FINDS WAY TO FIRE
SHOT ROUND CORNER
j. Fl. Hammond, Jr., Solves an
Old Problem When 1t Is to
Be Done Under Water.

The old problem Of shooting around a
corner had been solved, according to an
announcement made by John Hays Ham
mond, Jr.. yesterday. At least It's been
solved when It's done under water. 1t
does rot involve curved gunbarrel or
anything OF that sort. just what It does
involve was not made public by Mr..
Hammond.
The new system is an automatic con-
troll OF torpedoes taking a curved course.
the announcement says, by which bat
tleship or submarine could fire torpedo
at a target In any direction without
changing the course Of the vessel Sub
marines ecuirpcdewith the system could
attack two targets at the same time.
Mr.. Hammond. who was graduated
from Yale in 1910, has been experiment
Ing with wireless for years. and his dis
coveries In wireless control of torpedoes
have attracted attention from naval ex-
perts. He devised systems for radio
direction of torpedoes from the shore.
from vessels and from airplanes. One
hundred and twenty-eight patents. with
the exclusive rights to the devices, bear
ing on radio control. were sold by him
to the United States Government In
1916 for s750.00o which was said to b
about what he spent In developing them.
He had refused several larger offers
from foreign Governments. AS the in
ventions were principally useful in coast
defence. nc opportunity for their use
arose in the war.
The new torpedo being Automatic
ally" controlled, apparently is not con-
trolled by wireless and would not be
subject to the objections that have been
urged against radio controlled devices
that radio interference might hamper
the workings and perhaps turn the tor
pedoes back against their senders. Mr..
Hammond claimed to have perfected
his device go that this was impossible.
but there remained doubters.
Mr.. Hammond has carried on nearly
ali of his experiments at the Hammond

Attempt to Defy Elements,
He Declares.

Counsel for Edward Small. theatrical
booking agent and motion picture pro-
moter, in opposing yesterday In the Su-
prcne Court the demand for $4,000
week alimony and $4,000 counsel fees
made by Mrs. Laurel Miller Small In
her suit for separation, declared Mrs.
Small to be paranoiac. Their descrip-
tons of some of her actions led Mrs.
Small to interrupt, declaring the law
yers were not telling the truth. Justice
McAvoy admonished her to keep quiet.
An affidavit submitted by Harry 8.
Hecheimer OF counsel for Mr. Small al
legged that on July s, 1920, Mrs. Small.
claiming to be beyond harm from the
elements, stood in the bathtub In her
home at els West Hath street, poured
gasolene over silk robe she was wear
ing and set fire to It, Small, who was
not living with her at the time. heard
OF her burns and sent his own physician
to treat her, then had her taken to Belle

philosophy which she has been dissem-
mating as editor OF the Worlds Jour
nal Of Philosophy. She collected $4,000
in subscriptions for this magazine and
used the money for personal require
ments, he alleged. The magazine sus-
pended publication some time ago.
He denied that Mrs Small started her
husband in the booking agency business,
declaring Small was struggling along
making his start at $50 a week when
the couple married in 1912. Neverthe-
less, the lawyer alleged, Mrs. Small went
around telling friends her husband was
earning $1,000 a week under her man
agennent of his business affairs she
Just allowing him carfare and lunch
money and controlling the finances her
self. Her allegation that Small now
makes from $4,000 to $4,000 a week
was denied. THE best business year he
ever had brought him an income Of
$50, 900 Small asserts. and in the present
theatrical slump he finds it difficult to
make ends meet.
Feldenstein told of separation

airy 20, 1920, under which Small gave
HIS wife $4,000 to be released from all
alimony claims. Testimony taken IN
the Domestic Relations Court last Ar-
gust was introduced. in which Mrs. Small
denied signing the separation agree
ment as the result OF which Small was
ordered to pay her $50 a week.

in convention yesterday OF the Washing
ton Irving High School again criticised
the treatment accorded TO mentally
defective veterans OF the war by the

WATERFOWL NOW
OBTAINABLE FOR
NEW CITY NAME

The name Watertown is now
available as the new home for East
Moline. This is the advice received
from Louis Emmerson, secretary of
state. by Ralph Stolz, secretary of
the East Moline Chamber of Com
merce, late yesterday afternoon. It
took long time for the matter of
the annexation Of WATERFOWL to
East Moline to be Strengthened out,
after it was discovered that no rec
ords of the merger had been on file
at the state secretary's Office in
Springfield. But after certificates
OF the annexation had been received
IN the state capital and were ac-
knowledge by the authorities the
letter which informed the Chamber
or commerce secretary that the
name Watertown would be reserv-
ed for 80 days for East Moline was
received in East Moline. A certifi-
cate of trust has been asked of the
state secretary, Mr.. Emmerson. and
as soon as this is received it is
probable that petitions will be cir
culated in East Moline.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass Of Salts II Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Troubles.
Won.

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the
kidneys, they become over-worked
from the strain, get sluggish and
fail to filter the waste and polsons
from the blood, then We get sick.
Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, sleeplessness and urinary dis
orders come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache
in the kidneys or your back hurts
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,
full of sediment, irregular of pas
sage or attended by sensation of
scalding, stop eating meat and get
about four ounces Of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass Of water before
breakfast and iii a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so it no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effer-
vescent lithia-water drink which
everyone should take now and then
to keep the kidneys clean and &C
tive and the blood pure, thereby
avoiding serious kidney conplica-
tions.-(Adv.).
