAXED with him, and when the sim
pllcity and power of his device have
teen explained the opinion without
dissent has been that there should
be immediate action. To the lay
MIND there appears to be no OBJ
stacle to the invention doing just
what its inventor contends for it
that 1t can explode 1900 pounds of
high explosive with reasonable ac-
curacy on target 500 miles from its
starting point. The thought is, of
course, to direct the missiles of de-
struction at large marks. such as
rlunition plants and industrial CEN
ters.
Inventor Is Modest
Mr.. Barlow does not call his idea
an invention at all. 1t is merely an
application of various mechanical
and aerial devices which are already
in commercial operation. The appli-
cation, however. is in itself a big
idea.
The power of this long-range aer-
ial torpedo as military weapon is
obvious. With a fleet of a thousand
HNinp fnrnadnaG ~
carrying 1900 pounds of T. N. T. and
landing accurately anywhere within
range of 500 miles, extraordinary
things could be done.
Mr.. Barlow is a man of long and
hard experience in the field of cleo
trcity, of mechanics, of high ex-
plosives and of aeronautics He is a
man who at any time commands a
large salary as a consulting expert
in these various fields.
His history has been the typical
story of American adventure. audac-
ity and romance. He has wandered
wireless station at Guam. our island
depe ndency in the Pacific. In his
youth he served for three years as
gunner in the American Navy. He
has been two years with Villa in
Mexico, landing in camp with ten
cents in his pocket and without a
word of Spanish on his tongue. and
emerging at the end of the two years
as major in the revolutionary
army, in entire control of Villas air
craft and explosive supply.
eBing short of materials for bomb
construction in Mexico, he used car
wheels obtained from the railroad
shops that Villa had captured. the
wheels themselves supplying the steel
I and the journal bearings the copper.
Army Uses His Bombs
Over and above all that, Barlow is
the inventor of the only two aerial
bombs which are now being produced
for the American flying forces-the
Barlow heavy drop bomb and the
Barlow contact bomb. The former of
these, the heavy-drop bomb, for use
against enemy personnel, is the only
she'll successfully devised to explode
above the surface of the earth at
predetermined height, although ev-
cry ordnance department in the
world has been trying to perfect
such a device since the beginning
of the war

II you have son or husband or

committee has come to mean to you
Red Cross at its best. 1t is, above all
others, your department-the most
direct link between you and your
boy and between you and the gov

Perhaps when John Smith goes to
camp his wife is sick and his child
is far from well. He can't keep his
mind on his work-can't tell squads
right" from squads left" becomes
low in spirits, and hence a poor SOL
dier. His captain finally discovers
that he is worried about his family
and writes to the Red Cross Chapter
to ask them to make an investiga-
ton. Miss Leib calls on tho wife
and continues to call--and the hus-
band soon has reason to feel that
his family has n real friend and
hacker in the Red Cross; and he
writes Il letter like this, received the
other day by one of the chapters:
Il wish to extend my sincere
thanks 10 YOU for going TO aid my

The question of insurance for all
of Uncle Sans new army was one
that needed to be brought to the at
tention not only of the men them
selves, but their families.
The insurance notices as publish
ed in some papers were dry and hard
TO understand, so that the families
of many soldiers welcomed the op-
portunity to have the insurance idea
explained in a clear and lucid man
ner. They showed their interest by
coming to the Red Cross rooms in
large numbers to get information. 1t
is interesting to know that more than
30 per cent. of the United States SOL
