LEARN FROM BATS

= British aviation scientists have
solved the secret of how bats avoid
objects they cannot see, and are APP
plying their discovery to aircraft in
hope of safeguarding them against
collisions, Reports of the expert
ments, made public here today by an
army aviation statement, said prog
'ress was being made with devices
adapted from studies Of the bats
which would act as representatives.
against collisions Of aircraft.
: According to the statement, the
scientists blindfolded y number of
bats and released them in room
which was crossed with many wires
and partitioned from another room
by grid containing holes just large
enough for the bats to fly through.
The result was that the flying MAN.
mails never touched a wire and flew
through the holes with ease.
+ The experiments revealed the bats
secret, They were found to emit a
note, often insudible to the ear,
which would bound back from the
wires and partition conveying acct
rate information to the bats sensl-
tive ears enabling them to map out
space with exactness.
Aeronautical experts believe that
Airplanes can do the same thing
The British are buying deyising in
struments to that end, and their eff
forts are said already to have led to
the development of instruments
which are expected to record for air
men, sounds as they approach objects
1t is said that this information is
expected to be supplied equally as
well in the dark or mist as in clear
atmosphere.

~ THE PE5PlE on 1sTRIcr 4

We 5aa Road Commss5as- o.
District q WISH to say chat 3J our
request an election will be- held
District four authorizing the sale
of $lI,501 Of bonds
That this is not an additional
amount that has already been 4q-
thhized by your vote. Il is the
last part Of the originaI $4,000,
that has been before the people of
this districts to rstify by election
three times.
We have had to come before you
SO often because we did not let all
our contracts at once, If We had
done SO we would have been able to
construct only half the roads we
have so far constructed.
We have been slow in letting con
tracts and the drop in prices has
shown that we were right in this
matter The last election was in
July 1920, and it is over one year,
and tor that reason we have to come
to the people again to authorize the
sale of the last bonds of the original
issue, Other Districts have addi-
tionsl issue. We have had onLy onA,
and the Bonds Of District 4 are less
than any other district.
This will not increase the tsxation
over last year, as tax for thess
bonds was levied last year
We have entered into contract
conditional on the sale of the bonds
to young contractors who are home
boys, the time ran out without the
bonds being sold. and we are only
now asking that additional time be
given to sell these bonds to pay for
the work that has been done in good
faith by the contractors. and we are
not asking for the sale Of AIRY
bonds that have not already been fu-
thorized b tfe !aotale. The only
reason being that the one year *
pired before the remainder Of che
bonds were sold
We hope the people Of the district
will realize that We could have a-I
once sold the bonds and let contracts
and spent the entire amount and re
cefved not half SO much result. We.
wish to say that We have had all the
roads in the district built by Noxu-
bee County contractors, and have
always ione everything to ret thel
most road for the money.

SAFEGUARD AGAlNSTCOLLISION


An Automatic safeguard against col.
Iisions and other railway and motor
accidents has been invented by the
spanish Engineer Alfonso Soto, says
FL Libertad. The apparatus words
through the sounding af an electric
bell to give warning. When the bell
rings, brakes are automatically appli.
ed and speed reduced.
Trials of the device are said to have
produced excellent results. In add.
ton to preventing collisions, it is
thought that the invention will prove
especially useful for regulating spec
when crossing bridges or proach'
ing railway crossings.

WATCH CASE COMPANY
TO ESCAPE TRUST SUIT
Criticised Contracts to b
Abandoned, IL Asserts.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-Notice that the
Government will move dismissal Of the
Keystone Watch Case Company anti
trust suit was filed to-day with the
clerk of the Supreme Court, where the
proceedings are pending.
The proceeding was instituted in the
United States Court at Philadelphia by
the Government which charged that the
company was q combination Of Compel
ing companies In restraint Of trade. and
further that It was engaging in unfair
trade practices by circulating letters
among dealers advising that Il would
not sell its products II they handle
products Of competing companies
The case has been on the docket OF
the Supreme Court since 1916. Recently
the company gave assurances to the
Attorney General that It soon would
abandon all contracts subject to criti-
cism In any respect. The case, after
the Supreme Court grants the motion to
dismiss the appeal. will remain under
the District Court order which enjoined
it from unlawful practices and holds 1t
subject to further proceedings whenever
such may in the opinion Of the Gov
ernment be necessary.

