GOOD SCORES AT
 " RIFLE CLUB MEET

The regular monthly shoot of the Phoenix Rifle club scheduled to have been held the last Sunday in January. but which was postponed because oi rain was held yesterday. Charles A. Sheldon, the new executive officer, acted for the first time. He was elected to the position at the annual meeting in January. Some surprising and un- looked for results were obtained, chief of which was the possible hung up by Dr. Geo. H. Woodall at two hundred yards in Class C. and after his promo ton to Class B he distinguished him self with a score of 93 out of possible 100, and later in the day shot in second place in the Class A match. Harold Altenburgh put up the remarkable score of 46 out of a possible at 1000 yards.
 The club had as guests John Sanders representing the Remington Arms union metallic cartridge company and Lieut. Frank Luke, Jr. of the aviation corps The leading scores in detail | follow:

SMELLS HAVE NOT
 BEEN CLASSIFIED
(LOndOn Iancet)


 An approach has been made many times. but with little success, to the establishment of a system of nomencla- ture comparable for smells with the classification which we have been able to set up in the cases of the senses of seeing and hearing. The fact is that so far, smells have not been capable of the analysis which is possible with light and sound. In both these cases we have gamVt or a law of octaves, as also with the atomic weights in chemistry, and perhaps some day a similar analysis in regard to odors will be forthcoming.
 At present we are without a nomen- clature, and everybody experiences the difficulty of describing a smell We have to be content to say that a given smell resembles another smell which is more or less familiar The fact is that the sense of smell has been the least cultivated of the senses, and it is just possible that if the subject had received the same attention as have the senses of hearing and sight the study of odors would have reached a higher scientific plant, though, it ap- pears to us, the classification of smells must always suffer from the absence of the mathematical analysis capable in optics and acoustics.

France i'm Need
Of arm, Tools
Delayed Here
Fourteen Thousand Tons
Of Implements Held Up
at This Port

Fourteen thousand tons Of farm I'M
plements consigned to France are tiec
up in New York harbor because Of the
lack OF ships to carry them across the
Atlantic Meanwhile, 2.250,000 acres
of arabic land in central and south
crn France, capable of producing vast
quantities of foodstuffs for the Allies
if only it were ploughed and seeded
is lying idle General Pershing is
ANXIOUS that the land be cultivated al
once, and Ambassador Sharp, at Paris
and Ambassador Page, at Rome, have
written to Secretary Of Agriculture
Houston, at Washington, calling attcn-
ticn to the condition.
These facts were disclosed yester-
day by Hugh Reid Griffin, vice prcsi-
dent OF the American Chamber OF
Commerce in Paris, who recently ar
rived from France with a commission
from the French Minister of Agri-
culture, to expedite the shipment OF
farm machinery. Mr Griffin said that
General Pcrshing is enthusiastic over
plans TO extend the farm production of
France, and has already leased lands
for the growing Of vegetables for the
American troops.
Freight Rates Prohibitive
Nh Griffin said that in addition te
the lack Of ships the high freight
charges now in force arc almost pro
hibitivc to the French farmers, anC
he is endcavoring to induce the French
government to have the machinery
shipped on the same freight basis a.
munitions, which is half of the com
mercial rate. The present commercial
rate is S66 a cubic ton. or twenty times
more than before the war.
Two hundred and twenty tons OF
machinery viii produce in France. Mr.
Griffin said, a minimum of !. 500 tons
Of wheat, together with a by-product OF
5000 tons Of straw, and the armies OF
both the United States and France arc
badly in need Of straw for bedding fol
men and draft animals AS an instance
Mr.. Griffin declared that in one hos.
pital alone forty French soldiers this
winter died from pneumonia chiefly be
cause they did not have sufficient straw
bedding.

