MERCANTILE PERISCOPES MADE IN DOZEN STYLES PERISCOPES MADE IN DOZEN STYLES 'EYES FOR UNDERWATER BOAT CONSTRUCTED ON MANY PRINCIPLES' Submarine Outlook Can View Horizon 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 completely. 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 tries the observer's eye very quickly. Binocular periscopes have been attempted, but luminosity is lost by gaining the advantage of stereoptic vision. The specialised 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 preeding periscopes 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 panorama 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 90 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.

THE CONFERENCE OF THE UNION OF THE STATES OF AMERICA, AT THE MUSEUM OF THE ARTS, WASHINGTON, D.C. DENIES OUR TROOPS HAVE "MOST DANGEROUS" STATIONS McAFEE'S ORCHESTRA MEMBERS OF THE GREAT RACE CONFERENCE We give above a group portrait of the great race conference held in the new Interior Department (government) building at Washington, D. C., last week Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The conference was the greatest thing of the kind ever held in this country by our leading men. The editor of The Gazette is immediately back of the two men standing behind the shorter of the two French majors (war commissioners to this country) on each side of Emmett J. Scott, special assistant. DENIES OUR TROOP "MOST DANGER" Washington, D. 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 "command 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 general's caiburgh, which was in reply one of the 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. The following are the losses as reported up to 18 in the four combatant regiments now in France: 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; severely wounded, none. These figures show conclusively that Negro troops have not thus far occupied positions, as dangerous as those occupied by white 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 Cod, Deming, New Mexico, travelling on train and transportation furnished by the government, was on a boat Force of a Pullnag or by the train conductor at Texarkana, on the border 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, "Noop Force to a Pullnag or Buy War Savings Stamps" and called his attention to the loyal co-operation 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 company high degree of efficiency among these troops. The 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. "Colored troops in trenches have been, particularly fortunate, as one regiment had been there a month before any losses were suffered. This was most unharmed 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 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 too, highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." BENEWS FOR TWO YEARS.

DELAYING GOVERNMENT WORK As The Result of Misleave Race Discrimination—Attention, Mr. Charles Ots! Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—The American Ball Bearling Plant of The Standard Parts Co., of this city, is making, exclusively, munitions for our government-which is fighting for "democracy." 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 when those of color apply for some of the better positions they are capable of filling, they are given the common labor to do when a 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 "all 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 man was seen reported to the manager and different officers 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 "wet" 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. The auction sale and concert, given by Mrs. J. J. Arnold's team, in the basement of the church, for the benefit of the organ fund of St. Andrews P. E. church, was a splendid success. The program was very pleasing; Mr. Raymond Smith, several琴款 meetings; Mrs. Isaelle Austin, dramatic readings; Mr. Anne L. Tubbe, tube auctioneer; Mrs. Robert Martin, auctioneer; Mrs. Arnold, Dunbar selections, and Mrs. Spencer, reading. Refreshments were served and at 11 p. m, all were en route home. The U. S. employment service of the Department of Labor, to which has been assigned full control of labor recruiting during the war, is responsible for foreign service at $2,000 a year. The service also has openings for typists, accountants, conductors, brakemen, firemen and machinists and for men with experience in organizing chauntauques. Apply for any of these positions at the service of the service. 1410 Pennsylvania Ave., N. W., Washington, D. C. IN-UNION IS STRONG SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS amland" Fred A. Moore, New York Age; W. H.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF When the world war is over, it wiff 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. Against "Jim Crow" Car Laws. Washington, D.

