No. 47 IN UNION IS STRENGTH PERISCOPES MADE IN DOZEN STYLES PERISCOPES MADE IN DOZEN STYLES 'EYES' FOR UNDERWATER BOAT CONSTRUCTED ON MANY PRINCIPLES Submarine Outlooks Can View Ha- rizan in All Directions In building your submarine you may now have your choice of periscope. Ernest Couset describes no less than twelve types, and presumably this catalog by no means exhausts the possibilities. Simple as the instrument may seem, says Mr. Couset, its construction has proved a complicated problem for the opticians. The simplest form is a vertical steel tube about twenty feet long, with a reflecting prism at the top and the lenses of a telescope at the bottom. It is, in fact a simple telescope whose line of sight "turns a corner" from horizontal to vertical as it passes through the prism. This instrument takes in 45 degrees of the horizontal or one-eighth the total field, at one view. By turning the tube on its axis, the rest comes into sight successfully. Says Mr. Couset, in substance: "This periscope gives very clear images, but it can be used only with one eye at a time. It does not allow of distinguishing the different planes of vision very well, and tires the observer's eye very quickly. Binocular periscope have been attempted, but luminosity is lost by gaining the advantage of stereo vision. "The so-called combination periscope allows of vision with both eyes, though it is not stereoscopic. A real image is thrown on a ground glass screen, much like that of a photograph camera; it may be looked at with the two eyes, but no impression of depth and space is given. The screen avoids excessive fatigue, but it can be used only in bright light. The size of the image is often insufficient to bring out detail. To obtain greater enlargement without diminishing clearness too much, magnifying lenses are sometimes added. "The preceding periscope do not enable a commander to take a rapid survey of the horizon; it takes five to ten seconds to make a complete circle. Again, the observer must himself move around with the eyepiece. If the image is to remain upright without moving the eyepiece, it is necessary to use a compensatory prism whose movement makes up for that of the eyepiece. "This is the principle of the panoramic periscope whose tube is fixed and bears at its summit a glass bulb containing a reflecting prism mounted on a base that may be turned with a handle. There is a compensating prism that turns at half the speed and keeps the image straight. "To observe successfully all points of the horizon, it suffices to turn the crank, without its being necessary for either observer or eyepiece to change place. "Nevertheless, however rapid the operation, it does not enable the observer to see the whole horizon at once. This is realized in the periscope with ring shaped eyepiece. At the top of the tube is a ring-shaped lens which refracts toward the base of the tube rays that reach it from all sides. A panoramic image is thus obtained that includes all surrounding objects, though they appear smaller and more distinct than with the naked eye. The observer also sees in the center of the panoramic image, a portion of the field on a larger scale." CONCRETE TESTS PILING Blocks Weighing 240 Tons Tax Strength of Ninety-Foot Piles. In the construction of 1,000-ft. piers in New York harbor for the accommodation of the large modern ocean liners, it was necessary to use piles ninety feet in length driven to a footing in soft mud. To determine the bearing power of the piles, a novel method of testing was adopted. The tops of the piles were covered with a platform, and on this platform 240 tons of concrete blocks were loaded. The first two tests resulted in a failure in the piling, which necessitated changes in construction, but the last test, in which the concrete blocks were left in place for six months, proved that the bearing power of the piling was sufficient. The concrete blocks has been made for a river wall around Manhattan island and will be used for that purpose after all tests are completed.—Popular Mechanics.

Usually five deputies canvass more than a month in a city before a Camp is organized but only two have covered Cleveland for the past three weeks and the Camp is ready to be organized. Cleveland has received Woodcraft with open arms because the people here read and know the general financial standing of the American Woodmen. We cheerfully refer you to the Commissioner of Insurance and will gladly ask you to look up our financial standing with R. G. Dunn & Co. Whether claim is for one hundred dollars or for one hundred thousand dollars, we can pay it upon proof of death. This is a very strong statement but we can "deliver the goods." The young ladies of Cleveland are taking quite an interest in the American Woodmen Female Band as the instruments are already in the city. The band is to have its pictures made, Sunday week, on the beautiful lawn in front of the "Geraldine." Insurance Department of the State I. W. H.

