was a failure. according to reports
reaching here.
Early in the season. farmers re-
ported prospects were good.
Then the six weeks drought
came and the vines withered, caus
Ing the melons to ripen sooner than
they should. So the melons shipped
during August were much smaller
than ordinarily would have been
the case.
1t was said that the melon ship
ments this season have been only
about half as large as last year.

OIL BURNING SHIPS
NO MORE DANGEROUS
inquiry Reveals Fact That Has
Important Bearing on
Insurance Rates.

Announcing the result or an exhaus-
tive inquiry. Commander II. s. Howard,
r. s. NJ, told members OF the Ameri-
can Society OF Naval Architects AMI
Marine Engineers yesterday in the A,l-
. ditoriurn OF the Grand Central Palace
that oil burning vessels are not subject
20 greater fire hazard than are ships
using coal for fuel. His report was re-
1eived with great interest. as bearing
directly on the question OF insurance
o big item in the operating costs Of
merchant vessels.
Commander Howard's paper was one
OF a series dealing with engineering
problems and the most recent discov-
cries in aid OF navigation read at tho
opening technical session of the thir-
teenth annual meeting os the naval
architects. which will continue to-day
ct the Palace in connection with the
Marine exposition there. Elmer A..
Sperry, inventor. told OF his new me
chanical helInsman. Edwin A. stevens
Jr.. discussed propeller design: Prot.
Herbert c. Sadler anaylZed wave
stresses on the Great Lakes: Prof. Ed
ward NJ. Bragg gave the results OF a
study OF the wakes OF various shio
models: and Rear Admiral David w.
Taylor talked on propeller position and
EropulStNe er1lclencN.
To establish his point Commander
Howard reviewed the various causes Of
ship destruction in the Jutland engage
ment, showing that while several naval
vessels were damaged by fire, in no
case could the burning of fuel oil be
considered an extra danger. Four de-
stroyers caught fire and on two Of
them oil apparently was burning. but
the flames were extinguished quickly
and easily. Also in the instances of the
larger vessels which were burned there
was practically no damage done as a
direct result OF oil being used as fuel.
To-day will be the most important OF
American Marine Week. Delegates to
the exposition will have difficulty in
keeping pace with the program Of
events. A conference on standardiza-
ton Of shipbuildng equipment called by
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover will be
held in the morning and a permanent
organization is expected to result. An
other technical session OF the architects
also is scheduled. with a half dozen
papers to be read. including a study
cf ship operating problems by Capt
Daniel A. J. Sullivan.
In the evening Secretary of the Navy
Edwin DENLY will read a message from
President Harding at the exposition.
and the annual banquet OF the archi-
tects' society will be held in the Waldorf
Astoria. with J. Barstow Snull presi-
dent Of the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton: Mr.. DENLY. William ]. Love. vice.
president OF the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration. and Homer L. Ferguson. presi-
dent Of the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock Company scheduled to
