ALASKAN INVENTS LIQUID
FIRE FOR AIRPLANE USE
(Special to the Daily Times)
WASHINGTON. Aug. 30.—Edward
Strum of Council City, Alaska, is
in Washington and is having a varied
experience. Mr Strum came here
with an invention of Ids own covering
not only liquid lire for use in battle,
hut also with new ideas originating
with him in the matter m containers
I lor tile liquid and a novel arrange
| meid for the attachment and quick
J detachment of the containers front
I the bottom of an airplane. In fact.
Ibis invention covered the entire field
jot operating quickly and unerringly
| with liquid lire from the clouds to the
I earth, governed by scientific pririei
j pies which Mr Strum had figured out
to a nicety.
ITohahly to the layman and to the
military sharp the most interesting
j part of tiis apparatus was Itis 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 tire
at any desired point in the downward
flight of the containers and cause a
devastating flame to break forth upon
a given acreage, destroying whatever
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
was quite ill; in fact he experienced
a slight specimen of the effect of his
own Invention On his reemery, how
ever, he placed his ideas before the
army officers interested in such mat
ters and was accorded a very flatter
ing reception. He was giwn a test,
hut that test included only an inves
tigation of his particular brand of
liquid fire, by a chemist, no attention
being paid to his more valuable origi
nations with reference to the contain
ers. As far as the liquid was con
cerned the chemist decided in favor
of the mixture of another man, with
Mr. Strum's as second choice. He re
fused. of course, to make any state
ment as to Mr. Strum’s other inven
tions, as those matters pertain to sep
arate bureaus and investigators. Mr.
Strum expects to he able to show1 his
remaining inventions in a favorable
a**- y, be.
compelled, to go through the process
of bargaining with the overnment 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 m Alaska
to Secretary of the Interior Lane with
reference to the alleged abuse of the
reindeer situation there, which will
probably he made the foundation for
an investigation of the entire ques
tion.

JUAUKZ, Mexico. Aug 30.—De
serters, draft evadors and pro-tler
mans who seek refuge in Mexico find
little welcome or comfort here. These

from any of their own nationality, or
work at the most menial jobs obtain
able in the stores and homes of the
foreign residents.
Keeently three draft evaders art
