Appellate Court Affirms Deci-
sion Supporting Claims on
War Device.

Ralph G. Browne of Salem, Mass,
was awarded priority of invention to-
day by the District Of Columbia Court
of Appeals for the Mark VI type Of
undersea mines which proved so effec-
tive during the World War In disposing
OF hostile vessels. This type of mine
formed the substance of the North Sea
barrage planted in the latter part of
the war, extending from the north of
Scotland to Norway, which assisted in
preventing the egreSs of enemy sub
marines from the North Sea and re-
duced submarine destructiyeneSs toward
the end of the war.
Interference had been established by
John X. M. Harrison Of Ogontz, Pa,
who had been naval inspector to
supervise the manufacture Of Brownies
mines at Cambridge. Mass. Seven counts
OF interference were specified and the
Commissioner Of Patents held three of
them in favor of Harrison, dissolved
one and held the remaining three in
favor of Browne.
The appellate court reversed the ac-
ton OF the Commissioner in reference
to the points held In Harrisons favor,
and In an opinion of Chief Justice George
E. Martin declares the Harrison de-
vice to be merely a substitution Of a
direct firing" device for the relay CTR
cult" In Brownies invention. The de-
cision of the Commissioner as to the
points In favor OF Browne is affirmed.
Brownies discovery was made during
the World War and provided by means
Of antennae OF wire from a submerged
mine to q float near the surface Of
the water to form battery when the
steel hull of the submarine came in
contact with the float and caused the
explosion of the mine without the
enemy's vessel actually hitting the mine
BY means of the invention large areas
Of the sea could be covered with a small
number Of mines 1t was reported that
in connection with the North Sea bar
rage the number of mines needed was
reduced two-thirdS.

KING GEORGES
FEVER HIGHER
Infected Lung Renews Activity
But Moderation Is Expected
@ Soon

London, Dec. 5.-(R-An anxious
public learned today when a medical
bulletin of King Georges physicians
was issued that his majesty was
suffering from renewed activity of
the infection in his chest.
Previously an improvement in this
condition had been reported, but to-
days bulletin stated that this was
what had caused the disturbing rise
in his temperature which was noted
yesterday.
There was measure of relief to
the popular mind, however, in the
announcement that there were rea-
sons for hoping that this recrudes-
cence was being moderated end also
that the night had been a fairly
comfortable one for the king.
| There was nothing specific in the
morning bulletin regarding the
kings temperature. Nor was any
thing said as to how his heart was
reacting to the long strains of ill
ness which, it had been strongly re-
iterated recently, was the vital point
upon which the kings chances of
recovery from his grave illness
rested.
The bulletin was signed by Sir
Stanley Hewett and Lord Dawson of
Penn and read:
"The king has passed a fair night.
There are reasons to hope that the
recrudescence Of the infection which
caused the last rise of temperature
is being moderated"

Barber Shop Amt
What 1t Used to Be

Barber shop society isn't what it
used to be-and contrary to the
ideas of some people the addition of
women as steady customers of tom
serial parlors has tended to decrease
the amount of gossip.
This was brought out here today
IN the questioning Of Fred Ode, Sec
rotary of the state barber board and
9 prospective juror at the trial Of
Ray Potter on a murder charge.
Asked if he had not heard q great
deal of discussion about the case in
his barber shop, Ode said there is
not SO much discussion in barber
shops now as there used to be.
