He said he had sought in vain

he came to the committee in the
hope that the government would

His plan, the inventor said, was

Mr.. Maxim declared that the ship
protection executive committee had
made an "irrevelant and untrue"
report on his plan. asserting that
it would be expensive and ineffec-
tive on ships of less than 10000
tons. He denied that the plan would
be costly and said it would operate
on ships of 5000 or 5000 tons prac-
tically as well as on larger vessels.
Concrete ships. the inventor said.
offer a greater advantage i'm COM
batting the submarine menace than
steel or wooden ships, as they give
greater resistance and absorb heat
better. A concrete hull, he said
would localize an explosion, and he
strongly urged construction Of con-
crete skins for steel vessels.
Loss is $4,000 a Minute.
Loss in shipping due 70 subma-
rines was estimated by the inven-
tor at $4,000 a minute, and he said
this country could afford TO eXpend
a little extra money in order to
make its ships torpedo proof" He
said the nations fighting Germany
either must stop the submarines
from leaving their bases or build
torpedo proof ships as he do not
think they would attempt to offset
the submarine campaign by build
ing new vessels.
Maine ship builders who also ap-
peared before the committee said
the output of wooden ships in that
state could be increased. They
urged the construction Of all the
ships possible declaring that even
with the maximum of effort enough
vessels could not be built 10 meet
the demands after the war.

TUBERCULOSIS PROBLEM SEItL-
Gus.
War Conditions Increase White
Plague-State tuberculosis De-
partment Sends out Warm
ing.

According to a statement issued
by the department on tuberculosis
of the board of control last week the
tuberculosis problem is pressing for
serious attention on the part of the
state. War conditions have served
to increase the incidence of tuber-
culosis among the people, but the
number Of enlisted men being re
jected from the army on account OF
the white plague is cause for appre-
hension. Some 125 Iowa men have
been rejected from the environments
States and discharged from the
army. These men have come. back
to the various, communities from
which they enlisted and some OF
them need public aid The Red
Cross, through it's civilian relief
service, is charged with responsible
ity to care for these soldiers. or their
lions of Red Cross chapters are con-
fronted with the problem of what
20 do with the men who need treat
ment. Hospitals should be avail
able in which to care for them as
for all other persons suffering from
this disease, but practically all the
available hospital beds. in Iowa are
now occupied. There is no way to
prohibit a very great increase in
tuberculosis among the civilian pom
ulation of the state if persons suff-
ering from this disease are not
properly cared for. The nervous
pressure under which the people are
now living, the increased cost Of
living, and the changed conditions
resulting from the war become a
great opportunity for devastation by
the white plague. The virulence OF
pneumonia and the prevalence OF
contagious diseases during the past
year are evidence of generally
lowered vitality. Physical resist.
ance has decreased. 1t is urged that
immediate steps be taken in every
section OF the state to form lines OF
Ndefense against tuberculosis. Hos
pitfalls should at once be provided,
and the department on tuberculosis
stands ready to give every assistance
within its power If Iowa would
prevent heavy mortality from tu-
berculosis, steps must at once be
taken to control this disease. Re-
iected soldiers and their dependents
Should be adequately cared for:
Meanwhile, the public should not
fail to heed the warning and take
proper precautions to prevent the
increase of the white plague.

blue streak of the residue Of oil and
gasoline behind him Sunday after
noon. When he was halted at the
railroad crossing at the southern en-
trance to Osceola by Sheriff Tillot-
son he was running on three tires.
In his effort to make his get-a-
way he had not stopped to repair a
puncture. He had a high-gear Hud-
son and he was giving his pursuers
the race of their life, even with one
wheel running on the, rim; When
searched the car was found to con-
tain large quantity of booze which
was taken with the driver to the
office of Federal Commissioner Hunt
in Creston where the accused man
was released on bonds. He stated
that he had bought the booze in
Kansas City for his own use, about
three weeks ago and that he had
gotten on bender" and was un-
able to drive the car to Des Moines,
SO he went home without his car;
He returned for the car Friday and
