Walville, O—The A, M, E. e Church, Rev. Mason, pastor; celebrated the 200th anniversary, Sunday, of our people's coming to this country. The city hall, auditorium was well filled to hear Major W. T. Anderson, retired U. S. army chaplain, from Cleveland, who was the speaker of the evening. His subject, "Man to Man" was most appropriate and "aby discussed." Rev. Anderson in foreign countries, having had the exceptional experience of standing near the banks of the river Nile in Africa. His description of the gallant charge up San Juan bill in Cuba (during the Spanish-American War) of the gallant 10 cavalry, and of the medal he received for "service," made each one who heard him glad he was of our race and appreciate his giving speech for us. The evening passed all too quickly. Rev. Woodson and Hogans of East Liverpool, and the choir took a prominent part in the ex- Major W. T. Anderson. circles of the evening.—Mr. and Mrs. John Bassett had as guest, Sunday, their nephew and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Station of Pittsburgh.

It was web filled. On one side of the side was a vacant seat by another colored lady who was on the train when I got on at Cleveland. One of the two ladies sat down by her. The other sat beside a sailor (white) right accross the aisle. He jumped up, went around and in an unpleasant voice said: "You can have all of it." The colored lady hesitated a minute and said: "Thank you." Of course every one noticed it. He then sat down back of them in a seat with a white woman. Eudell Williams of Pittsburgh and his father, Edward Williams of Marietta, accompanied by Walter Williams of this city, another son, called On The Gazette, last Thursday afternoon.

MANAGING EDITOR HOPWOOD! The ever-watchful Dr. W. S. Biggs sent us another letter, recently, enclosing a clipping from the Cleveland Plain Dealer which contained a picture of a "Made in America Christmas toy," labeled "Alabama Coon," and wrote: "This is an opportune time to fight such indecentness; and it is time to have done great work 'over there.' Let them (the Plain Dealer) hear from 'The Old Reliable Gazette.' A better way in this particular instance, Doctor, is to take up the matter quietly with Mr. Eric C. Hopwood, one of, if not the fairest and best managing editor in this department, and ways found him such, and have had a number of occasions of one kind and another to learn this. Wake up that local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., doctor—if you can! We have attended to this matter, (as usual). My dear Mr. Smith: Thank you for passing on to me the letter from Dr. W. S. Biggs. I have already taken up the matter of which he complains with our Sunday Department, and I am quite sure that he will have no occasion for a repetition of his complaint. I think you understand that in a paper we as many complaints with the movies or less repeated shifting of the staff which the war necessitated, these things will occasionally happen. The best we can do is to keep overlastingly on the job, and I always appreciate your calling anything of this sort to my attention. I know you appreciate the fact that our principle is absolutely square dealing with every color, race and creed. With best wishes for a Happy New Year. I am sure. Very truly yours. ERIE C. HOFWOOD Managing Editor. The Cleveland Plain Dealer. ELECTED ENROLLING CLERK Washington C. H. I., Q.-Sanford W.

