Washington. February 19.--In the lcourse of another argument today be- fore the Senate naval committee as to the relative worth of capital ships and flying machines, high naval of lficers disclosed that bomb weighing f 600 pounds and loaded with INT had lbeen exploded recently aboard the old Ipatt1eship Indiana without destroying tany part of the vessel below it's pro tective deck.
 The explosion. the officers said, !wouid not have sunk the ship and did lnot damage her below the water line, despite the fact that her hull was not ineariy so strong as those of modern 1superdreadnaughts
 The officers were called before the icommittee after Read Admiral Will Lliam F. Fullam, retired, former SUI tperintendent of the naval academy, Ihad urged suspension of part of the l191s building programme to determine the future value of capital ships in |visw of the developments of aircraft land submarines.
 The admiral told the committee that |the American navy as now constituted Twas "a one plane affair."" with surface fships only. was disorganized and un- lprepared for war. He urged that the lInoney sa Oed by suspended work be Fgiyer- to the immediate development !of the air forces and submarines so that the navy might speedily be con- verted into what he called three- |plane fighting machine.'' composed of |battIeships, aircraft and submarines URGES CONTINUANCE

 pointed out that it had asked Congress Ito provide for two speedy airplane
 carriers to serve with the fleet.
 "The board said Admiral Coontz,
 "approves experiments in bombing and with torpedoes at sea on battleships
 under radio control between now and
 June 1, and we must study the effect carefully. The board does not believe;
 We should let up on battleships or battle cruisers. Every one should be

TODAY,S THRILLER
By Associated Press


 New York. February 19.-Amer- ica's alcoholic aridity caused terri ble storm in midocean today. Tor rents of Italian idioms and thunder ing comments on near beer drenched the ether with such wireless mes sage as no one ever received be- fore. It made the well-known tenn pest ia teapot look trifling.
 The radio disturbance emanated from the steamer Vindobona which recently left this port, and it ended in the offices of the ships agents here. These agents. when the Italian crew complained that it's wine ration had become exhausted, provided the best available substitute before the ship sailed
 Never againr' cracked over the wireless today after the sailors pro- gressed 6o3 miles with nothing but near beer and water to quench their thirst. We pledge ourselves never to return to America while it's laws against good wine remain in force. We will see that no crew ever brings the Vindobona back to meet the hor- TOTS we have met. Never again,' v The ships agents hoped the crew meant what it said about never com- ing back. When the sailors were in New II ork, the agents explained. they demanded long shore leaves, theatre tickets galore, newspapers in three languages delivered on deck each morning. and new clothes to wear on Broadway and Fifth avenue.
 Then, after they had been to sea two days, they forced the skipper to put back to port claiming that the ship was leaking. When they re- turned to New York they complained that their wine was gone. Thumbs went down on all talk of supplying liquids compatible with changes in the Constitution. Finally the crew grudgingly accspted1 15o cases of near beer and once more went to sea.

PRESERVE EGGS IN SOLUTION
Where Sodium SlIicate Is Not Handy
Lime Water Is Satisfactory and
Very Cheap.

Sodium silicate, or water-glass, Is
the most convenient preservative in
which to store eggs for winter use, but
where lime is easily procurable, lime
water is very satisfactory and much
cheaper than water-glass. Lime water
is apt to roughen the shells Of the
eggs slightly, making the eggs some
what less attractive In appearance
than water-giass. Directions for using
this lime water are given by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture
To preserve with lime, dissolve two
pounds Of unslaked lime in a small
quantity Of water, and dilute with five
gallons of water that has previously
been boiled and cooled. Allow the
mixture to stand until the lime settles,
then skim OF, and use the clear liquid.
Put clean. fresh, unwashed eggs in a
clean earthenware crock or jar and
pour the clear lime water into the yes.
sci until the eggs are covered. At least
two inches Of the solution should cover
the top layer of eggs. Keep the re-
ceptacle tightly covered to prevent
evaporation and also to keep all for
eign material out Of the solution.
