PRINCIPLES OF USE OF FIELD -~.- ~- ARTILLERY CONTINUE UNCHANGED
 NOTWITHSTANDING REGENT WAR

WASHINGTON, June 29. - The American army came out of the war with a vast amount of artillery bat ! SUM lacks the ideal types of guns and hdw1tzers wsdch a careful postwar study by army experts indicated to be the most desirable, On the basis eff iahe afeg0ft of the "calxbor board . which made uhis study tin 1918, how ever, existing artillery equipment has been arpontioncd among the troops to approxinlate as nearly as possible ideal conditions
 One striking fact was developed by the 'caFtber 'boardr study, Despite The enormous increase in the amount of artillery used by the contending arnu.cs, the board concluded that "the principle of the use of field artillery continued unchanged. s
 Although the French coined the saving during the war that 'Tfe artillery conquers; the infantry oc- cupies the ground" postwar studies do net confirm this in American mili- taw orfnion which holds that the irsantry armed with rifle and bayonet is the mean line of the army and all other arms designed merely to aid the advance of the foot troops.
 Artillery in War
 As to the e- Increased use of ar tillery during the war, Sir Douglas Harig, Brltish commander, noted in after the war reports that while the proportion of British artillery. per sonnel engaged in the battle of the Somme was about 50 per cent of the infantry, it reached 80 per cent in the Battle of Yprcs in 1917. In the 1916 struggle British guns hurled 13.000 tons of shells in a single day and in 1917 they poured 23000 tons in the German posFionis in the same time.
 The calibcr board found that for the purpose of American field opera .tions there should be six types of weapons, a light weight gun and howitzer to accompany infantry divi- lonS, a medium weight pair for corps
 
 army. The board found that for divisional use, a gun of about 3'inch calibcr firing missiles of man killing characteristic" weighing not more than 20 pounds and with a maximum of 15,00O yards, was ideal but that the American and French 75's, while not exactly filling requirements, formed practical substitute. The army artillery as well as the Ma tBcnal Guand field batteries are now equipped with these weapons sup plomented by some American 3-inch guns.
 As a mate for, ,tlIi.s field glln,, the beard recommended a. 105 anm. wea- pon with range of 10000 yards and IrrojcG'les of 30 to 35 pounds. That type does not exist in the army to- day althOlIgh the 155 mm. howitzer suggested as a substitute is included and was for a time mated with the light field gun. It is regarded as too heavy for divisional uSe, however and ll i9is been eliminated from divisional batteries. sta.s
 The lack of light howitZor is due to the fact that the American army adopted French artillery equipment in the war and the French never were able to turn their attention to this weapons production in tho stress of

 Principal Causes
 The principal causes of accidental death among children, the Institute says, are fire, drowning and the auto mobile. The child of about seven years of age is in the greatest dan- ger of becoming the victim of fatal accident because that seems to be the age at which mothers begin to permit children to take care of themselves.
 In an effort to stem the usual sum- mer tide of violent deaths am )ng yourg people the Institute has issued a list of Vacation Dos and Don'ts with the recommendation that teach CTS, parents and all other persons who have the opportunity to reach large groups of children, pass them on to the children The list follows
 What to Do
 Swim all you can this summer, but never on a full stomach, or if over-heated or extremely tired.
 Learn how to rescue drowning persons; but never pretend yourself to be drowning; you may really need help some day, and not get it.
 Learn to paddle your own canoe, but never rock the boat to scare the other fellow; this has caused the death of thousands of boys and girls.
 Ely kites. but don't use copper wire instead of twine; scores of boys have been electrocuted when their kite wire came in contact with cleo tric wires; also don't climb telegraph poles to recover entangled kites.
 Drink Water
 Hike out into the country, but if you go for more than one day, carry a first4ad kit with you; also learn to recognize poison ivy and then stay away from it; drink a lot of water. but first make sure that it's source is clean.
 Don't use the streets for play if there is a vacant lot. clean alley or a playground nearby; if you must use streets for playgrounds pick a street that has no street car tracks or heavy automobile traffic.
 Don't be a jay-walker; in the city cross street at regular crossings, ney- CT in the middle of the block; when walking on country roads keep on the left. instead of the right hand side of the road so that you can sec approaching vehicles.
 Finally remember that June is ! particularly dangerous month in which to take chances; the other dangerous months are: July, Janu ary. September April. November March, May. December, October, Au- gust and February"

BEN TURPIN IN COMEDY AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

Can 8 picture be funny and thrill ing at the same time? Nine people out of ten will reply mo and in the majority of cases they are right f.sr t is the most difficult task in 4he making of motion pictures to in iect a thrill in a purely comedy s@ory-particularly is this true when tllst comedy is a broad travesty on some serious subject.
 But in Married Life the new Mack :Sennett fiYa-reel super comedy distributed through the Associated First National Pictures, Inc, at the Coliseum tonight, this master of nsirth making has attaiped the al nnest impossible In this purely farci- cal offering it is said he has injected one thrill after another and to make this feat doubly marvellous, the thrills and comedy are so closely in tsrtwined tlsat tue shiyers up the snine are immediately dispelled by the laugh that follows.
 Ben Turpin, he of the contrary syes-leads the Sennett fun makers m the ineermingling of laughs and thrills. As Rodney St. Clair, he first turns the trick in one of the host realistic football scrimmages sise screen has produced in a Ions Sime. This performance he repeats l$ter on in the hospital where he + ipfRted with gas and floats out o tie window and still later when ht and Jimmy Finlayson battle on the wings of an aeroplane many thou sand feet above the surface of tht earth Then to cap the climax h' gives the auditor the supreme laugi thrill of ahe evening at the very tai end of the story.

