HARDING DOUBTS
4 LAST INC PEACE
Tell War College World Likely
Ever Will Use Force.
SEES A CUT IN ARMAMENT
Refers to Coal Mine War-Blar1es
Trouble in West Virginia to Lack
Of Understanding-Wee
and Pershing Speak.

Washington, Sept. 3.-President Har-
ding, speaking at the opening OF the
fall term Of the Army War college, de.
clared that, mo matter where the best
aspirations of the world lead us, there
never may be time without the ne
cesSity for armed forces"
The President in his brief address,
however, pledged the 200 officers in his
audience that during his administra-
ton they would never be called to
perform military service "they could
not enter into with all their hearts
and souls as Americans"
Referring to the situation in the
West Virginia coal fields, the President
declared:
I'VE ought not to have conflict ike
that which is going on in West V1r-
ginia. 1t is due to lack Of under
standing"
Mr.: Harding said there were "two
relative essentials to the civilization
to which we aspire; one Is an IN
Outstanding among men at home and
the other an understanding between
nations"
Sees Armies Reduced.
The President expressed the belief
that the time was coming when the
burden of armament" could be di-
minished.
81 wish with all my heart, he
added, that there will be less of
armies and navies."
Declaring that through 1000 years
of pagan history and 1000 years OF
Christian civilization, the world only
lately had come to a civilized state Of
armed warfare, the President reiter-
ated that he thought it perfectly
futile to believe that there never may
be armed conflicts"
"We of America without unneceS-
sary bOasting," he continued, "have
come nearer to civilized warfare than
than any nation"
The President said 'the trouble with
the world today is that there are too
many theorists who know nothing Of
actualities."
Pershing Makes Speech.
Whoever, he added, brings practi-
cal experience into play with theory
will make real contribution to prog
ress.
The President was accompanied to
the war college by Secretary Weeks
and General Pershing, chief Of staff,
each of whom made a brief speech.

Mrs. Jake l.. Ham JD, the widow, sat 3 few feet away from Clara Haaon, intently watching the slender woman as she sat in the witness chair and re- lated the incidents leading to the shooting. The face of the older wo luan for the most was expressioaless, although at one point in Clara lannon's story she bit her lips and closed her eyes tightly in ar effort to preserve her self control.
 Clara uamon had just testified in reply to a question by $.

Three times during her narration she broke into tears and wept silently into handkerchief, once coming to the verge of demoralizatiop.
 Tears came to her eyes as she spoke of the beginning of the fight. Hamon she said had forced her into chair be- side him in front of the hotel where they lived, cursed her and accused her of having been automobile riding with some one.

Planting of black-walnut trees as me morials to soldiers Is recommended by the United States Department of Agri- culture. IF is pointed out that the black walnut played a valiant part in the world war. The wood was used for gunstocks and airplane propellers, and the nutshells contributed carbon for gas masks, while the kernels were used in many delicacies for the boys in the trenches. Demand for the wood for war purposes depleted the number of fine old trees, and this method is suggested for filling their places.

