Buying that gave wheat substantial boosts was credited to short covering. The steady downturn of three weeks many traders think has brought an end to uqu’dation and that a rally is due.

LAND BUY MAY DELAY BRIDGES (Continued From Page 1) expected to use the share they are trying to force us to appropriate for the land to reimburse their bridge fund.’’ Dunn said the only way the city will ever compel the county to assist in buying the east bank land will be to do it in court. “The county has its share ready to complete the bridges, any time the city can meets its part,” said Dunn. Cassius L. Hogle, county council president, said the council would back Dunn refusing to help pay for the land. Elmer Williams, board of works secretary, said the city might bring mandamus proceedings to compel the county to pay a share of the land cost. “Valuations of the approaches were fixed by court after the property holders were not satisfied with the appraisal by the Real Estate Board,” Williams said. “The county has failed to keep its original agreement beca ise the council failed to appropriate sufficient funds. It is a shame to stop the progress, but It will come if the council continues to hold up the appropriation.” The county paid $405,121 on the two bridges and $68,000 on land damages. On Sept. 1, there was $99,929 which had not been paid for approaches, board of works record showed.

BODY OF LOCAL BOY RECOVERED (Continued From Page 1) had been driven Into Newport, the second time they had been beaten from the wreck scene. Identification Easy The battery room In which Teschemachor and Gibson were found had been tom asunder by the sharp bow of the City of Rome. Both bodies quickly were identified when brought out of the steel shell. All the identifications, tags and fingerprints previously had been sent here to the Camden for use when the bodies should be brought out. The divers had been halted during the night by adverse tides. Chrystle had sent them down in the evening with instructions to go through the battery room hatch and explore within. The divers sent down were Harry Reinhardt and William •Reid, civilians, working unde* the direction of Chrystle. Exploring Balked Neither could explore the lnt lor, howeyer, because it was dark below and for some reason there was no submarine lighting device used. Rough seas necessitated continued suspension of attempts by the derrick ships, Monarch and Century, to hoist the submarine. These were dragged back to Newport because of the weather. It was the second tlmo in two days that the cranes had been forced from the scene of the wreck. Yesterday tbev had lumbered back to Block Island when the sea swells proved too much for them. WIFE TOED NEWS Stricken New London Woman First To Hear Loved One’s Fate. By Carl D. Groat United Pren Staff Corresoondent NEW LONDON. Conn., Sept. 20. —A stricken wife here in New London today was the first to hear the exact fate of her loved one aboard the sunken S-51. The woman was J. L. Gibson, wife of submarine’s enegineman. Though broken by anxiety, Mrs. Gibson had steeled herself to expect her husband’s death and she took the tragic message brought to her neat little home by Commander Scanlon of the submarine base and his wife, well, under the circumstances. It seemed to bring the relief that goes with certainty after days of uncertainty. Scanlon declared this afternoon that he felt certain divers would penetrate other compartments than already have been opened and lift the load of anxiety and uncertainty from the hearth of other kin ashore before nightfall. New London Is "Home During the night a grim rumor was wild that the Chewetik had been ordered to take down to the rescue fleet two score of new blankets. The story added that they were to be the shrouds for the crew, but afterwards it was said the consignment was simply intended as extra supplies In which to wrap divers when they came from the water. What will be done with the bodies brought out of the hull Is not decided, but they probably will be brought back to this old New England whaling port where so many pioneers of the seas have been brought back to sleep along the Thames. New London was "home” to many of the S-51 folk as much home as •jea-farers ever have. If—as now seems quite improbable—some are brought forth alive, they will prjbably be taken to the naval hospital at Newport.

