MARVELOUS INVENTION TO BE CONSIDERED BY BOARD OF EXPERTS LOVE-JITNEY-PIRATE-THE YOUNG NURSE AND THE COOL AUTOMATIC liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 1 1 LOUTS GATHJWfN li V- NEW SPECIMEN IS HUNTED BY INSPECTOR SPRAGUE. Jitney Driver Who Manufactured a Breakdown and Incurred an Exciting Experience.

Found: The only animal of Its kind known to be In cjxistence; a combina- of a jitney driver and a love pirate. Thajt ia, the animal Is not cx- lotly found yet but Jitney Inspector Spfague Is hot on his trail. There has ilso been found, the only lady In MUH- Kogee who has nerve enough to use Colt's. Some time ago when thg street cars n-ent on a "strike" and there were but of Dick Long's "necessary evils" riat-wheellng on the streets of this the Jitney busses did a volume of business and Jitneys were humming md buzzing In every direction. The corporation companies hurriedly rent- id "high powered Fords'" and came to rescue of the dear old public with what they called "extras." Then, too, were a number of persons who operating "scab" jitneys at the same time and altogether there were ibout $2 worth of Jitneys loose on the But this has nothing to do A 'ith the "combination" or the lady While the jitneys were running thick and fast a certain young lady nurse boarded one late at night labeled "Fon Du Lac Street," and narted on the way to her Said was quite a way out and after other few passengers had been unloaded early on the journey, the car (Uddenly emitted a manufactured groan ind came to a sudden stop.

The driver seemed surprised. He set the "spark." the "tin tick" and finally, lifted the hood and looked at the engine. AH to no avail. lie had already proven his ability, ior Inability as a jitney driver and he proceeded to demonstrate certain qualities as a jitney "love pirate" also. Mr." Jitney Driver went to the.

back end of the car and sat down by his customer and thereby gave Informal notice of his entrance into the field of operations for love pirates. "How far out do yon he asked the lady aa he sidled closer. No answer. Then, "It sure is nice out in the night air, isn't it?" Again no answer. "Hon!" laughed the driver as he moved still closer, and he pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

And it was then that the passenger took action. As the "combination" struck the match the glare lit up his face and she could see the lines of his face drawn into a jeering countenance with the slightest hint of a wicked smile. His eyes were leary and for the first time the lady realized that she was nearly in the clutches of a love AH at once he felt something hard and round pressed hard against his ribs but he took no notice. Then the lady- commanded in a very coolly calculated voice that he climb out and 'drive on. While the matcli was still burning he looked around gods! She had an automatic.

The way the "only existing combination of its kind" climbed out of the rear seat and cranked that car would have been a sight to see. The. "high powered Ford'' started without a hitch and the lady was soon deposited at her station, still toying with a blue i steel automatic with which she directed the return of the "combination." Miss well -it wouldn't be hardly fair to tell her name, but anyhow she has never seen that driver since. She still carries her automatic. And meanwhile.

Jitney Inspector Sprague Is looking for that wonderful "combination," and If he finds him, "combination" will have to drive his jitney sitting on a ciishion for some lime. LOAN MAN AFTER, HIM.

VV.iahiiigion, Aug. A battleship that no torpedo can will be ortp of the first thinBs I'-nele Sam'i; newly created naval board of experts will consider.

Such a battleship is badly needtd now. as demonstrated l)y the present war, but the idea is not new, for Ijouis Gathmann, famous armament inventor, submitted his invention to the navy department some twelve years but vainly. Gathmann for years has worked on plans for a triple hull battleship that could defy mmes, torpedoes and high explgsive shells. During this time he has sought to get the navy department interested in his plans, but his idea IVE PIAGRAMS SHOWING OLD STYLE A.XP HIS NEW TUIBLE IN THE ACCOMPANYING STO RY. was always ignored.

Recently, an experiment was made with a torpedo charge against a hull construction reproaent- inn (lie fatest Slates dread- naughts. The toriiedo charge sank the Just as ii would had it been our newest and biggest Gathmann again laid the invention before the navy department. This time with some success. In letters to Secretary of the Navy Daniels, Gathmann said: "My to 50U, Mr. Secretaf.v, Is to call a halt on the war vessels now under construction, because being not constructed nor equipped In harmony with modern science, they will be solutely of no militar value." In a later letter accompanying sketches of the triple hull which the secretary of the navy has asked for that he may auhiult them to the new boa 1 (1 of experts, Gathmann points out that; "Germany is the only country which has recognized the value of this triple hull s.vstem so far, and their latest drcadnaughts are so constructed and can defy high explosive shells and or mines." The accomi anying sketches, now printed for the first time, were drawn bv Louis Gathmann.