Gallipolis, O.—The strike of Gallipolis, High school students, which started, last week Tuesday, when our pupils from the "jim-crow" high school were admitted into the other High school, quieted down somewhat today, our pupils failing to appear at the school. A GRIEVOUS MISTAKES. Our pupils had previously denied admission and the paucity was tried in the common pleas court, which held that ALL children, white and colored, living within the zone fixed by the board of education, had a right to attend the high school in that zone. Our people living within the zone very properly took advantage of this decision and started their children in High school. We KEEP THEM THERE regardless of the few white students that walked out or others. The controversy will be taken before the court of appeals, which must, under the law, uphold the lower court's decision because it is in accord with the best. Ohio law and the evidence in the case. The school authorities are trying to abide by the decision of the courts and will succeed, undoubtedly. Mrs. Mary B. Lewis of Detroit called on The Gazette and Mrs. Robert B. Hodges, Tuesday. She was on route home from a holiday visit in Ravenna with her son and her parents. Mrs. Thos. Johnson, E. 86th St. royally entertained, last week Friday evening, in honor of Miss Katherine Blackburn, missionary; who has spent many years in Africa. The following were guests: Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1919. SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1916. You can often tell a man by the paper he takes. Ohio contributed more men to the war in proportion to population than any other state. Congressman Steenerson of Minnesota, said a truth with force when he declared that "embezzlement of power given in war was worse than profit-creing." The Gazette would call the attention of our play-writers and others to the advertisement of Frank E. Dixon, elsewhere in this paper. It is their opportunity! Senator Owen of Oklahoma has introduced a resolution making November 11, Democracy Day. The first available date for the party, the senator belongs to, is calendared February 30. "A kiss of a sensuous woman," said Senator Sherman, in a recent debate, "has been known to change the history of nations." And then the mean old geezer stopped right there and we will never know the rest of the story. There is no longer need for automatic methods. The war is over. Impachment proceedings against some officer who does things without warrant of law would bring arbitrariness to a normal basis in twenty-four hours. Theodore Roosevelt was a great figure in American life, but was not a GREAT MAN! He proved this when he failed to return to the army that "discharged without honor Black Battalion," after it was proven innocent of the crime charged against it. "Now, lemme get this here thing right about them fourteen positions of the president," says Uncle Bi Heck. "Was it fourteen positions on one subject or was it fourteen positions on different subjects? That's what I want to understand." _____ Demobilization of the army will go on like clock work. The real problem is the demobilization of the Washington job-holders. If all the safety first clerks are thrown out at once the free soup lines that will have to be formed will reach to Spokane and last till spring. The veracious press reports state that the conclusion of the president's recent message was greeted with the "rebel yell." Why not? For almost six years the north and its resources have been a golden cornucopia into which the hands of the south have been dipping without either executive restraint or reproof. It looks like we will have to go to war with Canada or at least deny her membership in the League of Nations. Here comes the Toronto Mail and Empire and says: "President Wilson is not more likely to instruct and inform those men (heads of the Entente) than they are to instruct and inform him. Their experience in the matters in hand is greater than his." When George Washington said anything, when Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, U. S. Grant or Grover Cleveland said anything, all the world knew what it meant at once and forever. They had either clarity of thought, candor of statement, or sincerity of purpose that made their utterances simplicity itself. As the editor of The Gazette was passing alcing Central Ave., last week Wednesday evening, an exited "Negro" rushed up to him and in a "carping" way and with evident satisfaction, said: "Mr. Smith, I see The Birth of a Nation' is being advertised on the billboard to show at Haltnorth's theater." Just why any "Negro" would extract apparent satisfaction over the return of the infamous photoplay is not clear unless he was one of those who opposed it, last year, failed to accomplish results, and was "sore" (like others) because the editor of The Gazette succeeded in November last in having it barred from the state on Oct. 1, '18. Is it any wonder our people make so little progress along many lines when they produce so many such? Really, it would be amusing were it not so serious. Major Gen. Charles G. Ballou was finally removed from the command of the 92d Division (in France) but not because of his insulting letter-order to our men of that unit while they were in training in Iowa before going "over there." Major General Ballou aroused high indignation and much resentment on the part of our people when he issued the bulletin which in substance ordered the men of his command to refrain from entering public places