To Visit Norfolk
VIII Apportion Share of
Improvement Fund
To Port

Norfolk, Feb. 21.-Directors OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
recently taken over by the Van
Sweringer interests, will come to
Norfolk tomorrow to make a
brief survey Of the situation
here with a view, according to
information received by railroad
officials, to apportioning to this
section its share of the S15,O00,-
600 that road is preparing to
spend for improvements.
A coal pier at Newport News,
TO cost about S2,600,000, is one
of the principal items in this ex-
penditure, and it is thought like
" that the final plans for their
pier will be announced at meet
ing of directors following the
visit to Norfolk, which ends a
tour of the cOmpany's holdings.
Tentative allotment of funds to
this territory gives Norfolk and
Newport News about $5,0OO,OOO
in addition to the pier.
The visit of the directors here
is regarded as particularly sig
nifcant, in view of other railroad
projects now being carried
through to make of Norfolk one
of the most important gateways
to the South and Southwest. 1t
is reported in reliable circles
that the Chesapeake and Ohio is
going to build extensive docks and
warehouses, in addition to the
coal pier, and will place large
facilities on the Norfolk side of
the harbor. At present, activities
of this road are concentrated at
Newport News.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is making plans for expen-
diture of more than 100000
here in the establishment of new
tative plans for still further de-
terminals and has announced ten
velopments. 1t is believed the
Chesapeake and Ohio is making
a strong effort to keep abreast Of
the competition, because it main
lines and its tributaries serve
very largely the Pennsylvania
.territory.

Make Torch Burn
Under The Water
Announce Result of Elk
periments Inspired by
Fiction Story

Chicago, Feb. 2l-Jules Verne
out of the mexhaustible resources
of boundless imagination, paint
ed word pictures of fantastic
and seemingly impossible lnven-
tions-submarines, airships and
others-but the world has lived
to see most of them come true.
An American writer during the
war wrote a fiction story for a
weekly magazine in which he
described a submarine, trapped by
underwater steel chains, being
saved by a diver who slipped
through hatchway and cut the
chains with an oxy-acetylene
torch.
An engineer in the Underwrit-
ers' Laboratories here read the
story and set out to find whether
a torch could be developed to
burn under water. Today, as a
result. British deep sea divers
are trying to cut up and salvage
ships sunk during the war by
burning their steel plates apart
far beneath the ocean survace.
Engineers at the laboratory
learning of the English use OF
the torch, have just revealed their
experimental work, done five
years ago.
An oxygen and acetylene torch
contains in itself all the elements
necessary for combustion under
water, or any place else. The only
problem was to find some method
of dispensing the water between
the flame and the metal to be
cut, in order that the 5000 de-
gree Fahrenheit temperature OF
the torch might be brought into
play.
The problem was finally solved
by adding a third tank, contain
ing compressed air, to the equip
ment and surrounding the torch
head with larger metal tube
In use under water the blast OF
air passed through the large tube
and forced the water back max
ing way for the flame.
A small experimental set was
built and a strip of window screer
wire placed in a tub of water fol
the experiment. The flame burn
ed through the metal without diff
ficulty.

RECORDS OF WORLD WAR
VETERANS MAY BE FILED

There is still opportunity for
members of the Daughters of the
American Revolution in Alexan-
dria to have the world war rec
ords of Alexandrians filed with
records of others in the state.
On March l these records will
be sent to the binder and after
that date it will be impossible to
add anything further. Blanks
may be secured from Mrs. D..
Mauchlin Niven, Regent of Mt.
Vernon Chapter, or from DR..
Kate Waller Barrett, State Re-
gent of Virginia.
So far only two Alexandrians
have been recorded as against
many hundreds from other see
tions of the state. 1t is lamenta-
bl that city so rich in tradition
and with so enviable . record in
the World War should lag behind
other cities of the state in re-
cording the bravery Of local men.
Many Alexandrians who enlisted
for overseas service ar the direct
descendants of men of splendid
Revolutionary service and this
fact should be on record. not only
for the value of the fact to the
presnt generation but also for
the education of posterity.

offered his ad in the fight against
the narcotic evil. In a letter to
Chairman Porter, he said in part
Il can assure you Of my deep

CESS on this important subject.
