MORE DEADLY
THAN LIQUID FLAME, BOMB is
TRIED OUT
Everything Combustible In 5000
Square Feet Destroyed In Initial
Tests Near Washington

Washington, July 2S-Tests we're
made today near Washington, in the
presence of an officer of the ordnance
bureau of the war department, of "a
new incendiary bomb, which is said
to be more potent in destruction than
the liquid flame used in Europe.
Two tests we're made, one as II the
bomb had been dropped from an areo-
plane and the other with a planted
bomb set with tiny fuse. On ex-
plosion every combustible thing with
in an area of more than 6,0O0 square
feet was destroyed.
1t is claimed that men could not
save themselves from these bombs
because the action of the fire is in
stantaneous, This claim was con
frmed by the members of congress
who Witnessed the tests.

When Johnny protested against ex-

yite any great conventions to this city
for the reason that there is no place
for the assembling Of crowds. Every
church in the city would support a
movement for convention hall for
the reason that our crowds have out
grown the church buildings and union
meetings must be held in auditoriums
larger than any of the church struc'
lures. A convention hall would serve
such a purpose admirably.
The exhibition of living models on
Thursday night at the Westheimer d
DalIbe store demonstrated the neces-
sity for large hall to be used by the
merchants for such purpose. With the
weather conditions as unfayorable as
they were, this store was packed and
iammed to such an extent that one
woman gave way in a faint and med
ical aid had to be summoned Had
the weather conditions been favorable,
it is likely that show eases would
have been crushed and property dam
age would have resulted.
A convention hall is necessary in
stitution in any city. The building
need not be an expensive structure,
but it should combine seating capacity
with safety,
A convention hall cannot be built as
private enterprise 1t must be built
either by privates inscriptions or by
the municipality. When the initial
cost of construction has been borne,
the upkeep can well be taken care Of
by requiring a fee for its use sufficient
to heat, light and to keep the building
in good repair. The present may not
be the psychological moment to start
a campaign for "a convention hall, but
such an institution is needed and Ard
more's progressive citizens should be
giving some thought to the subject.