C.—Reports circulated generally in this country that our troops with the American expeditionary army are placed on the most dangerous stations on the fire line in order to spare the white soldiers are specifically denied by Gen. Pershing. He said he could not "comment too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." The gen. corps colubrum, which was in reply to one of inquiry sent by Secretary Baker, said "The stories, probably invented by German agents, that colored soldiers in France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers, that when wounded they are left on the ground to die, without medical attention, etc. are absolutely false. Losses by Our Regiments. Losses by Our Regimens. "The following are the losses as reported up to June 18 in the four colocated compound in the city." The 369th Infantry—Died of wounds, 3; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, 2. The 370th Infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. The 371st Infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, none. The 372d Infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none; used firearms, that Negro troops have not thus far occupied positions as dangerous as those occupied by white Soldier Ordered Out of Pullman Car. New York City—The N. A. A. C. P. has asked Secretary of War Baker for a ruling on the attitude of the War Department in the case of an Afro-American private, S. P. Jones of St. Louis, who while on his way to Camp Cody, Deming, New Mexico, traveling on train and transportation furnished by the government, was ordered out of a Pullman car by the train conductor at Texarkana, on the order between Texas and Arkansas. The Association has also called Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo's attention to the brow-beating tactics adopted by the chairman and other members of the committee in charge of the War Savings Stamp campaign in Caddo Parish, La., the principal city of which is Shreveport. It sent the Secretary a clipping from the Shreveport Times carrying the heading, "Adopt Force to Get Negro to Buy War Savings Stamps" and called the action to the local cooperation of Afro-Americans generally in Liberty Loan and War Savings drives.

"A tour of inspection just completed among American Negro troops by officers of the training section of these headquarters shows the comparatively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. Their training is identical with that of other American troops serving with the French army, the effort being to lead all American troops gradually to heavy combat duty by a preliminary service in trenches in quiet sectors. Horsed troops in trenches have been particularly fortunate, as one regiment had been there a month before any losses were suffered. This was almost unheard of on the western front. Win Croix de Guerre "The exploits of two colored infantrymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol, killing and wounding several Germans and winning the croix de guerre by their gallantry, have aroused a fine spirit of emulation throughout the colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active service. "The only regret expressed by colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. They all are desirous of having more active service than has been permitted them thus far. I cannot commend them too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, which exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." RENEWS FOR TWO YEARS.

The Tate Stars lost a rather interesting game to the Willard Storage Batteries, (6 to 3), last Sunday, at Edgewater park, before a large crowd. Errors and three passes by Henderson of the "Tates" proved their undoing in the 4th, although they outhit the Willards two to one Irving, in the last five innings pitched great ball for the Tates.

It is in dire need of mechanics and labor of all kinds, and is begging their present employees, white and colored, to recommend their friends to the plant for positions which they may be able to fill. And yet when those of color apply for some of the better positions they drey fled from filling, they are given the common labor of the plant by the number of machines of all descriptions are standing idle because the manager will not put colored men to work at them. This same manager also issued an order to one of his colored foremen, on last Saturday, to tell the colored men to use a certain toilet in the blacksmith shop and also to use a certain wash-bowl, both of which are in a filthy condition at all times. No effort is being made to fix toilets or put them in a sanitary condition. This matter has been reported to the manager and different foremen on numerous occasions. The manager ought to be aware of the fact that the laws of Ohio require all factories to have toilets enough to have one for every 50 men. There are now employed in this plant in the neighborhood of 125 colored men. It is said that this is the only plant hereabouts that is making such discrimination at this time. A few days ago the badges which read "Foreman" were taken away from the three colored men who were foremen. The excuse offered was that it was a mistake for them to have such badges. Also one colored man was put to work on a machine for 15 minutes and at the end of that time was told that the operator had returned to work, so he went back to labor. A. B. C.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF When America was but a child, in its struggles against the French and Indians, it was glad to get "colored" help, although it forgot them afterwards. When America was a young man and fought against the English in the Revolutionary war, it was glad to get "colored" help, although it forgot them afterwards. When America became old and fought the English in 1812, it was glad to get "colored" help and afterwards a recommendation was made to free the colored participants. When America became a full grown man and had its first big family quarrel, commonly called the Civil War, NO COLERD HELP WAS WANTED, FIRST, but later on, ye gods! they took them in by the thousands and was "powerful glad" to get them, and as a war measure freed them, even though they hardly recognized them afterwards. The Spanish tamerian row came on to a tempest in a tame country; the colored brother was not particularly desired. He had to be killed and who dies most gallantly if not more gracefully on the battlefield than the Negro? He must battle little here below and he gets—"dog gone" little. He is midst into the realms above, leaving his epitaph, "the colored troops fought nobly." San Juan hill became a part of that are gone, and the colored brother was, as usual, forgotten. When we say forgotten, we do not mean wholly forgotten, for the worshippers at the shrine of lynch law, managed to keep him before the public in an unenviable limelight. Such as on trees, posts, stakes, etc. Bing! the sound of revolver rent the air, and lo, the world's war was on. From little acorns might oaks arise, and lift giant limbs up to the skies. When America entered the struggle, the colored man, as usual, was not wanted. He was repulsed, rebuffed and bluffed from every standpoint. San, a change of heart became evident. Converse. Converse as laborers. Then they were wanted as soldiers. So, "over there" they went and in France, with a man's chance, like the hundreds of thousands of Negroes from other lands, in the thickest of the fray they have dashed, and their deeds will be told in song and story—Dabney in Cincinnati (O.) Union. When the world war is over, it will again be the case—the colored brother will be forgotten. It will be necessary for him to force a recognition of his rights and there is no better time to begin doing so than NOW! Yes, history repeats itself—sometimes too often for comfort.

