Paris. July 5. A device to
guard ships against approaching
or distant Icebergs Is claimed to
have been found by M. Irigaldine
of the French Society of Eletcri
cluns. Ever since the Titantic disaster
In 1912, this Inventor has been
-working on a scheme whereby Ice
bergs will be visible at many miles
distance. Experiments conducted
off the north coast of Newfound
land aboard a French gunboat are
said to have been conclusive tho
not absolutely perfect. In working
on his invention M. Larlgaldle
considered the dangers of icebergs
to shipping and the delays and ex
penses incurred by ships having to
take more southerly courses dur
ing cold weather. If his Invention
proves successful the Inventor
clalmst hat ships will henceforth
be able to navigate In more nor
therly watcrB and. he hopes there
by to reduce both the danger of
crone-Atlantic travel and the
time neded to make the crossing.
The apparatus M. Larlgaldle
employs on his trials consisted of
glided parabolical mirror, which
ean freely oscillate around Its
horizontal diameter. A heavy lead
weight reduces Its period of oscil
lation so as to render is Insensible
to the rolling of the ship. The axle
of the apparatus directed toward
the bow of the ship directly cuts
the horlson. In the center of tha
mirror a special thermoelectrical
coupling 'Is placed, which, care
fully calorlfled. Is protected by
sylvine, a highly transparent sub
stance. Despite serious difficulties
due In soma measure to the nar
row surface of the mirror. It was
possible to notice a diminution of
the current produced by the titer
mo-electrlcal coupling when an Ice
berg crossed the horizon at a dis
tance of six knots. Expecting offi

fident he can greatly Improve his

Reno Has New
Way to Assign i
Divorce Cases
Reno, Nev, July S Picking out
your favoflte Judse to hear the
merits of your case has been a
favorite Indoor sport of the divorce
colony here, it Is said, following
a conference of Judges Moran and
Lunsford and E. II. Heemer, the
county clerk.
The conference was made neces
aary heeause of the alleged arbi
trary selection by certain attor-i
neys of the Judges to hear their
cases. The practice has grown to
such large proportions that It has
become distasteful to the Washoe
county judges, anil has led to a
revision of the system used in as
signing divorce rases after they
were filed.
Up to the present time assign
ments to the two departments
have automatically been made as
cases were filed with even num
bers going Into one department
and odd numbers Into another. It
ia said that some attorneys have
held back cases of their clients for
several days In order that the next
number on the register might be
favorable and the rase be iet be
fore the "favorite" judge. At
taches of the clerk's offie-j hav,
been kept busy answering tele
phone calls as to the next number
on the register.
The conference of the Judges
and clerks resulted In a change of
system which will make It Impos
sible to foretell which Judge will
preside when a rase Is railed
Hereafter all cases as filed will be
assigned by drawing numbers from

Idaho burned 213 tons ot oil; the
New Mexico. 110, and the Missis
sippi, another superdreadnaught,
192 tons. All other daily records
showed about the same ratio in
fuel burned.
One of the effective arguments
In favor of the "electric ship,"
aside from economy, of operation,
Is cleanliness. The New Mexico
is free of dirt In the turbine or
furnace rooms, and it has the ap
pearance of a ship In commission
but a few days, instead of having
been operated three years.
Oreat economy Is practiced In
the use of the steam. The ex
haust steam coming from the tur
bine generators is used In the op
eration of auxiliary equipment.
Then It Is put Into evaporator colls
and distills sea water Into fresh
water. About 25,000 gallons of
ocean water is converted Into
fresh water on the New Mexico
every day. This is used for all
general purposes, from drinking
to laundry work.

