An Interesting j rot" ram of other features was al io carried out In the new building yesterday. An Impressive moment came when President Martin called out the various articles which Vice President Frank 8. Smith then placed in a box occupying the cav- y over which the corner stone 11 be placed by masons today. In an Inspirational address ud- on the "Sensitiveness of the Un even." Dr. Rondthaler. who is no ted as an orator ot marked abil ity and has been heard In Ashe ville several times before, pleased his hearers with an able discus sion hinging unpn the great work being performed by the Associa tion. Helen Keller, he said..1 was one ot the most astonishing individ uals of the present age. Blind, deaf and dumb, she still lived with marvelous appreciation of what she could neither see nor hear. Dr. Rondthaler described a drive with Helen Keller in which she '"sensed" the details of the landscape whether forest, field Imeadow or hillside. So Agasiz in Ithe silences of the highest moun tain!

Passing from the invisible ma terial world, the speaker said that the, great human basis of charac. Eer, 1. e. honor, integrity, fidelity, oyalty, all depend upon sensitive. Eiess of the unseen.

TWO YEARS7 GOOD BUSINESS AHEAD Bankers Convention Opening in New York' To day Will Close October 6 NEW YORK, Oct. l.On the eve of what promises to be the largest and most important (lie oriy-eigiun annual convention of the American Bankers' Associa tion, which opens tomorrow, inde pendent bankers representing all sections of the country met In preliminary session today and planned a campaign to put he garnering on record against the establishment of branch banks by me mrger national bunking houses. Today's preliminary session as sumed the proportion of a mass meeting with bunkers' delegations present from many cities and an arU-branch bank headquarters hax oeen established In the Bllt more Hotel by the Chicago and Cook County Bankers' Association. The bankers at today's meet ing decided to attempt to force throuftfi the convention a resolu tion placing the organization on record as against the branch bank plan, by which National banks In the larger cities maintain estab lishments In other cities and town. They also will seek to have the body disapprove by resolution the alleged support of the plan by D. R. Crissinger, Comptroller of the Treasury. The branch bank plan. they contend, threatens absorp tion, If not destruction, of state and Independent hanks and trust co:npanles In smaller 'communi ties. Bankers - of the larger cities, particularly New York, are ex pected to wage a stiff fight to pre vent adoption of the proposed resolution.

"1 Statistics given out by officials of the Atlantic Coast Une Railway Company today bow that the number of shopmen now employed by the company ex ceeds the number the day prior to tho strike July 1. Tne announcement places the shop force for the entlfre line at 104.9 per cent normal as com pared with June S. It Is also an nounced that the Cosit Une Is erect ing barrack! at Florence, 8. C-, to replace the Pullman ears being ased there to house shopmen. WASHINGTON, Oct. 1. Two instruments which, it Is declared, will revolutionize the art of coast defense, are being exhibited in the Ordnance Department here and will later be installed at Panama to control -the fire of the big guns in the canal defense. The Instru ments' comprise a system of rang ing" and following a moving "enemy ship-. They, are- electrically, oper ated and automatically add.- sub-' tract, multiply, divide and make allowance for many factors con trolling the flight of a big shell. Visitors to the larger coast de fense stations often wonder how it is possible for the gunners to hit a ship with a five or six foot pro jectile shot from , a gun 70 or 20 feet in length, when the enemy is as far off as 30 miles. In the days cf the War Between the States, when small cannon shot iron balls weighing 15 or 30 pounds the range was usually point blank, the enemy shop loomed large as a tar get and the gun pointer sighted by gazing along, the barrel. The greater dtstapces, weights and charges used in moderp me chanical warfare call for more ac curate fire. . In future artillery duels, army officials say that the salvos will be exchanged at the rate of two or three a minute and between volleys changes must be made in firing directions. As there is so little time for this by hand calculation, some accuracy of fire is lost to speed. The new instruments will con stantly make these corrections. They are called the target' com- putor and the battery computor. The are directed by two high Dowered telescopes located at fix ed observation stations In the vici nity of the , harbor defense. . On sighting an enemy, the observa tions are transmitted electrically to the two calculating instruments. where the exact location of the enemy ship is computed. These hew instruments, the fruit of several years constant work and experiment predict the advance- location of . the . moving enemy, make allowances for the temDerature of powder type of ahell atmospheric pressure, dlreo tlon and velocity of the wind and the drift of the shell caused by the big gun's rifling. Under the fa resen t "systema H t h ese- iac tors rn nHfied. aubstr&cted and other wise checked up and tccounted for by human re finders. A great advantage of the new system, which is caueo me rora Artillery computor system, is that provision Is made for using air plane observations in ine cuuuun so that firing can be continued even though the enemy is obscur h fmm the land observation posts by smoke screens or other causes. .

The fact that Turk ish troops are still concentrating In the Ismld zone, notwithstanding that they have retired slightly In the Chanak xone, would indicate, according to remarks made after the Hi-ltlsh cabinet's second meet- ' Ing today, that "Kemal Is still ' playing a game."