In the recent raise of wages of railroad employees with retroactive bonus it seems that only the white employees go the bonus. It was cut out on the Afro-American employees. Naturally the question arises, Why? There has been a tendency on the part of some, to see humor in the fast that there are eight candidates for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor. There is more than humor in it. There is a very gratifying party reason. Eight level-headed and experienced leading Republicans coming from all sections of the state, north, east, south and west, have became candidates because they find the Republican party is going to succeed this fall. Furthermore, they not only represent party geography, but these eight men are representatives of the farms, the press, labor and professions. From all sections and from all, walks of life come the same opinion that this is to be a Republican year. Our Democratic friends will do well to extract what humor they can from the situation now. There will not be much amusement for them in November. GOV. "BIRTH OF A NATION" COX'S ARGUMENT Here in a nutshell is the argument Governor Cox sets forth for his re-election this fall: "The governor, as head of the state, has asked and received, in our war work, the co-operation of men of all political parties, and a contest which creates division and breaks up the solid rank formation, no efficient now and so necessary in the future, must, in the common interest, be avoided." Gov. Cox sets forth without qualification that he has received in the war work the co-operation of men of all political parties. The definite statement and inference, therefore, is that Republicans have served in solid rank under a Democratic governor. Why, if a Republican should be elected, need 'the solid rank formation' be broken, or division be created? Surely the Governor does not mean to say that we will have division created, or the patriotic solid rank formation be disintegrated. FINISH VERBAL OUTPUT Congressman Pou, Democrat, North Carolina, said in debate: "As I stand here now I can see all over the South the vine-clad cabins of this kindly race. They have their faults, but disloyalty is not among those faults. In their homes you will find a burning love of country, a burning love for the flag. From these little homes throughout the South responding to their country's call the young Negro men are now answering. Here; we are ready." Why then not enact a law that any man, white or black, who serves in the military or naval service of his country in this war, shall have the right to cast his vote in any election hereafter and to have it, honestly counted? Why not a law against lynching, which is even more important to the loyal young and old "Nurse" of this country? Why not by presidential order, stop the numerous colonies being drawn in their governmental departments at Washington; D. C., principally, and elsewhere in the country against Afro-Americans, who are eligible to appointment to clerical positions as a result of passing civil service examinations? Some one should inform Mr. Pou that fine words are good up to a certain point. Fine acts count. PARTY SECURITY BEFORE NATIONAL SAFETY From time to time, high officials of the administration are disclosing the fact that they had full information as to the German violations of our national rights during the time when the administration was also boasting of our friendliness toward Germany and not getting ready for the certain conflict. Former Ambassador Gerard has repeatedly told of his intimate knowledge of the faithlessness and inhumanity of the German rulers. George Creel has enumerated the instances in which the administration had discovered German conspiracies in this country against the interests of this government long before we entered the war. Now in an address at Schoenecty, New York, Secretary of State Lansing referred to the plots which, while this country was still neutral, were directed, approved, or financed by Count Bernstorff, Von Papen, Boy-Ed, Luxhung, Von Eckhardt, and other representatives and secret agents of the Berlin government. The remarkable feature of the address is contained in the admission that "long before it was considered wise to make the facts public, the American government, possessing evidence of their improper conduct, kept constant watch over these conspirators, who depended upon the innocent credulity of these 'idiotic Yankees,' as captain Von Papen sneeringly called us." And yet, with these facts in hand and kept secret from the American people, the administration dallied with preparedness, made a campaign on a "kept-us-out-of-war" platform, and an nounced that there was no "hostile feeling here in official quarters toward the Imperial German Government" and that the "best of friend, relations exist between this country and Germany." No one was fooled but the American people.

