CHICAGO, July 20 G.N.S0
William Hashka, the veteran who
was killed in the bonus army dis
orders at Washington, went to
the Nations Capital to get
enough money with which to
make a new start in life.
The Chicago ex-soldier hoped
that payment of his bonus might
shake off the ill fortune which
had dogged him ever since the
armistice. Instead of a change
in luck, he found death.
The story of Hashka's postwar
defeats and misfortunes was told
here today by his brother, Charles.
The brother said:
Ever since he gave up a
good business to join the Army
he has had hard luck"
Not the least of Hashka's re-
verses, his brother related, was
the poverty which finally forced
his wife to get a divorce. Mrs.
Hashka wanted to marry some
body who could give their H.
year-old daughter, Loretta, a
comfortable up-bringing and an
education.
Born in Lithuania, he was nat
uralized in 1914. He was earn
ing a fair living, operating
butcher shop in st. Louis. Then
war was declared and he joined
the infantry, to be sent to Camp
Funston. His regiment was en-
route East to embark for France

! ASKED To JOIN
, MOVEMENT
B.E.F. Commander DenounCeS
Administration in Call
For New Organization

Walter W. Waters, COM
mander-in-chief of the Bonus
Expeditionary Force, from his
headquarters at 1871 North
Capitol ST., today sent out a
call to all Americans of voting
age to join a nationwide
"khaki shirt movement.
While the statement did not
say so. it was said by members
of Walters staff that the move
ment was designed to rival that
of the black shirts" of Italy and
"brown shirts" of Germany. The
statement said:
Immediate organization of
an effective body of national
scope that will honestly repre-
sent the mass of the American
people in taking the United
States Government away from
the money powers, by legal
means, and returning it to the
common people, whose govern
ment it should be, is crying
need of the country today.
CALLS FOR RECRUITS
81 am therefore calling upon
every American citizen of vOt-
ing age, whether man or
woman, to join hands now with
the Bonus ExpeditiOnary Force
to clean out the high places
in government, and to keep
them clean.
"The Bonus ExpeditiOnary
Force, because it is already a
functiOning body, proved under
fire, offers itself as the nucleus
of such an organization, to lead
the fight at the polls for
justice to the veterans, the
working people, employed and
unemployed, and all others
whose rights and interests are
forgotten by their miSnamed
representatives in Washington
eve of this organization
Iaw-abiding American citizens
and veterans all, have been
working gradually toward such
a body for some weeks. But
the tragic affair yesterday calls
for immediate enlistment of all
citizens who have the welfare
of true American Government
at heart.
ASKS PEOPLE TO RISE
"The people have been be-
trayed by the servant of Wall
Street who sits in the White
House. He and his henchmen
will continue to betray the
people unless the people rise in
their own defense.
THE Bonus ExpeditiOnary
Force came to Washington to
collect debt that they cOnsci-
entiOuSly believe is due them.
But the movement they began
has long OutgrOwn the sO-called
bonus. They stand now as the
spOkesmen for all the people
whose welfare is ignored by
the plunderbund of the White
House and Capitol Hill.
"OUr call is before the cOun-
try. Let all believers in the
real democracy rally to its de-
fense before the last vestige
of it is taken from U.S."
Waters, through his headquar-
ters announced that for the time
being he would continue to stay
in Washington. Later on he will
go to JohnstoWn, Pa, where
field headquarters of the Khaki
Shirts are to be established.

WITH INVENTORS OF THE WORLD

Swimmers in Germany are wear ing life belts which can be filled With gas in an instant in an emergency, but which are not in
 the way when unneeded. The belt consists of a closed tubular piece lcf cotton material which is fairly
 gas-tight when wet. If the swim
 mer gets into difficulties, he pres
 ses lever which breaks a glass
 capsule filled with a carbonte
 compound which effervesses when
 wet, evolving carbon dioxide. The lgas fills the belt and transforms | it into an effective float.
 Fire alarm boxes that handcuff all persons operating them have been tested as means of pre- venting false alarms. A person turning in a report must insert an arm in the underside of the box and turn a key. This causes a cuff to clamp about the wrist as the alarm is relayed. Since the clamp can only be removed with 2 special key in possession of the firemen, the operating is securely held, until the fire department reaches the box and releases him.
 Many of the automobile drivers steering troubles are eliminated by Ia Stabilizer that holds the tie-rod at a uniform tension. It is said to stop wheel wobble, oscillation of
 steering wheel and shimmying, and to make all steering easier. . Two Italian army officers have invented slencer for artillery and naval guns, which was tested recently. It is attached to the n,uzzle of a big gun and is said not only to repress the noise, but also to make the flame and smoke invisible.
 Instead of a battery, a flashlight recently developed G1as a small and compact generator operated by a spring. Twisting the small end of the light winds the spring to op- crate the dynamo. A few turns assures constant light for a con- siderable length of time, and at the first signs of dimming few more twists renew the brightness. 2 When the holdup man commands +hands up" in an office equipped with a new robot alarm, he might as well have shouted police" For this apparatus, set off by a secret cotptrcl without any movement by the victim that is visible to the intruder, starts by dialing police headquarters on the telephone. A pfonograph disk then is brought into play and repeats police, attention, robbers" and gives the address.

