Despite official denial that the recent purchase of Dodge Brothers, Inc, by a powerful banking syndi- cate does not contemplate any nc- gotiations for merger of other firms, many Wall Street observers see another powerful automobile combine in the making to rival the General Motors company. The companies frequently mentioned in this connection are Packard, Hud- son, Briggs Body and Mack Truck.
 The automobile and tire indus- tries are among the largest consum- CTS of cotton in the country. Last year nearly S0,000,OOO pounds of cotton fabric was used in manufac- ture of tires, the average cord tire requiring 3510 pounds. About 16O,- 00O,00O square yards of material were used for imitation leather and seat covering while large quantities were also used for tops and side curtains for open cars.

Defects In the war stock of Army
ammunition now held in reserve are
disclosed in the annual report of Maj
Gen. G. c. Williams, chief of ordnance,
made public today. They are due, it
said, not alone to deterioration in
storage, but to hurried war design
or hurried war production" and have
been discovered as a result of the
careful inspection system, including
laboratory tests, set up since the war
About one-third of the reserve am
munition is overhauled annually, the
report showed, making sure that the
whole stock is inspected and test
fired at the proving ground in per-
centages of each lot every three years.
Gen. Williams did not indicate the ex-
act nature of the defects except to
say that deterioration of the "explo-
sive elements is most marked
I'm connection with the rapid pro-
duction of the ammunition to meet
the emergency of the war" the report
pointed out, lit was necessary to adopt
new types of explosives, to permit
new and more expeditions methods of
manufacture Of existing types, and to
use new methods in loading the ex-
pl6sives."
The condition of the reserve stock of
ammunition has been growing
source of worry to the War Depart
ment, and a project for building up
the reserve through a 10-year replace
ment program has been worked out

'D|R|G|B[E PROBE
|. ENDS WITH PR0V|S0
Only Other Possible Step
Would Be Calling of Mitchell,
Judge Advocate Says.

The Navy's long investigation of
the Shenandoah disaster came to
provisional end today, the proV1so
being based on the possible summon
ing Of Col. William Mitchell, who pre-
viously had declined to testify before
the naval court of inquiry.
AS the court adjourned today, sub
ject to call of it's president, Rear Ad-
miral Hilary P. Jones, it was an
nounced by Judge Advocate Leonard
that should he find upon examination
Of Col. Mitchell's testimony before the
Army court martial any matters ger
name to the Shenandoah inquiry he
would seek a process of bring the
colonel before the naval tribunal.
This could not be done, however,
until after the Army court-martial
proceeding against Col. Mitchell had
been concluded, the judge advocate
added
Should it be decided not to call
Col Mitchell there will remain the
summing up by counsel and repre-
sentatives Of the interested parties be-
fore the court proceeds to the fornu-
lation of it's finding.
Sharp denial was made today before
the court of inquiry by James H. Col
lier, aviation chief rigger, that he had
told Maj. Frank NJ. Kennedy of the
Army Air Service that four of the con-
Meeting tubes between the gas cells on
the airship had been tied off just be-
fore the accident.
Maj. Kennedy, who was a witness
before the Mitchell courtmartial. also
testified before the Shenandoah court.
He said he had seen four tubes in the
wreckage that had been tied off. and
that Collier told him the tying off had
been done before the ship broke up.
Collier also testified before the
| Mitchell court yesterday. and today

testimony given then which it was

MOUNTAIN "PA|NS"
EXPLAINED IN TALK
Causes of Earthquakes and
Protection From Them De-
scribed by Dr.. A. L. Day.

The coast range Of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains is still suffering
from growing pains" and unless GER
tain portions of California construct
houses capable of withstanding earth
quake shocks serious loss of life from
seismic disasters may be expected
there for some time to come, DIR.
physical laboratory Of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington, told a
large audience in the Administration
Building, Sixteenth and p streets, last
night.
The entire southern portion of the
coast range. DIR. Day said, Is acting
like a trap door. rising from and fall
ing back into the Pacific Ocean. In
their geologic history the coastal
mountains, he asserted, have SLOW
ly risen and fallen no less than
10 or IL times, and during one drop
they did not stop untN they were
mile beneath the surface Of the Pacific
Ocean. This same process is still
going on, the speaker added.
DR.. Day based his talk on the Santa
Barbara earthquake and he used a
large number of lantern slides to show
how buildings especially erected to
withstand seismic shocks - shift
built"-suffered virtually no damage,
while those constructed in the ordi-
nary fashion toppled in, killing a
number Of persons. Had not the
tremor occurred at a time when most
persons were at home, in wooden
structures, the loss of life in Santa
Barbara would probably have been
appalling, DR.. Day said.
Earthquakes. the speaker continued,
offer no mystery. Their causes may
be read in the ground and although
science can not definitely determine
when or where the next one will strike
1t can watch the strains" in the
earth accumulating. When these
strains reach the breaking point there
is a sudden "let-go" and the earth
quake follows. Ordinarily, he added,
there are serious after shocks for a
week or ten days following the main
disturbance.