U.S. FORCE ADMINISTRATION —Buy War Savings Stamps— THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 29, 1918 HAS CHEESE CEREMONY. One by one the old-time London ceremonies disappear, but the guessing of the cheese still remains, the master of the ceremonies, Mr. Shelton, being one of the most familiar figures in city circles. You will find him at luncheon any day presiding as he has done for nearly twenty years, over the fish ordinary at Simpson's, the old restaurant at Bird-in-the-Hand court, Cheapside, a restaurant which dates back to the beginning of the eighteenth century. It is necessary to get there sharp at I o'clock, for to be late is to run the risk of not getting a seat, the dining room on the second floor being usually crowded. It was particularly so on the recent occasion of Mr. Shelton's 41st birthday. What Mr. Shelton does not know about fish is scarcely, worth knowing. There are said to be about 170 varieties or edible fish obtainable in England, and Mr. Shelton knows them all. He has cooked them, sauced them and served them, and now presides over the most popular fish dinner in the city of London. And when you have partaken of whiting, eels, whitebait, and salmon, comes the great event of the day. A Stilton cheese is brought in, and slips of paper are handed round to every one in the room. Mr. Shelton gives a rap on the table with his hammer, and rising to his feet says, "Ladies and gentlemen, we will first say grace. And then, ladies and gentlemen, according to our ancient custom, we will take the height, weight, and girth of the cheese." And everyone is invited to write down the three on the slip of paper provided. Should anyone be right in three guesses, there is a generous supply of champagne to celebrate the event; but very seldom indeed is anyone correct in all three items—Tit-Bits. NAIL PACKING DEVICE. New Scheme Works in Most Magnetic Manner. In an attempt to lessen both the labor and expense of nail packing, a machine has lately been developed which apparently does the work much more efficiently than is possible by manual means. With it man manufacturers are enabled to box nails in paste board or fiber cartons for the convenience of customers and retail dealers allure, and at the same time make an approximate saving of 4 per cent in freight charges. Ordinarily nails are packed in wooden keys. In doing this about a third of the contents are usually placed in the containers by hand in order that the tops may be put in place. This practice is overcome by the machine, which arranges the nails in parallel rows so that they may be placed in either boxes or keys in an orderly manner, eliminating waste space and allowing the use of smaller containers. The paralleling of the nails is done electromagnetically.

So exclusive are they that of late years they have been reduced to associate solely with one another, for they are for the most part not rich enough to travel, and if very rarely happens in these toppyrushy days that anyone goes to lineage to be permitted to associate with them. Besides they have a marked dislike for foreigners, because, as one of them was kind enough to explain, foreigners, although a source of profit to inkeepers and the like, are to them a source of positive loss. Before the tourist took to stalking about in their 'mild living was cheap there, it seems, and servant maids were plentiful. Now living is terribly dear, as they count dear and not a servant maid is to be had. Nor is that all. Although the tour bets nothing for them, but step on their toes and annoy them they must pay higher rates and taxes that he may have good roads to walk on and spiral railways, in which to travel. Thus, if any route, is their tale. Thus, if they scowl when they meet him—and they certainly do—it is not without reason. Women Just Will Keep on Doing It, So— One of the incomprehensible things about women is why some of them insist on wearing clothes which are in no way suited to them. There are a great many who really do not seem to have any idea as to what is or is not becoming to their types. It seems almost incredible, and yet it is true, that a woman will go into a shop, try on a hideous dress before a mirror, look at it on all sales and then buy it. One would think that after seeing how very unbecoming a hat is the prospective buyer would shun it. But few women seem to realize that hats look badly on them until afterward, and sometimes not even then. FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR To The Loyal! Five of our soldier boys are at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, awaiting death as a result of the recent Court Martial proceedings growing out of the Houston riot. 'Though these men have been sentenced to die, their cases will be reviewed by President Wilson, and he has the power to commute their sentences to life imprisonment, if he will. He can even pardon them, if he desires so to do. These men were victims of rank prejudice. They were forced to take the law into their own hands by reason of the oppression and insults offered them by southern whites. Their cases are not ordinary ones, and they deserve extraordinary consideration. Their comrades who died a few weeks ago were hanged without executive intervention. These five boys have a chance to live, if the President says so. "The Gazette" urges our people to fill out the appeal to the President, to be found on this page and also to write a letter to his or her U. S. Senator and Congressman asking that the President be urged to save these boys. They are victims of peculiar circumstances and conditions born of prejudice and hatred. Write today; help to save them. White House, Washington, D.C. The undersigned respectfully requests you to disapprove the sentence of death imposed upon the Colored soldiers in the court martial at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.

