POWDER WITH NO FLASH PERFECTED BY U ARMIES Troops Will Be Protected in Night Battle—Enemy Can’t Locate Guns. WASHINGTON, June 26. —Successful development of anew powder for use in small arms and artillery, which possesses all the driving power of the type now in use and at the same time is smokeless, flashless and Impervious to moisture, has been announced by the War Department. “The new powder may be exposed indefinitely to any atmosphere saturated with moisture,” the department’s announcement said. “During tests It has been completely submerged In water without any absorbed moisture being found.” Aids Night Firing. In its power to drive bullets or projectiles the new explosive is understood to be the equal of powder now in use. It was developed for use in the 76 mm. guns, but is now being applied also in tests for heavier artillery and will be adapted for rifles and machine guns. Work has been in progress for years ro produce a fiashless powder that in night firing the same Invisibility might be accomplished for troops as was made possible In daylight operations when smokeless powder was developed to replace the old black powder. Difficult to Find With the new powder enemy marksmen will be unable to locate American machine guns or rifles by the flare from the muzzles. During the war the skyline above the artillery when a bombardment was in progress blazed with light from the continuous flash of the guns and glare was visible for miles, markin a general way the artillery With the new powder it is exthat only the rumble of the 1 that the atmosphere nf i Venus confab'-. less of the amount 'present in the earth's at-

COUNTY ADVISED TO SUE FOR COST OF KEYSTONE RD. Two Commissioners Favor Plan to Protect Taxpayers, Marion County should sue the S. M. Timberlake Construction Company, builders of the Keystone Ave. county road, for $119,000, the full contract price, County Attorney Emsley W. Johnson today advised county commissioners, because the road “is not satisfactory.” Commissioners Albert Hoffman, Republican, and John Kitley, Democrat, approved the plan. “We will not make a formal order today, as Tutewiler is not here,” they said. Tutewiler Is the third commissioner. Monday he said he thought the board should have accepted Timberlake's proposal to repair the road, which included a clause that such action would relieve the company of further claims. “We have got to do something to show these contractors that they can't take public money and get away with delivering a road like this,” said Johnson. The county attorney said he had read the testimony given at the hearing held last spring by the commissioners to determine where the fault for the break-up of the cement road, which was built in 1920. “All the witnesses were hostile, Including John J. Griffith, the county engineer, former county commissioners, and William Weaver, representative of the Portland Cement Association,” he said.

HI JOHNSON FIGURES ON NOMINATION By Times Special WASHINGTON, June 26. —Is there national political significance In Hiram Johnson’s change of plans, by which he is remaining six weeks longer in Europe than he originally Intended? Enemies of the distinguished Californian have always charged him with the loss of California in the Hughes-Wilson campaign of 1916 and the consequent election of Wilson. Today it seems not at all impossible that another California disturbance may sweep on the Republican National Convention next year and land the nomination for Hiram. In the first place, things are in bad mess politically in Hiram’s State. In the State wide fight between the public utility corporations and people, the new Governor, Friend Richardson, has lined up squarely with the corporations and they have won hands down. Now, you will note the greatest handshaker and long or short distance jollier at large, viz: President Warren G. Harding of the United States of America, is now touring the northwestern part of this country, and after an inspection of Alaska, will proceed down the highways of California on a speechmaking, handshaking tour, finally sailing from San Diego for Panama on or about Aug. 4.

TRUTHFOROEDBY DOSEOFSERUM You Can’t Tell a Lie and Get Away With It, Doctors Told, By United Nev>s SAN FRANCISCO, June 28. Where courts’ attorneys, penitentiar les and prisons have failed to check the ever-growing increase In crime, medical science has stepped in to make the world unsafe for crooks to live in. This was the assertion of Dr. R. E. House. Ferris, Tex., made at the opening session of the American Medical Association convention. Anew anaesthic ministered to the suspected criminal forces him to tell the truth, as the anesthetic, for the time being, makes that part of the brain which would urge caution and lying go to sleep, said House. The "truth serum,” called scopolamin, has no after effects and serves its purpose equally well in freeing a man wrongly convicted of a crime and In convicting a man who pleads innocence when guilty. The truth simply will out, according to Dr. House. Revolution in criminal procedure was predicted by Dr. House, who said that criminals would he robbed of their ancient defense —perjury on the witness stand—ls- given scopolamln. Dr. House has tested his serum on a number of men in Texas. VENIREMEN EXCUSED IN ‘WHIPPING BOSS’ TRIAL Twenty-nln© Give Excuses and Are Dropped From Jury.