COOPERATIVE PLAN TO
SELL GRAIN IS SCORED
Scheme Almost Complete
Failure, Says Griffin.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-The grain world Is
seeing the almost complete collapse OF
the cooperative movement OF farmers to
market their grain, Joseph P. Griffin.
president of the Chicago Board OF Trade.
told the National Grain Dealers Asso-
citation to-day.
1.-THE leaders in this movement are IN
retreat" Mr.. Griffin said. Despite their
inexperience and utter lack OF marketing
knowledge. they have been exposed as
paying themselves enormous salaries.
The farmer has learned that the glow
ing promises made to enlist his financial
support are impossible Of performance.
without the formers money, to be SUP
piled in abundant plenty, this plan was
foreordained to failure. and thus We are
now witnessing the almost complete col
lapse of this embryonic monopoly"
Much legislation which had been a6-
vanced. Mr.. Griffith said. was nothing
less than q bold attempt to destroy the
present highly competitive marketing
system and substitute in its stead q
species of monopolistio control. This
sinister plan was to be sugar coated and
sanctifiede under the shallow pretence
that 1t was cooperative producers
movement. In plain fact, 1t was spon-
sored by an aggregation Of self-consti-
tued agitators and false prophets, who
in self-interest and for personal aggran-
dizement were attempting to capitalize
the unhappiness and discomfort Of the
farmers"

s5O,OOO,OOO LOAN
TO CUBA, is REPORT
Departure of Prominent Bank
ers to Havana Starts Un-
confirmed Rumor.

The departure OF prominent bankers
on a trip to Cuba gave rise yesterday TO
reports that s5O.O00.0 900 to s6o.oo0.ooo
loan to the Government Of Cuba would
be discussed and possibly would be ne
gotiated. Dwight w. Morrow of the
firm of ]. p. Morgan & Co. and Norman
Davis, formerly connected with the State
Department and back In 1914. when a
loan TO Cuba was negotiated by the Nor
gan firm, president of a Cuban bank, to-
gether with Eugene w. Stetson. vice.
president of the Guaranty Trust Com
pany of New York. are In Havana
Roger w. Farnham. vice-president OF the
National City Bank, was reported to De
in Washington.
At the office of ]. p. Morgan & Co. 1t
was stated that Mr.. Morrow had gone
down to look over the situation and TO
| obtain first hand information" He was
accompanied by Mr.. Davis, and will con-
fer, it was said. with Gen. Crowder and
prominent Cuban officials. 1t was de-
MED that any specific loan was under ne
gotiation, but IL was admitted that
/ large loan might be the outcome, al
! though il would have to be negotiated
with the advice and consent of the De-
partment of State.
| A short time ago the Government OF
Cuba appealed to the Government IN
Washington to make loan OF S6O,o0o,-
| 900, but such loan was not granted, and
it was stated that the income and ex-
penses of the Cuban Government would
have to balance more nearly before q
loan could be given. Some progress has
been made In cutting down expenses, but
not to an extent sufficient to make loan
possible. 1t was reported also that the
Morgan firm and associates had con-
sented to extend q floating credit OF $s.-
| 100000 to Cuba pending the negotiation
of a loan, but that report was denied.
The New York herald., 1921-10-04
Mexican Loan Denied.

The report that an "advantageous''
loan had been offered to the Mexican
Government by Harvey Fisk & Sons
was denied at the latter's offices yes
teriay. The report stated that a repre-
sentative of that firm had conferred
with Minister OF the Treasury Huerta,
but that the Mexican Government would
not give a definite answer until after
the arrival of Thomas w. Lamont OF J.
J.. Morgan q Co. In Mexico this week.
In banking circles II was stated that
there was little or no probability Of a
loan being offered TO Mexico prior to
her Governments recognition by the
United States.

Farm Loan Sale Results.

The Offering of 6o.oo0.0o0 OF per
cent. Federal farm loan bonds met with
a better initial days response from in
vestors than was accorded on the first
day Of the Offering of s40.000.000 OF
similar bonds last spring. The issue
was sold firm for day on the basis OF
participation of more than 900 invest
ment firms. Consequently. definite fig
ures as to the results of the first day
were not obtainable. but bankers In
New York and In the larger investment
centres were pleased with the start oi
the issues distribution The total to
be sold, however, is large one. Never
theless bankers look for a quicker dis
