...prisoner and freedom will be a dozen locks, electrically controlled from a tower on the wall of the main circle. Gates of each unit will be so adjusted that no two can be open simultaneously. The whole structure will be enclosed by a circular tool resistant 12-ft. wire mesh fence. Cost of Pennsylvania's Mt. Gretna will be $2.020,000.

Last week, all but forgotten, this Potomac mystery became more baffling than ever. A Chesapeake Bay fisherman found Charles F. Keene, quite dead and floating out to sea upside down. What held him so was a brief case whose contents inventoried: a lady's mesh bag, an automobile jack, a mechanic's hammer, two beer can openers, a pen knife, a pocket comb, a silver tea strainer. The brief case was roped to his neck with tight sailor's bowline knots. In Mr. Keene's vest pocket: only a small tin box containing three .32-calibre...
Careening down Waterloo Road to the Stockton Food Products Co. came a truckful of spinach. As it slowed to enter the gates, strikers leaped upon it, tore off ropes, tossed crates of spinach into the street. Others dragged Tony Machado, the driver, from his mesh-protected cab.

...serious means of turning his ingenuity to profit, Dr. Longoria approached the problem of welding fine wires. In making paper on Fourdrinier machines, belts are used made of wire mesh in which the wires are only about .01 inch in diameter. To make long belts, sections of screen must be joined together. Arc welding or flame welding with a torch would be cheap and convenient, but it is impracticable because if the heat is applied an instant too long, the soft brass or bronze is burned and the seam ruined. In the Longoria device the weld is made with...
Lashed to a stretcher and screeching protests, eccentric Representative Marion Anthony Zioncheck was removed from Washington's Gallinger Municipal Hospital, taken to a private sanatorium at Towson, Md. for an indefinite stay. Let out in an exercise yard there, he sprinted to a 7½ ft. wire mesh fence, scaled it like a monkey, outran his astonished guards to freedom. Next day, after a Capitol charwoman found him sound asleep in his House office, authorities gave him his freedom on condition that he leave for his Seattle home...