where their presence was likely to precipitate race animosity, stating also that white men made the division and could break it. The War Department, controlled by southerners as it is, would not for obvious reasons depose Ballou for issuing such an order or "bulletin." The American representatives at the peace conference at the close of the Revolutionary War included Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. The American representatives sent to Paris in 1793 to iron out our troubles with France were John Marshall, Elbridge Gerry and Charles Cotesworth Pinkney. The American representatives to make peace after the war of 1812 were men like John Quincy Adams, James A. Bayard and Henry Clay. The American representatives to the peace commission after the Spanish-American War of 1898 were William R. Day, Cushman K. Davis, William P. Frye, George Gray and Whitelaw Reid. These were great and distinguished men in their day and the government utilized them because their remarkable talents had made them great and distinguished. There are many great and distinguished men in America today whose talents, ability, service and experience pointed to them as the fit and representative men to serve America at the coming peace conference. But their names are not listed in President Wilson's representatives. Why? GOING AND COMING. That peculiar characteristic of President Wilson's mind which enables it so often to meet itself coming back while going somewhere is again illustrated, this time by the railroad situation. The railroads so blithely taken over are to be relinquished or unrelinquished as opportuneness may seem best to indicate. It reminds one of the old story: It was the eve of battle. An Irish regiment that was going to the charge was being harragued by an officer, "Min," he said, "yez are on the verge of battle, and I ask yez, will yez bring glory on the ould rigiment, or will yez bring shame to it and run?" "We will!" came the deafening chorus. "Yez will what?" "We will not?" "I thought yez wud," said the well pleased officer. "Every approach to this difficult subject matter of decision (government relations to the railroads) brings us face to face, therefore," said President Wilson in his message to congress, "with this unanswerable question: What is it that we should do with the railroads in the interest of the public and in fairness to the owners?" Let me say at once that I have no answer ready." And congress laughed. THE "DANCE" PROGRAM In the Argonne Forest, France—A Sample of a Machine Gunner's New York City — Secretary Benj. Seldon of the Y. M. C. A., with our A. E. F. in France, writes that "our boys were right at the front when the last gun was fired. Some of our troops are still on the line doing occupation duty. Our boys have done their bit at three fronts — Vosges, Verdun and Argonne — where we lost so many, and Metz. The units of the 92d Division, which are not on the quarters, counters I little towns near Metz. Think I shall main with the stewed boys until they leave." Incidentally Mr. Seldon says: "You can't beat the Afro-American for humor. Here is a sample from one of the runners of the 351st Machine Gun Battalion, who is in Capt. Dickey's company." It reads as follows: **Real Humor.** The Allies' picnic, in the Argonne Land, every night, in No Man's Land. Face Program—1. Trench toot. 2. Dugout glide. 3. Shell-hole flop. 4. Gas mask hug. 5.

J., impresses me as being one of our brave soldiers who will be a credit to the race and the country as well after the war as in it. He has had charge lately of 750 cases in the War Risk Bureau. He knows just how serious—and even appalling—the problems are; yet he keeps his sense of humor and his temper. I want to see "bout my 'lotment,' said an applicant to him the other day. "How long have you been in the army?" "Three months." "How long have you been married?" "Six years." "Where does your wife live?" "My real wife lives at this address. But my wife I got now lives at this other address." What would you do in a case like that? "One man who was sure he was let- ter perfect in the part halted a lieu- tenant. "Who goes there?" "Leutenant Breckenridge, his wife, their infant daughter and one dog, was the answer. "The sentry was equal to the occasion. "The leutenant will advance and be recognized, he said, sternly: 'His wife will stand at parade rest. The baby will mark time. The dog—about face and carry it on!' "Who's dat? exclaimed another sentry, startled at night. "I'm the officer of the day?" "Officer of de day? What de debbil you'all doin' out heath at night, den?" Here is one for which Sergeant Shockley is not responsible: A doughboy who had neglected to provide himself with the requisite pass tried to get by the sentry to go to town. The second time when he was challenged for his identity he replied, "Same man," and was again turned back. The third time he did not answer immediately, but sat down on a convenient stone by the roadway and began to sharpen a razor on one of his canvas leggings. Then he said slowly, as if talking to himself: "My father is in hell; my mother is in heaven; my wife lives on Lombard street. I use goin' to see one of 'em tonight." Additional Locals Mrs. Jas, Kelly of Youngstown died Dec. 24. Heart failure. She had suffered, several months. Three daughters, Mesdames Harvin Erwin, Sandy Duff and Ella Ash, a large number of grandchildren and other relatives survive her.

Chief Smith appointed "Charley" a detective, which rank enables him to draw a lieutenant's salary."

