DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL, DOUGLASVILLE, GEORGIA ELECTRICITY BIG $ FACTOR IN WAR Every “Big Bertha” in World Conflict Is Fired by Press* ing a Button. WIRELESS IS ALWAYS BUSY Invention Stimulated by Demands of War—Trench Orders Given by Tel ephone—Magnets Take Place V of Surgeon’s Probe. New York.—Electricity, child of peace, has been adopted by war as its own especial ward. Without electric ity this war could never have reached the proportions which it has; perhaps could never have been fought at all. Every “Big Bertha” is fired by uu elec tric spark. Every order from head quarters reaches the trenches, not by courier as in days of old, but by tele phone. The wireless crackles a stuc- cato accompaniment to every sailing of ship and submarine. The torpedo itself is propelled by electric motors. Invention has been stimulated N THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OI< GEORGIA In re- 1 No. 5858 Clifford Deleon Camp, - Bankrupt.)

This is to notify nil persons con cerned that an election will Le held at; Douglasville, Ga., in the Court House . in Douglas County in the Public School District in said County known as Pub- j lie School District No. 22, on the htj day of Sept. 1917, for the purpose of j determining whether the Trustees efi said Public School District shall issue ! bonds for the purpose of building and j equipping a school house or houses and ' for such other purpose as is contc-ni-! plated by the act of the General As- j sembly of the State of Georgia, ap- j proved Aug. 17, 1913, relative ito the building and equipping School build- | ings in 3uch Districts.&Said Board oi Trustees of said School^District hav ing by resolution adopted by said Trustees, fixed the amount of said proposed issue of bonds at $-15,000.00, 5 per cent interest per aunum in thirty years after date and the sum of $1,* 500.OOof said bonds to he paid.nnnually of the principal and interest upon the bonds up to the time they] become due thirty years after date then all of th principal and interest will he fully paid off.

FOR RENT—8-room house and 4 acres land. Apply to J. C. Wright, Lois Mill side. And when erected, it can tal* messages from field anil airplanes with equal ease. The French have developed tho wireless to a fine point. They now have what they call an “ondophono” detector for receiving messages, the value of which lies in its small size find extremely compact makeup. The whole affair, as a matter of fact, can bo carried in an officer’s breast pocket. With this little detector at a dis tance of 20 miles from the transmit ter all that Is needed is an open um brella held ns high as the hand can reach—or a sword, if you prefer— while a small metal contact piece con nected to a cord lies upon the ground and makes tho earth circuit. At (>() miles one need only plant a knife In a tree, preferably a pine tree, or a gimlet will answer as well. One of the cords with Its metal clip is at tached to this “antenna” while the other clip is placed in the ground. The entire receiver weighs but 13 • ounces and yet in spite of Its size it is meticulously made and is a most accurate apparatus. For Lonrj-Distance Work. For long distance, for instance to the extreme borders of France, one clip is joined to a telephone line which serves ns an antenna and the other goes to gas or water pipes for the ground. But at a smaller distance! there can he a wider choice for an- j tennne—a kitchen stove, a balcony, a 1 metn! ’.J or the like, or even a bi cycle or an automobile. The operator j may use his own body for the ground by attaching the metal clip to his fin ger, while the other clip goes to the telephone wire. In this way signals have reached Paris from a distance of no less than 270 miles. Most interesting of all, perhaps, and particularly so from a constructive viewpoint, Is the invention of an elec trical contrivance to remove particles of metal from wounds. This has not come directly from the war, either, though it is being used there now in the best of the base hospitals. It came from Pittsburgh, from the fac tories which have been furnishing practically all of the barbed wire for the allies’ intreneliments. Tills machine is a powerful electric magnet that is taking the place of the surgeon’s painful and perilous probe, and it is .one to save countless lives and untold' agony.
