AMERICAN CLAY
 IS SUPERIOR TO
 GERMAN ARTICLE
War Forces Glass Workers to Find Substitute for
 German Supply.
(By Jonathan Winfield.)

Washington, Dec. 4.-American glass manufacturers no longer are dependent on foreign clays hereto fore used in their industry, the de- partment of commerce announced to- day.
 Recent experiments conducted by the United States bureau of standards have demonstrated that the American product is even superior to the inn ported article and can be used to better purpose.
 The experiments, which were con- ducted at the Pittsburgh laboratory of the bureau near one of the chief centers of the glass industry in the United States, brought out the fact that glass refractories--the pots in which the glass is melted-can be prepared from the American clay with resulting better quality than that of the article manufactured with the addition of German plastic clays.
 The mixture prepared from Ameri- can clays also proved superior, the bureau reports, in the glass-corro- sion tests. both as to the mixtule prepared from German clays alone and as to that prepared from Ameri- can and German clays combined.
 Heretofore. it was the general im- precision that American clays could not be used to advantage in the ways

covered by the tests and the German product was depended on entirely. But the war came along and cut off the German supply, so the manufac- turers and government experts set about finding a substitute.
 And that they succeeded is declared by the bureau of standards. The di- rector of the bureau says that the value of the results of this single investigation to American industry far s1rpasses the entire amount the government has expended in the clay products work since the time of it's organization.
 It is the opinion of the government experts and the manufacturers who took part in the experiments that from now on no foreign clays will be needed in this branch of manufac- ture. The work started by the ex- perimenters is ready to be tried out on large scale.
 This is but one of number of American products that have been found equal, if not superior, to the foreign article which prior to the war was regarded as indispensable, the bureau intimates, and have made cer- tain industries in the United States independent of conditions in foreign countries.

 Fr0tection for Manufacturers.
 Anti-dumping legislation will Dc brought in early in the session upon recommendation of the department of commerce and perhaps of the presi- dent. This measure will aim to pre- vent the dumping of European goods into the United States after the war a belowthe- market prices to regain lost trade. It is proposed to impose a tax upon such goods sufficient to bring their selling price in America up to the regular market price.
 An amendment to tho ri-trust laws to permit A'nerican manufac-
 tureers to combine for the purpose of
 maintaining co-or' rative selling agencies abroad will be attemrted also. Under the present laws. Amer ican corporations find prohibitive the cost of operating individual selling agences n European countres be- cause of government supervision of , the markets there.
 Laws probably will be enacted On l suggestion of the department of jus | tice to facilitate the prosecution of

NINE UNEMPLOYED BOMBS
FOUND ABOARD STEAMER
Hidden In Bags OF Sugar. Which,

LEFT NEW YORK FOR FRANCE
Ship Sailed About Time That Activi-
tics Of BOmb-Placers Reached Their
Height-Oflcers Report Discovery
of Explosives.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Nine urex-
ploded bombs were found aboard the
steamer Kirkoswald at Marseilles when
she discharged her sugar cargo from
New York on her last outward voyage,
according 20 the Kirkoswald's officers,
who reached here on the steamers re-
turn trip.
All the bombs were hidden in bags Of
sugar. the Kirkoswald's officers said.
The sugar was taken aboard. they said,
at the Fabre Line pier In Brooklyn.
The Kirkoswald flying the British
flag. sailed fro n New York on May Q.
This was about the time that the activi-
ties OF tho bomb placers. 80 far as vet
disclosed. reached their height. or the
three other vessels which, IL was
learned recently. sailed out of New York
with bombs secreted in their cargo, two
departed within a few days Of the
Kirkoswald. These were the Lord Erne,
sailing April %. and the Bankdale,
which left May I.
Like the kirkoswald, both these YES
sells were British, and both sailed for a
French port-Havre. The American
and French governments. it was said,
have been pressing Investigations.
Six OF the bombs on the Kirkoswald
were found In one sack Of sugar, which
burst as the steamer was discharging
Its cargo with sings. The bombs were
round and small. Another sack con-
tanned three bombs.

GUN CARELESSLY HANDLED
RESULTS IN TRAGEDY

LURAY. VA, July 1l.-By the acct
dental discharge of a shotgun in the
hands of Glynn Richard, in this county
to-day Harry Strickler, his uncle, was
killed. The killing occurred at the
home of William u. Richard, where
the men were exhibiting the shooting
qualities OF two shotguns. In some
mysterious manner the gun was dis
charged while the hammers were down,
Richard at the time using his weapon
as walking stick.
The Jar of the gun on the floor is
believed to have discharged the wea-
pom. The load tore n part OF Strick-
ler's shoulder away and almost severed
his head from its body. A coroner's
jury eXonerated Richard from all
blame.
remarkable coincidence of to-day's
tragedy was the killing of n cousin OF
young Stricken just twenty-five years
ago, and in exactly the same manner as
Strickler was killed.