The once famous Webster's spelling book, commonly known in its days as the "Blue Back Speller," a pioneer work played no small part in molding the thought and morals of a generation about ready to be laid upon the shelf. Now a member of the Alabama legislature has arisen with a motion to restore to the public schools of his state this most worthy publication. That the suggestion will meet with pronounced favor among all who know aught of the contents of this revered book may be safely asservered in advance. That the particular neck of the woods in which the prohibition movement is at present particularly rampant will find no deterent influences in its pages may equally be promised. That legislators themselves will fare altogether as well is somewhat doubtful. A slight analysis of its import and compass, in the light of modern conditions, may not be out of place in this connection. To begin with the old "Blue Back" probably is the most moral book of profane origin ever issued. As a monument of orthographic rectitude it stands so straight that it leans backward. From "a-b, ab," to the closing list of polysyllables, there is an unbroken vain of righteous instruction, with ever and anon a story to lend dramatic interest to words whose meanings are invariably related to freefrazable proclivity and conduct. It is true the speller says scarcely anything positive about prohibition. But it says more good things for temperance than any prohibitionist ever did in the whole course of his exhortations. Right in the middle of the tiniest words the young pup encounters the one syllable injunction that "He must not drink a dram." From this he proceeds to the more mature reflection that "There is a near intimacy between drunkenness, poverty and rum"; which, however, is promptly varied by the apparently unrelated, yet altogether praiseworthy sentiment of "I love the young lady that shows me how to read." And here comes the half effects of all instruction, for Andrew Johnson loved the young lady who taught him how to read after he was a grown man, yet (a sad world, this!) was also fond of apple brandy, or at least so they say. But getting down to legislators—if this be the proper way to put it—the first hint on the subject is that "God is the divine legislator." Again as though reventing to a once cherished but since lost estate of such august and deliberative bodies, we have, "The senate originally signified a council of elders; or men, before their minds were corrupted, committed the public concerns to men of experience!" Curious to say, in the vicinity of this solitum consideration appears an aggregation of such omnious words as "acrimonious," "inexpedient," "circumambient," "insignificant," "indictual," "disingenuous," "dictatorial" and "deleterious." Is this mere chance or resides therein some subtle signification, or when the apple peel throws over the head curls of itself into the beloved initial? We'll let the legislators answer. Over against these, however and by way of preventing a possible misinterpretation, are a few sentences which it is assumed the electorate body had previously taken to heart: "The people should choose the best and wisest men for their legislators." "It is the duty of every good man to inspect the moral conduct of the man who is offered as a legislator," and "if the people wish for good laws they may have them by selecting good men." But once more rushes a whole passel of flies into the ointment, for immediately follows "sinuosity," "insincerity," "mediocrity," "volubility" and "imbecility." CUTTING SEED POTATOES. New Machine Does Away With Te dious Labor's To do away with the tedious work of cutting potatoes for planting, a Maine inventor has brought out a machine that cuts two potatoes at a time into four pieces each, and does this work with a rapidity that depends only on the speed at which the operating wheel is turned. The potatoes are placed in a bin at the top of the machine. Opening from the base of the bin are two chutes that lead down to the two cutting devices, each of which consists of two intersecting vertical blades and a plunger. When the plunger rises one potato is automatically released into each chute and rolls down to a position on top of the intersecting blades—Popular Mechanics. A complete telephone transmitter which folds into a watch case has been invented to relieve a person of using public instruments. Pride makes some people ridicu lous and prevents others from becoming so. INTERESTING NEW INVENTIONS William B. Gage, a telegraph operator of Columbia, Mo., has invented what he calls a "wait-on-yourself" table. It is a ball-bearing, revolving affair, turning whenever one of the guests desires. As Gage explains it, when a dinner wants the mustard he simply whirls the table around until the mustard is "fernist" him. How the other diners keep track of their own meals during the whirling process is not explained, but Gage had a carpenter build one of the tables for him; and it is in operation now in his home, where he says it is giving satisfaction. An electrical machine has been invented to reset pins in bowling alleys. The new electrical pin boy will rest the pins in a fraction of a second. An electric motor, controlled by magnets, does