sales are numerous rather than

less, trade is going forward.

better than last week, and a fur.

Of last week, Bradstreet's Weekly

tive than is regular fall trade.
Pig iron and scrap material are
again lower, as Is Dltum1nouS coal

is reported pessimistic, which Is
interesting IN view OF the fact
that production is well above H..
100000 tons a week. Finished

CATAPULTS
New Device Will Do Away With
Huge and Inefficient
Landing Deck.
By WILLIAM G. CAYCE


LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6.-That

Of war within the very near future
was the revelation made at Los
Angeles Harbor recently by Lient,
Commander Newton H. White
aviation officer of Admiral Robert
e. Coontz's staff. commander Of the
Pacific fleet. ............. .......
The feasibility of the catapult
which was only an idea a year
ago, was clearly demonstrated by
from the catapult aboard the u
s. s. Oklahoma into q cross
wind, few out to meet the Call.
fornia as that man-o'.war steamed
into the harbor and returned again
to the Oklahoma without the
slightest mishap.
She was rolling worse than a
vessel of her size would at sea"
said the aviator, land we TAXED
up to her stern, hooked on and
were hoisted abroad without the
slightest difficulty.
Orders have been issued now for
every vessel of war, including sub.
marines, to equip themselves with
catapults the next time they call
Tor repairs. Each vessel is to be
equipped with two flying machines
a scout and a fighter"
The new catapult, which will be
away with the old system Of q
huge flush landing deck, takes up
no deck space and fires the fly
ing boat from the ship with sIlf'
Iicient momentum to guarantee
flying speed at the instant of take
OH. Vessels formerly equipped
with landing decks had little
room for anything else, and the
deck was q ready target for the
enemy.

hearing a radio concert. He ID a
relative Of Thomas Minshall, of

visiting there the ear.phones were
affixed to his ears by MinshalI as
an experiment.
Toomey was amazed when he

AS an experiment the radio was
tried at a faint degree and the aged
