Ever since certain ill-advised en-
thus, asts in the United States and
in England proclaimed the doom of
the capital ship because of the men
ace of bombs from the air, a contro~
versy has waged between the advo-
Gates and opponents of that theory.
The Ostfriesland experiment was the
only one in which capital ship was
attacked with live bombs and the
facts it revealed are highly s:gnici-
cant although not conclusive. It was
demonstrated that 1000 and 1000
pound bombs, in their present state
Of development, will not pentrate the
protective decks of a battleship and
that their explosive effect is limited
to the immediate vicinity of their
impact. The Ostfriesland was direct
ly hit three times by bombs of L.
900 pounds and once by a 1000
FOUNDER. Large holes were torn in
the upper decks and the forced draft
system of the boilers was put out of
commission, but the protective deck
was not pentrated, nor was any vital
part Of the ship affected.
con the other hand it apparently
was proven that half a ton of high
"Xplosive detonated below the water
life fifty feet 70 less from a battle
chips hull will give her a fatal
wound. In the first days bombing
the hull of the Ostfriesland was bad
V racked by a number of smaller
bombs that had exploded near her
ides. When on the second day a 2,
900 nOund bomb, carrying half that
wei~ht Of T. N. T., burst close to the
wekaened hull the effect was imme.
1iate, and in twenty minutes the shir
had sunk.
But now as to the probability OF
such a hit in actual combat with ar
enemy ship. The planes operating
AGAINST the Ostfriesland in the fina
attack flew at height of only 1,70C
feet: their Inc of flight was direct
d from stem to stern, thereby in
crea ING By about eight times the
chances of a hit if compelled to fly
transversely across the ship, a:
would probably be the case if she
were free to manuever at will; small
sighting bombs were dropped before
the big missiles were let go; there
wa only one vessel to be attacked
whereas in an enemy force there
would be several; the doomed shil
| was anchored and could neither re
ply with anti-aircraft guns throw ou
a smoke screen, or maneuver at higl
speed. Were an actual engagement
between belligerent battleships anc
aircraft to take place involving al
those factors, a hit such as that reg

man boat would be by the meres
chance. The menace would not b

"But a certain menace does exist,
The Bozeman courier., 1921-08-03
From the New York Herald)

A good many men and women have
been complaining this month about
the heat. The weather has not con-
tributed to our comfort, but it has
not been nearly as bad this year as
It has been in other years.
In 1901, for instance, it was so hot
the public believed firmly that high
atmospheric temperature was rspon-
sible for breaking nine suspension
rods which in July "a were discover
ed to have parted on the Brooklyn
bridge. The bridge was closed for
some time and residents of Long Is
land had hard job getting home.
Mr.. Martin, the bridge engineer, felt
it necessary to issue statement ex-
planning that the hot weather had
not caused the suspension rods to
break.
New York suffered discomfort that
year, but the corn country came close
to disaster. The hot days and nights
of June and July-100 degrees and
higher were common thermometer
records-burned up the corn and
brought the country closer to a corn
crop disaster than It had ever been
or ever has been since. In 1900 the
crop was 2,1O5, 100000 bushels, rails
ed on 8O,854,000 acres. In 1901. from
9135O,00O acres, only 1,522, $4,000
bushels were harvested This crop
was about the same in quantity as
the average annual yield of corn in
the period of 1876-1885 from 60,742,-
800 acres.
Twenty years ago we had hot
wave worth talking about.

them out SO effectively reflects great
credit upon the naval. and military
branches of the government. The ex-
perimentsc were in no sense a con-
test between air and water forces,
despite the tendency of various press
reports to convey the impression.
The purpose of this last exercise,
read the official memorandum issued

to obtain material information con-

URGES EQUALITY
FOR ALL HEALERS
Delegation Fears DisCrImi-
nation Under Bill for Public
Welfare Department.

Representatives of the Citizens Pro-
tective Association Of Washington. D.
c., appearing Friday before the joint
meeting of the Senate and House COM
mittees on education and labor con-
sidering the FeSs Kenyon bill for a
department of public welfare. urged
that the bill be amended 50 as to make
it impossible for such a department
to discriminate against any school of
medicine or healing.
Mrs h V Johnson. representing tho
association. which she said was form
ed about week ago and has 100
members. called the attention of the
joint committee to QueStonnalre
which she said was recently sent out
through the local health departme Mt
asking school children if they had
cleaned their teeth. shined their shoes,
etc. She protested that the parents
of the school children should have
full rights to supervise them and
should not be interfered with by the
health authorities.
Discuss Children's Bureau.
Mrs. William l.. Putnam of Massa-
chusetts urged upon the committee
that the childrens bureau should be
placed under that branch of the de-
partment of public welfare dealing
with public health, rather than that
branch dealing with social service
She insisted that the work of the
childrens bureau dealt essentially
with health.
Samuel Solomon criticised ouaran-
tine measures and what he character
lied as propagan nda for the so-called
regular medical profession by the
health department. He insisted that
all healers should be treated alike by
the government.
Mrs. Jessie Jenkins also urged upon
the joint committee the necessity of
protecting all Gchools of healing and
of preventing determinations against
any of them under the ending bill.
An amendment proposed by Arthur
Macdonald would have included in
the proposed division of social serv-
ice authority to study from the scien-
tifc point of view the causes "of
those evils from which it is designed
to protect scientists"
Discusses ChiIdren's Bureau.
THE purpose of this amendment
said Mr.. Macdonald. lis to authorize
scientific research into the cause of
those evils which social service seeks
to remedy. and. with view to
lessening the evils themselves The
history of reform will show that the
number of individuals whose welfare
is sought is usually increased The
anne enoment is designed 10 counteract
such an increase by knowledge
gained through scientific study of
causes"
Members of the joint committee
expressed themselves as favorably
impressed with the amendment pro-
posed by Mr.. Macdonald. Charles II.
Verrill. a member of the United
States Employees Compensation Com
mission, which the pending bill pro-
poses to place under the new de-
partment of public welfare, argued
in favor of an independent commits
sion. He contended that there were
advantages to the employees in hav-
ing their claims considered by an in
dependent comm ission rather than
through a department bureau. The
nearing will be continued next We'd
