SmokeIess Powder Output
For Army Is Doubled

SmokeleSs powder production for
the Army has more than doubled
1t was stated today, now that all
six production lines are in opera
ton at the $114,0OO,OOO Indiana Ord
nance Works, Charlestown, Ind.
Second plant to reach full pro-
duction, the du Pont-operated DOW
der works at Charlestown has an
estimated production twice that of
the 300, 0,oo0-pound daily output of
the Radford, Va, Hercules plant.
Ordnance officials no longer re-
veal production output of the Army's
powder plants, but they did an
nounce the capacity Of the Radford
plant, which started full operation
September 26. Prior to that the
Army was dependent on United
States powder production of only
$4,000 pounds a day.
The new production figures, ap-
proximately 100000 pounds daily,
will go long way toward overcom-
ing the extreme shortage of powder
that has been chief problem in
training troops. Completion of other
plants now under construction will
exceed the actual needs of the de-
fense program.

animals, caused quick crippling and
frequent deaths.
THE exact species of fly of flies
has not been determined because
there were several varieties in the
lots which yielded the virus, but
there is reason to suspect the green
bottle fly and similar species, pos
sibly including the common house
fly, which feed upon manure"
Explains Epidemics.
1t is evident, the scientists de-
clared, that the insects had access to
open sewers and privies from which
they picked up the infection and
carried it over considerable dis
tances.
The flies role would explain
much about the battling nature of
this disease" they added, particu-
larly when outbreaks occur over a
wide area instead of being concen-
trated as are epidemics of measles,

| Man Loses Suit
For Support His

By the Associated Press.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 17.-Charles
Lloyd Weatherby, who, a jurist said,
seeks to eat his cake and have it,
too" has failed to collect $4,000
from his estranged wife on the
ground she refused to support him
in accordance with an alleged pre-
marriage pact.
A State Supreme Court justice,
dismissing Mr.. Weatherby's suit
yesterday, also rejected an applica-
ton for annulment of his 1888 mar
riage and vacated an attachment
he obtained on an automobile be-
longing to his wife, Elizabeth Mary
Weatherby, now of Orlando, Fla.
In the manner of many males" 4"
the jurist observed of Mr.. Weather
by, in his official opinion. "he seeks
to eat his cake and have 1t, too. In
this respect, it may, perhaps, be
said that this plaintiff is following
tradition. But the court Is unable
to say with even approximate GER

Discovery that flies carry the virus
Of infantile paralysis was reported
yesterday to the American Public
Health Association by DR.. John L.
Paul and DR.. James D. Trask of the
Yale University School of Medicine.
This may explain some of the
mysteries of the disease which Grip
pies about 10000 persons annually
and causes the deaths of from 500
to 1000, according to figures of the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. which sponsored the Yale
study under grant from the Presi-
dents Birthday Ball contributions.
Previous to the work of DR.. Trask
and DR.. Paul, investigators had
found that the virus of poliomyelitis
was carried in sewage, principally
in that from hospitals, but also in
sewers many miles from any hos

From the markings the glass police experts learned
the make of they seeking from laboratory IN
specton of the glass the manufacturers gave them the
model, year of the automobile

left a bit of blue paint on the lens.
Since the body lay close to the parked cars along the
curb police that if the hrun automobile had peen
on its own side of the street must have been the gh
headlight that was broken. Also the smashed fender OF
the parked car showed from the angle of impact that the
hit-runner had been on the right side.
DOLCE then knew that the hit-run car was 1886

Efficient police routine put to work teletype

an automobile that fitted the description.
Through this search the hit-run car was discovered
IN an east side garage and the driver traced When De-
tectves Seward Lusk and Fred Gregory of Accident re

obtained the hit-runner confessed.
Detectives Lusk and Gregory and all who aided them
