Says Foe Can't Get Within 10 Miles of Coast
K. intern and western coasts are being mi carefully guarded that "an enemy ship under ordinary conditions could not get within 10 miles of Khore according to Wintville Wood, a noted inventor and scientist of Chicago, who addressed the members of the liotary club at the hotel Oliver last night. The I". S. radio stations through recent inventions would be able to wreck any steel vessel coming within 10 miles of the coasts, lie said. Hostile submarines or battleships could he blown to pieces by a Hash from any of Ln le Sam's many wireless stations along the Atlantic
coast. Vast steel nets will not be necessary to keep out imders. One Mash by an operator will do the work. Wood is noted chiefly f :r his experiments with t lie Cyroscope. Twenty-fa e years ago he was connected with Thomas IMison and introduced the brst phone graph on the l'aeiti'- coast. I-ater he began experimenting with violet ray? as a earner cure and his most recent achievement of note was his perfection of the gyroscope for aeroplane usage. He holds the distinction of being the tirst and only "aerial postmaster" in the United States. The position is an honorable one. U. plains Violet Ua. Ily illustrations Wood explained to the Ilotarians how the violet rays are playing an important part in the development of science. He demonstrated a ray extractor, made silhouette pictures by use of his powerful machine and predicted that before many years "this eartli will have stored-uj) day light." A wall
paper, he as;-ertcd is now being- made which store up the rays of s'ir.light to be used instead of ens or electric light. Regarding the war situation Wood explained hew it was possible for a wireless operator to Mash destruction to a steel vessel lu miles away. An extracted ray, he sa!d can be carried through the vibrations of the air to the stored-up energy of metal in a steel clad ship. Should there be explosives in the vessel it is ine itable that an explosion must followas soon as tbe ray reaches it, llalancr-s Aeroplane. Three years ago Wood was employed by the United States government to im-tall gyroscopes in aeroplanes. This instrument balances monoplanes as well as biplanes and has proved of great service to the aviators in 1'urope during the present war. The United States army according to Wood, by means of a recent invention can send up airships unmanned carrying hundred." of bombs. A wireless operator five
or ten miles away can safely eondu-. eery movement of the aeropl ir. Should the craft be attacked by the enemy there would be no loss of lifexcept of course for the enemy. .Previous to professor Wood's talk and demonstration the Hotarians voted a resolution of congratuation tr the Havana. Cuba. Kotary club for its recent action in urging the Cuban government to declare war on Germany.

Iloys In the fourth grade at St. Patrick's .school regret that they are no, big enough or old enough to join the army, while the boys of the third grade of the same institution want the world to know that they are true citizens. "'My Country' is the title of a poem we learned this week," says the school editor of the fourth grade of St. Patrick's school. "We like the poem very much, but we love our country better and our only regret is that we are not big enough or old enough to enlist, now that so many men are needed, but we will pray daily that C.od may bless and direct Pres't V'ilron and congress during this great warfare." The third grade editor writes: "There is no flag so beautiful as our own red. white and blue. We are only little boys, but we want everybody to know we are true citizens and now we have decorated our room with the colors that we love."
