shot at him first as they came along
side He also says his little boat was
fairly well peppered with shots and
he had some trouble getting back to
Tort.
1t is understood Paughn's defense
will be that he wa outside the three
mile limit and he shot at the men at
tempting to board his boat because
they displayed nothing to indicate they
were federal officers. One side seems
to have thought robbers were after
them, while the other side claims it
has right to board the boat of liz
uor runner and that if forward by the
American government he resisted, he
violates the law.

OVERCROWDED RETAIL FIELDS-A Con

yressional commission on agriculture is now max
Ing an inquiry into the distributing machinery OF
he country. One Of the principal duties confided
to it, is to investigate the reason why retail prices
are as a whole so much higher than the prices re-
ceivcd by farmers and manufacturers.
The commission has learned that 3,o44,O73 PEG
5e are engaged in retail trade and wholesale trade
There are for instance one retail store and deca-
lessen for tvery 73 families. Ihc chairman o. the
commission expresses the opinion that many lines
81 retail trade are olercrowde l. and thai this ov-
"rcrowding is partly responsible for the big in
crease i'll price which the consumer has to pay the
retailer over the wholesale figure.
One must me impressed in going through large
cities. to see miles and miles of small stores on
each of many different streets. What need is there
for all these little stores? Their distribution cost
is high as they occupy high priced real estate, and
the great majority do not do business enough to
Go it economically.
Many merchants complain that too many people
try to make living in their line They say that
il there were more producers and fewer distr1bu-
tors, goods would be sold at lower price Yet
competition is the life of trade, and if there is nc
rivalry between distributors the public is not apt
to be well served.
The solution of this problem is advertising
'rnerchg tie most en.crprsing dealers c;.i.cen-
trate large trade in their stores and secure suf
ficient volume to do it at low percentage of Op
Grafton cost. Also by advertising they draw
n trade from outside territory, and thus cut dowr
their operating charges still further The more they
advertise. the more the trade comes IL AMI Ii {
more they can reduce their coss AMI t. Air prices

 It was expected that the coroners 8 inquest to be held today would be adjourned after formal identification of the three bodies which were re- covered and the issuance of permits for their removal.

The English law does not per init embalming until after the cor oners inquest, but in deference to the wishes of the American authorities here, the bodies of Lieut. enants Little and Esterly were embalmed lew hours after they were recovered
 The coroner stated this morning he did not believe many more bodies would be found until the wreck of the airShip was raised and searched. Every effort is being made to recover bodies of the victims, and searching parties are maintaining constant lookout on both sides of the Humber for miles above and below Hull.
 John H. Grouth, American consul here, planned to accompany repre- sentatives of the American embassy in London to the coroner's inquest. Members of the American naval de- tachment assigned to the ZR-2 were to be called upon to identity the bod les of their comrades.

EFFICIENCY BUG FINDS POODLE TOP
 CRAZE CAPTURES BANKS DIRECTORS

New York,Aug. 26-This is the day of efficiency and the toddIe top. This being affirmative, the burden of proof rests with the next paragraph
 A most modern efficiency expert, with long training in Scenting errors behind him and a long lose for smell Ing mistakes, was engaged few days ago by one of the largest banking concerns in Manhattan.
 The expert sensed there must be something wrong with the institution II it hried him. He proposed to find it. He spent hours on the company's books and inspecting the amount of pursuit of the uneconomical employe. He associated with the personnel of the bank, and then he discovered something.
 Seventeen Minutes Wasted Daily.
 Exactly seventeen minutes are wasted every day by one-half the em- pIoyes of the concern, the expert found, in the pursuit of pleasure, the lust for gambling via the toddle top The toddle top, as you know, is a young prism on a spindle, each of the octagon's sides bearing such inscrip- tions Put one," Take two" Put all.' Take a1l," etc The idea is that you put in" one cent, one dollar, or one whatever you're playing for, or take out the correspondence medium of exchange.
 The toddle top, as you know, is un- lawful. There's a ban against it. You do, too know it
 Anyway, the efficiency expert wrote out his report. It was submitted to the board of directors of the banking called to consider the todd1e top. The session continued for more than an hour. The efficiency expert tired of waiting. At the end of another half

 MT. Tiffany originally acquired the land as a place to which his boy could 20 to spend week ends out camping with friends. His purpose was to build a bungalow on the place, but the outbreak of war forestalled his plans. Since his sons death he has had no use for the property, and as he says he has no good use for money. there was no reason for him to hold on to it any longer. Accordingly he made his offer to the Scouts some time ago. Yesterday they accepted the gift, the delay being due to the fact that they had to incorporate in order to be able to own the land.
 Gerald s. Pratt scout executive, speaking about the gift yesterday, said that the land would be used as a permanent camp site. It Is located about a mile beyond Reardsley park on Nichols road. The ground at pres ent is covered with a heavy growth which includes many small trees. The plan is to give the scouts some good training by having groups go out to the place to build their own shacks. There will probably first be made some sort of permanent building g which can be used temporarily as a store house and a central camp. This building will be in the nature of a memorial to the boy in whose name the land was given A tablet will be placed in it to recall the memory of the boy whose death made it possible for the scouts to acquire their new Home-

 Burgess had been insistent upon the prosecution of the boys, but failed to show up at Tuesday's hearing despite two telegraInS sent him the day before by Grand Juror D. s. San ford. MT. Knox, a New York lawyer and father of one of the defendants, conducted the defence. He played his trump card when he showed by the town records that in 1909 Bur gess conveyed his interest in the house property to Elizabeth R. Bur gess, then his wife, and had not re- acquired 1t. Therefore the court dis missed the complaint, but directly afterwards the resourceful grand juror caused the boys rearrest on a breach of the peace charge To this their guardian pleaded guilty and the court imposed as a penalty the costs of prosecution and an admonitory lecture

MINIMIZE DIFFICULTY IN
 GETTING AID

Washington. Aug. 26.-Veterans difficulties in obtaining governm ent aid are expected to be greatly min imized by the consolidation of all governmental agencies administering soldier relief under one head - the Veterans Bureau. That is what Colonel Charles R. Forbes, of Seattle. director of the bureau, promises. The day of dual responsibility, of divid- ed authority in the governments dealings with former service men is ended, he says. and troubles of long standing among the veterans will rapidly disappear.
 Responsibility for adjusting claims, attending to medical needs and of ed ucating disabled veterans is defi- nitely fixed under the law creating Veterans Bureau. It rests squarely upon the Director, rather than be- tween the War Risk Insurance Bu-' reau, the Federal Board for Vocation al Training and the Public Health Service, the three agencies that for merly administered aid independent ly.
