COUNCIL CITY MAN I
INVENTS LIQUID FIRE
(ANCHORAGE TIMES)
WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept. 3,—
Charles Strum, of Council City, Alas
ka, is in Washington and is having
a varied experience. Mr Strum came
here with an invention of his own,
covering not only liquid fire for use
in battle, but also with new ideas,
originating with him, in the matter of
containers for the liquid and a novel
arrangement for the attachment and
quick detachment of the containers
from the bottom of an airplane. In
fact, his invention covered the entire
field of operating quickly and uner
ringly with liquid fire from the clouds
to the earth, governed by scientific
principles, which Mr Stum had fig
ured out to a nicety.
Probably to the layman and to the
military sharp, the most interesting
part of his apparatus was his original
idea of attaching the glass containers
to the under portion of a plane by a
system of electric wires which would
liberate them singly or in groups from
any height, at the same time igniting
a primer which would light the fire at
any desired point in the downward
flight of the containers, and causing a
devastating flame to break forth upon
a given acreage, destroying whhtever
came in contact with it.
During the first two or three days
after Mr Strum’s arrival in Washing
ton, he succumbed to the heat and be
came quite ill; in fact he experienced
a slight specimen of the effect of his
own invention. On his recovery, how
ever. he placed his ideas before the
army officers interested in such mat
ters, receiving a very flattering recep
tion. He was given a test, but that
test included only an investigation of
his particular brand of liquid fire, by a
chemist, no attention being paid to
his more valuable originations with
reference to the containers. As far as
the liquid was concerned, the chemist
dcided in favor of the mixture of an
other man, with Mr Strum’s as sec
ond choice. He refused, of course, to
make any statement as to Mr Strum's
other inventions, as that matter per
tains to separate bureaus and investi
gators. Mr Strum expects to be able
to show his remaining inventions in a
favorable light and if he does, he will
be compelled to go thru the process
of bargaining with the government for
their use. This is the most disagree
able and often most disappointing pro
cedure with which an inventor has to
do.
Mr Strum also brought with him
several letters from parties in Alaska
to Secretary of the Interior Lane with
reference to the alleged abuses of the
reindeer situation there, which will
probably be made the foundation for
an investigation of the entire question.

Ruin In Its Wake
ADD STRENGTH WITH FOURTH LIBERTY BONDS
An interview with the Committee
in charge of the Fourth Liberty Loan
Drive revealed the fact that subscrip
tions were coming in liberally. One
of the Committee speaking of the loan
said:
“Our country is engaged in a just
and holy war. We are fighting to pre
serve our homes and our country from
such atrocities as the hellish Hun has
committed in Belgian and in North
ern France. It is the patriotic duty
and responsibility of American citi
zens to rally to its support, and by so
doing hasten the day of victory and
the return of permanent peace with all
Its blessings.
“With this knowledge of the con
ditions actually confronting us, it is
incumbent upon all of our people to
subscribe to this loan to the fullest ex
tent of their means, both present and
expectant, to help to defray the war
expenses of our National Government.
“A liberal subscription to this loan
will not only serve the national pur
pose, but also prove a sound and pro
fitable investiment for you, in the
safest security known—interest pay
ing bonds of the United States Gov
ernment, the land and people upon
which the preservation of human
rights and the uninterrupted progress
of civilization now largely depend."

Vour Own Home, and your Family.
Buy Liberty Bonds, and do it now.
The Pioneer Women have their
hearts in the right place in supply*
ing baby outfits for the Belgians,
to an extent that should cause all the
jther lodges and organizations as well
is individuals in Nome to sit up and
take notice, and then follow their ex
unple. .There are young and old and
men and women in need of garments
ts well as babies. I wonder if the
members of our two Moose lodges
lave their hearts in the right place. .
