RADIO NAV|GATES
BATTLESH|P IOWA
MANLESS VESSEL IS HANDLED
At SEA At A DISTANCE OF FIVE
MILES BY NEW METHOD
Vessel Handled From Shore While
Bombing Planes Attack From
The Air; Perfect Control
Maintained

Washington.-The efficient perform
ance of the battleship Iowa under
radio control during recent aerial
bombing tests NAV lead to revolution
airy changes In naval development Of
ficers believe. Without q soul on board
the Iowa was Unanswered from the
lbattleship Ohio, FIVE miles away, with
the utmost precision and there was not
hitch in the mechanism in more than
two hours while the Iowa was being
bombed.
1t was a scientific trimph. The
Iowa was real "Flying Dutchman,"
that mythical crewless ghost of the
seas. as she obeyed the will of Captain
f., L. Chadwick OH the Ohio, almost
hull down on the horizon. The invisi-
Bile, magic fingers Of the radio reached
out across the sea to whirl the Iowa's
steering wheel, operate the fuel oil and
water supply valves and start and
stop the ship.
So perfectly did the control function
that the officer on the Ohio maneuver-
ed the Iowa away from the attacking
air forces at the moment the bombs
were being released, varying the speed
Of the target vessel at will.
Army and navy officers who witness
ed the test were much impressed by
the possibilities of development Of the
radio control idea for use in future
wars. 1t was said to be apparent that
radio control might eliminate some
loss of life in such enterprises as
"block ship" operations, as when the
British undertook at Zeebrugge and
Ostend to bottle up German sub
marines. The 'bloek ship" Of the fu-
ture, it was pointed out, might sail
serenly into an enemy harbor without
soul on board and be sunk to OBJ
struct it's channel by the electrical ex'
plosion Of her magazines.
Already the navy is working out
plans for shifting control at will from
surface Assel like the Ohio to air
craft, either heavier or lighter than air.
The radio control device on the Ohio
is SO simple, officers say, that little
difficulty is anticipated in adapting 1t
for use in an airplane or dirigble.
When this development is worked out
the controlling aircraft will be able to
work at an. altitude Of 10000 feet and
above, safe from any gunfire from be-
low, and steer the controlled vessel
anywhere on the sea within fuel ra-
dius.

John Clarke, living east of Shelley
and in the vicinity Of Jameston, had
the misfortune of losing his garage
and the roof of his big potato cellar
by fire. The fire occurred about ii
clock Friday evening. Some young
fellows that evening, as the report
goes, were attempting to steal some
gasoline from the Clarke garage, and
lit a match on entering the garage;
the gas in one of the tanks became
ignited, the fellows became scared,
shut the garage doors and left things
to burn. There were two barrels OF
gas IN the garage and in no time they
both blew up, lighting up the country
a mile around and attracting many
farmers of that vicinity, who quickly
gathered to fight the flames. When
the barrels blew up they threw burn
ing gas on the roof Of the big spud
cellar and on other buildings around
including the residence. Thru the
efforts of the farmers OF that vicinity
the residence and other buildings,
excepting the garage and potato eel
lar were saved. The culprits as yet,
have not been apprehended, but the
officers seem to be on the right track.
Mr.. Clarke and family are on a trip

The charm Of his writing lies in the
fact that he has the novelists in

G. Wells in his outline of history has
far holder conception, viewing all

an eminently readable, a great book
finely planned, well arranged, at

historical sketches and telling raps
upon the kunckles and noses of the

To students of political science no

were in the American Common