Upon an insulated frame two naked metal conductors are coiled in a spiral with sufficient space between the windings. The two conductors are connected with a source of electricity in such a manner that the current cannot circulate until it is actually used in killing an insect. This is one of the advantages of the invention, for in this way no current can be wasted. Insects may be attracted to the electrocution either by water or by any other attractive substance. At night time electric lights are the best. As quickly as an insect touches the bait or the light and comes in contact with any two of the live wires they drop down into the bottom of the trap. The current is very slight and passes thru the insect only for a moment. The Truth About Barbara Fitchie Writing in Harper's Magazine, Louise Closser Hale tells the story of Barbara Fitchie as it was told to her recently at Frederick. Her version shatters another literary myth. "I fought with the South," said the veteran. "He did,' continued his wife,' and my brothers fought for the North. The two armies used to come raid' thru the town, and pickin' each other of, right in the street sometimes. "Would you be scared? I probed. "Scared? Why I'd be that scared that I couldn't tell the colors of the uniforms. Thought I saw my brothers in the front yard, and they were liebs. But they never hurt women, neither side." "No, nobody ever hurt women in those days,' said the old soldier. "But us girls used to have good times with both sides. We'd joke an laugh with the Rebs, and they'd say they would come back and marry us and while that would make us hoppin mad, some of 'em did come back and marry us.' The old old lady and the old old gentleman smiled at each other. "This ain't tellin' her about the flag' insinuated the husband. "No, 'taint' Daughter, run up and get that picture of Mrs. Quantille. You know, ma'am, we always felt a battle ahead and when the orders came from Lee for General Jackson—there didn't many call him Stonewall then—to march his troops thru the town to seize Harper's Ferry, we felt something in our bones. He came by way of that creek." "Not past Mrs. Fitchie's house?" "No!m, just this side of it. We were all on the stoop watching for Mr. Jackson, who we had heard always rode with a Bible under his arm. There was a good deal of delay along the road, because, you know, ma'am, they waited for the commissary. The Confederate band was playin' down at the drug store, and it was Hill, D. H. Hill, there were two in this corps—who sent for the musicians to serenade Mrs. Quantrill and us girls. He had reined his horse alongside of us and we were all cutting up. "All this time Mrs. Quantrill had a little Union flag in her hands. It the rule when an army comes through, a town that only the flag of the army is shown, so I reckon hers was about the only one flying. Mrs. Fitchie was a very old lady and was sick in bed that day." "But didn't anybody protest about it?" "Well, Mr. Hill said, "Madam, you ought to take that flag of yours and make an apron of it," but quick as a flash she came back, "You ought to take yours, sir, and make breeches out of it." They were terribly ragged that corps. "Then Hill rode on, and no sooner and he gone than one of the privates gettin' into line, grabbed it with his bayonet and used some language that wasn't very nice. Mrs. Quantrillie was as perky as you please. She made a fuss about it, and said the man ought to be arrested for rudeness to a lady. So one of the officers rode on ahead and said he'd see to it. Southern gentlemen were very particular about language before a lady. I don't suppose anything was ever done, because there was a good deal to think about just before a battle. "But Mrs. Quantrillie said, 'Girls have any of you got a flag?' We used to all carry Union flags in the bosom of our basques, and May went into the hall and took hers out. So by the time General Jackson came along she was having one again. He never said a word that I can remember, and we were all so excited bowin' to this that we had to laugh afterward, because we forgot to look for his Bible. Yesam we did. "It was the other Hill of Jackson's division—I always call him the Hill on the cream colored horse—who brought up the rear. And he said to Mrs. Quan trille, "You ought to be shot for wavy in' that flag." His pistol was out of his holster, but he didn't shoot her. And Mrs. Quantrille, who always had the last word, said, "You'll be the one to be shot." It seemed a kind of a prophecy for he was killed. But then a good many was. And after that another soldier, encouraged by what Hill said, reckon, cut the second flag out of her hand and tramped on it. So if the poet had got it right, he'd have had two flags torn down. "So that, I said, 'is the story of Barbara Fritchie.'" "Yessum. They say people who write just naturally can't tell the truth—exercise me." 2424 2124—This is a good model for combinations of material.ingham and organdie, voile and lawn, foulard and crepe could be used.