Although the protein of the grain sorghum has been shown by dietitic experiments of the Office of Home Economics of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to be less digestible than that of corn or wheat, all of the sorghum except kaolin furnish a fairly good source of protein and, practically as good a source of carbohydrates as the two grains in most general use. The Department specialists, therefore, and the grain sorghum worthy of use in all sections to give variety to the diet, have so successfully grown, it is pointed out, the grain sorghum may contribute materially to the supply of substances suitable as human food. Tests were made with Kafir, fetemia, milo and kaolang, both in the form o bread and as mush. Check tests were made also with corn and wheat as breads. All six of the grains were ground into meals of the same fineness in the same mill. In the experiments with the breads, the average digestibility of the protein of the wheat was found to be 77.3 per cent; corn, 59.9; Kafir, 51.2; fetemia, 50.9; milo, 49; and kaolang, 18.8 In the experiments with the breads from meals of the four grain sorghums, the digestibility of the protein was about 48 per cent for fetemia and kafir, approximately 34 per cent for milo, and only 4 per cent for kaolang. The digestibility of the carbohydrates was high for all six grains, ranging from 95.3 to 98.6 per cent. The results of the investigations as a whole indicate that while it is hea- to use some wheat flour to make up for the lack of gluten in the sorghum meal, a fairly large proportion of the meal may be satisfactorily used in a mixture with wheat flour in the preparation of common foods. In preparing the grain sorghums for food it is important to make certain of the absorption of water in such quantities that the particles of meal, which are characteristically hard or finely, may be well softened. Dwarf kafir, dwarf milo, and feterita will pop like popcorn. The dwarf kafir pops more completely than the other grains, however, and produces a more palatable product. American by Device Greatly Increases Output of Product "To Gordon McKay, an American, the world owes much credit for the invention of a machine to make shoes. Herbs greatly increasing the output materially decreasing the expense of their production. In a great measure the responsibility for this machine is due to the energy of Lyman K. Blake who conceived the idea of a machine to sew the uppers of shoes to the soles, but it was McKay who financed and improved the machine to all practical purposes, and it became known as the McKay sewing machine. "The first of the McKay manchines were introduced into the factory of William Porter & Sons, Lynn, Mass. in 1861 and were run by foot power. This invention, probably more than any other, is responsible for revolutionizing the manufacture of shoes." Mr. Blake. In 1855 placed on exhibition his shoe sewing machine with a stationary horn attached. Mr. McKay saw that with a few improvements it could be used to splendid advantage, and in 1850 he purposed it. While Blake's machine operated well on parts of the work it failed in stitching the heels and toes. A sand box for automobiles, like the familiar device on locomotives, to distribute sand under their tires to prevent skidding, has been patented by a Massachusetts inventor.

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, Louie Closer Hale tells the story of Bar bara Fitchie as it was told to her recently at Frederick. Her version shat together 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 raidin' 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 brother in the front yard, and they were Rebs. But they never hurt women, neither side." "No, nobody ever hurt women in those days, raid 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 gentleman smiled at each other." "This ain't tellin' her about the flag, insinuated the husband." "No, 'tain't. Daughter, run up and get that picture of Mrs. Quantille. You know, ma'ma, 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 thir 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'ma, they waited for the commissary. The Confederate hand was playin' down at the drums store, and it was Hill, D. H. Hill there were two in this corps—who sent for the musicians to sorenate Mrs. Quantille and us girls. He had reined his horse alongside of us and we were all cutting up. "All this time Mrs. Quantille 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. Fritchie 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 had he gone than one of the private gettin' into line, grabbed it with his bayonet and used some language that wasn't very nice. Mrs. Quantrille was as perky as you please. She made a russ 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 be fore 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 saving one again. He never said a word that I can remember, and we were all so excited bowin' to bliss that we had to laugh afterward, because we forgot to look for his Bible. Yessum, 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 Ms. Quantrillie, "You ought to be shot for way in that flag." His pistol was out of his holster, but he didn't shoot her. And Mrs. Quantrillie, who always had the fast 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 solider, encouraged by what Hill said, reckon, cut the second flag out of her hand and tramped on it. So let the pot sad got it right, he'd have had two flasks 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—excuse me." 2424 2124—This is a good model for combinations of material.

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 of working 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 Romano Z. Nunn, and his son, Benjamin H. Nunn. 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. If 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 tie of pigeon holes and fed by hand, by his 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 lie 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 797 feet long, 423 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 stalacites some of gigantic size and others of bizarre shapes. The tallest stalacite 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 it 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 Frederick 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 gauge 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. Sounde Warning That Time Has Arrived at Keez Appointment Five 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 converter-belt in the world, 893 feet long by 26 inches wide, has been made for an Ohio stone quarry.
