 Two late German inventions in the cause of frightfulness are the relay shell and the bouncing bomb The former is fitted With contact fuse, so that the bursting charge is de- tonated by a five-pound pres sure on the nose of the pro jectiles. Striking a piece of newspaper would set off the charge.
 When the shell bursts it hruls forward about 50 small bombs, the size of hand grenade which themselves fly good distance and explode at contact The effect is much the case as with shrapnel ex- cept that the bombs are much more deadly, each one burst ing into twelve to fifteen hundred parts and scattering bits of steel for distance of many yards.
 The bouncing bombs are dropped by German airplanes.

AS War Lasts
Patron of Racing Plans to
Dispose Of All Horses in
Training and Yearlings

John Sanford, for many years mem
Der OF the State Racing Commission, a
breeder Of thoroughbreds at Amster-
dam and patron of racing, has de-
cided to sell all Of his horses in train
ing and yearlings.
The yearlings will be disposed of on
Friday evening and the horses in train
ing will be sold to the highest bidder
in the paddock at Belmont Park on
Futurity Day.
The retirement of Mr.. Sanford from
racing cuts away one Of the pillars Of
the turf. No man has devoted more
time to 1t or spent more money to i'm
prove the breed of thoroughbreds.
When lad he became interested in
breeding fine horses and in affairs per-
. tanning to the turf through the interest
Shown in both branches of the sport by
his father, the late General Stephen
Sanford, who was the founder of the
Hurricania Stud.
Because this stud farm stands as
one of the landmarks left by his father
in the development of the thorough
bred, Mr.. Sanford will retain the stall
lions and brood mares.
Mr. Sanford's retirement ia due to
his desire to give all his Time and
attention to winning the war.
He will enter the service of the gov
eminent. When the war is over he will
again become a patron of the turf.

occasionally make mistakes that prove

have won. But Powers, careless of the

Crest Hill. on which Crawford saved
three lengths by hugging the inside po-

clever piece of work that he managed