EXAMINING A QUILTED TRICK NEW LAVA trick may not be examined after it has once been quilted, except to settle dispute involving ownership of trick. Penalty-Declarer or left hand opponent may call a lead when next it is the turn of the of- lending side to lead.
 OLD LAW-Any player could ex- anime quilted trick until he or his partner had played to the next succeeding trick. There was no penalty for infringement COMMENT-It always has been annoying to have player look at a quilted trick. There is no good reason why player can- not remember cards as they are played.
 Ni THE REVOKE
 NEW LAW-(a) A player 're- vokes" when he fails to follow suit when able to do so. How ever, revoke penalty is not as- sessed until the revoke becomes established" The revoke is es- tablished as soon as the calendar or his partner leads or plays to the next trick.
 Gb) Penalty for established re- yoke is two tricks for first revoke and one trick for each succeed ing revoke. Tricks shall be trans ferred to the non-revoking side and scored as if that side had actually won the tricks in play
 Co If no tricks are taken by revoking side after revoke has been committed there shall be no penalty. If only one trick is taken then only one trick shall be paid to the non -revoking side. Thus, assume that South is playing a contract of four hearts, and that the East-West pair win the first four tricks, the fifth trick being won by De- clarer; and on that trick West revokes. If Declarer then wins remaining tricks there will be no penalty for revoke, since revok- ing side failed to win any tricks after revoke. The Declarer, there- fore, has been set one trick on his four heart contract.
 (D If a player holds card of a suit led and fails to play it when playing to the twelfth trick. that error must be cor rected as soon as it is disvov- cred. In no case will the penal ty for an established revoke be assessed.
 0LD ,LAW-The penalty of two tricks for first revoke and 100 points for each succeeding re- yoke was prescribed under the 1926 code of laws Furthermore, there was no consideration given to the question as to when re- yoke actually took place.
 COMMENT-It always has been considered unfair to collect tricks on revoke penalty when re- yoke could have no possible ef- feet on the play. The term Ire nounce" (failure to follow suit when able to do so) has been abandoned. Now instead of a penalty for a revoke" and an- other for "renounce" there is one penalty for "an established

OUTPUT Of STEEL
CONTINUES SMALL
Mills of Country Are 0perat-
ing at ID Per Cent of
Capacity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 27-Although
predictions continued to be made in the
steel trade that improvement in demand
would develop in the Fall, actual pro-
duction as measured by ingot output
was barely maintained in the past week
at IA per cent of capacity.
Declines in automobile and tin-plate
production and absence of buying by
railroads were partly offset by mod
crate increase in miscellaneous orders.
Expectations for nearby improvement
are said to be based on anticipated ex-
pansion in requirements by smaller
users. Some easiness developed in quo
tations on sheets as these mills found
orders falling off. The scrap market
held firm and other finished prices were
unchanged. Demand for pig iron in
creased somewhat at steady prices.
Copper was steadier in sympathy
with better demand during the mid
die of the week at advancing prices,
stimulated by prospects for a preferen-
tial duty on copper into the United
Kingdom following the Ottawa confer
ence. Moderate quantities Of electro
lytic which had been offered in the do
mestic market at SIS cents delivered in
the Connecticut Valley were withdrawn
and producers were asking 51z cents
for delivery during the remainder of
the year. Home consumers, however,
bought only moderately.

CANADIAN BUSINESS
Improvement NOTED
Retail and Export Trade Are Bet
ter-Mineral Development
Registers Gain.
BY the Associated Press.


TORONTO, August 27.-Improve-
ments in retail business, in export trade
and in mineral development, with in
dustrial activity ready to respond to the
slightest stimulus, are influences COM
bining in Canada to sustain the opti-
mism generated by the success Of the
Imperial Economic Conference.
Retail trade at present is active in
proportion to the bargains offered, with
consequently the heaviest volume in the
lower priced goods.
Total exports for July had a value
Of $42, 1921 900, as compared with $49,-
675. 200 in the same month OF last year,
while sales to the United States were
valued at only $12,522,000, as compared
with $22 1854, 900 in July, 1881. Exports
to the United Kingdom, valued at $16,-
047,000. were approximately IA per cent
greater than the shipments in the cor
responding month of the year before.
But the total favorable balance Of ap-
proximately 100000 for the month
was still insufficient to Offset the ad-
verse balance of close upon $4,000, 900
resulting from the exchange OF goods
with the United States.
But the continued optimism In the
Dominion Is due to plans for the future,
as well as to activity at the present.
For instance, the move toward free
trade indicated by Denmark since the
close Of the Ottawa conference promises
an outlet for Canadian cattle, fodder,
raw tobacco and base metals, including
possibly some pig iron. Furthermore

3y the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 27-With utili-
ties showing all the earmarks of run
away market, the curb recorded its
most vigorous advance today since the
start of the upward movement last
month.
A wave of buying appeared early in
the utility leaders, and under spirited
bidding, prices bounded forward spec
tacularly. Electric Bond & Share
jumped another points on top of its
sharp advance of yesterday. American
Gas g. Electric gained more than 3,
United Gas preferred, 6; Consolidated
Gas of Baltimore, 6; Columbia Gas pre-
ferred. 1, and Commonwealth & Edi-
son, 8.
Traders had no ready explanation for
this unusual demand for utility shares,
but some were inclined to attribute it
to substantial investment buying, par
ticularly in the senior issues.
Industrials and other groups were
carried along by the momentum of the
utility move. Aluminium Co. of America
rose about a point and Newmont Min
ing scored a somewhat wider gain.
Deere & Co. and many of the other
favorites in the industrial speciality
group showed advances ranging up to
2 points.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 27.-There was
further broadening Of the recent
buying movement in the cotton market
today and an additional advance of
nearly SO a bale.
Business was said to be more active
than for any Saturdays session in
years, and the buying was attributed to
both trade and commission house in
terest. No fresh news factor was par
ticularly discussed and the demand was
supposed to be based on recent unfa-
vorable crop reports and continued con-
fidence in the general business outlook.
December contracts sold up to 9.34
or SO points above Fridays closing quo
tation and $40 per bale above the low
record of early last June. That de-
livery closed at 931 with the general
market closing strong at net advances
Of 48 to Sc points.
