VAR DEVICES
SECRETS ARE
NOW DISCLOSED

Washington. May 22.-At the edu-
cational exposition being given by the
department OF the interior in its build
ing at 18th and r streets, Washing
ton, this week there are being dis
closed for the first time Since the war
the secrets OF various military inven-
tions that were held under the ban
OF strictest secrecy until the Hun was
licked. The famous Browning gun
and the Browning rifle, patents upon
which have just been granted, are in
cluded in these death dealing devices
that aided greatly in bringing about
victory
What the other inventions are can
not be definitely stated at this time,
but is declared by responsible off
ciais of the patent office, who know
these secrets, that If some of them,
as for example certain new projec-
tiles for artillery, had gone into actual
use, Germany would have been plowed
under and blown off the earth. Air
plane, dirigib1e and automaticS would
have barraged and bombed the whole
interior and front of Germany and
gases would have been used that
would not have only destroyed all life
like the scythe of Father Time, but
dlsO WOulu nave destroyed All VeSeIa-
ton and perhaps rendered the soil USE
less for years to come.
The department is also explaining
for the first time the elaborate ma
chiery which it employed to keep from
the enemy any information regarding
new inventions of military importance
This responsibility, upon which it
might be said the security OF the en-
tire country resfad devoIued 41poy

TIL HYin' cost is mighty high You
will no doubt agree, but folks are
also livin' high it seems to me b'gee,
they don't fill up on spuds and beans
like grand-dad did of old, but want
grape fruit and high priced stun as
much as they can hold. When grand
dad chopped tn cordwood and split
tn logs for rails, his muscles were
not hardened by tn food that comes
in pals; he ate fried mush at break
o. day and hiked it for tn wood, and
did not wear his brain cells out a
thinkin' bout his food. With sorg-
hum for his biscuits and cabbage for
his kraut, he did not have to pawn
his watch to keep tn hunger out; he
knew tn hens would lay him eggs
and that his garden seed, would fur
nish him with all tn eats that he
would ever need. But nowadays
some humans, but few o. 'em / ween,
are too tarnation lazy for to keep
garden clean; they'd rather buy tn
canned stuff, and tn goods you pur-
chase dry, and spend their time a
howlin' that tn livin' cost is high.
AS for me I'll follow grand-dad HI tn
good old-fashioned way, for I know
that mother natur' has a dividend to
pay, she's a waitin' to declare it IL
buckle down to work, and I'm surely
not tn critter who a garden task
would shirk. s--------

TICKET IN PERU

= :
Lima, wednesday. May 21.--Augusto
B. Eeguia, candidate of the indepen-
dent party for the presidency of Peru.
in personal statement today claimed
his election by great majority. He
said kilograms received from the pro-
vinces gave him ground for estimating
his total vote at 100000 against less
than 10000 for Antero Aspillaga, the
next nearest rival for the presidency.
Senior Leguia's election carries with
him into office the other candidates
on the ticket, General Caesar Cane
varo. as first vice president, and DR..
Augustin de la Tore as second vice
president.
The inauguration will take place in
August, after the convening of con-
gress and the expected proclamation
of Senior Leguia as president of that
body.

office known as the primary examin-
ers committee. Each member of this
committee was a tried and trusted
employe Of the patent office. whose
integrity was unquestioned. as must
be the case in view " the extreme
methods the Huns were using in their
far-fiung spy system This inner coun-
Gil of seven men was sworn to absolute
secrecy as to the details OF every ap-
plication for a patent of a military
nature and also as to the suggestions
and ideas that poured from friendly
countries. and they were instructed to
hold any such device from patent un-
til the war was over. They were in
structed, however, that any of these
ideas and suggestions that might
prove helpful to the war authorities
should be communicated to them at
once.
These men acted under the author
ity Of two laws passed by congress in
1917, both relating to the secrecy of
inventions, and one giving the federal
trade commission sauthority over mat
ters relating to trading with. the en-
envy. AS soon as an application for
patent was placed under an order of
secrecy, everyone connected with tn :
patent-inventor or patent lawyer
was enjoined to secrecy, and all were
told that a violation of this order
meant a fine Of $4,000 or ten years
| imprisonment, or both. An army and
navy patent board was also instituted
| to- study the applications pending in
the patent office to See if any of these
| should be called to the attention OF
the military authorities This secret
advisory committee during the war
passed upon more than two thousand
ideas. suggestions, or devices, which il
was believed might be of service te
the cause of the allies or the United
States government, and out of these
suggestions found that some two hun
/ bred were of sufficient Importance tt
be submitted to the military authori-
ties. 1t is said that many Of these
suggestions were adopted. and it is
believed that they had an important

allies and was using its ingenuity tc

eight suggestions from England; >:
from France, two from Switzerland
one from Hawaii, one from Australia
one from New Zealand, three from
Mexico, one from Yucatan, five from
Spain, seven from Italy. one from
Russia, 20 from Poland, and one writ
ten in German and presumably from
Germany. In addition there were a
large number of American inventions
that were placed under the order OF
secrecy Patents are now being grant
ed for these inventions as rapidly as
the work can be done at the patent
office.

DESPERADOES KILL
ONE OF THEIR OWN
IN A GUN FIGHT

Philadelphia, May 22.-Desperadoes
operating in a stolen motor car kill
ed one of their member today in a
hold up here. A youth who was acting
as collector for large chain store
concern was attacked on the street
after he had left one of the stores with
the receipts in bag strapped to his
wrist The bandits. five in number,
sprang at him and grabbed the bag.
He put up a strong fight. lodging
blows ands hitting back. One of the
robbers fired a revolver shot at him
just as he ducied to escape a blow
from blackjack another was aim
ing at him. The shot hit the robber
squarely in the forehead, probably
causing instant death.
Some time later the motor car was
found abandoned on the street about
five miles from the scene OF the hold
up. The starkbody of the dead bandit
was in it. The man was young and
apparently of foreign birth. The rob-
bers got away with between $3.50 and
