Inventor of Death Ray
Will Not Reveal Secret

It is possible that death rays"
may some day be used as an awful
weapon of war, but DR.. Antonio Lon
goria, wealthy Cleveland, Ohio, sci
enlist and inventor, who in 1928
perfected a death ray" appara Gus,
will have nothing to do with recreat-
ing such machine.
This DR.. Longoria made plain in a
recent interview. He recounted that
his apparatus had killed pigeons on
the wing at four miles, and that he
then destroyed the machine because
Of its danger.
cts quite possible that someone
may stumble across the particular
electric wave I used" DR.. Longoria
said. II found it accidentally my
self, and I certainly am not proud
Of the discovery. The machine
killed small animals, and 1t could
kill human beings just as easily.
"The ray lies in one Of the unex-
plored frequency bands in the vicin-
ity Of the X-ray. 1t kills painlessly,
without burning, by changing the
light changes silver salts in photog-
raphy. But I don't like to talk about
it, because it could wreck civiliza-
ton. I'll have nothing to do with it.
My hands will be Clean"
DR.. Longoria said he first demon
strated his ray while working in
California on a colored motion pic
ture process, showing group Of
scientists that the ray could kill rab-
bits even when the animals were
encased in a thick-walled aluminium
case.
Later, in Cleveland, he demon
strated that the ray would kill
pigeons. he added.
81 could assemble such machine
again." DR.. Longoria said, "but I
never shall. I have no drawings.
The plans are in my head alone.
My inventions have brought me
wealth. I am interested now only
in doing something to help civiliza-
ton, which seems to be going back
ward instead of ahead"

STATE FAIR AT
CENTERVILLE Is
NOW ACITATED

The dairy and livestock breeders of
the Eastern Shore are conducting a
campaign to establish an Eastern
Shore Fair at Centreville.
The first fair held last fall was
very successful and it has been decid-
ed to make it permanent if the people
of the Eastern Shore are interested
to the extent of subscribing at least
$500 which will be needed to obtain
a site and equip the grounds with
water and lights and possibly con-
struct one building this year.
The State Fair Board has allotted
$500 in premiums which will be CIV
en- for dairy, livestock, poultry and
farm products.
Farmers who are interested are ask
ed to contribute any amount that
they desire. Annual membership is
$500, sustaining membership $500
and patron membership $4,000.
The following committee will re-
ceive contributions from interested
people in this county: Harry keenan,,
John ]. Ring and Neal Widdowson.
Contributions can also be given at the
office of the county agent.
It is planned to hold a meeting of
the several county committees at
Centreville on Monday, April 9Th, and
it is hoped that this county will be
able to report some contributions and
that we will cooperate in this move
ment which will have considerable
value in improving the dairy cattle,
livestock, poultry and farm products
raised on the Eastern Shore.
