The naval consulting hoard was created in 1915, with Thomas A. Edison at its head. The announcement of its creation resulted in an avalanche of plans, charts, diagrams and models which kept growing in volume and variety until more than 100,000 suggestions for inventions, completed inventions and proposals for the utilization of existing devices in new ways had been received, classified, card indexed, examined and passed upon. Eighty per cent of them were devoted to putting the Ger man U-boats out of business. The submarine early gripped the American imagination, and stimulated the inventive spirit of the most ingenious people in the world. I remember, one Monday morning in 1917, finding Admiral William Strother Smith, who had charge of this work with the consulting board, gazing in something like consternation at three huge sacks of mail con-, taining about 2.0UO letters and packages. e were literally besieged by- geniuses of every variety, enthusias tic persistent, ami each ot them con vinccd that the adoption of his plan device would bring the war to a victorious end within a few weeks. 'e dared not turn any' of them away tlie first time, since no one could tell until some inquiry had been made whether the most unlikely look ing person might not have a really worth-while proposal to offer. But once the impossible crank and the impractical theorist were discovered and labeled in the mind, of the de partment, steps were taken to pre vent their wasting precious time of "busy officials by renewed visitations. Idea Worth Millions. As 1 was discussingdepartment business with a bureau ehief one day. the telephone rang, and a clerk said "long distance" was calling. He did not catch the namely clearly, but thought tt was Mr. Ford. I found in a moment that it was not the famous Detroit automobile maker, for the man at the other end of the line began talking a blue streak, starting out with the declaration: "I've invented a thing that will wipe out the submarine; I've got something that positively will end the war." , Me seemed quite excited about it. I asked him what it was. He said he could not tell me over the phone, or intrust the secret to mails or tele graph. "Send it to our inventions board," I suggested. "Not on jour life!" he replied. "They might steal it, and I'd never r,ct the credit for it. It's worth mil lions, millions!" He said he would never show i. t j but three people the president, Mr. Edison and myself; and all three must give the pledge of secrecy. "There's not a moment to be lost, and I want to bring it to Washing ion myself," he exclaimed; "but I iiuist.be careful. If the Germans knew I had this, their spies would murder me." Wire $5,000 at Once. "All right, bring it'on.'T remarked. "Send me $5,000 by telegraph this afternoon, and I'll start tomorrow," he demanded. Accustomed as I was to queer propositions this did rather, ftartlc me. "No, no," I replied em phatically; "I can't do -that." "Do you mean to say" he seemed to be surprised "that you won't send me a measly little $5,000 when the thing I have is worth millions, and will end the war?" "That's correct." I said, rather sharply, I fear; "we will not send anybody a dollar of government money until we know whit it is for." "Well, that's the smallest piece of business I ever heard of," hi snapped. "I thought you were some secretary and now 1 believe all the means things the newspapers have said about you." One of my office aids figured ou: that this irate citizen had spent about S20 in telephone tolls." We never heard from him again and the in vention that would end the war was lost to the world. . The "Porcupine Boat." The police who guarded the por tals of the state, war and navy build ing stopped at the entrance a tall, lean man who was lugging a box as big as two suitcases. They ordered -him to open it, and found inside a contrivance that looked as if it might go off at any moment.. He wanted to see somebody in the navy depart ment, an one of my aids went down to investigate. The fellow did not look like a spy or a plotter, and the navy man asked him what his con traption was. - "It's a 'porcupine boat,' " he said; "a boat that'll keep off them torpe does the submarines are firin'." It was a model of a boat, its wood en sides thickly studded with long pikes. ; "What's the idea?" he was asked. - "Well, you see, the torpedoes can't ink a ship unless they hit her," he explained, "and if you put these fonsr spikes all along the side, they tong :atft net to her. The. spikes will ttop em; the torpedoes are stucic before they hit the boat and there rou are." It was a great idea; certainly no sne else had thought of it But as me spikes would have to be about 50 feet long to hold off the torpe ioes and each ship would have to have three or four thousand of them, ne could not very well adopt the 'mention. Wrap Ship in Cotton. A southern inventor brought forth plan that would have thrilled the tunny south with joy if it could save been adopted. This was to iheathe all ships with an armor of v.hick cotton batting. He evidently Sot his inspiration from the battle f New Orleans, where doughty old Andrew Jackson erected a barricade :f cotton bales which the British shells could not penetrate. So a century later this Jacksonian fig ured that a ship swathed in cotton would be immune from shell or tor pedoes. The Germans could fire way, and do no more harm than if they were throwing r6cks at a mattress. Any new use for cotton in unlim ited quantities naturally appealed to me. as I come from a cotton-raising section, but unfortunately the naval txpertt seemed to have their doubts about the efficacy of cotton-batting armor, preferring to stick to steel. There were a lot of inventions, of course, and even some of those that were not practicable embodied ideas -that were