Claim on Recent News

Legend Has 1t Ancient Pipe
Once Was Possessed by
Famous DiSCoVerer.

A recent news dispatch describing the
erection of a tablet to a member OF the
crew of Columbus, who was supposed TO
have introduced smoking to Spain has
strengthened Frank E. Bells belief in
family legend to the effect that an an
cient pipe which he inherited from his
father once was in the possession OF the
famous discoverer.
Mr.. Bell, United States deputy mar
shall attached to Municipal Court, flrst
heard the story as boy seated on ms
fathers knee in Augusta County, va.
The elder man, the late DR.. William j.
Bell, told his son that the pipe had been
acquired by the Bell family in Ireland
several hundred years previously.
Handed Down to Sons.
The father related how his father and
his fathers father had cherished the
pipe and handed 1t down, each time to
the youngest son, firm in the belief that
the piece had once been presented to
Christopher Columbus after his last voy-
age to America.
Mr.. Bell was unable to say how the
pipe was acquired by his family, adding
that neither his father nor his grand
father had known.
The deputy marshal admitted that the
story seemed unlikely, and that people
usually laughed at him when he told it.
Yet have read" he said, that Co
lumbus was a great smoker, and that
once a member of his crew dashed a
bucket of salt water over him because
he thought his commander was on fire.

How Training Counts

An unusually striking illustration of the value
of training is afforded through study of casualty
records during the World War The central powers
modified 22,85O,00O men and inflicted casualties
numbering 22,O9OOOO upon the allied forces. The
allies mobilzed 42189,444 men, yet inflicted only
15,4O5,OO casualties upon the armies of the central
powers
In other words, in the case Of the highly trained
troops OF the central powers average of nearly
one casulty was inflicted upon the allies for every
man mobiized, while it took nearly three men of the
allies to inflict one casualty upon the enemy
Allowance must be made for the long distances
some OF the allied troops had to be transported and
the TACT that good many never got to the front, still
their greater losses chiefly due to the time
sumed in training, which gave the enemy, with well
trained and equipped troops from the beginning, a
tremendous advantage until overwhelmed by sheer
force of numbers

In the of automobiles the solution of the diff
muffied In an airplane, both the engine and the
propeller must be muffled, and the cabins must be
insulated against noise if possible. This last method
reported from tests recently conducted by the
Bureau OF Standards, has shown the greatest promise
thus far. Several combinations of materials that ab-
sorb and deaden sounds have been discovered
1t is agreed that to make an airplane really COM
Portable for passengers it's noise should be less than
that of ordinary conversation. This necessitates a
sound reduction of small proportions. Engineers
are further hampered by the fact that any insulating
material used must be light enough not to overburden
