than such news has stirred up in the
past.
The tar-like oil encascd the feet of
the kiddies, oozing out between the toes
and gathering sand until each foot
looked like some strange vegetable
formation. Nor was the plight confined
to the hundreds of children. Everybody
who rushed into the surf or strollcd up
the beach hcedlessly got it. When,
later, some one sighted what looked
like an old feather mattress washing
in behind the "tar" there was real
flight to safety.
"Ain't Henry tanned?" exclaimed a
wife from Winsted, down for the K

condemnation of the brown mixture.

Two Ships Launched
At Kearny Yards

Two more units were added to Uncle
Sans growing merchant marine when
the hulls of the Bologan and the
Bugaya were launched yesterday after
noon at the Foundation Company's S
shipyards on the Passaic River, near
kearny, N. j.
This makes seven ships that have
been launched at these yards since the
first keel was laid down a year ago.
Officials of the company say the yards
hold the record for The Atlantic coast.
The hulls went down the ways less
than thirty minutes apart. Prepara-
tions were begun Immediately for lay
ing keels for more ships, so that the
yards programme of producing one
ship a month may be kept up.
The hulls ares of wood and are for
cargo vessels of $500 tons of the Fer
ris type. They are to be turned over
to the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
There are more than 1,125,OO0 feet of
timber in each ship.
After the launching honor medals
were presented to 1881 workmen. Each
medal bears the names of the ships
which the men had helped to build
The system of giving medals was re-

President to Fix
$2.26 as Price of
1919 Crop of Wheat
Especial Dispatch to The Tribu,.e)


WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-President
Wilson will issue proclamation in
few days fixing the price of The 1919
wheat crop at 1926 at Chicago. This
means continuance of the present gov
ernment guarantee next year includ-
ing the advances approved sol 9 weeks
ago. to absorb freight rate Increases
promulgated by the railroad admin s
tration.
Officials of the Department of Agri-
culture view the extension of the 81 26
guarantee during 1919 essential as an
evidence of good faith toward the
wheat producer. 1t is estimated there
will be a surplus of 100000, 900 bushels
of American wheat over and above the
supplies necessary for this country and
the Allies out of the 1918 crcp.
1t is also pointed out there are 400
100000 bushels of surplus wheat in
Australia and a great harvest is ex-
pected in the Argentine. Both of these
supplies will become Immediately
available at the conclusion of the war
at price close to 81 per bushel.
Continuance of the present guar
antee therefore assures the American
farmer of 1926 for every bushcl of
wheat produced and harvested in this
country up to July l. 1920

Oil and Tar From Mysterious
Source Strew City's Beaches

A new form of German frightful-
Beach, Manhattan Beach and adjacent
bathing resorts, bringing the fact that
there is a war on somewhere in Europe
closer to some tens of thousands of
New Workers. and visiting brethren than
any other single incident up to date.
Gas attacks by water, such as stirred
the Southern coast some weeks ago,
may be annoying, but it takes a crude
oil and tar attack by the same route
really to make a mess of a coast resort.
Doubling this, all one has to do is to
take note on returning Coney trains Of
thousands of men, women and children
who went down to the beach for bath
returning dirtier than ever.
Black and tan daubs of what looked
like common tar adorned the cheeks
and noses of mystifed children; the
frocks of a multitude of mothers set
the style for new and highly original
idea in camoufage; the light hosiery
and white shoes of hundreds of young
women bore evidences Of contact with
something very black, and many male
person with none too much hair spent
the entire trip home trying to work a
glue-lke substance out OF his remain
ing locks.
All of which was nothing compared
with the scene in the privacy Of many
homes last evening when men, women
and children, aforementioned, scraped
away at various parts of their anatomy
with utensils varying from putty knives
to manicure sets in a desperate and
highly discouraging effort to pry off
the remains of the strangest cargo
ever brought in by the sea at the height
of bathing season.
Consequently it is a safe bet from
now on that the news of the torpedoing
of an oil tanker by German submar
inc anywhere in the world but particu
larly in the vicinity of New York, will
be noted with infinitely more distress

To match their tuneful mirth;
And birds and dancers rioting in