worth considering, thougn i we never did succeed in building a j ronsinkable ship, the-thought given j to the subject and the experiments made were not without their value. Increasing the buoyancy of vessels is one of the things that all naval constructors are studying, and we believe that ours have made as much progress in this direction as those of any other country. Protection Against Torpedoes. Our capital ships are being built so that one torpedo will not di-able them, and it might take two or three to sink them. This method may, in time, be -adapted to transports and all large vessels used in war service. The development of devices for de tecting submarines; of the radio compass, which tells a ship its posi tion at sea; of the nonricochct shell, which is not deflected when it hits the water; of small cannon for aero planes; of star shells that are a great aid in night-firing, throwing a blaze of light over enemy vessels while not revealing the positions of our own ships these are only a few of the inventions that came out of the war. Beginning as a crude affair carrying 50 pounds of explosive, the depth charge was developed into a huge bomb, carrying 600 pounds of TNT, timed to explode at any depth a reliable weapon that was the terror of the U-boats. The paravane, an English inven tion, proved of the greatest value in protecting ships from mines. Like two huge wings spread out in the water, it picked upnnines, and its wires bore them away from the ships where they could be exploded without danger to the vessel. Mines played a big part in naval warfare. The Germans sowed the seas with them, and if the allied mine-sweepers had not been so energetic and skill ful in removing them, they might have been as destructive to shipping as the U-boats were. I he new nima our navy developed in 1917 was re garded as decidedly superior to any oi its predecessors, and this was the type used in the North sea mine barrage, 80 per cent of which was composed of American mines, laid by American vessels. Detect Approach of "Sub." At last, after considerable experi ment, American genius devised a "listening" apparatus that would disclose the presence of a submarine miles away, if- it was in motion. It enabled the operators, by the sound of .the propellers and other noises, to tell whether the ship heard was a liner, a warship, or a "sub." This was the most efficient device of tlv; kind perfected during the war, and was adopted by other nations. Better guns for airplanes was a vital need. Our ordnance officers vastly improved the machine guns in use. .But for anti-submarine war fare we needed a large caliber gun with sufficient power to penetrate the hull plating of the U-boat, and the Davis nonrecoil gun was pro duced. This is a radical departure from previous types, the barrel be ing open at both ends, and loaded at the center by rotating half of the barrel around an offset axis. The projectile leaves the front barrel in the usual way, while a ADVERTISEMENT MRS. CANE GOULD HARDLY BREATHE, SHE DECLARES Cedar Rapids Woman in Ter rible Health Before Tanlac Restored Her Year Ago Still Feels Fine. "It has been just about ' a year now since I first took Tanlac and I have been one of its most faithful friends ever since," was the state ment made recently by Mrs. Bert .Cane of 522 Seventh avenue, West Cedar Rapids. "Before I got Tanlac I had been rapidly going down in health for several months. I had no appetite, and what I ate caused me to suffer with indigestion. I was chronically bilious, my tongue was coated and I had a bad taste in my mouth near ly all the time. I had a sour stom ach, and was so bloated I could hardly breathe. My nerves were so frayed I couldn't even stand the children playing about the house and at night my sleep was restless and broken. "However, when I started taking Tanlac my appetite picked up, and I was soon improving in every way. Five bottles of the medicine have done away with all my troubles, even that chronic case of biliousness, and I'm now feeling as well as I ever did in my life. I'm just as proud of my splendid health as a child is of a new toy, and I can't praise Tanlac enough." Skin Troubles Soothed With Cuticura ?B,Ofahwt.Tlmi, ge.iai,aUsi a.

There were also many improvements in wireless tel egraphy, one of the most interest ing of these being the radio com pass, by means of which the posi tion of ships at sea could be deter mined. This was so successful that submarines made little use of their wireless near shore, fearing to dis close their location. So many new devices were de veloped that it would take pages to tell of them all, and though thous ands of the suggestions made were impracticable, not a few were of de cided value, and the result of war development as a whole- was fresh proof of the never-failing inventive ness and genius of Americans.

The Rock Island had a hard-luck tale to relate today to the state board of equalization. The story may cost the state of Nebraska taxation on $5,000,000 in property. The Rock Island asks a reduction of that amount in its taxable property this year. The valuation of the Rock Island holdings in Nebraska, established by the state board of equalization last year, was $11,461,250. This year the road suggests a valuation of $6,873,250 on its Nebraska property, in a report submitted" to the board. The report shows that its valua tion is no more than that amount. Next week the board will receive vaulation reports from the three big roads operating in the state, Burlington. Union Pacific and Chi cago & Northwestern. 0 o a a a o Q o in o D o 0 a 0 a o; D: 2i u: D: o: 95 a o D D NO. 1 Vol.s 136,000 62.000 32,000 22,000 468,000 NO. 2 Votes 76,000 62,000 32,000 ............ . 12,000 284,600 Alfred Bonlcwalter, Pawnee City... .18.18 u i arner, KOCKrord s 000 Mrs. C. ).