‘AD’ EXPERT URGED HERE Banker Seeks Fund to Boost City. An effort to interest Indianapolis persons In Improving Indianapolis, to the extent that an advertising campaign for the city will be conducted, has been started by Sol Meyer, president of the Meyer-Kiser Bank. Meyer’s plan calls for the appointment of a committee to select and employ an expert to carry out an extensive advertising campaign. Indianapolis advertising companies will cooperate in the advertising plan, he said. The bank is running full-page advertisements in Indianapolis papers to create interest in the move. About a month ago Meyer announced that he would contribute $25,000 to a fund for bettering Indianapolis. Today he said this offer is still effective any time, and that he also would contribute to a fund to promote the advertising campaign. 14

TWO SLICES OF BREADICOSTLY (Continued From Paste 1) jammed the railroads with passengers and freight, making outside foodstuffs hard to move in. Feeding the folks is the biggest enterprise, next to real estate, and every town and hamlet has more restaurants than the native population would seem to warrant, but all are crowded. Sandwiches usually reflect food prices. A sandwich and cup of coffee at Ft. Pierce cost me 35 cents, 15 cents going for the coffee. On the west coast the same luncheon could be had for 25 cents. The food is uniformly bad and its price gains an upward momentum as one approaches the tropics where the greatest horde of people is found. Win Home for Money Travelers seldom find they have brought enough money for their daily expenses and the wires burn with messages home for more. I saw a New Englander motoring with his family of five children and wife at Galnsvllle. He said his average family meal cost $7 and Indigestion for all in the cheapest places and he had counted on getting by on sls a day for the crowd. As elsewhere, Greeks lead the field of food vendors. Their prices in Miami and Tampa are 100 per cent higher than in Washington, and in Jacksonville and Tallahassee 25 per cent. Two slices of fried bread —the favorite breakfast dish—usually costs 50 cents. One reason for the demand for eating places is that the crowd on the streets is unattached and contains few who can eat at home. Men outnumber women five to one. Few have their wives along to cook the evening meal. Prices of clothing and other commodities are proportionately high. Shaves cost 30 cents in most towns. Shirts cost me $4.60 for the $2.50 kind. I bought them because the laundries are so overtaxed. You are lucky if you get your duds back clean, surprised if all are there and astonished if on time. Beyond War Level Os conditions generally, one Chamber of Commercge secretary said to me: “Rents, living costs and food prices are way beyond the war prices. There is no end to the money people are dumping in on us and we can’t be stopped from taking it. We are getting our share of that good coin northern sharpers made during the war when we were not in on the clean-up.” Housing congestion is acute and rents consequently high. The average return on the investment in small houses is 50 per cent a year. Illustrations of this and the reaction high rents have caused will be told in a later article. The housewife must expect in Florida the pests and discomforts which always come in a warm country; heat, mosquitoes, ants, roaches two inches long and frequent omissions by the Ice man which causes food to spoil rapidly. The houses, mostly one-story affairs which offer the least possible protection against heat in summer, are so flimslly constructed with no cellar or heating plant, that there are times in winter when the damp chill which settles over the land will make your teeth chatter under any number of blankets.

Children Sufferers The children are the greatest sufferers from high living costs. Nourishing milk and other foods are often denied them. Their schools nre undermanned because enough teachers cannot be found who can afford to live on the salaries, ranging downward from the aveiage of $2,000 : paid principals of high schools. ReI cently newspapers have been advertising for public-spirited citizens to take in thA teachers and make it possible to get proper instruction for the children. Inetruction itself Is badly disorganized in almost all the larger towns by the pupils being brought In at various times during the term from northern schools where the methods are often different. The newcomers slow up the work of the entire class. Many of the best teachers have quit work to become "Bird-dogs” or spotters for real estate concerns. They work the hotel lobbies and busses for prospective investors. Last year Florida had high school accommodation for 16.000 pupils with 695 teachers, State School Superintendent Cawthon reported. Water Sulphurous The water throughout the State is most sulphurous. If one can possibly afford it, he buys distilled or other bottled water for drinking. Some hotels charge 25 cents extra for distilled water at table. Hotels are Jammed. Cots in corridors frequently are the only beds late travelers can obtain. Charges In summer are about the same as in downtown New York hotels and in winter range from $7 to S2O a day with the big beach hotels running higher on the American plan. Camping motorists will find accommodations at tourist camps in wooden shacks with no furniture, plaster, paint or paper, about 10 by 12 feet In size, for $5 a week or $1.25 a night. Lodging houses are overcrowded and rooms are frequently shared by several people. Thousands sit about most of the night on benches which are placed in park and along city streets, where the heat drives them from their forbidding, crowded quarters. Few of the houses in the South have hot water heating plants other than tanks on the roof, which catch the rain water, which is heated by the sun to a comfortable bathing temperature. This is known as the solar system of heating, and the real estate salesman usually makes a special point of It. Communication is difficult, even by telephone. So overtaxed are the phones that people use the telegraph for quicker communication with nearby business offices. This is slowing telegraph < service on incoming messages because boys engaged in carrying messages from