China in the Air.

Asst month Chinese aviators in three bomb
l. ing airplanes dropped explosives on the
nine warships Of the Pekin governments navy at
Canton One direct hit wrecked one vessel and
scattered missiles the others All OF the ships
struck their colors as the three bombing planes
returned to the attack Commenting on this, Major
General Mason NJ. Patrick, chief OF the U. s.
Army Air Service said:
This is the first actual demonstration of the
utility of aerial attack in actual warfare. 1t is
significant and prophetic OF what undoubtedly will
occur in greater wars Of the future. 1t emphasizes
what has been but little known-the advance OF
the Orient in developing the aerial arm. From
comments that were made to me l Judge that the
full significance of this incident in the Chinese stu-
alton apparent to many"
Somehow or other the impression prevails that
Orientals do not make good avators. That is not
true The Chinese practicing with aviation

Tartar or Manchu, they have flown man-carrying
kites for centuries; and had there been mechani
cal genius to provide them with motors. no doubt
they would have bombed Rome with frecrackers

Both the Chinese and Japanese governments
have been training pilots and mechanics since
France England and Germany first started to
create an air force. The Asiatcs have always been
handicapped by lack of mechanical knowledge; and
they so far have been compelled to procure ma
chimes in foreign markets But they have hired
aviators and bought foreign planes and machinery
to duplicate them. Huge appropriations this year

~ NE of the eight continents of the globe re-
~ mains undiscovered awaiting a new Co
lumbus
Such az least is the opinion of Capt Raold
Amundsen, discoverer Of the South Pole and the
greatest explorer living
In Asia. Europe and Africa human knowledge
started. These three great bodies of land were
known from earliest recorded history and they still
retain the greatest density Of population Then
came the discovery of South and North America
With the knowledge that the earth was round It
was only a step until some daring navigator
should sight the shores Of Australia
Here were six continents accounted for. Sew
eral hundred years elapsed before the seventh was
found. In the memory of many now living the
first explorers sighted the dreary shores OF the
Antarctic land whose interior OF white mystery
never has been penetrated. No man knows what
riches may be locked in its icy hills awaiting the
first conner
The eighth continent remains. Capt. Amund-
sen is determined that he shall be its discoverer
1t lies, according to the best deductions of
oceanographers, somewhere in the great expanse
of ocean surrounding the North Pole
No man can tell what value to humanity may
come from its discovery. The progress OF science
is rapid. Every year methods are found OF
utilizing apparent waste. 1t would require some
courage to say that if the intrepid Norwegian
sights this land II will not be one OF the most
important events in history.
Many miles from the European shore OF the
Arctic there is a great island of rocks and ice
Sptzbergen Its location has been known for over
a century, Before the it belonged to Ger
many but no great effort made to discover ITS
resources. The world accepted as final the opinion
that no possible value could attach to such a
h,rren land Map-makers alone remembered that
it existed. When Germany's colonies were taken
away after the war the peacemakers nearly forgot
the existence of this Arctic island. Yet eventually
its resources may save the life OF European
civilization. 1t contains enormous amount OF
coal which can be mined almost without expense.
For centuries the existence Of Greenland, on
the northeastern shore of North America, has been
known Except for some unimportant chemicals
the island supplied the world nothing worth while
But Danish agricultural experts have discovered
that parts of the land excellent for sheep raising
and the Eskimos have been set to work as heros-
men. Greenlands wool may eventually become as
important as that of its Antarctic rivals-tne
Falkland Islands and South Georgia-whch Great
Britain has made profitable colonies.
Because Capt Amundsen is brave and de-
serving man we hope he discovers the eighth con-
tinent during the Arctic flight which he started
yesterday. But it would be pleasanter still TO
know that some American discovered t-that the
Stars and Stripes and not the Norwegian nag
would fly over it.

On With the Experiment.
the Editor, The Washington Herald:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Although I am unalterably op-
posed to the so-called daylight
saving in any way. shape or form
yet i hope that the President will
not rescind his order for early
hours. because l hope that the agi-
tators will get all they want this
summer. Of annoyance and trouble
in regard to it. so that the scheme
will not even be mentioned next
summer or thereafter.
/ do not wonder that the small
delegation who pretended to repre-
sent the people of Washington, and
who put one over on the Presi-
dent" are ashamed to call again
and tell him what fools they were.
Why is 1t that the workers must
always be the "goat?" l suppose
that is because only those who have
nothing else to do have time to
bring up and put through all sorts
of crank notions.
The most foolish thing about the
whole business was the changing
of the school hours: that was some
thing without rhyme or reason. The
children have short and early hours
and more spare time and vacations
than they know what to do with.
II the school hours had been left
unchanged the children could get
their needed morning sleep and the
mothers could get them off after
the clerks have gone to work, thus
relieving the mothers and the traf-
fc, and reducing the danger of
street accidents to the children.
