FIRST MOON ROCKET
OFF BY SUMMER
Powder Flash Will Show Earth
Where It Lands, Says Prof.
Goddard.

WORCESTER. Mass, Jan. 2s.-First
trials Of the rocket which II is hoped
will reach the moon will be held early
this summer. 1t is announced by Prof.
Robert H. Goddard, OF Clark Un!ver-
sity. the inventor. 1t will be desgn med
so 1t will give off a flash when it
strikes that will be seen from the
earth. The Smithsonian Institution is
financing him up to $4,000. Beyond
this he is forced to finance himself,
and he frankly states that he hopes
some one sufficiently interested will
give aid.
The propelling force of the rocket
would be smokeless powder. The gases
would be elected from the rocket at
high velocity, and with each sue
cessive explosion the rocket would be
boosted higher. He explained that to
reach an altitude of twenty five miles
q rocket weighing twenty-five pounds
would be necessary. OF the total
weight about seventeen pounds would
be powder.
He calculates that with an initial
mass charge weighing 6.438 pounds ne
could cause an explosion on the sur
face Of the moon large enough to be
seen from the earth through tele-
scope. This rocket would travel 5000
or 1000 feet a second.

.U.S,EMP[OYES
. IN TARIFF TRAP
Workers Claim Minimum Wage
Bill Is Used as Club by Con-
gress Filibusters.

Charging a "double-barreled fili-
buster" against the Johnson-Nolan
minimum wage bill and the emerg-
ency tariff bill. the Government EN-
ployes, led by the National FEEDER
alton of Federal Employees, this
morning turned their big guns TO

alleged conspiracy 'of little group
of Democrats"
REFUSE CONSENT TO VOTE.
Although there have been days OF
debate on the wage measure. SEN
ator Dial OF South Carolina and SEN

Then came the confusion Of names
again. Lieutenant Ames was mis-
taken for Lieutenant Amis- Anxious
friends, hearing of the crash, called
up Lieutenant Ames to md how badly
he was hurt or to congratulate him
on his miraculous escape from death.
Consequently Lieutenant Ames waa
probably shocke ed to learn that he
had been in a bad crash and had
escaped by a miracle. and all that
sort OF thing.
SAVED EXPLANATIONS.
The fortunate part Of the matter
was that Lieutenant Amis. who prob
ably felt like anything but talking
about the crash. was saved from ex-
planning sixty three or so times how
IL had happened, and "yes, II was q
narrow escape" and SO on, ad In
finitum
The brunt fell on Lieutenant Ames,
who acquitted himself nobly. though
he had quite a trying time of 1t ex-
planning to everybody he knew that
he wasn't the man to be congratu-
lated on escaping and that he didn't
feel battered up. or anything like
that-no, really"
Anyhow, Lieutenant Amis has re-
covered from the crash completely
and Is once more feeling mt as q

covered from the ordeal of assuring
folks he hadn't smashed up, after all
and everything is rosy-until the

DRY APPROPRIATION
HELD INVESTMENT
Will Return More Than Cost,
Says Wheeler, Asking for
$7,500,000.

"An appropriation of S7.500,o00 for
the enforcement of national prohibi-
ton is the best investment Congress
can make" Wayne B. Wheeler, Of the
Anti-Saloon League, declared today
before the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
'Tt is more important to sustain
the Constitution and enforce the law
than to save a few thousan dollars"
he declared. when the law is de-
stroyed. all is gone in orderly gov
ernment"
The House appropriated $7,100.0o0
for prohibition enforcement; the drys
ask for 100000 more, the full amount
requested by the Federal enforcement
department. "This Is needed" con-
tended Mr.. Wheeler, "in order to care
for the present force. The field agents
who gather the evidence should be
better paid. They cannot unless the
appropriation is increased.
"They are in a dangerous and DIFF
ficult field OF work. Fewer than
one half per cent of the men under
arms in the last war, lost their lives.
A larger per cent Of the men who do
the field work in gathering this evil
dence have been killed. These men
enter the service at $1,000 per year.
They have extra expenses to meet.
They cannot live comfortably on this
wage. TSe Government has no right
to ask them to work for this salary,
knowing the dangers and temptations
to graft that they meet.
"The Federal Government should
provide an adequate appropriation,
even II there was no return in fines.
1t is different from any other appro-
priation because IL returns to the
Government more than is paid out for
the service. This Is why II is false
economy to deny the present request"