SCHOOL „ uoh™™-™ 11 ELI U How Tlie y strike. Copyright, Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia Feature Service.

The simplest lightning “strike” consists of a straight flash from the charged cloud to a high point, as shown in the left. If there are several layers of charged clouds, (he lightning may leap from one to another, and finally to a high point, as shown in the middle picture. If otic charge is heavy, one high point may be insufficient, and the lightning will leap from the cloud in great darts and jagged forks, striking several points at once.

rpr~l ENJAMIN FRANKLIN was H the first to prove by his kite I and other experiments that lightning Is caused by electrical discharges between clouds, or between clouds and tre earth. We know that the air and the earth are charged with electricity of opposite kinds—positive and negative—and that there is a constant interchange of electricity going on between them. Ordinarily this does not manifest itself as lightning, because moist air is a fairly good conductor. When the air becomes dry, however, the interchange becomes more difficult, with the result that the heavily charged, and enormous quantities of electricity accumulate in clouds. Finally when the charge becomes so great that it can overcome the resistance of the atmosphere, the electricity leaps violently across the gap to a hilltop, church spire, house roof, or to another cloud charged with an opposite kind of electricity, and there is a great flash like the sparks that leaps between opposite poles of an electrical machine, only infinitely greater. The heat produced by the discharge causes the particles of air to expand suddenly and compress those beyond, and when the current has passed the air contracts just as suddenly. As it rolls hack from all sides to fill the partial vacuum, the inrushlng air “collides” with itself, so to speak, and causes the tremendous noise we call thunder. In the center of a great electrical storm the discharges are so numer ous and frequent that the’whole air seems filled with blinding flashes of light, and incessant peals of thunder crash and roar In ear-splitting

office to office neglect the outside wires. Postoffice boxes sell for $250 in Miami and Tampa because mail service is poor and mail heavy. Telephones, too, are at a premium and one may sell t.ha right to his phone number for $l5O.

servient to admirals and brigadier generals, who never have been off the ground. “Os course, It is unthinkable, but it is a possibility." he said. "I venture to say that within ten days Great Britain could establish 1,000 bombirg planes in Canada which could horrass our cities. “We’re Unprepared” “We are unprepared to meet such an attack. “The only power that could think of attacking us, of course, is Great Britain. But it could, easily enough. “To meet this we need an army on land, submarines in the sea and planes in the air. “Dirigibles capable of crossing the Atlantic and returning with a fleet of airplanes are possible,” Mitchell said. “We need a real air force to protect the Atlantic coast and our insular possessions. Without it any army would be helpless. Urges Alaskan Base “If we are forced to defend ourselves against an Asiatic enemy, like Japan, their attack line would extend all the nay up to Alaska. “The Hawaiian Islands are not the keys to the Pacific. An enemy could come through Alaska by air. "Canada could set up airways all the way to Alaska so we could cooperate with her in defending the Paceflc. “We should have an air base in Alaska. Conditions are feasible there. lam quite familiar with that territory. I know what some enemy could do if they attacked in the air in Alaska. “And yet here we bury our heads in the sand like ostriches against these conditions.” Navy Is Denounced Mitchell scathingly denounced the Navy. “Don’t think the Navy is a means of defense today,” he said. "Except for their submarines, cruisers and smaller craft, the Navy is useless as a means of defense. “It sticks to worn-out theories and practices." Critizes Army, Too Senator Bingham, Republican, Connecticut, questions Mitchell. “How old are you?” “45.” “When did you learn to fly?” “In 1916 at Newport News, Va.” “How much flying pay do you get?” “Seventy-five per cent. Congress authorized this as a recognition of my services in the World War.” “What kind of planes have you flown?” “All there are, I believe.” Mitchell criticised the Army unsparingly .after his attack on the Navy. “Here again we run against the system,” he said. “The Army has no air force whatever. That applies to equipment, personnel, planes and * everything else. No Efficiency In It “There is no such thing as efficiency in it. “We have twelve pursuit planes.

