War Office Buys Plane
Device to Bomb Warship

Washington.-The War Department
has bought title to n new device said
10 be capable of dropping a 1Q0-pound
bomb down the smokestack Of n bat
tleshlp from an airplane 1900 feet
above.
contract has been negotiated with
n large Connecticut manufacturing
corporation to produce several of the
devices at a cost of $4,000 each.
Recent tests have shown the instru-
ment to be remarkably accurate in Is
aim, according to Army experts. Itfis
a bomb sight, which, when carried on
an alrplane. takes Into account the
movement OF both the airplane and the
warship, Including the ground speed,
drift and air pockets, Army officials
gay.
Its successful use, they believe,
would make a 100-pound bomb as eff
fectiye a destroyer of a battleship as
n two-ton bomb dropped on the deck
from a bomber, since the smaller bomb
falling down the smokestack would
explode IN the most vital part of the
ship.
In the opinion Of Army officers, #
is the first device Of the kind IN the
world. Aside from the greater eff
cacy of bomb dropped down a
smokestack, the device would enable
smaller and handler planes to dis
pose of hattleships rs effectively as
great bombers, which are harder TO
maneuyer because Of their size and
the weight of two-tOn bombs.

the charge Of furnishing poison to
wives who wished to SET rid Of their
husbands Six wives who tried her
Glove potionsr on their husbands AMI
became widows are 10 be tried with
Anna, or after her case is settled
Some say she has led to the deaths
Of go husbands, ard of many wives
for men also pauonlzed her.
While Anna is called tile witch
of yladlmirovac," a place not far
from Belgrade. and is an exceedingly
aged person, ii appears that she is by
no means a peasant crone. Her story
as now told is one for a novelist, but
ii ID difficult to say how much truth
It contains, The United States is not
the only country in which woman
on trial Tor murder is provided with
romantic past
The Village Enters.
The story IS that Anna was the
daughter Of n rich cattleman of Ru-
MANN, who moved to yladlmiroyac
so years ago. and that she received
an excellent education. The villain,
goes the story, entered her life when
she was twenty-one AS is always
the case with more than ordinarily
heartless female killers, she had to
be more than ordinarily beautiful
The villain was young officer, who
finally cast Anna aside and left her
pessimist and misanthropist.
Anna sought seclusion after the af
fair of he heart, and with her knowl-
edge Of five languages gave herself up
to medical and chemical studies. She
came out of her grief sufficiently to
marry a landowner named Plstova,
by whom she had II children. Only
one survives, a prosperous merchant
Her husbands death sent Anna
back to the test tubes and beakers
She built laboratory onto her house
and evolved from herbs many real or
supposed remedies for diseases, hut
she is charged with having plenty Of
arsenic around. She dispensed many
Of her remedies to wives who were
not inconsoIably distressed when their
husbands tried the remedies and left
the wives with property and prospects
of other husbands. As has been said,
1 1t Is charged that not a few husbands
who bought remedies of Anna were
careless about leaving them around
where their wives could sample them
with disastrous consequences for the
samplers.
That is the defense. Annals coun.
sci assert that she was not response
BILE If wives or husbands took over
doses Of her medicines. Some Of the
fatal medicines are said to have con-
tanned vegetable poiSons which were
exceedingly difficult to detect, but
some of them appear to have con
tanned arsenic.
Called EN- Tonies.
Arsenic is used as a tonic and some
people became arsenic addicts. The
husband of Mrs. Florence Maybrick
was an arsenic addict, which fnct
made Mrs. Maybrlck's conviction OF
poisoning him TO death with arsenic
extremely doubtful as TO the charge
having been proved, Annals defense
is somewhat along the same lines. She

the fisherman was so emphatic that
they We're of legal length when caught
that he caught another fish "just TO

The small fish did shrink, the war

have to be decided by the courts, and
in the future fishermen may have to
"allow FOR shrinkage" when catching

Guidin6 Your
80 Child Ia
LEARNING To WALK

Parents give the matter OF learn
ing TO walk little attention. assu'n-
ing that the child will learn eventu-
ally and that il makes little differ
enc" when he begins. Yet it is actu-
ally Of the utmost importance for
the child to walk AS soon as he is
physically able. because il is thus
that he increases his knowledge
and q sensc Of power in his environ
ment.
The ability to walk opens to him
thousand new experiences. He can
manipulate many more things than
he could while in his crib.
He is able 10 learn great deal
about hardness and softness,
smoothness and roughuess. size.
weight. shape. objects in their three
dimensions and the spacial relation
ships of the world in which he f9ndu
himself. This knowledge Is an i'm
development.
Many children are retarded IN
their ability 10 walk because they
have not been given sufficient incen-
tive TO make the difficult attem pt .
We must give the child a reason for
wanting TO walk. One very good
Way is to stimulate his curiosity
about things at a distance. This can
be done by giving him a variety Of
things 10 touch and handle while he
is stll in his crib
From pleasurable experience with
such things as cracking paper, q
silver teaspoon. rattIes. spooIs or 4
string and many other Of the mis-
cel'aneous. fascinating objects to b.
found In any home. he develops
agreeable associations which make
him eager TO extend hts expert
enccs. Thus when he sees a shiny
object across the room he will be
, 1mpelled to 20 toward II.
Another incentive Is TO put some
well beloved toy at Il distance. The
most familiar method Of stimulating
the child's desire to walk Is to make
game Of walking from one person
TO another.
Tho approval the child wins
through his first efforts TO walk are
larger factor in making him try
again and again.

YOUR HEALTH
VITAMIN A MAS MANY
IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS

BY DIR. NORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American
Medical Association and of Hygeia.
the Health Magazine.
Following the discovery of the i'm
portance of vitamins for health. 1t
became the custom to call them by
designations, such as A.
B. G, etc, and by other terms which
concern the diseases which develop
when the vitamins are absent from
the diet.
Thus vitamin A was called the
anti-xarophthalmic vitamin. B the
anti-neuritic vitamin. c the anti
scurvy vitamin: the most i'm
portant. vitamin d, is necessary in
t. diet in order to prevent the de-
of ricketts,.
Many students of the subject have
insisted that the latter names would
be preferable. becaNse they are
more expressive than those of alpha
bette character.
DIR. H. c. Sherman, one of the
leading authorities in the field. de-
tends the alphabetic terms. He
holds they represent better the fact
that We do not begin to know all
that the vitamins accomplish, and
Tat thu lore descriptive designation
may refer to only single activity of
any of these essential substances.
Vitamin A is concerned with many
more things than merely prevention
of the diseases of the eyes called

A results in a widespread weakening
