LOCAL MAN INVENTS
DOOR LOCK-ALARM

After ten years Of study on the
problem of Outwitting the burglar and
sneakthief, and after inventing a dozen
different cOntrivances, Sam Ritchie, of
this city has finally perfected and
patented what is probably the neatest
and most effective portable automatic
door lock and burglar alarm ever be-
fore invented
Mr.. Ritchie's invention weighs less
than a pound. is only about six inches
i'll length and may be adjusted more
quickly than key may he inserted
into Il door lock and the bolt turned.
No faStenings whatever are used.
Three little brads on either end of the
device engages the door and the floor,
and when a room is protected by this
lock the door cannot be opened quar-
ter of an inch without causing the dis
charge of blank cartridge, which
would arouse a sleeper and frighten
Il prOwler to Il hasty retreat. The de-
vice may be used with or without a
cannot be forced, for this invention of
Mr. Ritchie will withstand a pressure
of more than a thousand pounds A
burglars Jimmy is entirely ineffec
tive when one of these automatic locks
is in use on the door attacked.
Mr. Ritchie's model of the sdoOr lock
was made out of brass by himself and
is fine piece of workmanship and a
credit to the skill of the inventor both
as to ingenius construction and appeal
ing appearance. 1t is an effective little
protector for anyone and will be es-
pecially appreciated by the traveller
who is compelled to stop in strange hO
tells. as it requires SO little space in
travelling bag.
Mr. Ritchic was granted a patent on
his lock on May %, last. and letters
patent were issued to him on July Is.

London.-The capture during raids
in Ireland of Sim Fem documents al
legged to give details Of a conspiracy
for damaging government buildings in
England was said in police circles
to be the cause of the erection of the
formidable barricades which have
been put at the entrance to Downing
and King Charles streets.
In addition to the plot reported in
the House Of Commons recently by
Sir Hamar Greenwood, the chief Sec
rotary for Ireland. for the destruc-
ton Of property in Liverpool and
Manchester, 1t is said in police quar-
tiers that numerous other acts of ter
rorism were being planned.
1t is said that sensational discover
les have been made as to the activi-
ties of plotters in London. In one
case, according to the police, motor
cars were said to have been employ
ed to transport bombers from va
rious parts Of London to carry out
the destruction of the government
buildings.
Neither Premier Lloyd George nor
other members of the government
had asked for the protection now at
forded by the barriers, it is said, but
the police decided they are necessary
to protect the government property
and the lives Of officials.
The houses of Parliament were
closed to the public and many per-
sons coming up from the country
were refused admission. This official
action followed the detention Of a
strange man in the outer lobby Of
the House of Commons. Although no
official statement has been issued,
the Evening Standard says it be-
lieves the decision to close the house
to the public has an. important bear
ing on sinister Sim Fem activities
in this country.