VALUE OF EDISON’S GENIUS IS PUT AT FIFTEENBILLIONS Long List of Industries Are Founded Upon His Inventions, NEW YORK, June 26.—There Is one human brain that has a hard cash market value today in the business and industrial world, of $15,000,000,000. Billions is correct, not millions. That is within 20 per cent of equaling the value of all the gold dug from the mines of the earth since America was discovered. The brain is that of Thomas Alva Edison, who many a time has said to his cronies, “Well, if worse comes to worst, I’ve got a good trade. I can always make $275 a month as an expert telegraph operator, and I can live comfortably on that.” The $15,000,000,000 represents the present investment In America alone In industries which are entirely based on the Inventions of Edison, or which have been materially stimulated by his inventions. Several of the country’s largest industries are included. Here is the list, and it touches only the high spots. It shows either the capital or the total Investment, according to the latest dependable estimates: Moving pictures $1,250,000,000 Telephones 1,000.000,000 Electric railways 6,500,000,000 Electric lighting and power... 6.000.000,000 Electrical supplies 857,000,000 Fixtures 37,000,000 Phonographs 105,000,000 Electric car shops 109.000,000 Dynamos and motors 100,000.000 Edison storage batteries 5.000.000 Cement 271.000,000 Telegraph 350,000,000 Wireless telegraph. 15,000,000 The total Is $16,599,000,000 G. 0.

SAVING SOULS IS CALLED HIGHEST FORDAIITION DETROIT, June 26.—“ You haven’t written the greatest story on Mr. Ford that can be written yet,” said a preacher friend to me. “What is the story?” I asked him. “It is the story of his salvaging system. Look it up. It will startle you. In his institution he saves everything from sweeping to souls.” I asked Henry Ford about it. “Yes, we try to save everything,” he said. “Our floor sweepings alone save us over $600,000 a year in brass, iron and left overs.” I knew Mr. Ford’s instinct for salvaging. I think he gets it from the same place that he gets his sense of cleanliness; from his Dutch mother. I should say that cleanliness and economy are his two mam characteristics. A "Four-In-One” Plan One of the most fascinating illustrations lof ihis salvaging systems that I have found Is a bridge at Flat Rock. This bridge serves four purposes, I talked with the Ford people about it and they told me the story. "We were building a power plant at Flat Rock. Our D. T. & I. Railroad needed a bridge at that point. “We also needed a highway. So we thought it would be a good Idea to make that power plant and dam Into a railroad and bridge and a highway, so there it Is.” I went out to Flat Rock to see this unusual “four-ln-one.” I visited the paper mill at the Rouge plant and they were dumping waste paper into vats, and at one end of the mill turning this waste out as great boxes of pasteboard used to ship parts in. Mr. Ford has the usual by-products of coal as a part of his great salvaging system. Salvages Many Souls He said to me one day: "The time will soon come when every great manufacturing institution in America will be a service center for the town where It is located. It will turn its coal into coke and sell that coke to the city at cost. It will make its own gas.” “But the fascinating part of your salvaging system Is your method of salvaging human beings, Mr. Ford.” “Well, I think human beings are more worth saving than floor sweepings,” he said. The Henpy Ford Hospital Is a concrete expression of this spirit of salvaging human beings that is In Mr. Ford’s soul. Up t* date he has put about $12,000,000 into this enterprise. The Henry Ford trade school is a typical human salvaging plant from Its top to its bottom. The boys In this school, most of them, are boys who come from the streets. Deer are doing much damage In New Zealand; there are estimated to be 300,000, all of which came from 111 Imported between 1861 and 1909. Os 145,000 employed boys In New York State, 30 per cent, had left school at 14 or earlier.

NEW SERUM MAY DEVELOP CURES FOR RHEUMATISM Nearly 80 Per Cent of 5,000 Cases Have Shown Improvements. NEW YORK, June 26.—N0 more pain and no more cripples because of rheumatism are a possibility of the future, judging from the results obtained in the last four years from an entirely new method of treatment of the disease at the clinic of New York University Medical School, First Ave. and Twenty-Sixth St. This treatment consists of a series of serum injections administered twice a week. More than five thousand cases hajg been handled with 80 per cent proved to a point just this what can be terms as a positive according to a statement from tH school recently. Many of the jfm tlents, however, have reached point of calling It a cure because tti* no longer suffer pain and the coifl ditions which hindered or prevented their movements have entirely disapr peared. Small Amounts The serum used is a graduated series of strepticoccus vii-dans, which the doctors In the clinic acknowledge to be the underlying cause of rheumatism. A small amount of the serum Is used at the beginning and gradually built up to a comparatively huge dose. At least twenty treatments are administered and the immediate results are astonishing in some cases. One man who' was brought to the clinc recently could not walk a step, and he hopped off the floor with both feet. This Improvement followed four doses of the serum. The doctors In charge of the clinic regard his reaction as an unusually quick one and due to his particular body acceptance of the serum. Other patients show an equally great improvement, but after a longer period of treatment. From 100 to 110 patients are treated on Monday and Friday afternoons. The patients vary from young men and women in their early twenties to those who are well past the half century mark. Chronic Cases Treated Chronic sufferers from rheumatism, or “multiple infection arthritis,” as medical science calls the disease, have heretofore received various kinds of treatment, ranging from baking the affected part and many forms of massage to the home remedy of rubbing with snake oil. The latter was still is credited with magic powers in backwoods sections of the country. Another interesting case at the clinic is that of a man who has recovered from an almost complete paralysis. Before coming to the clinic he was unable to turn over in bed and suffered such constant pain that he had not slept for more than an hour at a time for more than three months. Friends brought him to the clinic in a wheel chair for his first treatment and now after twelve weeks he is to all appearances a perfectly normal person. He has returned to his work.
