Mans Head So Soft
Dynamite, Falling on 1t,
Fails to Be Exploded

New York. Sept. 23.-Alexander
Smith, chauffeur. is being con-
graduated oy his friends today on
his escape from most remarkable
experience. While seated at the
wheel of his machine. before the
Equitable Building, one of New
York's greatest skyscrapers. two
sticks of dynamite fell from, one
of the upper stories of the struc-
ture and struck him on the head.
Smith was knocked unconscious
and his scalp was lacerated. but the
dynamite did not explode. The Bu-
reau OF Combustibles experts said
there was enough dynamite in the
two sticks to have wrecked Broad
way for a block.
The police are endeavoring to find
out whether the dynamite was
thrown by design or whether IL
was some sort OF an accident.

Army and Navy News
Best Service Column in City.

The War Department has decided
that the relatives of officers and en-
listed men of the aviation section of
the Signal Reserve Corps and OF the
National Guard who may be killed as
a result of aviation accidents are en-
titled to one years pay as provided for
officers and enlisted men of the regu-
lar army aviation branch by the act
of July Is. 1914.
1t is proposed to Immediately in
crease the ordnance output at the
Washington Navy Yard. The Navy
Department finds it increasingly diff
cult to place contracts for ordnance
material, guns, mounts, torpedoes, and
torpedo tubes. 1t is also found very
difficult to place satisfactory contracts
for castings and forgings for the fab
rication of this material. Practically
all of the ordnance of the navy is de-
signed at the Washington Navy Yard,
and a considerable portion Of II is
manufactured there. A very consider
able organization has been built up
that has proven efficient in the manu-
facture of ordnance material and IL is
believed the simplest and quickest way
to meet the increased demand would
be to expand the existing institution.
Information is given at the Navy
Department OF the readiness for issue
at the New York Navy Yard OF out
fits of specially designed winter cloth
ing. An outfit includes two suits of
underwear. two pairs of heavy wooden
socks, one blanket overshirt with hood,
one windproof suit with hood to be
worn over all, one pair Of heavy arc
tics for those on ships other than de-
stroyers or one pair of heavy leather
sea boots for those on destroyers only.
Pending further developments, de-
termined by actual service conditions,
outfits will be supplied to vessels for
issue in general as follows: Battle
ships and large cruisers, all deck
force; gunboats and small cruisers, all
deck force; Golfers and other vessels
of train. all deck force; transports, all
deck force; destroyers. entire crew;
mine sweepers, entire crew; patrol
boats and submarine chasers, entire
crew. 1t is not intended to supply
coast patrols operating south of the
Fifth naval district. No requisition
will be required from ships for initial
outfits; they will be shipped in guam
titles based on the records of the Bu-
reau Of Navigation. The number of
outfits furnished in each case will al
low for 10 per cent spares, except for
mittens where so per cent spares will
be allowed. The following list en-
braces the different articles compris-
ing an outfit: Imitation leather jacket
and breeches, putty color, wind and
water proof; helmet cap Of same ma
terial; one-fingered gauntlet mittens of
same material; inner suit oxford gray
wool. close-fitting jacket and breeches;
six-clasp arctic overshoes; lace leather
boots. 16-inch leg; two suits extra
underwear; two pairs
extra heavy woolen socks.

War CRUCIBLE
ENDS POLITICS
Speaker Clark Declares
Party Differences Are
Now All Forgotten.

The war Is not only obliterating
political lines, but it is also wiping
out the lines of demarcation in the
religious denominations OF the coun-
try" declared Champ Clark. Speaker
OF the House Of Representatives, at
the services for soldiers and sailors
on the Ellipse yesterday afternoon,
following a concert by the Marine
Band.
Except for the fact that I am the

any political parties" explained
Speaker Clark. This wiping out Of
political lines is only temporary" he
added.
Cites Duty of stay-at-Homes.
"I have said before In the House,
and 1 repeat today to the soldiers
and sailors here, that If you men are
willing to risk your lives those who
stay at home ought TO be willing to
see that you are made comfortable
Both the House and Senate are de-
termined to carry this war to a sue
cessful conclusion. and I hope a
speedy one. In carrying on the war
Congress Is determined TO make you
as comfortable as dollars can make
you comfortable.

DESIGNS PERFECTED
FOR TRUCKS OF WAR
New Carriers Two Years in Ad-
vance Of Present Models.

vance OF Present Models.
Designs have been perfected for
standard motor truck for the
United States. through the CO.
operation of forty foremost civilian
and military engineers of the coun-
try. who promise final tests OF the
new trucks in October, and initial
deliveries in January. 1918. Ex-
perts who have inspected the sam
pie chassis agree that It is at least
two years in advance of models at
present produced in America. as a
result of the revealing of private
plans and hitherto jealously guarded
trade secrets. in the same manner
by which the epoch-making avia-
tion Liberty Motor" was perfected
in a few weeks.
Trucks of , and 5-Ton Capacity.
During the first six months Of
1918 1t is expected that $4,000 OF
the cars will be shipped overseas.
This number will comprise 10000
Glass B" trucks. with an official
capacity of one and one-half tons,
but an actual load limit of three
tons. and 5000 Glass A" motors,
WIFI normal capacity lot three
tons. but an actual capacity for
five. Under the auspices of the So
ciety of Automobile Engineers a
conference between inventors and
specialists met in secret session
here in August. following pre-
liminary meeting at Columbus. Ohio.
in July. at which leaders in the in
dustry pledged their aid to the gov
ernment.
Models StandardiEe.
Manufacturers are already ar
ranging details for the production
of these carriers on a peace-time
basis, proving their ability for
economic uses in commerce as well
as war. Parts of the two models
have been standardized to a high
degree so that parts can be in
terchanged between both trucks in
the event Of damage by shell-fre
or accident.
Rapidly of manufacture. stabil-
ity, and standardization are the out
standing promises of the new
truck" says q bulletin on the new
