tween the committee and the builders,
Lee B. James and A. d. Dickinson, in
which the latter deposited an additional
$4,000 as guarantee that work would

1T has not been our fault that we

been ready from the first, but have been
delayed by the railroad, due to the slow
ness in giving US the deed to the site.
If we cannot secure the proposed site in

other location, although we regard the
contract to transfer title as good as a
deed"

CONGRESSMAN
Only 19 Hits Recorded
l6,00G Shots from An
ti-Aircraft Guns That
Guard New York
(Rv The Associated Press.) }

NEW YORK, N. Z, Aug. 18.-Qnly
nineteen hits have been made in 10000
shots which anti-aircraft machine gun
batteries at Fort Tilden fired during
a test of the ability of coast defense to
protect the port of New York from at
tack by air.
Representative F. H. Laguardia, for
mer major in the air service, who OBJ
served the tests, said he would report
to congress- that the air defenses here
were an "absurdity."
ITO observe the pomp, glamor, maps,
bugles, bells, signals and commands with
the resulting low percentage of hits,
he added, reminded me of child chas-
ing bird on the lawn trying to put
salt on its tail to catch it.
''The synthetic defense of the port of
New York certainly has not the kick
of the synthetic gin that l am told is
sold on Broadway. Hypothetical hits
are bunk. Enemies are not defeated
that way"
The enemy airplanes during the tests
yesterday were represented by two
sleeve shaped targets, towed by two
planes at attitudes of from 700 to 100
feet, said to be much lower than enemy
bombers would actually fly. The targets
were of canvass, colored a deep blue.
One plane towed its target back and
forth over the land batteries Is times
while so calibre machine guns fired
5000 shots and scored only five hits at
an altitude for the targets of 900 to
100 feet. The other planes target was
towed back and forth at an altitude of
700 to 900 feet and fourteen hits were
registered in 5000 shots.
Representative La Guardia said on any
one Of these trips either bomber could
have annihilated Fort Tilden. The
tests were similar to those conducted at
Fortress Monroe, Va, last March
Major General John/on Hagood, who
with more than dozen officers wit
messed the tests, said the practice show
ed a tremendous advance in anti-air-
craft defense since the war. Others ad-
mitted that the tests bore out the as
sertion of Colonel William Mitchell,
former assistant chief of the army air
service, that guns on land were virtual
ly useless against hostile aircraft.
Similar tests with land batteries as
sisted by powerful searchlights to To-
cate the targtts are scheduled for to-
night.

stration," said General Charlesl p. Sum-
neral, commanding general of the sec
and corps area. "Ne have. apparently
secured results showing as high state

NEW YORK, N. u, Aug. l8.-A
material increase in the income OF
business women and the appearance
of substantial collections from illicit
traffic, such as the wholesale boot
logger, will feature the income tax
returns to be made public two weeks
from today.
While the actual statistics are
closely guarded against the hour when
the curtain of secrecy will be raised
by order Of the treasury department,
enough advance information on the re-
suits in the second district has be-
come known to state with certainty
that collections will approximate, if
not surpass those Of the last ia xyear,
despite the lower normal and surtax
rates.
The situation here, officials say,
