Appointment of James J. Sheeran,

nounced today. Mr.. Sheeran took
over his duties recently.
The new manager demonstrated
his ability as g. leader during the

the announcement, desirable, sea-
sonable, standard merchandise at
prices seldom or never heard Of be-
fore in the Nations Capital"

FORE" says the announcement,
Thousands Of dollars worth Of the
seasons choicest offerings have been
purchased at almost unbelievably
low prices. and the Washington pub
lie is to benefit thereby.
1.-THE offerings for this .one-day
sale only are to be priced far be-
low today's market value, because
1t is the only time that an entire
buying force has gone into the
market asking the cooperation Of
our favorite manufacturers, who
have responded wonderfully. In
many cases they reduced their
prices to us-for this one event to
help make it successful-to a figure
actually below what it cost them
to produce the merchandise.
Expect Record Day.
The announcement further states
that for this day we have arranged
to augment our sales force to a
greater extent than ever before in
the expectancy Of the record day
of our sixty.four years Of mer.

New Chemical Throws
Heavy Smoke Screen
Around Planes

The chemical warfare section
of the army has developed an
airplane smoke screen, which
by dropping a small quantity Of
liquid chemical from the ship
while in the air makes screen
below it 1900 yards long and
$50 yards high, effectively hid
ing the plane and others in the
group from terrestrial observa-
ton.
By controlling the size Of the
drops the aviator can do almost
anything he wants with the
screen, fitting it with one end
on the ground and the other in
the air or carrying it along
with him as he flies.
This innovation, made possible
by the recent discovery of a
chemical called titanium tetra-
chloride, is expected to revolu-
tionize airplane safety and OBJ
servation. .

Immediate acceptance by Con.

ing for acceptance Of t1is tract from

Congressman Blanton formerly

was given as a means Of increasing

SMOKE
Four Planes, in Test, Build
Screen 700 Feet High,
Protecting City
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, May Sit took the
Chinese hundreds of years to build
the Great Wall but it took an
American army aviators, Lieut..
Devereaux Meyers and Chemist
Hartnett, of the chemical warfare
service of the Army, only a few
minutes to build wall, TOO feet
high, that completely shut New
York's famous skyline from an i'm
aginary fleet of hostile battleshipS
lying in New York bay. General
Fries, chief of the chamical warfare
section of the Army, today an
nounced himself as extremely salts.
fled with the test.
True, the wall was of smoke and
Of peculiarly ill-smelIing smoke
at that, but it proved effective in
hiding New York's towering sky
scrapers and majestic buildings
from the blood-thirsty spoilers
and range finder operators of the
imaginary fleet that was preparing
to lombard the city.
Aim Destroyed.
Their aim and coordination, con-
fused by the billowy waves Of
smoke, there is no doubt that hun
dreds of hypothetical shell from
the imaginary battleships,. aimed at
!, the Woolworth tower and the Metro
politan Building, fell into the Jersey
meadows.
Four planes participated in the
test-two giant Martin bombers,
bearing the screening apparatus
and official observers, and two de
Havilands. The Martin biplane was
equipped with smoke tanks.
New Workers failed to see any
thing significant in four planes in
close formation which came sliding
down from the heights to about
700 feet above the East River, at
Brooklyn Bridge. Here Chemist
Hartnett opened the valve that
dropped a trail of "titaniumtetra
chloride" in the wake of the ma.
chine which sped across the lower
end of Manhattan.
The thousands of sun lovers then
beheld an awesome phenomena.
Those on the ferry boats, caught
in the midst Of the screen, thought
they had suddenly run into an i'm.
all the queer smell and color pecu.
liar to the English product.
Man Made Cloud.
Persons seated in Battery Park
saw the boats on the bay gradually
fade away and disappear as the
huge man-made cloud dropped to the
water and then floated slowly up
ward, making wall of smoke zoe
feet high.
Then, to test the penetratability
\ Of the screen by an enemy airplane
Captain Eaker's bomber was flown
through it.
