Pontoons, and st the same time wieldly to give & substantial torpedo deck seem to be the prime At e - % requisites of this machine. The tor- pedoplane embodies the ideal fighting facilities of small sea craft in that it is able to approach its target free from the dangers of‘mine or torpedo. Its approach can be more stealthy than even the undersea-boat. It can choose its landing place and there get in its deadly work almost before de- tection s possible. At least these are the claims made for it by military experts. Because of the construc- tlon of its platform from which the torpedo, s fired it can be made much steadier than the (lestroyers, those 1light vessels that are subject to every variation of the sea and which tend to make shell-firing inaccurate. ! Admiral Fiske filed the plans of his invention with the United States gov- ernment four years ago. Drawings of the seaplane that made the attack on the Gena hdve beem received at Wash- ington and, according to those wha have inspected these plans, they are identical with those prepared by the American naval officer. Especially is this so in Tegard to the placing of the pontoons, the torbedo carrying device and the discharging apparatus. The German craft is, to all intents and purposes, a .duplicatc of thae American invention. We shall prob- ably read in the near future where the torpedoplane has been used against some American battleship. Thus do Americans allow their inven- tions to go all over the world, be per- ‘fected by every race on earth, while America sits back and looks on. It has been so with nearly all the great inventions of the warld. They origin- ate here. They are perfected abroad, It is time we carried our plans all the way through. HIGH HEELS AND WAR, High heels on women's shoes have oVt een a source of contention. It was inevitable that they, the high heels, showtd be at last’ brought into the war discussion. Out in the gpod old .state of Illinois' one intrepid statesman rises to assert that high heels, if anything, will be the cause of America losing its war against So a member of the legis- lature in that state has proposed that the high heel be legislated out of ‘business. He cites the case against the high heels fn this way. Flat feet are. the cause of many volunteers' be- ing rejected who might otherwise be acceptable. What can we blame flat feet upon? Why high heel shoes, of course. Not that the volunteers ever wore high heel shoes; but their moth- ers did. Their grandmothers = wore Bigh ‘heet shoes, and high heel shoes | are bad, very bad, for the feet. Gen- eration after generation of high heel shoe wearers have had bad feet, and finally bad feet have become hered- itary. 80 the gentleman from IlN- nois says the high heels.must go, they must come down. * “‘There is the case against the high heel shoe. There are few points missed. The argument is almost complete. The. logic is not very faulty, if we are inclined to helieve at all in heredity. Mothers who wear | high heels on their shoes naturally have defective feet. The high heels sfe to that. It follows then that their children must follow in the samse path with bad feet. The male off- spring of mothers who wear high heels must be possessed with bad feet. ‘When the country calls for men these candidates for the Army or the Navy are rejected. Bad ‘feet, again. Cause? High heels. It sounds rea- sonable, but the St. Louis Republic combats the theory in grand fashion with a little common horse sense. There is one point that this estimable purveyor of news and views would like to have cleared up. “For ages and ages,” it says, ‘“horses’ hqofs have been trimmed and nails have been driven into them; but, so far as Wwe are aware, no colt' was ever born with his hoofs trimmed and nail holes ready for the blacksmith.” THE GOLDEN HARVEST. From Texas to Canada is a long way, especially “through the great wheat fields of the nation; but that is the march of the reapers. They are on their way now. From the Lone Star state comes word that the wheat crop is soon to be harvested. The reapers are at their task in Northern Texas, Soon they will go across to Oklahoma and then on up through Kansas, through the real wheat belt, and ‘on to the Canadian line. The crop this year in Texas, which is not Buch a great grower of wheat as other States, will approach the eighteen million bushel mark,—six million more bushels than were harvested last year in that state. That is good news. For, if other states follow the lead of Texas we may expect a fall in the price of hread. We have been told many times, that the wheat crop of the mation will be far short of its average bulk, But Oklahoma promises more than thirty million bushels, and Kansas will add twice if not three times as much more to the ~ NEW flm'rm; DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JUNE rvest to feed not only our own peuple but the people of the world. ‘With plenty of rain in the wheat belt it begirs to look as if the magic wand of Nature will bring forth the desired results. “Farm, Finance, or Fight is Billy Sunday’s alliterative war slogan.

Otherwise. To the Editor of the Herald:— When the “Silent Officer,”” was placed at the corner' of East Main and Stanley streets, it was for in- struction, as well as a guide, for mo- tor vehicles of all kinds, and not for an ornament. i There is a certain class of péople that have no respect for the law, and don’t care, for God, Man or the Devil, so long as they can accomplish their intentions, and escape the arms of the law. This same class of people delight in speeding their machine (motorcycles especially) at a rate of 40 or 50 miles an hour regardless of the lives of pedestrians, that. are continually pouring over the crosswalks, at ail times of the day and evening. There is another class of joyriders, that believe in ‘Safety First,’ as well ae giving due respect to the law, by following the inscription that is plain- ly visibly on the ‘“danger signal.” This silent officer has been felled to mother earth several times, by these reckless drivers, that never stop to ascertain the amount of damage done, if any, but continue speeding, until they ‘come in sight of a policeman, when they slow up, in order to avoid any trouble, that might occur in the hereafter. This speeding is an every day oo- currence, while Sunday is the banner day of them all. " Automobiles and motor vehicles, of all kinds, are passing and repassing this corner at all hours of the day and night, and many fail in giving warning by not blowing their signal of warning. Occasionally an automoblle comesx to grief by a head-on collision in failing to comply with the inscription on the “danger signal’” . Seeing is beleving, and being a resident on this corner, we can vouch for the truth of it, verbatim literature. ‘Would it not be a good idea for one of the blue coats to pay this corner an occasional visit on a Sunday? If a few of these law breakers were arrested and given a long sentence at the Syms street hotel in Hartford, it would be a lesson long to be remem- bered by them, besides being a warn- ing to many others that persist in breaking the speed laws of the Hard- ware City. .

PATRIOTIC FEighteen Employes Rally When Uncle Sam Blows Call for Loan of Money. Joseph R. Andrews of Andrews, Swift & Co., has sent word to the home office in Chicago, that the local establishment has attained a hundred per cent. record as far as subsorip- tions for the “Liberty Loa: is con- cerned. The Chicago office recently an- nounced that bonds would be sold on the installment plan and even went a step farther—allowing the men four per cent. interest on their deposits. It is believed Swift & Co. is the only large concern in the country making cuch a tempting offer to its employes. “Who is gping to subscribe to the ‘Liberty Loan?’” Mr. Andrews asked the eighteen employes of the local branch, after explaining Swift & Co.’s plan. “I am,” answered eighteen voices. “All |{employes take ‘Litberty Bonds,’” Mr. Andrews wired Chica- &0. Swift & Co. is spending a small fortune dfsseminating pamphlets among its thousands of employes urging them to subscribe to the loan. In addition, the company is be- hind an active propaganda for the planting of foodstuffs and economy in the use of food. Among other suggestions it recommends that the old-fshioned market baskets be dust- ed off and brought into use by house- ‘wives who may perhaps secure bet- ter rates by paying personal atten- tion to their shopping. Regarding planting, the concern has issued pam- phlets by the thousand containing professional instructions when, how and what to plant to boom the na- tion’s food crop. The Pathati+ Partisan.

Perhaps the mosty pathetic figure we have come across lately is one man who has decided not to buy a Liberty bond because President Wil- son and Secretary McAdoo are dem- oecrats. !
