The only alteration made in' the hand grenades to convert them Into sav ings banks was the removal or the TNT charge and the cutting of a slot as a coin way. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, which Is handling the dis tribution of the grenades to the banks and trust companies, antici pates orders aggregating 100,000 of the war souvenirs. Robert E.Smith, director .of the war loan organisation for the Twelfth Federal Reserve Dis trict, said "These NVmerlran-made hand grenades constitutes one of the 'best souvenirs of the! war one could possfbly get. Some months ago an eastern firm managed to get some of thorn and disposed of them readily at one dollar each." i at that' time were condemned to death.

Inventor of Telegraphed Pictures is Mere Youth One evening In October, 191a, in a hotel at Blackfoot, Idaho, a nineteen-year-old boy, already well known as an Inventor of mathematical in struments, sat reading interestingly a Craig Kenedy story in the Novem ber 1915 Cosmopolitan Magazine. The story was a pure work of fic tion about an Imaginary invention to send pictures by wireless.-The story said that the .tiny parts ot the pic tures were sent in such rapid success ion as to give the eye the impression of a complete picture. That set the 19-year-old boy to thinking. Until then, all his Inventions had been ot a mathematical nature. In tact, It was to Introduce his area- scope, an Invstrument that Is now used In one-fourth of the colleges of the United States, and In over a thou sand high schools, that he was mak ing the trip that took him, among other places, to 'Blackfoot, Idaho. After he had read the Cosmopoli tan story about the fictitious picture telegraphle machine, he must have said, "I'll make that story come true" for that Is what he has don'e. Before going to Ibed that night In Blackfoot, alt the fundamental Ideas of this big Invention had been work ed out by him. He finished his trip In the Interest of his earlier inven tion, and when he returned hqme he started work on a model of his elec tric picture transmitter. This Instru ment was completed and exhibited before a U. 8. naval expert. He soon Invented two other en tlrely different ways to telegraph pic Nl CAE RAILROAD MEN NIAII XO Tlt.tlXM SOW KKIXO MiST TO ix w ;klkh htiukW TKUIMTOItV Milieu I Confident That Htrike Will lie Knilnd Ity 7 O'clock Satur ilny MoVnlng &ui Francisco, Aug. 29. Railway employes have returned to work throughout Central California. Trains are now being sent to Los Angeles, where the strike Is still on. Although the railroads are willing to receive striking workmen back, hot a single complete train crew has reported in Los Angeles, despite the orders of the international officers. San Francisco, Aug. 29. Announc ed determination of the government to restore full railroad service in Cal- I Itornla, Arizona and Nevada by 7 o'clock Saturday morning, expressed In Washington by Walker D. Hlnes, director general ot railroads, waa generally accepted here as meaning that the strike situation would be cleared in the west within a' few hours. VXen before the announcement ot Mr. Hlnes. strikers at practically all points except in Los Angeles ter ritory were obeying the orders of chiefs of the international railroad brotherhoods and were returning to work. Union leaders here urged the men to consider the consequences of re maining on strike In rlew of the statement of Mr. Hlnes that all men who did not return to their posts by the time set would find their po sltions rilled. The statement of the director-gen era! further announced that anyone who Interfered with or Interrupted the une ot railroad property would be dealt with tor having committed an offense against the United States tures, one being the method that the Courier will use to receive its news pictures In time for the next edition of its paper after an event occurs. , The inventor ot these marvelous systems to telegraph pictures Is Roy J. Lelshman ot Ogden Utah. Unlike many other Inventors, he is able, himself,, to turn his inventions Into money. Tie. Is now 23 years old and Is president of the J J. Lelshman Co.. ot Ogden, Utah, which handles all his mathematical Inventions, some ot which are used in 28 different countries. The first exhibition ot the system that the Courier will use, was given on December 31st before a' delegation of newspaper men and city officials of Ogden, from where the picture was telegraphed to New York City and return, a total distance of 4S56 miles. iBut Immediately after Irishman had sent It, and before the New York operator had had time to send H back again, the Inventor decided that a simple change .would Improve his apparatus Immeasurably, so he hur riedly shaped it Into an entirely dif ferent affair, had It ready In plenty of time, and received the,plcture back again on a device radically different and vastly better than the one he had used for Its transmission. It la the kind of apparatus that Latehman used to receive this picture the same 1n almost every particu larthat will be utilized to get tele graphed 'pictures for the Courier.