the work. A camera small enough to be swallowed to photograph the interior of the stomach has been invented by a Danish surgeon. A recently patented stairway for reaching seldom used portions of buildings folds into a ceiling and is hidden by a panel when not in use. Unbreakable telephone mouthpieces and receivers are being made of steel around which the rubber insulator is forced through under high pressure. A lunch pail with a lamp in the bottom by which the contents can be heated has been patented by a Pennsylvania inventor. Two Oregon inventors have patented a garment for cold weather wear that includes coat, hood, mittens and slippers, all of which are filled with electric wires supplied with current from a storage battery to warm the wearer. To guide a key to a keyhole in the dark there has been patented a V-shaped strip of metal to be fastened to a door, with the point surrounding the hole. A new dustpan that a woman has patented has the handle on one side, and in front a guard plate over which the dust is brushed into a pocket section. A ladder consisting of a single rod, bent to form hand and foot holds, has recently been invented by a New York man. For the blind there has been invented a watch with the hours marked by raised dots and dashes that can be read by the sense of touch. The tines of a recently invented fork are diamond shaped, instead of flat. The inventor claims that this fork can be much more easily cleaned. A phonograph is built into a new alarm clock to awaken a sleeper by playing his favorite tune instead of ringing a bell. After a wild duck has been shot at several times it becomes suspicious. If it doubts the genuleness of ducks floating on the water it will fly away. The latest kind of decoy is one which gives forth a lifelike quack at regular intervals and also swims around slowly. This is so cleverly done that it is said the wisest duck "falls for it." Both the "quack" and the propulsion of the dummy duck are operated by a clockwork motor inside the decoy. To answer the demand for a cheap and serviceable sled for youngsters, one made of wire has recently been brought out. To make a sled of wood requires considerable material of rather high grade, and it must be painted and varnished, which adds to the cost. A sled made of wrought iron or steel is heavy, which is undesirable. The sled of wire offers lightness and economy and is strong. To insure the owner of a private shaving cup kept in a barber shop that he is the only user there has been invented a paper cap to cover it, which can not be removed without breaking a seal. A Kansas man has invented a knife that will cut grapes four or five times as fast as the ordinary kind. A griddle hinged in the center is a recent invention. It is so made that it may be turned over to bake a cake on both sides. A resident of Roscoe, N. Y., has invented what he claims is a puncture-proof automobile tire and is said to have recently refused $100,000 for the patent. The inventor is firm in the belief that he has solved the tire problem and that his discovery will eventually make him a millionaire. A resident of Belvidere, Ill., has patented a new apparatus for filing saws. The teeth of the saws are "set" by a blow delivered by an automatic hammer, which is so arranged as to be operated by the foot of the operator, leaving both hands free to handle the saw. The device is attached to the side of a barn or shed. A portable metal roof, made in sections, has been patented by a Kansas man for protecting hay stacks from rain. A Texas inventor's hair drying brush that is heated by electricity is provided with a scheme to prevent it burning the scalp. To avoid the use of towels in public places, there has been invented a device in which a person's hands are dried with a current of electrically heated air. TRUTH SPOKEN IN JEST Ever notice that the people who are willing to share their last dollar with you never have a dollar? Vanity makes a cheap chromo feel like an oil painting. The one man in the world who thoroughly believes in hero worship is the hero. The best thing out is being out of debt. Playing cards are said to have been invented in 1390 to divert Charles IV. then hing of France, who had fallen into melancholy mood. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 11, 1919. UNION STATION SIZE DOES NOT ALWAYS COUNT There Have Been Many Men of Small "You can't tell by the look of a frog how far he can jump." That old and crude philosophy is as applicable to men as to frogs. A story in the Star recently told of the arrival at the Union Station of four men, three of them alert, well dressed, impressive looking. The fourth wore a battered old gabardine, frayed at the buttonholes. His manner was timid and retiring. In size he was insignificant. He was a little-great man, Dr. Chas. H. Mayo, one of the greatest surgeons the world has ever known. John B. Gough, the great platform orator, used to tell a story about himself, how he arrived late at a hall in Glasgow, where he was to speak. The place was packed. He could not get in. To the crowd wedgeed into the front entrance he told that he must get in, he was Gough, the speaker. They looked at him, he was an undersized man, and laughed. They imagined that