RELATE STORY OF
NEW WAR DEVICE
(FIorida News servIee)

ORLANDO, Dec. 26.-In a now
it-can-be-told story released re-
Gently, the War Department said
a device which is called a static
or "sferics" direction finder saved
countless lives and aircraft in the
Pacific and holds great peacetime
possibilities.
The device, a close secret dur
ing the war, records static, can
locate the position of a storm
within a radius of 1000 miles. The
finder consists of cathode ray
indicating tube SIMILAR to those
used in television and radar sets
and two mutually perpendicular
receiving loops and amplifiers.
Although developed in wartime,
"sferics" began as a scientific
project at the University of Flor
ida in 1884. the aim being to track
down hurricanes by means of the
static associated with them.
In the advanced stages of its
wartime development, the direc-
ton finder was put to combat
tests in a simulated theater of
war at the AAF Center in Or
lando.

negro was shot and there was
one accident in which a sailor

police records In the city.
In the accident Raymond Wall,

a mobile fire unit consisting of

bump at the corner of Duval and
Southland and the mobile hose
cart broke loose and crashed in
to the gasoline pump of Antonio
Care; as garage on Southland.
The pump was knocked off its
base and glass scattered over
the sidewalk.
Wall continued on with the

POSSIBILITY OF FERTILIZER
USE; SOME OBJ
STACLES

Leveling of the asphalt street
at the corner of Elizabeth and
csToline streets is being done to-
day, according to Department of
Pubic Service Head Robert Dopp.
This is a spot which has occasion
ed much complaint.
Mr.. Dopp is also investigating
more possible sanitary use of the

There has been much complaint
in the past in the dumping of
raw sewage into the ocean off

National banks doing business in
the District must pay taxes on the
interest they pay to depositors.

Controversy between the bank

terest to depositors in the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1914, which
the bank commended should be de-
Quoted from gross earnings on
which 1t is taxed.
Mr.. Koenigsberger held with the
assessor that under prevailing Dis
trict statutes the interest, for q
national bank, was not deductible