About eight years ago a father his son began to work upon an idea that had occurred to the elder man during working hours in the mailing division of the Chicago postoffice. A short time ago the result of their joint effort was put in operation. It is a package tying machine that does the work of many men. So convenient is the little contrivance that it has been introduced into the New York postoffice too, and the government now is negotiating with the inventors for more of their machines. The inventors are Romanzo N. Bunn and his son, Benjamin H. Bunn. For years the men have been tying up bundles of outgoing letters for transportation to the trains. Fast as the men worked, it always seemed Bunn thought it should be done faster. His son worked on the mechanical side of the problem. Together father and son toiled in a home-made shop at their home on the little portable "yer" that came out of the basement workshop. The machine is about three feet high and about a foot square. It begins operation after the mail has been distributed in the racks by hand ready for tying to go to the trains. Then the machine is rolled along the line of pigeon holes and fed by hand, by its retainer. Packs of letters four inches thick are placed into position, the machine is set in motion and then—click, click, clop! That's the way it sounds. The first two clicks indicate the tying of the packet of letters, sidewise and then lengthwise, and the "clop" the dropping of the bundle into a waiting basket. Where the best men used to tie five or six packets in a minute the machine now ties thirty—and it has not tried for a record yet! GROTTO 787 FEET LONG. Giant Cave in Austria Probably is Greatest in World. The immense cavern bearing the name of Giant Grotto is situated near Trieste, Austria, and is said to be the largest known to exist. It consists of one vast chamber 757 feet long, 433 feet broad and 452 feet high. There are three entrances, two in the roof and one at the edge of the roof, which has recently been provided with ladders with steps, so that visitors can safely descend into the grotto. Once on the bottom, progress is easy. The cavern contains remarkable groups of stalactites some of gigantic size and others of bizarre shapes. The tallest stalactite has a length of a little more than thirty-nine feet. The bottom of the grotto is 525 feet below the surface of the ground forming the top of the roof, which in turn is about 1,580 feet above sea level.—Tit Bits. LIGHTED SAFETY LAMPS. Illuminated Signals Are Placed in the Mines Ever since the establishment of the bureau of mines the government has labored unceasingly to make the industry a safer one for its thousands of workers. It is now recommending that operators erect electric "safety first" signs in their mines in order that the men may be given a constant reminder of the necessity of exercising care and avoiding unnecessary danger. It is consistent with human nature that men continually facing danger grow fearless of it and therefore frequently lax in their observance of precaution. It is because of this that the "safety first" sign has a valuable psychological effect. Many mine owners, it is reported, have responded to the government's suggestion.—Popular Mechanics. HOW TO FIREPROOF CLOTHES. Demonstrated By Doctor at Recent Safety Exposition. At the safety exposition held in New York recently Dr. Charles Fredrick Pabst demonstrated how to make fireproof clothing. He poured from one pound to a gallon of cold water in a solution of ammonium phosphate. Then he took an eight-inch strip of ordinary cotton gauze and dipped it in the ammonium phosphate solution. He dried it with an electric fan and held it in a flame for thirty seconds, but it did not burn. He took another strip of gauze that had not been treated with the solution, and on igniting it it burned in four seconds. He advised that the whole family washing should be made fireproof. The expense for an average-size family would be about 15 cents a week. MACHINE THAT REMEMBERS Sounds Warning That Time Has Arrived to Keep Appointment. A machine which will remember the date and hour of an appointment made several weeks previous is one of the latest efficiency devices to be placed on the market. A roll of paper strip passes over a flat surface where the appointment is indicated and a punch mark made in the margin. When that time occurs a gong is sounded and a reference to the strip will give the information as to what appointment is to be kept. What is believed to be the largest conveyor belt in the world, 893 feet long by 36 inches wide, has been made for an Ohio stone quarry.
