FOR
 AIR ATTACKS
 UNDISCOVERED

LONDON, Aug. 7. - The British Navy has discovered an antidote for aerial attacks upon naval vessels and is confident that the battleship is still a powerful weapon despite advances made in aerial warfare
 Lord Lee, of Fareham, First Lord of the Admiralty is authority for this announcement. The methods by which the Navy expects to repeal aerial at tacks is being carefully guarded.
 q do not underestimate the value of the Air Service" Lord Lee de- clared, "but believe me it does not spell the end of the British Navy.
 "The Admiralty claims today that it has already discovered and en- bodied in a design an antidote for all these new methods of attack, whether by torpedo or by bomb. We are not in the least anxious about our position as long as we are allowed to go on with our work.
 "The Admiralty and the Navy are not opposed to the development of the Air Service, but they are crying out for it, because the Air Service to the fleet has become quite as vital as the torpedo. We cannot be accused of trying to hold back, but the Navy must have control of it's air service. The air service is as much portion of the fleet and should be as much under its direct control as the gun or the torpedo.
 "The only complaint the Admiralty has to make against the Air Service is that, first, it is not developing fast enough, and, secondly, it is not under the control of the fleet. The air ser vice should not be developed at the cost of the proved and tried weapon upon which we have had to rely in the

past, and upon which we shall have to continue to rely"
 Lord Lees disclosures that the Ad- miralty has designed means of de fsnse against aeroplane attacks have led to considerable coniecture in London, where the battleship versus the aeroDlane controversy is raging as it did in the United States two years ago.
 The Atlantic Fleet has been in re. cent secret maneuvers, and the King has viewed these operations. It is reported that aerial attacks and aerial defenses formed an important part of these rlaneuvers, and it is most probable that the King has already seen the new and secret aerial defense in operation.

GOVERNMENT TO
 CHART UNKNOWN OCEAN DEPTHS

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-Two for. lner mine sweepers, turning from the pursuits of war to those of peace and science, are being remodeled in Dela' ware river shipyards, and are nearly ready to weigh anchor to start on an indefinitely long cruise in the Pa cific ocean for the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.
 They are steamers Pioneer and Dis coverer, formerly the Aux anG the Os- prey, which saw service in the North Sea. Now they are to be equipped with the finest scientific instruments for sounding and surveying.
 Some time during the summer they are to pass through the Panama canal and proceed up the Pacific coast to Alaska to sound and survey unchar- tered territory.
 Contrary to general belief, it was said, there still remains much. un- charted territory in that region. and many places show channels in- correctly marked and sounied. Also some places once correctly surveyed and sounded, have been altered by the constant action of the waves.
 Eleven officers and B men have been enlisted to man each vessel, and with the exception of the two com manding officers the crews ha~o been selected.
 The Coast and Geodetic Survey has taken over also third mine sweeper, the Flamingo, from the Nav! Depart ment, now lying at Portsmouth, N. H., enlisting a crew. Following altera tions, she probably will join her sis ter ships in Alaskan waters.

the Wear

DAINTED wood does not \ wear out, because the paint stands the wear. Paint is there fore the secret of durability in homes.
 That is why it is economical to keep a home always we'll painted. Paint costs much less than re- pairs. Compare the prices of paint and lumber as evidence of this fact.
 The second secret of economy is to use the best paint for all painting. The best paint spreads easily-it saves labor cost. It covers more area per gallon than ''cheap" paint.
 So paint your house when it needs it and use only the best paint.
 The best paints are scientific in formula and prep paration. We've made them for 73 years to meet the weather conditions in the West.

STARTLING STATEMENT

SJRR LING , A EM FEN
 If one of our amateurs should pick up radio message sent out to us from some planet circling a sun on the far frontiers of the Milky Way, he would know that the sender of the message lived and died more than 25,000 years ago, and that the message had been on the way all that time-and this, too, coming at the speed of light-186,000 miles a second: for the light by which we see such a star left there 25,000 years ago, when the Cro-Magnons in habited Europe, along with the bison, the saber-toothed tiger, the hairy mammoth and the woody rhinoceros.
 From that time 10000 years had to pass before Egypt appeared on the far horizon of history. Babylon, Greece. Rome also rose and fell dur ing the 5000 years more before the message would reach the inhabitants OI lH6 6dIlu, anu dlSO DelOE6 lHe3 Ill., habitants of the earth would have the skill and knowledge to receive the message.
 ETHER CAUSES VIBRATIONS
 The ether about us is in a con- stant state of vibration of incon ceivable intensity, but the wave lenghs of the vibrations are such that they pass through the space we occupy as freely asl though it were vacuous, and consequently we are unconscious of their presence.
 Yet all the intense agitations of the ether do not interfere in the least with the transmission of our radio messages, for there is room down in the regions of the ultimate for many different agitations to abide together without interference. There are spaces which are relatively as enormous between things infinitely little as. there are between the starry magnitudes of the heavens.

WORID-FAM0US SCIENTIST TELLS HOW RADIO SPEEDS UP SOUND TRANSMISSION

MAXIM PARK, N. J., Aug. z. - The most marvellous and mysterious thing in macrosom is the universal ether. From the ether all the worlds have been quarried, and from the ether all life has sprung.
 The communicating of the ether in the radio service is a thing so wonderful and masterful as to make the ghosts gaze.
 Alexander Pope said;
 Superior beings, when of late they
 saw
 A mortal man unfold all Natures
 law,
 Admired such knowledge in an
 earthly shape,
 And showed a Newton as we'd show
 an ape"
 Let those superior beings look at us now, and when they see small boy with a self-made mechanism holding wireless communication with his playmates over vast interven- ing spaces they may well show us for something more than apes. They may now point us out braggingly to one another, and boast a common brotherhood.
 RADIO MAKES SOUND FLEET
 Radio telephony, with it's speed of 186,0O0 miles a second-that of light gives fleet feet to slow-paced sound If, in telephoning by wireless from New York to San Francisco, the voice should travel at merely the speed of sound-1,0S8 feet per second-it would take more than four hours for the first word to reach the ear of the listener; whereas, by radio, the voice is transmitted at the speed of light, so that there is no appreciable lapse of time in the transmission of the voice to any distance on the earth's surface.
 If, however, it were possible to establish wireless communication with the nearest fixed star, Alpha Centauri it would take four years, even by radio speech, to cross the gap. With merely the speed of sound it would take 100000 years for speech to reach the Centaur.
