WAR DEVICES
TO BE SHOWN
AT CAPITAL
WASHINGTON, May 22 by Asso
ciated Press).—Strange devices used
in the war, and how American in
genuity is turning some of them to
peace-time uses will be a part of an
educational exposition of the Interior
department that will be held in Wash
ington for two weeks, beginning in
the latter part of May. The exposi
tion, however, will not be confined to
these exhibits, but it is planned to in
clude a display of the department’s
ramifications into the life, safety and
progress of the country resulting from
the haphazard addition of bureaus
from time to time. The various ex- (
hibils will make the exposition of j
national scope. ,
How a number of the bureaus of
the non-military department did their
Hit in tHo war will Ho aHr»wn hv tHo 1
displays revealing the development of
a machine to detect the present of the
enemy and spoil his plans, the recov- ,
ery of hidden mineral treasures need- .
ed to forge war engines, and the im
provement of super-poisons. Along
with these achievements, the exposi
tion will disclose inventions of private ,
American citizens, some of which
were regarded of such importance
that the issuance of patents was with
held under the ban of secrecy until the
signing of the armistice.
The patent office, a bureau of the his
torical models of epoch-making Amer
ican inventions, and from its cob
webbed recesses as secret as the
grave will resurrect certain foibles
or fancies of famous men. Abraham
Lincoln, for instance, designed a con
trivance to facilitate the passage of '
vessels over shallow water, and his
invention will be shown at the ex
position.
During the war, the bureau of
mines, another wing of the depart
ment devoted almost its entire atten- <
tion to war problems. The Geophone
a listening device invented by the
French to detect enemy tunneling and
turned over to America tor further
development will be a part qf the
bureau’s display. This device is to
be used in locating entombed miners, *
and a further development in the
making is a proposed international
code of rappings to enable entombed
men to talk through solid earth. The
gas masks, the making of sharpnel
shells, and the methods of American ^
oil drillers, which kept a continuous
stream of liquid fuel flowing into the
war zone, will be shown by working
models.
The geological^ survey already is
using the airplane in making topo- ^
graphic'maps, and this new method
will be illustrated at the exposition.
Models also will show undeveloped re
gions investigated by geologists, topo
graphers and engineers and the same
regions after they have completed
their work and shown the natural re
sources and the possible development
of the territory.
How America has shown its grati
tude to its war heroes and their de
pendents will be demonstrated in the
pension bureau display. In line with '
Secretary Lane’s farms-for-soldiers
plan, the bureau will show that the
country in the past has always advo
cated such rewards, this bureau hav
ing adjudicated claims for lands and
issued land warrants to soldiers for <
more than 68.000,000 acres. Lincoln,
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Farra
gut were granted land for service
through the bureau, and the appli
cants signed by them will be on ex
hibition. Important historial papers <
signed by Washington, Jefferson, Han
cock, Franklin and by Lafayette and
Kochambeau will be on display.
The general land office of the de
partment conducts the largest realty
concern In the world, and its notable
history, including the picturesque part 11
of opening townsites and Indian reser
vations, disposal of millions of acres
of land and accounting of millions of
dollars will be depicted. The nation’s
playgrounds of national parks, under
the jurisdiction of the department, (
will not be overlooked, an exhibit
being a working model of a Yellow
stone geyser in action, with another
showing the rugged character of the
proposed Roosevelt national park.
The government railroad that is <
being built in Alaska by model show
something of the progress being made
in the penetration of that pioneer
country by the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, as aij advance agent of
civilization and prosperity. Engineer
ing achievements of the reclamation
service will demonstrate how arid
lands have been engineering into pro- ^
riding full dinner pails for more than
i quarter of a million people. The de
partment’s efforts, by its bureau of
sducation, to stamp out illiteracy will
)e shown by another exhibit.
INFATUATION
(Annabelle Dennison MacConnell)
In my heart an echo wakened
When your voice fell on my ear;
ro’ I'm afar in mem’ry still
four accents linger, dear.
Dne conscious glance of yours
Which met and merged in mine
Jet a joyous song within my heart
melody almost divine!
rhen as tho’ by chance
Fust lightly, you touched me!
instantly a million desires
■flamed and reached for thee!
3ut in’that last mad moment
We kissed—our mouths were met—
Dear God! I’d die a thousand deaths
ro kiss and linger yet!
