Center Of Navy Experiments
With Explosives.

In connection with the army par
ticipation in bombing raids on sea-
craft. to be conducted late in June
by the navy. II was announced today
that to date more than twice the
weight of bombs dropped by the en-
tire American Expeditionary Forces
have been dropped at the Aberdeen
Proving Grounds station alone.
On April 4. and S. il was an
nounced. 1856 pounds OF bombs
were dropped by the operating per-
sonnet of Flight 3D." Fourteenth
squadron. which consists OF six Of
ficers and sixty-three enlisted men.
That bombing is not without its
thrills was amply demonstrated at
this field a few days ago, when a
missing motor on the take-off neces-
Stated dropping two 30O-pound
bombs on the edge of the flying
field from an altitude of less than
fifty feet. The bombs bounced along
the ground on their sides and when
examined 1T was found that one
safety had failed, resulting in a
slight dent on a illuminate detouator.
An explosion was thus averted. al
most by a miracle officers declared.
Had the bomb exploded the plane
would undoubtedly have been brought
crashing to the ground by the force
OF the explosion and hangers foe
many yards on either side would
have been destroyed.

Popularity Of Plaza Quarters
( Even Greater Today Than
During War Time.

SO popular have the Government
dormitories on the Union station

Is greater today than during war

1t has been thought that with the

The total registration of the dorm
itories today Is 1878. and every room
is occupied. There Is a waiting lisr
OF 800. On this day last year the
registration was 1877.
The dormitories OFFER such facilities
as parlors, iounging rooms and gen
eral hotel service that the old time
Government clerk could not get with
private residents, and the advantage
Of the dormitories soon became evil
dent to them.
Mrs. Sarah Sumner. general man

tration largely by the fact that all
the buildings are now operating.
While such was not the case during
the war. In the first four months
after the Armistice only four were
open and the following March. six.
Last year at this time the reg istra-
ton was equal to that of today, but
then many war workers were still in

Anti Prohibition Kf-

Anxiety
(By Associated Pressl

Copenhagen, Aug. 5.-Spain s anti
prohibition attitude is causing econ,
omic anxiety in more than one ''drv''
or partly dry country. Threats OF
tariff pressure, trade boycotts and
other steps in behalf of the manufac
turer and sale Of Spanish wines are
having their effect notably in Iceland
and Finland. Norway alone seems I'M
pervious to foreign, ''wet''' attacks''
The 1celanders are worried, accord
ing to the Politiken, by the decision
of Spain to increase customs duties
on Icelandic fish unless the prohibi-
tion law is altered to allow the I'M
portation and consumption of Spanis..
wines below 21 percent Of alcohol.
Spain s decision spells ruin to the
Icelandic fish export, says the Poll
tiken s Iceland correspondent, who
sazss~-he understands the government
Of Ireland intends to introduce bill
allowing the importation and consump-
tion Of wine below the stipulated al
coholic content Prohibitienists have
already started political campaign
in Iceland against such a policy.
1t is reported that the Helsingfors
government intends shortly to intro
duce a bill which will greatly curtail
the powers of the present Finnish pro
hibition act The Norwegian govern
ment, however, is taking an exactly
opposite attitude IN eXpediting their