Gough, the great orator, must be a tall man. He went to a side window, hoping to be able to crowd in there. It was already jammed full, and they, too laughed when he told them he was John B. Gough. Finally he went to a rear door and told the man on guard there that he was Gough. "Yes, five or six other men have already told me that," the watchman said. Gough gave him a shilling to pass him in to the stage and after the lecture the doorkeeper went to him and said: "Well, Gough, you're like a singed cat; better than you look." Many men who do great things are small in stature and insignificant looking. Nearly all of them would pass unnoticed in a crowd. Gen. Sir John French, Field Marshal in command of the British forces in France, "the incomparable Ney" of the British Army, is described by Herbert Corey as "short and squat in stature, a ludicrous figure on horseback, and not at all the sort of man in appearance one expects a cavalry leader to be." And he is "quiet and unassuming." They are all—all the men who do great things. Lloyd-George, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, one of the great men of England, is described as follows in Collier's Weekly: "A short, stocky man, about the size of LaFollette, there was nothing distinguished in his appearance." He is known as "the little Welsh lawyer." This is the New UNION STATION To Be Built Facing the Public Square Lord Roberts, a great general, was known as "Little Bobs." Grant was short and stocky. Lord Nelson "the greatest sea fighter the world has ever seen," was undersized and delicate. Napoleon was "the Little Corporal." Stephen A. Douglas was "the little Giant." Harriman and Jay Gould, wizards of railway finance, were undersized. So is John D. Rockefeller. The list might be extended to columns, disproving the popular belief that for a man to be a genius he must be big; but still the world will keep on believing it—Kansas City Star. Missouri Farmers Would Like to Gentry, Mo.—"How long does the average crow live?" is a question that is now being considered by farmers of this vicinity. The discussion of this question has been brought about by a statement of a well known farmer Willard Eriksen, living west of town, who declares that he has a crow on his farm that is 18 years old. Of course, there have always been crowns—so long as the oldest gettins can remember. But the swarms of black feathered creatures which yearly infest the corn fields the same ones that were here last year—or year before last? Or are the crowns like the corn, a new crop? As a rule they are all as alike as two peas and the farmers are not friendly enough toward them to care about their ages. Eightteen years ago this summer Ericson shot a crow in the leg, wounding it badly. For some reason he did not try to kill it, and be noticed it frequently as it hopped about his premises while its wound was healing. The crow recovered and could easily be told from other crowns, by a peculiar limp in its walk. As it was not mo-lested it continued to stay about the place and became quite tame. Year after year it stayed, and the old crow became as much of a farm fixture as the old family horse. Sometimes it would disappear for days and weeks, but eventually it came back to its old hounds. Three years ago the crow flew away and did not come back, in a short time as had been its custom. As time passed it was given up as gone for good. It was quite a surprise when a few days ago, the old crow was seen limping about as usual, apparently well pleased to be back home. There is no doubt but that it is the same crow that was wounded eighteen years ago. How old it was then—who can say? HELPFUL HINTS FOR MOTORISTS A Temporary Patch A very servicable blow-out patch that will take you safely home may be made out of the tape. Clean the fabric around the blow-out with gasoline and apply strips of tape, first lengthways and then crossways, until the hole is well covered. Then cover the tape with a thickness of cloth to keep the inner tube from sticking and the patch is complete. Wire for Connections The vibration of an automobile make it necessary that wire used for electric connections should be composed of a number of fine flexible strands and this cable be covered with moisture-proof insulation. Special wire for this purpose is furnished by the trade, but for emergency work the ordinary double electric light extension cable will do very well. Emphatic Tire Points The more air a tire contains the less it will heat up in service. Over-infraction causes injurious vibration of the whole car. Under-infraction hastens breakdown, but gives easy riding Heavy cars wear the treads down rap idly, light cars the sides. Drive wheels wear the tires one-fifth faster than front tires. There is no certain mileage in any fire. It's the driver's care that counts. Casing Repairs Time is one of the essential factors in doing a good repair job on a tire casing. Several vulcanizations, one over the other will make a better wearing patch, allowing plenty of time beween them. Common gasoline now contains some grease and a higher grade should be used for cleaning the rubber. The casing should be left on the demountable rim and fully pumped up when vulcanized. "Pounding" If "pounding" is