LEOPOLD GODOWsKY

Leopold Godowsky, the "superman
among pianists." as he has often
been called. was born In the ancient
town OF wilma, In the Lithuanian
province of Russia Poland, February
l3, 1870. From early childhood he
showed an extraordinary aptitude
for music, making his first public
appearance at the age OF nine at a
concert In his native town.
Four years later he was enrolled
at the Berlin -Hochschule. but only
for a short period, as even at that
age Leopold Godowsky had definite
ideas about piano teaching which
were not In sympathy with the dull
and conventional methods In vogue
at the Hochschule.
At the age of II the young plan
list left for America, where he toured
in concerts with celebrated singers.
and subsequently with the violinist,
Ovide Musin. In 1885 he returned
to Europe to fulfill his greatest am
bition, that of becoming a student
under Liszt at Weimar.
This ambition was never realized.
however, as upon his arrival in Eu-
rope he learned that the famous
composer, pianist and pedagogue
had passed away. His disappoint-
ment was somewhat ameliorated less
than year later by an introduction
to Saint Saens, who, after hearing
the boy play several OF his own
compositions. Immediately manifest
ed the most enthusiastic interest In
Godowsky.
But the restless nature and in
cessant activities Of Saint Saens
made continuous study with him i'm
possible, so in the end Godowsky
became practically his own teacher.
That he was his very best instructor,
time and his great reputation have
proven.
An opportunity to hear this great
artist will be given the people of
klamath Falls when he appears at
Scandinavian hall on Thursday eve-
ming. January 27th.
The stage Of this hall will be re-
modelled to give everyone in the
audience an opportunity to see as
well as hear the pianist.
Godowsky is bringing his own
plano, a concert grand, which will
greatly add to the enjoyment of
the program.

Measuring Rivers
FIolU Cold Work

In order to determine the value Of
a river as a source Of power or the
extent to which II may be utilized for
irrigation. navigation, or other pur-
poses, II Is first necessary to measure
accurately the volume of It's flow. For
this purpose the United States geo.
logical survey, department Of the in
terror, maintains many steam-gaging
stations, and It's photographic engi-
neers are continually travelling from
station to station to determine the
flow Of the rivers when the water is
at different heights. Several methods
are employed to find the exact flow
OF a river. In some pieces the engi-
neer can wade across the river, drop
ping into II his electric current me-
ter every foot or two In water at diff
ferent depths, and thus determining
almost exactly It's flow. As the
records should be kept throughout
the year many OF these measurements
can be made only through holes

pher who is measuring the flow OF a
stream wears high rubber boots,
which may reach up to his shoulders,
but though he may keep dry he is
naturally likely to get rather cold.

DENVER, Sept. 10.-Invention of
machine that will harness gravfta-
ton" is the claim Of W. #. Garbe, Den
yer mechanic and shopkeeper.
A working model of the new inven-
tion, which is on display in Garbe's
North Denver shop, is attracting wide
attention
The machine comprises a system of
wheels, around which link chains ope-
rate-there being weight affixed to
the centre rigid portion of the ma
chine. which contains the axis wheel
also rigid. The weight, instead Of
dropping like that of clock, revolyes
and thereby, Garbe declares. counter
balances the slack and produces gra-
vitation which forms the force Of the
machine and which it harnesses. ready
for man to use.
Garbe asserts that, with his ma
chine perfected and built to suit all
purposes, it will run any kind of ma
chinery and will eliminate the neces-
sity Of fuel in producing power
"Will Run Indefinitely"
some might call my machine per-
petual motion, but there is no such
thing as perpetual motion" Garbe de-
clares. My machine, however, will
run indefinitely.
I realize that it has been universal
" taught that harnessing gravitation
is an impossibility, but I'm confident
that ] have solved the problem.
Il do not claim to know what the
force Of gravitation Is; nor does the
electrical expert know the composition
or force of electricity, nor the ply
stefan the force behind radium, but for
more than thirty years have been in
terested In the study of harnessing
gravitation, having studied it from
every angle. and my machine is based
upon mathematics.
Force We Cannot Understand"
I'VE know that it is gravitation that
holds the unnumbered worlds together
"a force that we cannot understand.
In Ezekiel there is mention OF
wheel within a wheel, and of the
spirit Of the machine and it is the
combination Of these that 1 have
worked out. l have assembled my ma
chine on the planetary system, with
mathematical precision, and the spirit
of the machine is that unknown force.
Il am a practical machinist. and !
am convinced that / have solved the
problem of harnessing gravitation. I
am perfectly willing to give demon
stratons to the skeptical.
II know with my machine 1 can in
crease or decrease power; that in my
working model can demonstrate this
power. and, as 1t operates itself and
has its own power in operation, there
is 10 need for coal or other fuel
