The momentum started by our Price Adjustment Sale is gaining hcudvvay rapidly. We announce that this sale is extremely
successful from the view point of volume of merchandise sold to date.
Our judgment has been vindicated. The "Something Needed" to start the buying public to purchase their winter needs wss
LOW PRICES.
This was verified by the prompt response to our Price Adjustment Sale, made without regard to cost. Hundreds have been here
and supplied their needs and realizing that hundreds have not been able to leave their homes, such are yet given an opportunity.
We have answered the call of the public for lower prices and "MEET THE CONDITIONS OF TODAY."
This stare is brimful of offerings of most seasonable, durable, worth while in every way, merchandise that you need which
will more than satisfy you and please us to clear our own decks.

Tho part American Ingenuity play
ed in winning tho war is disclosed in
a history of the Naval Consulting
Board of tho United States, mado pub-1
lie by Secretary Daniels today
Tho volumo reveals achievements '
which, If projected a decado ugp, I
iprobably vould have been ridiculed '
as "Visionary." Chief among theso I
was a dovlco by which the launch-j
ing of a torpedo could be heard on j
shlpbonrd 4,000 yards away or fur-1
ther than a torpedo can bo effectively I
launched from a submarine.
This' invention was but ono of a
sc iro or more contributed by Tlios.
A. Edison, president of tho board.
I Mi. Edison appears to hayo "been
tho moving spirit of tho boarjl. Fpr,T
j salting his laboratories -at the out;
I break of tho war, ho practically bc
I came a naval officer. Ho spent most
,of his time in tho m vy department of
fices and took long deep sea cruises
that Ito in'ght be in closer touch with
: tho i.roblenis to .bo solved.
Ills "Listening Device."
I ecause of tho Gorman suliiiiaiino
menace, fihip protection claimed tho
most of tho altontlon of tho board To
this problem Mr. Edison devoted bis
traditional twenty-hour working
days, and after overcoming many ob
stacles t'nally perfected his listening
dovlco.
This contrivance was In tho form of
an outriggor suspended from the bow
sprit of a vessol and containing an
Immense phonograph dinphragm. By
means of compensators, the noise of
the vessel's engines was obliterated,,
th. i making ilt possible for tho device
to work perfectly oven when tho ship
was plowing at full speed through
thy roughest seas.
With this dovlco boats moving 1700
yards away could bo readily heard
while tho vessol was going at full
speed, A submarino boll five and
one-half miles awny could also bo
heard whtlo a big storm wns In pro
gress and tho boat also proceeding
at full speed.
Having learned that tolephono sys
tems on ships woro not very rollablo,
Mr. Edison devised ono that was. Ho
discarded,' microphones and substi
tuted tho receiving phono for a trans
mitter. Tho signals being weak ho
amplified with an audion, which made
tho signals so loud as to bo painful
to tho oar.
Mr. Edison also Invented an ex
tension laddor which could bo at
tached to tho top of the mast and give
an observor a location 87 foot above
tho top of tho mast. This dovlco In
creased tho area of observation
Other wartimo inventions by Mr.
Edison wero a eartrldgo for taking
soundings; n convoy light visible to
all tho vossols In tho convoy, but
Invlslblo from tho docks of a subma
rino; an underwater searchlight cap
ablo of throwing rays 200 feet; a pro
jectile that would ontor tho water
from an nnglo Instead of rlchochot
ing; a stnbllzor for submorgod sub
marines, and a tlmo fuao to cause
shrapnol to burst only six foot above
tho ground.
Ho dovlsod a mask to protect ob
servers on tho tops of masts from
smokestack gas, a turblno for pro
jectiles which onnblod tho Inttor to
bo tl rod from smooth boro gang and
still have rotation and accuracy; drew
up plans for mining Zcebruggo Har
bor, and developed a method by which
communicating signals between war
ships could bo sent by means of mirrors.
