HOW DEPTH BOMB STARTED
British Admiral Responsible for Wea-
pom That Revolutionized Anti
submarine Warfare.

New York.--How the submarine
depth bomb, familiarly referred to as
"ash can," came into being to revolu-
tionize antisubvnarne warfare was re-
lated here by Rear Admiral William s.
Sims, commander during the war Of
the American naval forces overseas.
Rear Admiral Sir Charles Edward
Madden, chief of staff to Admiral Jel-
licoe, was the author Of the idea, Ad-
miral Sims said. giving as his authority
Admiral Jellicoe.
The idea came to Admiral Madden,
he continued while the British officer

was aboard cruiser which sighted
submarine. The cruiser gave chase, he
said. but as 1t drew near the submarine
submerged. Admiral Madden, cha
grinned at the cruisers failure to "get"
the submarine, exclaimed:
"Why wouldn't it be good idea to
work up some sort of a device to
drop on these Huns2"
Other officers approving the plan, the
cruiser put back to port, where the
idea was presented to Admiral Jellcoe.
He approved the plan, and muDition
experts were put to work devising the
fash can"
The depth bombs evolved contained
800 pounds of trinitrotoluol and were
capable of wrecking submarine.

INSURANCE

Az last the motorist is getting "his"
III having the cost Of a most valuable
automobile adjunct reduced, instead of
going up, along with the H. c. of L.
and almost everything else he lays
hand to.
Automobile insurance rates, as pro-
vided by the Automobile Club of
Southern California, are now twenty
five percent less than they were last
year, this sweeping reduction having
been made by the big motoring or
ganization on September lst.
Motorists now applying to the Au-
tomobilc Club will find that they may
secure insurance on fire, theft, COLI
sion or property damage at rates 25
cents on the dollar less than those pro-
vided by outside corporations which
are accountable to stockholders for a
profit, according to Miller B. Tow
man, local representative of the Club.
Reductions in insurance rates have
been made by the Club from time to
time ever since he insurance depart
ment was inaugurated in 1912, until,
within the last seven years, Southern
California motorists have been saved
! in excess of $4,00O,000 by the process
At the present time of the 10000
estimated insured motor owners in
the southern part of California, the
Automobile club has 10000 and in fact
that this large number is insured by
their own club is responsible for the
reducing of the rate here. according
to Secretary Mitchell.
These insured nemier5 were saved
1896, 6,545.00 last year by the club on
insurance alone, bringing the total
amounts saved to club members since
the department was opened, to SOFA
1000. These amounts have been saved,
according to the officials, because of
the reduced rates made possible by
the elimination of heavy overhead ex-
ranse and the fact that there is no
Profit for stockholders.
According to the local branch, To-
Gated at 1873 North Fifth street, it is
the auto owners themselves, in availing
themselves of the club insurance, that
have made the recent reduction pos
sible, and now they reap added bene-
fits.
