INVENTORS STUDY
U BOAT PROBLEM
Thousands of Solutions Of
fered to U. S. Navy
Department
Washington, D. C.—Thousands of
schemes have been offered the Navy
Department to circumvent the Ger
man U-boat, according to a state
ment authorized by Secretary Dan
iels. • Since the declaration of war,
the statement says, 40,000 different
plans have been laid before tne
Navy Department, plans or models
:ir ingenious devices representative
of the thought and inventive talent
of the country. The statement au
thorized by Secretary Daniels fol
lows:
"A wide range of citizens have
thus contributed, from the country's
distinguished natural scientists and
inventors who are almost constant
ly at work for the Government, to
the obscure plowboy whose imagina
tion has quickened to the Idea of
meeting the emergency and has
fashioned a mechanism from wire
tind spools and a whittled stick as a
token of his devotion.
"All of the suggestions submitted
have received careful consideration,
and those of merit have been
brought to the attention of the Sec
retary of the Navy. * Those ideas In
volving new principles, indicating
careful thought and study and sub
mitted in concrete form, have been
presented to the Secretary of the
Navy with full argument. Many
proposals have been found to be
impracticable, largely due to the
failure of the inventors properly to
inform themselves of certain funda
mental principles. However, much
valuable aid has been given to vari
ous branches of the war service. The
naval consulting board and the Navy
Department have prepared and ere
giving free distribution to pamph
lets which give general information
to inventors that they may avoid act
ing upon misconceptions as to
fundamental principles, with conse
quent waste of effort. •
"The predominating thought of
inventors has turned on methods to
combat the menace of the enemy
submarine, and more than two
thirds of all the suggestions re
reived by the naval consulting board
have concerned this problem. The
thought on submarine defense may
lie subdivided as follows:
"First, methods to accomplish ihe
destruction of submarines, involving
detection and destruction after de
tection.
"Second, means of avoiding sub-'
marine attack, involving instructions
lor merchant vessels, proper hand
ling of vessels, camouflage, smoke
screens and boxes and other confi
dential information known to our
naval authorities.
"Third, protection of ships against
torpedo hits."
Course of Stream Turned
to Complete Aerodrome
London, Nov. 16.—The opening!
this week of a large new aerodrome j
at Hanworth Park, near London,
marks the completion of an engi-!
neering work which involved the de
flection underground for a distance 1
of nearly a mile, of the Wolsey Rtv- !
er. The stream intersected tlie field j
selected for the main landing ground I
of the aerodrome and impeded the j
landing of aircraft there. To remove ;
this defect, the engineers construct- j
ed a conduit, capable of carrying 27,- j
000,000 gallons of water daily, into j
fewhich the stream has now 'v on di
verted, and its bed leveled to give j
an unbroken Hat surface for the aer- j
odrome. The size of the conduit j
was such that before the river was I
diverted fifty soldiers marched up-1
right through the underground way. ■
AUSTRIA NOT OFFERED
PEACE, SAYS ENGLAND
Amsterdam, Holland. —The Ger
man Center organ reports that the
Emperor Karl has publicly utated
that French and British statesmen;
have offered Austria handsome com- 1
pensations, several times during the
war, if she would make a separate
peace.
The Emperor asserted that these
efforts undoubtedly had had consid
erable effect upon certain nationali
ties .and parties in Austria-Hungary.
But, he added, the Hapsburg and
Hohenzollern houses were more
closely united than ever and the
Venetian offensive offered a good
lesson as to what their peace policy
should be.

Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives
People who suffer from sour stom- j
ach, fermentation of food, distress [
after eating and indigestion, and sefk !
relief in large chunks of artificial di- j
gestors. are killing their stomachs by 1
inaction just as surely as the victim j
of morphine is deadening and injur- i
ing beyond repair every nerve in his I
body.
What the stomach of every sufferer j
from indigestion needs is a good pre- |
scription that will build up his stom- '
ach, put strength, energy and elas
ticity into it, and make it sturdy
enough to digest a hearty meal with
out) artificial aid.
The best prescription for indiges
tion ever written is sold by druggists
everywhere and by H. C. Kennedy and
is rigidly guaranteed to build up the j
stomach, and cure indigestion or
money back.
This prescription is named Mi-o-na, j
and is sold in small tablet form in
large boxes, for only a few cepts. Re
member the name, Mi-o-na stomach
tablets. They never fail.—Advertise

Ola grow, Nov. 16.—There Is a
great rush for whisky In this town
