BOMB FAILURE
 PROBE UNDERWAY
By Review I.eased wIrel

WASHINGTON. July 23.-WhfIe waiting the result of the official in- quiry into the failure Of naval airpIane bombs to explode when dropped in the attacks by naval aviators on the German submarine of the New Eng. land coast Sunday. the navy depart ment Is making a thorough inspection of it's entire stock of these projectiles to determine the reliability of detona- ton. At the same time the ordnance bureau Of the army has taken under consideration the alteration Df the bombs used in aerial operations so as to increase the certainty of their ex- ploding.
 Secretary Daniels said today that a very low percentage of bombs which fail to explode has beend iscovered thus far in the navy's tests. In fact reports on file show that the United States has met with a much lower percentage of failures than any of the allied nations
 It was explained that the naval in- quiry is not intended so much to de termine the failure of the avfatOrs to damage the submarine of Orleans as to make certain that the store of pro Jectiles Is ready for efficient service. It is definitely known that one of the two bombs dropped last Sunday struck so far from the target that it would not have damaged the submarine had an explosion occurred No information IS available as to the accuracy ob- tained in the second attempt
 Reports to the navy department show that the fine results are being obtained in the use of the depth bomb originated and perfected by the Amer ican navy. The assertion has been heard in we'll informed circles that this weapon is second to none in ef- fectiveness among those being used against the submarine.

sOBRIHTY AND FUEL.

An angle Of the liquor problem that
is sometimes ignored in prohibition
discussions is brought into promi-
nence bg the action of the Pittsburgh
Vein Operators Association of Ohio.
This big group of coal producers has
petitioned the President to abolish
the sale Of all intoxicants for the per-
iod OF the war, not as a political or
moral measure, but for efficiency"
The operators say there is an inn
mense loss in fuel production result
ing from the failure OF employees to
work on days preceding and following
Holidays and Immediately after semi
monthly pay days The loss in the
Pittsburgh Vein district alone on
July 5. due to the alcoholic aftermath
of the Fourth, was estimated at 10000
tons. Such losses are especially de-
precated in view of the threatened coal
famine.
The operators do not conflne their
interest 10 their own industry. ut is
our unanimous opinion" they say, in
their letter to the President, that the
only way to correct the evil is to cor
rect the cause; that patriotic appeals
on one side cannot cope with liquor
on the other; that the elimination of
drinking places. at least for the period
of the war. will add 10 per cent or
more to the production of the things
necessary for the carrying on of the
war"
Here is a direct challenge TO the
opinion expressed by certain repre-
sentatives of the shipbuilding industry.
It is not pleasant to believe that
American worIkmen of any class are
so incapacitated by the use of drink
that they cannot do their best for
themselves and their country in this
grave emergency. But facts are facts.
If the operators are right, there can be
no question as to the proper policy to
pursue.

THE PRICE OF WHEAT.

There is no evidence that American
farmers in general are disgruntled by
the Presidents veto of the S2.40 wheat
price guarantee put into the agricul-
tural appropriation bill by Congress.
Any farmer. no doubt, would rather
get S2.40 a bushel for his wheat than
$2.20. But an honest farmer knows
and admits that the price already es-
tablished is fair, even reckoned on a
basis of abnormal war rates.
Moreover, as the President says, our
farmers do not altogether depend
upon stimulation of price to do their
utmost TO serve the nation and the
world in this time of crisis" The
proof OF that statement is the present
bumper wheat crop, which was sown
and is being reaped under the stimulus
of nothing more than S2.20 a bushel
plus patriotism.
II the present price is just to the
farmer. the consumer has been saved
by the Presidents veto from an un-
lust burden of considerable dimen-
sions. The President, advised by grain
experts, says that the proposed addi-
ton Of 20 cents bushel by Congress
would increase the price of -four TO
the extent Of 81 a barrel, and take

VISITS ANNAPOLIS

Heinrich Chatin- Holman, the we'll
known artist, now visiting Annapolis,
has been of late touring the country
in some of his spectacular dance
dramas. In Washington, where he is
the director of the Countess Lykouski's
Open-Air Theatre. he played 'Thada, .
a new modernistic mimochama, writ
ten for him by the famous writer and
critic, James Buckingham Bashears,

when he fell from his aeroplane.
Mr.. Bashears was an enthusiast of
the neo-modern movement as founded
by Mr.. Chatin-Hofmann
Last season Mr. Chatin-Hofmann
presented some of his minor episodes
here and therefore his work for the
Red Cross has some local interest.

LESS BAGGAGE.

Travelling statesmen are asked to
carry less baggage. II the whole
sale houses do not voluntarily cut
down the number of sample trunks
sent out with their drummers, Director
General McAdoo will enforce some
sort of trunk-rationing system.
Last year there were 24,000000 sam
pie trunks carried on American rail-
roads. They constituted 80 per cent
OF the free baggage carried. Any re-
duction of such a general burden eff
fects desirable saving of labor,
equipment and money. There is a
good specific reason. however, for
limiting the number of trunks. There
are no longer enough baggage cars to
carry them. There are only $500
baggage cars altogether in the coun-
try, and great many of them have
been withdrawn and made over into
dining cars for troop trains.
The curtailment is not expected to
cause any real hardship. 1t will
merely entail change OF methou'
Instead of carrying so many varieties,
a salesman is expected to carry few
basic samples. with pictures and ac-
curate descriptions of the rest.
This is right along the line of
another big change that is coming
about in the art Of salesmanship-the
curtailment of travelling itself The
tendency is more and more to sell
goods not by personal visitation, but
by the use OF comprehensive and at
tractive catalogues. with the free use
of the mails, telegraph and long dis
lance telephone.
All these innovations tend to reduce
the demands on transportation, and
are therefore desirable from the pub
lie standpoint.