Unsi11kable Ship
Plan Is Likely
To Be Rejected
Buoyancy Considered No
Preventive Against lr-
reparable Damage

WASHINGTON, March H. Naval
experts anticipate an uniavorable re-
port from the board headed by Rear
Admiral Albert G. Winterhalter, which
has just completed tests of the formc r
Austrian steamer Lucia, which has been
equipped with interior "buoyancy
boxes" designed to make her unsink-
able
That the ship will remain ahoat after
receiving injuries which would sink q
craft of ordinary construction is con-
ceded, but constructors are of the
opinion that the "buoyancy boxes"
would not prevent a torpedo damaging
the vessel to such an extent that she
would be Of no further value as sup
ply ship or cargo carrier
In taking this position, naval en-
ginecrs ndorse the decision alread,,
reached bg the Shipping Board
Proponents of the "buoyancy box
idea are expected to press for its
adoption in the case of army trans
ports, holding that, even if the vessel
when torpedoed settles until her decks
are awash, the lives Of most of those
on board still would be protected. II
is not believed, however, that this ad-
vantage will impress navy constructors
sufficiently to win their indorscmcnt
The Wintcrhalter board, it was said
to-day, is now preparing its official re-
port for Secretary Daniels.
When the "buoyancy box" plan was
proposed to the Shipping Board the
principal objection made was the
time which would be lost in equippinp
ships now in service, as we'll as in
building new vessels. Conservative
estimates were that from 60 to 60 per
cent of reconstruction would be ncces-
sary in the case of vessels in service
and that an appreciable time must be
added to that now required to build
new ships.
In this connection it was learned to-
day that a conference of Allied nava!
constructors, held soon after the Unite j
States entered the war, went thorough
ly into the question of unsinkablc
ships, and that the members, with one
exception, came to the conclusion that
it would be unwise to attempt the con
struction of torpedo-proof craft.

Begin Consideration
Of Big Naval Bill

WASHINGTON, March H. The
House Naval Committee to-day began
consideration of the annual naval ap-
preparation bill, as framed by the
Navy Department and naval sub
committee. The bill carries approxi-
matcly $1,300 000,0O for the navy for
the next fiscal year, but the amount
would be made Immediately available
so the navy can meet emergencies
The measure provides for an in
crease of the enlisted force Of the navy
from 100000 TO $4,000 men and an
increase in the Marine Corps from 3d.
600 to $4,000 officers and men. Some
members favor increasing the marines
to 6Q,0O0 officers and men. with a view
to putting full division in France.
The bill does not change the three
Year building programme adopted by
Congress three years ago. Increases
in the number of dcstroyers, patrol
boats and other special types of craft,
made necessary by the war, have been

examining thoroughly the concrete
project.
Fourfn The ship protection com
mittee Of the Shipping Board is to
begin a study OF the concrete ship
nor adaptation to resist injury from
torpedoes.
Both Senator McCumbcr and Mr..
Robinson were outspokcn in favor of
the idea advanced by The Tribune
Sunday. that the thing to do now is
to start irme ediately to build with all
possible speed at least one hundred
ways for concrete ships. They think
that by the time the ways would be
ready the concrete ship to be launched
at San Francisco on Thursday will
have told the tale Of feasibility. They
both hold that time is too precious to
be wasted N waiting for the outcome
Of the experiments that have been
sanctioned by the Shipping Board. The
situation is such that chance must
re taken on wasting either time or
money, and they think that just now
time is more precious than money.
Mr.. Robinson says that if tho word
were to be given at once to go ahead
with preparations for quantity pro-
duction concrete would be pouring into
the shapes Of many ships within thirty
TO sixty days. He says that there is
absolutely nothing for the workers in
concrete to learn in order to build q
concrete ship. They can be building
bridges to-day and be just efficient
on ships tomorrow.
Concrete Offers New Hope

son, chat a new major department Of

lishcd ct once and placed in the hands
Of the great concrete construction en-
g;necrs Of America, with instructions
to build ships the way they build cdi-

done you would see production results
