Assails Bombing Tests.
Planes Value Overrated, Gin.
ton r. Thompson Says.
To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor Of The Star:
Permit me to congratulate you for
giving additional publicity to the ar
ticIe on "Battleship VS.. Airplane," by
Comdr. Herbert S. Howard. originally
published in the Independent. 1t is
the clearest and most succinct pres
entation of the whole contriversy
that / have ever read and ought TO
be convincing to any candid MIND.
1 wish 1t could be brought to the at
tention of every one who permitted
himself to be Influenced by certain
sensational testimony recently sub
mitted to Congress.
I was present at the bombing of the
|Ostfriesland, in 1921. and have vivid
recollection of the tedious hours of
waiting for suitable flying weather;
then of the majestic sailing of the
bombers over the hulk and the care
full dropping of preliminary sighting
bombs; then of the equally deliberate
dropping of live bombs, with an oc-
casional hit. All this while the ship
was anchored, unprotected by smoke
screens, it's own guns and combat
planes, and without the ability to
change course after a bomb had left
the plane.
The public has no conception of
that side of the picture. Press views
showed only the actual explosion of
q bomb or the battered hulk after
several bombs had registered hits.
Movie news reels are limited to
scenes of action, so they showed their
audiences only the blasts of the
bombs and the ship actually settling
beneath the waves.
But one who witnessed the whole
test was most impressed with the
utter helplessness of the victim; the
careful deliberation and low flying
of the bombers, quite impossible un
der battle conditions; and. withal, the
failure of the planes to deliver a
fatal blow. The final sinking was
due more to the cumulative effect of
two days of bombing than to any
single shot.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Sn0wstorm.
When April comes a-snilin' and the
world is bloomin' gay,
I'll sort o miss the snowstorms, in
my own contrary way.
For the starry flakes that scattered
from the cloudland up SO high
Were reminders of the blossoms that
we loved in days gone by.
And they also had a message of the
days that are to be,
When the mockin bird is singin' over
yonder in the tree.
Each tiny flake would do its best be-
meath the sky so gray
To make the snowstorm something
like a beautiful bouquet.

Intestinal Evacuant.
There is now offered to the pub
lie liquid preparation which is
not only a wonderfully effective
and QUICK intestinal evacuant, but
which also seems to stimulate the
glands of the intestinal tract and
TO cause expulsion of flatus GAS.
This preparation, known as Adler
ika.. is a valuable agent for the
purpose of cleansing the bowels
OF matter which has been in the
system a long time and which other
less effective means have been I'M
able to dislodge. It is often aston
fishing the great amount of matter
Adlerika draws from the intestinal
canal-even right after a natural
movement it sometimes brings out
unsupported quantities Of additional
matter. Many times it brings out
much GAS, thus relieving pressure
in the abdomen. Adlerika is espe-
cially valuable when PROMPT ac-

the elimination of metabolic poisons
through the bowel.

Sheep and Sweet Clover

Sheep and Sweet Clover
Sheep and Sweet Clover" is
the title of a new agriculture
feature which will appear in this
paper each issue for sixteen
weeks. These articles have been
prepared by Leonard Hegnauer,
extension specialist in soils and
crops and C.M Hubbard, live
stock specialist, both of the
State College of Washington
extension service.
These specialists have made
a careful study of the conditions
in this part of the country and
are recommending a combination
of sweet clover and sheep, Not
that they want to have all the
forms in this district turn to
raising nothing but these two
crops, but they Awill explain in
the coming articles some advan-
tages to be derived from adding
sheep and sweet clover to the
farming system.
During the Spillman tour, in both
the barn yard meetings and ad-
dresses, sheep and sweet clover
were advocated. 1t is doubtful
if the major crops will be much
different than at present, for
many years to come, bit there
can be some additions made TO
help build up the soil and the
income. ~
Wool is the only agriculture
product produced in the Pacific
Northwest which we need to i'm
