HouO Cannon Are Spiked

In former times when the old
fashioned type of cannon was used
the guns were disabled by driving an
iron spike into the opening at the
breech through which fire was COM
municated to the powder. This was
called "spiking" the cannon. 1t was
done when it was necessary to leave
the guns behind, to prevent their Inn.
mediate use by the enemy. Such dis
ablement was usually only temporary.
The phrase, however, is retained In
modern military usage. Spiking a
cannon nowadays means breaking or
carrying away part of the breech
mechanism, making 1t impossible to
use the gun without considerable re-
pair.-Exhange.

Many Use ELeUotors

Nearly every one rides in America.
In addition to the large number Of
people who use horizontal transit,
such as railroads, trolley cars and SUBJ
ways, one of every ten persons in
the United States takes a vertical ride
every day. This means that the pas
senger elevators in the various build
ings Of the country carry up and
bring down about 100000 persons
every day. Study made by the Ma
tional Association Of Building Mana
gers and Owners Associations shows
that for every 1853 square feet of
rental space a passenger must be car
ried. The office space area of the
United States Is placed at 22,6OO,OOO
feet.

The Wrong Method

''The French expect to pay their
war debts, and all this pretense Of
refusing to pay is just bargaining
the Latin method But to try such a
method on us Americans is certainly
tactless"
The speaker was Mayor Hilary
Howse, of Nashville. He went on:
"Such tactlessness reminds me Of
the Nashville man who used to go
round saying to people in trouble:
"'I'm not as old as you are, but
my advice to you is-etc.'"

any country. The cost of recondi-
tioning the dirgible RIB by the Brit
ish Government prior to April last

cost $965 to get R33 into her hangar
at Pulham on April II after her en-
forced voyage over the North Sea
when she broke from her mooring
mast.
The approximate cost of the R33
(flown 800 hours) and R36 (flown 81
hours) was $l,75O,0OO each. Up to
the present $375,OOO has been spent
on R35 and $1,625,O on R37, both

"COUNTESS" ARRESTED

New York. Aug. 24.--(F-As the
result of what he regards AS at
tempts by women to lure him, and
other plots. Max Phillips. wealthy
collar manufacturer and polo play
er, is being closely guarded on his
700 acre estate near Eatontown. New
Jersey.
Eight armed detectives are on
guard. Phillips carries pistol.
Watch dogs give warnings if Il
stranger approaches.
Meanwhile three women. prcsum
ably detectives and a male detcc-
tive are out on bail after being ar
rested on Phillips complaint. The
purpose Of the plots. he says. is to
weaken his control of the Phillips
Jones company. which makes Van
Heusen collars The bounding has
persisted for months at the insti-
cation of New York banker, he
says.
Public attention to Phillips trou-
blcs first developed over the week
end when the arrests were revealed.
The charges against the three wom-
en- and the man vary from conspiracy
to carrying concealed weapons. The
women were arrested on his estate
Friday night after detectives in his
employ had listened to conversati on
with them by means Of telephone
device.
He says the women tried to lure
him aboard yacht and take a trip
to New England with the intention
Of having him arrested for violation
Of the Mann act. One Of the women
posed as a countess and the other
as her maid.
Frank II. Berg, Jr.. head Of his own
detective agency, who was arrested
near the estate, is out with state
ment that the whole thing is pub
licity melodrama.
II cannot see, however, that this
publicity will assist his collar busi-
ness" Berg said. ut certainly won't
alter the standing Phillips achieved
through newspaper accounts of his
divorce case in which he was quoted
as saying that he would rather have
good nolo pony than a wife. Isn't
it absurd to think that women crafty
enough to engage in such cOnspir-
acies would pick Mr.. Phillips for a
violation of the Mann act?'
Phillips was divorced seven years
ago.
Berg denied his agency was being
paid by banker. He said he was
employed for purpose by no means
hostile to Phillips.
A heavily veiled woman with abb
normally large feet and hands eluded
the guards sufficiently yesterday to
approach Phillips.
81 am sure he was a man." Phil
lips said after detectives had hustled
her out Of the house. "She had the
largest hands and feet l ever saw.
She was most unsightly and wore a
scarlet veil 1t was lucky detectives
were with me or might have been
shot on the spot"
