perts the success or failure of any
marriage is altogether a matter Of
the wife's culinary skill: if love flies
out the window it is invariably the
pantry window. On this theory a
successful marriage is not so much
the union Of two minds as the mar
riage Of a good cook to the possessor
Of an appreciative digestion. Yet
there have been notably happy mar
riages where the wife was not COM
petent cook, such as the well known
case Of the Brownings. There is
little to show that the frail poetess
could cook. Yet she evidently knew
something Of housekeeping, for she
rarely changed servants. Very nee

Daniels to Christen
$5,00o,ooo Dry Dock
At Pearl Harbor
Part of Admiral Rodman's
Pacific Fleet Will Take
Part at Official Exercises
at Honolulu August 25

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The Of
fetal opening of the navy drydock at
Pearl Harbor, near Honolulu, late this
month, will mark the successful COM
pletion of one of the most difficult
engineering projects ever undertaken
by the United States government. The
immense dock represents a total in
vestment of more than 100000 and
has been under construction for ten
years. Secretary of the Navy Daniels
will officiate at the christening of the
dock about August 25.
The dock is completed just in time
to add a much needed facility for care
of the ships of the Pacific fleet. The
first vessel to enter the dock will
probably be one of the dreadnoughts
of Admiral Rodman's force, possibly
the New Mexico. The dock is 1901
wide at the bottom and 1873 feet wide
at the top. 1t will dock the largest
ship Of war now afoat or contem-
plated.
After the sections Of the dock had
been finished and were being anchored
in their places in 1913 the water was
pumped out whereupon the bottom of
dock was forced upward by pressure
from the sides and the engineers and
workmen were forced to stand help
lessly by and watch the fruits of four
years of labor and millions of dollars
of money crushed into a shapeless mass
of debris.
A new plan Of construction on a
much greater scale was then adopted.
Concrete sections sixty feet long and
the full width of the dock were cast
one at time and lowered to the bot
tom of the dry dock securely anchor
ing it. Then the great structure was
built. Early in March this year the
dock was pumped out for the first time
The upward pressure of the bottom
had been overcome and the structure
rose but three sixteenths of an inch
when perfectly dry.

New Device Helps
Filler to Set Speed
Mark Above Clouds
Schroeder, Plane Equipped
With Super Charger,
Makes 137 Miles an Hour
at Height of 18,4OO Feet

!. DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 2.-Major R.
w. Schroeder, army aviator, to-day set
a new worlds speed record for high
attitudes, it is claimed, when he flew at
rate of 1871 miles an hour at height
of $4,000 feet He used two seated
Lepere biplane, designed by Captain
Lepere, of the French army. 1t was
equipped with twelve cylinder Liberty
Meter and a super charger. Lieutenant
G. w. Elfcy, expert aeronautic observer
was passenger.
According to Captain B. G. Patter-
son. in charge of the performance COM
putatIon at McCook Field, this latest
development will have marked eff
feet on aerial navigation, because it
will enable pilot to fly at full speed
and full power above the storm zone.
1t will also be potent in transoceanic
flights, he says, and would make easy
nonstop trip between New York and
Chicago, regardless of weather condi-
tions.
The super-charger is an attachment
consisting Of gas turbine and centri-
fugal compressor deriving its power
from the red hot exhaust gases of the
Liberty Motor. 1t feeds the compressed
air into the carburetor at the same
pressure as at sea level so there is no
lack of oxygen regardless of altitude
1t was designed by DR.. Sanford A.
Moss.

Two Unhurt in 2,OOO-Ft.
Fall of Burning plane
Machine Turns Over and Over
and Takes Plunge Into
OYSTER Bay

OYSTER BAY, L. l., Aug. 2.-Dis-
abled 1000 feet in the air, with flying
sparks threatening to burn up their
airplane, two army avators turned
over and over for 1900 feet, took a
nose dive into Oyster Bay for 200 and
escaped without scratch. The fiiers
are Lieutenant John w. Frost, adopted
son of Ernest A. Bigelow, of 20 East
Fifty-sixth Street, Manhattan, who has
a summer home at Oyster Bay, and Ser
geant Carl D. Colman. Both are men,
bers of the United States Army Avia-
ton Corps at Mineola.
The two went up to test a Curtiss
H. shortly before noon. When they
were 1000 feet in the air the engine
fouled. Sparks from the plugs shot
out around them and it was feared that
they would ignite the gas, and oil. The
engine was shut down and an attempt
was made to glide to earth. Almost
Immediately the machine began to turn
over. 1t was unmanageable until with
in 200 feet of the waters Of Oyster
Bay. when it was taken under control
The men then dived straight into
the water and were Carried under. The
crews of two oyster boats rescued them
and they were landed at the estate of
Frederic r. Coudert. Army mechanics
rescued the plane.

Fight on Potash Embargo
Due to German Agents
State Department Anxious to
Protect Industry Built Up
Here in the War

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-German
agents are largely responsible for the
efforts being made to have the en-
barge on potash importations lifted, it
was learned to-day at the State De-
partment. Officials are investigating,
and it was said to-day that they might
be able to shut out the German product
until the American industry built up
during the war was in better POSITION
to meet foreign competition.
Information in possession of the de-
partment shows that as soon as the
armistice was signed German agents
became very active in their efforts to
secure permission to get into the mar
ket again.
American fertilizer manufacturers
are said to be anxious to secure the
cheap German product and the State
Department is endeavoring to compro-
mise the situation by proposing that
the fertilizer manufacturers use certain
proportions of American potash in their
manufactures, importing the remainder
from either France or Germany.
