incinerators to consume all rubbish
and garbage. Even tin cans and oil
bottles can be dumped IN these In
cinerators and completely sterliZed,
so that their final disposition does
not involve storage of odor-produc1ng
receptacles. This eliminates the gar
bage collector.
Gas-fired heaters of hot air. steam

the coal man and the collector of

While houses throughout the coun-

city of Baltimore to construct an en-.

houses where no coal, ash. garbage or

FISH USES BOMBS
TO SLAY ITS FOES
Story Vouched For by Expe'
dition to South Atlantic
for Museum.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHARLESTON, S. c., September IL.
Fish tales, the kind that are some
times taken with little salt, are
being told here. backed by proof, how
ever, in the form of a collection of
hundreds of species gathered by the
schooner Blossom on its recent
scientific cruise.
The Blossom travelled 10000 miles
seeking specimens of pelagic. littoral
and island life for the Cleveland Mu'
scum. OF the more than $4,000 col
lected, 5000 were forms of bird life
and the next largest collection con-
sisted of fish.
Headed by Capt. George F. Sim
mons, the expedition spent 81 months
gathering the specimens. Sharks, the
deadly barracuda, bonitos, funny fish,
yellow-tail Jacks, flying fish, needle
fish, shippers, half beaks and grunts
were only a few of the hunters prey.
Microscopic Bombs Found.
Among the interesting specimens
brought back is the Portuguese Man
of War, known to science as a siphon-
ophore. The fish possesses tentacles
speckled with microscopic bombs
which explode when they land on its
victim, and fire minute harpoons. In
jecting an acid poison into the flesh.
The "Sea Devil or Vampire of
the Sea-" closely resembling the Stlg-
aree of these waters, was harpooned
by the Blossom. 1t has been known
to pull the weight of a vessel after
running afoul of the anchor chain.
One blow from one of his wings which
10 foot from tin IN
tip can stove in a whaleboat.
Few Man-Eating Sharks.
The Blossom encountered cat
sharks, brown, blue and deep-sea blue
sharks, and obtained several excellent
specimens of them, including some
newly born aboard ship. Man-eating
sharks, known as tigers or great
white sharks, were rarely met.
Several specimens of the deadly
barracuda were secured. These are
the only fish the South American ma
tiVeS dread.
With two fangs measuring an inch,
iutting out from jaws of from to 10
inches long, the barracuda is equipped
to feed upon any flesh it meets. 1t is
from to feet long as rule, and at
tains a maximum weight of IS pounds.
Golden Dolphins Caught.
Other fish caught included the golden
dolphin, of changing hues, and the
oceanic bonito. reputed to be the fast
est inhabitant of the oceans. One flip
of it's tail is said to be sufficient to
carry it's torpedo shaped body dis
tance of 100 feet or more.
Mid-ocean fishing did not prove very
productive, and most of the specimens
were caught near islands in the South
Atlantic.

COLUMBIA, S. c., September IL
South Carolina's second political
campaign of the Fall neared an end

The rule of the Democratic party
that requires joint campaigns within
the State does not apply to the run
off primaries and the candidates have

Speaker Brown has assailed Senator
Smith as an "ally of Wall street in

Senator Smith has retaliated by at

claimed exemption from the draft

Brown was one Of the sponsors of

In the gubernatorial race the cam