regular and continuous it is likely to be from lost motion in bearings. If irregular and occasional, it is more likely to be due to preignition from incandescent carbon or from imperfect electrical connections. If it is accompanied with an occasional miss, especially if the missing is more frequent when the car is running than when the engine is running idle, it is more apt to be imperfect electric connections. A Convenience A piece of canvas 18 inches square is a good "carry-along." It saves the knees when you have to get down with (out) a prayer on your lips to reach some inaccessible part. It will keep the jack from slipping on ice, snow or wet surfaces. It will keep the inner tube from getting in the mud or dust when inserting one along the road. It will answer to strain the gasoline, keep the tools from rattling, for protection in handling hot parts and will make an inside blow-out patch that will do very well. NEW ALARM AND CALL SYSTEM Californian's Invention Made Espe cially for Hotels A fire alarm and call system, in invented by G. M. Homan, of Ookdale, Cal., is intended especially for hotels. The system is arranged so that if an occupant of a room wishes to be called at any hour, say at 4 a.m., he inserts the plug at that hour on the clock diary in his room. Then when the hour hand of the clock in the office passes over 4 o'clock the circuit closes and the buzzer rings in his room for twenty-five minutes, or until he gets up and pulls the plug. The same action takes place in every other room where the same hour has been plugged. When the call is made in the room the drop on the annunciator board operates and the clerk, after replacing same, makes a note on the register that such a room has received a call, so that no complaint can be brought in. Fire alarm switches with a red light to designate them are located in various places in the halls, so that in case a fire is discovered the closing of the switch will notify the clerk on which floor the fire is located by means of a bell and a light. He in turn rings a bell and turns on a light in each room by screwing down an luminum ring on the clock until a contact is made on the dial. If the clock is high on the wall the switch is used. Hence all occupants can be notified at once. Elevator is Big Cost. Elevator or vertical travel for the average multistory factory, floor to floor, is seldom over fifteen feet, yet in traversing that distance, together with starting, stopping and with the same loading and unloading time, we can ravel in the same time an equivalent distance of 100 feet horizontally. One factory manager, of an inquiring turn of mind, estimated in his particular plant that the cost of elevator service, wages of operator, power, repairs and time consumed by men using the elevators, amounted to about 2 per cent of his payroll.—Engineering Magazine. In an electric gun invented in England, which seems to be successful, a projectile is hurled through a tube by the action of electric magnets on the outside. Combines Resilience, Lightness and Durability; Resists Fire. A new kind of flooring for office buildings, kitchens, lobbies, elevators and wherever constant use calls for a floor especially easy to walk on is known as "cork composition," and is, as the name implies, a composition in which 50 per cent of the component parts has been replaced by chipped cork. This new flooring has come into general use because it ranks high in the qualities of fire resistance, resilience, lightness, quietness, nonslippiness and durability. It can be laid directly on concrete, metal or wooden foundations. It does not absorb dirt and dust and is nearly as light in weight as a pure cork flooring, weighing less than two pounds to the square foot in the finished floor. WIRELESS SYSTEM GROWS Nearly Circles Globe; War Prevents Circuit Completion The opening of the Japanese Marconi wireless plant at Funabashi, near Yokohama, with messages to the Marconi station at Kokyo head, Hawaii, extended the Marconi service nearly two thirds the way around the globe. If the war had not interfered with the creation of the British imperial chain, it might have been possible by this time says, the Boston Transcript, to relay a message by wireless all the way around the world The first message from the new station in Japan was received in New York. It traveled in the air 2,353 miles from Japan to Hawaii and then 2,097 miles from Hawaii to San Francisco. A station at Petrograd is now in constant communication with the Marconi plant at Carnavron, Wales. From Clifden, Ireland, messages are sent across the Atlantic to Cape Glace. The new plant at Belmar, N. J., has sent messages across the United States to the station on Bolinas bay, a few miles from San Francisco, although the Marconi company uses wire communication in its transcontinental service. "So your cook left you without any warning." "Yes, and without any spoons." Electric light signals powerful enough to be seen in the day time are being adopted by several electric railroads in preference to samaphores, as they save the expense of motor driven mechanism. To make a baby enjoy his bath, a cork doll that bobs around on the water while he splashes has been invented by a New Jersey woman.
