TEN CHILDREN KILLED
BY GERMAN AIR BOMB

COLOGNE. January 15.-Ten children
who were playing in gravel pit near

ed today by an air bomb. The children
found the uneXploded bomb and were
playing with it when it exploded.
The district in the vicinity of the
aviation field had been repeatedly
searched after bombs had been drop
ped by aviatorS. 1t is probable that
the bomb found by the children had
been driven into the ground and only
became exposed by the heavy rains of

and referred to the public lands COM
mttee. These bills call for the dis
posal of 100000 acres of public do

favorable action is taken on the Pitt
man bill il will be considered pre-

other thirteen bills may follow.
In its statement the ASSOCIATION says:
THE Pittman bill gives the disposal
of 7.O0O0 900 acres of United States pub
lie lands to the Nevada state legisla =
ture for the benefit of the public
schools and the state university.

public lands within the public land
states goes to the states. and that. in
addition. the federal government APP
propriates $4,000 a year for the ag-
riculturai colleges in each of these
states 1t is true that Nevada did not
receive . per cent of the net proceeds
of public lands. but the grants to Ne
vada were more liberal than those to
the other states, in that they allowed
selection of any lands within the
state.
