FAULTY SHELLS DUE
TO OUR IGNORANCE
Arsenal Experts Here Unaware
of Chemical Formula Long
Known in Europe.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2G.-Officers
from Frankford Arsenal testified to-
day before the House Military Affairs
committee, which is investigating the
cause of defective ammunition, that
deterioration of materials and lack
of experience by American chemists
were responsible. They indicated that
the trouble had been remedied. Eff
forts by members of the committee to
lay the blame on individuals were un-
successful.
Col Montgomery. commander of
the Arsenal, declared that no eXpro-
sive chemist in this country, either in
government arsenals or in private
knew that bromate of potas-
stun, which was only recently ris-
covered in the potassium chlorate
was poisonous to the latter He said

THE MEN WHO PAY FIRE
LOSSESs

n IRE insurance rates are
T based on the probability
of losses as indicated by
experience on the part OF the
underwriters; every fire, in
cendiary or otherwise, helps to
swell the losses with conse-
ouent difficulties in the path of
securing lower insurance
charges. The man or corpora
ton that carries insurance and
has no fire pays for the fire
losses of others; the insurance
company does not do so. There
fore the community has a dl-
rect interest in keeping down
fire damage to the minimum
and a particular interest in
seeing that incendiary fires
are not tolerated. Every such
fire is a potential argument for
higher insurance premiums.

had been known for some years in
European countries.
Major Monroe of the arsenal staff
said the deterioration primarily was
due to the presence of potassium
bromate in chlorate of potassium. He
said also there We're inequalities in
metals due to a requisitioning of more
in the past year than in two or three
years before. Atmospheric condi-
tions that worked unfavorably on ma
terial that could not be properly stor-
ed through pressure had also con-
tributed.

KEEPING OUR MONEY
MOVING

ut is announced that the
federal reserve board is to
take a stand against long
time bank credits during the
war and request is made for
federal reserve banks to en-
courage 80 day notes in lieu of
six months paper. To make
this policy effective the reserve
banks will cease to rediscount
paper having more than 80
DAYS to run but an exception is
made in the case Of agricultur-
al loans where generally long
er credits are essential. 1t is
we'll that this exception is made
because the curtailment Of fl
nancial credit to farmers would
interfere seriously with the
move for increased production.

the possibility of an additional