volleys that seem to shake the earth. Small w’onder that, for thousands of years, mankind, in ignorance of the real cause, imagined that an angry deity was hurling bolts of fire at his ungrateful creatures! Photographers have obtained wonderful pictures of lightning, showing us flashes of irregular way outline filling the heavens, often branching into a multitude of ramification? like the limbs of a tree. Sometimes the flash descends to the earth in longs spirals or ribbons, some times in a thick mass of strands like an unraveled rope. Such flashes are called chain, forked, or zigzag lightning. Sheet or heat lightning is a sudden glow on the horizon, and Is usually merely the reflection of distant chain lightning. A third very rare kind of lightning is ball lightning, w'hich looks like a ball of lightning moving slowly just above the ground, as seen at night on a spar or yard of a ship it is called “St. Elmo’s fire.” Lightning rods of iron or copper, invented by Franklin to conduct lightning harmlessly from roofs to tie ground, are little used today. To be effective, a great number of points must be scattered over the roof, and the cost is so great in comparison with the chance of being struck by lightning that they are rarely erected except on farm buildings, which the larger insurance companies today usually refuse to insure. The lofty office building in cities are often struck, but with little damage, for the steel skeletons about which they are erected serve as gigantic lightning rods to conduct the current harmlessly to earth. Ships usually escape damage because the masts and iron stays act as lightning rods.

twenty-two bombers and the rest are DH-4'B with Liberty motors that are neither flesh, fish nor fowl. They are worn out and useless. “The Army is nothing but a national constabulary. What it can do is support the Constitution and quell insurrections.” Mitchell suggested that the coast artillery, including the anti-aircraft corps, should be abolished. “This branch continually asks for more money each year when its return is of little value,” he said. "In our Navy we have one poor little collier, rated as an airplane carrier and it can’t keep up with the fleet. Officials Incompetent “If we were thrown Into war tomorrow it would take us three years to meet It. “I make this statement with my intimate knowledge of how things are done. “All of our troubles have come about by virtue of the fact that the Air Service is controlled by non-fly-ing officers. This is true in both branches of the service. They regard aviation as an auxiliary. They have no knowledge of what it really Is. "Testimony and statements from these officers are absolutely worthless. They do not know what they talk about.”

RECEIVER SUIT CHARGES DENIED Union Insurance Company Made Defendant. Charges in a suit asking a receiver for the Union Insurance Company, 143 E. Ohio St., filed in the Superior Court Three by Marvin Crule, Madison Insurance Company receiver, were denied today by Hubert H. Woodsmall, Union Company president. Damages of $300,000 are asked in the suit. Receiver Crule alleged Woodsmall and twenty-two other defendants, all stockholders in the defendant company, made the Union Company a medium by which more than SIIO,OOO assets were transferred from the Madison Company to the use of the defendants. The Union Company, trustee for the Madison Company, is thoroughly sound financially. Woodsmall raid. Woodsmall said all matters concerning the Madison Company had been agreed upon, with the exception of one item. Crule charged the Madison Company’s assets were wasted so that he could not protect policy holders. Many of the twentythree defendants are stockholders in both companies.
