FUTURE WARS TO
BE FOUGHT WITH
-. TALKING MACHINES

One of the finest stories Of the
deHeacy and perfection Of Victor
Record making is the story of the
part playing by Victor records In
the submarine warfare.
lDuring the war while the subma-
rine menace was st its height the
leading seientists of the country de-
veloped q submarine listening de-.
vice. By reason Of their long expert.
ence in sound recording the govern
rnent drafted the services OF 3 num-
her Of the experts OF the Victor rec
ord laboratory to help in the work.
As finally perfected the, device con-
sisted Of a sort Of ear lmichophone)
that was attached TO- the outside :of
the hull of a ship. From this tubes
led with e~arpieces fitting over the
head OF a sailor stationed inside the,
hall. So marvellous was the device
that twas possible to distinguish
the sound Of 2 submarine propeller
OF . distance Of three miles and at
that distance to locate IDS direction
and position within q radius OF 3;
hundred yards. These microphones
also clearly distinguish between The
sound made ~ the rropellers u va
rioas types o. steamers; the freight
ers, the big liner, the tug, subma-
zine, etc. all giving distinctive
sounds.
Having gone 50 far the govern
me1t then called again on the Vie
Tor factory and had made q series
OF records Of these sounds and these
records were then, usedeia the naval
training stations 10 teach the sailors,
tie differences between the sounds
Of the various types of craft. No
finer testimony eonH be given. as to
the accuracy, the delicacy, IN short,
the perfection of Victor recording
than that.-Adv.

~AuToMoBILE

4 We have had but few automobile
accidents in this city and in this
county. We have. been particularly
fortunate in this respect. One rea-
son Is that the owners Of these We
hcles IN the county have not bought
them for racing cars but for the pur-
pose of ~affording pleasure to them
selves and their families as well as
fo- business uses.
But in the last week there have
been two or three accidents in this
community. There will be more &C.
cidents whether people observe due
care in the handling Of these ma
chimes or not; and the number. Of ac-
cidents will increase in proportion
as the people grow less careful in
handling this more or less dangerous
means Of transportation. Because the
automobile is what the law calls a
dangerous instrumentality"| when
in use on our highways. Perhaps
when the new roads are completed
people will be more and more in
clined to make these machines more
dangerous at such times.
However, this may be, we do not
think it amias tos,sarn people who
drive Stars .toSexercise the utmost de-
gree of csre IN handling them. If
the drivers do this, the accidents
which will occur now and then will
not appear so grievous, nor will
those responsible for hurt to others
have 50 much ground for grief as
otherwise they might have.
And we may add that the peace Of
fcers Of the city cannot do better
than see that all drivers Of these
vehicles obey the traffic rules of the
city. We know that sometimes these
officers are accused of being to strict
and too anxious to make cases, but
their work is in the interest of the
man who drives the car as, we'll as
Of the man who is on the street as a
pedestrian, The automobile should
not be driven by the careless, the
reckless, nor by those for any rea-
son, whether of age or other cause,
ineapacitated to handle 1t. The only
way to avoid this is by having a po-
lice force which in the performance
of duty knows no one, and which
does its duty regardless Of persons
or circumstances. Everybody at one
stin1e or another through inadvertence
may violate the ordinances of the
city It is no harm for a police Of
icer to call ones attention to the
fact that he is thus breaking the law.

The honest man. will not complain,
not even if he is fined, and he will
be clad to observe the Law more
strictly in the future.

WAR TO THE BURROW

How effective rodent

bic range area in Sulphur Springs

Bureau of biological Survey, United
States Department of Agriculture,
demonstrated effective procedure to
a rancher, who completely cleared Il
tract Of land comprising $1,000 acres.
