 Elections
(By Associated Press)

Citizens of California and Ohio gave old age pension proposals their last once-over today before voting their convictions in tomorrow's off, year elections while office seekers in dozen other states argued large ly over local issues, with elections of mayors for Philadelphia, Detroit and San Francisco outweighing the political interest in campaigns for three seats in the House of Repre- sentatives and the Governors chairs in Kentucky and Mississippi.
 Herbert Bigelow, leader of the Ohio pension drive, said tonight that if his proposed amendment to the state constitution is defeated, he will draft a revised proposal increasing taxes for pension payments to guar antee every retired Ohioan over 50 years of age at least $50 month.
 Bigelow said he would collect a tax equal to one-fourth of the Fed eral income tax and will tax two per cent of the value of certain lands.
 The pension battle in California centers around the revised thirty dollars every Thursday" program under which some pensioners would draw from $l5 to $50 week and non workers over $50.

ARMY DEMONSTRATES THAT IN WAR TIME THERE'S NO
 PLACE WHERE MAN IS SAFE
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.--For the benefit of ourselves and 5000 others the army demonstrated it's latest fighting gadgets to such telling ef- feet that we are convinced that in war there is simply no place where a man can be comfortable or safe.
 One plane dropped three dozen or more small bombs all in row the way you SOW radish seed. Strewn along a road they would have wiped out a regiment.
 One big bomber, from high up, dropped a 2,000-pound bomb. It is the biggest the army uses as a regular thing, although it has some pound jobs - heavy as a cadillac-in reserve. The one-ton item burst a mile from where we lay hidden behind some low bushes. It smashed up the air so badly that fragments of the noise reached us like a burst of machine gun fire be- fore the shuddering boon" closed in on us.
 It threw dirt ana brush 300 feet in the air and lifted out cone of earth into which you could have placed a two-story house. We were told that medium artillery can shell a heavy concrete bridge all day without wrecking it, but one of those 2,O00-pound airplane eggs nestling into it will take out whole section.

PLANES ARE AS BAD

But with anti-aircraft artillery busy on the ground, there is no peace for the planes from which the bombs fall.
 A nastier sight we never have seen than the way the muzzles of those anti-aircraft guns follow a plane across the sky. It is like nothing so much as the way a snake, with head uplifted, eyes a bird. Observing instruments spread over the ground in wide triangular formation focus on the plane. The cumulative result of their seeing eyes" is communicated to central sighting mechanism which looks like the upper half of an iceless refriger- ator. heavily studded with dials.
 This mechanism digests the in- formation and, together with data which may be supplied from other observers, transmits it to dial on the gun. The gunners simply keep a sort of pointer on the gun following the sighting dial, and the muzzle creeps across the sky, splitting three-inch shells at the rate of one every two seconds. From then on the clear-blue air about the plane is thick mixture of flying shell fragments. Three targets lowed across the sky in stimulation of an enemy airplane were shredded by shell fire.
 In turn, two tanks. armed with machine guns and small cannon, bounded across a ditchy field pour

.AD0LpHE MAX,
 HERO OF WORLD
 WAR, DIES TODAY
Was Taken Prisoner by Germ any, EsGaped-
 Remarkable Record

BRUSSELS, Nov. 6, Adolphe Max Burgomaster of Brussels, im- prisoned by Germany during the World War, and who has held of flee ever since, died today at the age of TO years.
 Adolphe Max, who once declined the Belgian premiership to remain mayor of Brussels, broke all records as holder of that office. He was named burgomaster on October i2, 1909, and was chief citizen of the Belgian capital for longer period than any of his predecessors throughout the city's centuries of history.
 His heroic stand against the Ger man invaders on the outbreak Of the war in 1914 made him easily the most popular man in the whole of the I ny kingdom. and he never lost his place in the hearts of all Bel gians.
 Refuses Title
 Honored by many foreign coun- tdies, he perferred to remain plain Monsieur Adolphe Max in his own. When King Albert offered him a barony as reward for his unflagging services to the capital and the coun- try, Max refused.
 "'Adolphe Max sounds better than Baron Max of Brussels" he said.
 Burgomaster Max was popular with the Bruxellois, however, long before the war made him national hero. He had been mayor for six years and city councillor for eleven when the war broke out, and had never lost an opportunity of mixing with the citizens of Brussels high and low.
 Our Max" to All
 He was at ease at an official ban quet or quaffing glass of Brus- sels' famous beer with the bargees in Les Marbles" heart of the old city. He was "Our Max" to one and all.
 At every carnival, he would be there to kiss the carnival queen, and when grief afflicted his city or his country he was the first to offer sympathy and start relief measures.
 Max more than anyone else led the nations grief on the tragic oc- casions when King Albert and later Queen Astrid lost their lives. He had the friendship both Of the Queen Mother Elizabeth and of King Albert, with whom he almost ranked in greatness in the eyes of Belgians.
 A lawyer by profession. Max was born in December 3l, 1869 and was graduated as Doctor of Law at Brus- sells University at the age of 25.
 On October 3, 1903, he was elected member of the Brussels city coun- ell, after nine years as provincial councillor for Brabant. He soon forged ahead to a position of lead- ership in both the municipal and national Liberal groups, eventually sharing with his old friend Paul