Watch

Washington, July 5. The
largest watch ever known to be
manufactured is being exhibited
in the priceless collection of the
government and housed in the na
tional museum. It was manufac
tured by a big watch making com
pany of Lancaster, Pa., and was
loaned to the government for two
months for exhibition purposes.
This! mastodon among chronom

ameter is 1 inches thick and has
a main spring 9 feet long. It is
an exact duplicate of the standard
23-jewel watch of commerce, the
jewels being synthetic stones. The
timepiece was constructed at a
cost of $500 and represents some
of the finest workmanship of its
kind in the country. The "train'

with the coks in the teeth treated
specially to harden them against

Black Gowns
Latest Fad To
Sweep Europe
Bv Newton C. Parke.
Paris, July 5. All feminine
b.,.. i suddenly turning to
black gowns and the women who
flaunts bright colors feels distinct
ly out of place.
The running of the Prix de Di
ane at the reopening of the Chan
tilly race course was the most
fashionable event of the summer
on the continent. Promenading
before the stands were thousands
of the elite of Paris, London, New
York and scores of other cities and
fullv 90 ner cent of them were in
black. The wave of sombreness
has struck Uerlin, Koine, Vienna
and all other European capitals.
Edouard Ponti, noted French
writer, thinks he knows the reason
why.
Fashionable dressmakers did
not launch this mode deliberately,
for it takes money out of their
pockets." says Ponti. "A woman
must have many gayly-colored
dresses, because they are conspicu
ous and the same color cannot be
worn every day, whereas she may
do very well with two or three
gowns in black.
"It is not a measure of econ
omy. Women are spending more
money in Europe than at any time
excepting the period immediately
following the conclusion of peace.
"It is simply the natural re
action against the wave of jazz
band sayety that followed the ar
mistice when evetything was
brightly colored. It is a historical
fact that some mysterious link
connects women s fashions With
the prevailing attitude of the pub
lic mind. After the armistice,

lows. Today sober second thought
and realization that the world is
still full of trouble, less noise and

"If, In the near future, Europe

erywhere returns to normal you
will see lively colors reappear in
the feminine toilette."

Here's why CAMELS are
the quality cigarette
BECAUSE we put the utmost quality into this
one brand. Camels are as good as it's pos
sible for skill, money and lifelong knowledge of
fine tobaccos to make a cigarette.
Nothing is too good for Camels. And bear this
in mind! Everything is done to make Camels the
best cigarette it's possible to buy. Nothing is done
simply for show.
Take the Camel package for instance. It's the
most perfect packing science can devise to pro
tect cigarettes and keep them fresh. Heavy paper
secure foil wrapping revenue stamp to seal
the fold and make the package air-tight. But
there's nothing flashy about it You'll find no
extra wrappers. No frills or furbelows.
Such things do not improve the smoke any more
than premiums or coupons. And remember you
inust pay their extra cost or get lowered quality.
If you want the smoothest, mellowest, mildest
cigarette you can imagine and one entirely free
from cigaretty aftertaste,
It's Camels for you.

AN EDITORIAL
ON BUYING
The advertising of merchan
dise is the consumers' guarantee
of merit.
In his advertising the manu
facturer, over his own name,
makes claims for his goods
which must he lived up to. Con
sumers look for the qualities ad
vertised, and if they fail to find
them promptly transfer their
patronage to another brand.
Advertising is a two-edged
sword. It gives the consumers
the advantage of knowing ex
actly who disappoints them. No
one realizes this more keenly
than the manufacturer. So with
him it is a principle of good busi
ness as well as honor to make his
goods measure up to his adver
tising claims.
Manufacturers, brought con
stantly before the public by
their advertised goods, are usu
ally men of high character, who
make their goods as represent
ed. But in addition to this, the
educational force of advertising
is such that the consumer is as
sured of honesty and quality be
cause every reputable publica
tion and advertising agency de
mands it.
When the consumer buys unadvertised goods,
he gives up all these guarantees. He has no
'protection whatever, neither name nor assur
ance stands back of the product he buys.
If it is poor, he has no recourse. He does not
know who has cheated him. The dealer is
only the intermediary. He, himself, may have
been cheated in the goods.
In buying advertised products, the consumer
makes sure of goods manufactured On honor
and sold on honor. 'He has the price advantage
that comes from the big market built by the
manufacturer's advertising which by increas
ing the output decreases the cost of each pack
age or article, and enables the manufacturer
to take a smaller individual profit on account
of his great volume of business.
Fm every standpoint, the consumer is the
gainer in buying advertised goods.
