Big Business Forgot.

When Big Business met the
President in the White House
after the Willi Street smash in
dustry vowed that, whatever
might happen, it would not re
, duec wages.
6 Bin: Business even expressed
its relief that "high wages are
the real foundation of our pros
perity." '
j Promising is one thing, doing
is another. New York's labor
bureau reports 00 industries, or
big conecrns, that have reduced
wages since May. Lack of em
ployment has made this easy.
The cost of living is reduced
and it seems reasonable to some
employers not to let a man earn
more than it costs him to live.
Superfluity might spoil him.
Between men on the ground
and men in the air the differ
ence ought to interct our gov
ernment, responsible for na
tional defense.
It is illustrated in a petty
war of the British against A fri
ll is, tribesmen of Afghanistan. '
Ten thousand Afridis attack
ed the British in Peshawar. In
old days when Gordon was kill
ed it would have been neces
sary to send several thousand
British troops over the desert
on foot to meet the 10,000 Afri
ilis. That is changed. The, Brit
ish sent 50 airplanes, two men
in each airplane, 100 in all.
Those 50 airplanes with bombs,
machine guns, suffice to dis
courage the 10,000 Afridis.
If they chose to use the real
poison gas they could do more
than -discourage them.
Instead of losing thousands
fighting barbarians as in the
old days, Britain will lose per
haps two or three men, per
haps none.
Admiral Pratt, commander in
chief of the United States navy,
tells the Institute of Polities at
Willianistown, Mass., that the
world must have laws against
using airplanes in war against
inhabitants of cities behind the
trenches.
It is a benevolent idea, but
unfortunately it would not
work in war. The British, as
you see, are at this moment
fighting savages from the air,
most effectively. Other nations
do the same. All would do it,
to win. i

breathed deeply and smiled once
more.
Week-end showers and cooler
breezes brought temperature drops
of 10 and even 20 degrees over
most of the country. Although in
most instances precipitation was
not heavy euougli to bring the
drought-stricken crops out of dan
ger, at least no more damage was
done.
Only in the southern tier of
states wore there temperature read
ings yesterday approximating those
of a few days ago. Of the dozens
of stutions reporting to the Chi
cago headquarters of the weather
bureau, only two had temperatures
of over 100 degrees. They were
Little Rock and Oklahoma Lily,
both with 102.
'arts of Kansas were none too
comfortable. Dodge City and Wich
ita recording 98 degrees and Con
cordia 98, but the temperatures in
the other central states were near
the normal for the season, most of
them In the 70's and 80's. Chicago's
high for the day was 72 with Clevo-!
land 70 and Minneapolis 74.
New Yorkers enjoyed the coolest
day in 10 days with an early morn
ing rain ami a northwest ureezo
keeping thermometers at 8S and
lower. Louisville's maximum was
also S3 and Kentucky as a whole
was much cooler. A heavy wind
storm injured seven persons and
caused extensive property damage
In the Louisville vicinity but
brought only a little rain.
Showers fell at a few points In
the corn belt ami over the middle
Rocky Mountain region and in New
England. Nearly all sections- of
Iowa received some rain yesterday
and in a few localities It. whs heavy
enough to be of real benefit to the
crops and pastures. There were
also showers in parts of Missouri
and Illinois.
St, Louis received a rainfall of
.4 of nn inch but was not yet ovor
the effects of the heat wave. Throe
persons died as a result of pros
trations earlier in the week. There
were also two deaths in Cincinnati
attributed to the heat, although
the mercury got no higher than 81
yesterday.
The most unusual bit of weather
news came from Plattsburgh, N. Y.
Travelers arriving there after driv
ing through the eastern Adiron-
dacks reported extreme cold in the
mountains and a Hurry of snow.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 11. (IP)-
The weather bureau today main
tained Its predictions for showers
during the week ovor portions of
the drought urea.
Rains were expected for portions
ol' northwestern Minnesota, eastern
and central North Dakota, western
South Dakota, western Kansas and
western Nebraska within the next
36 hours. These states, however,
do not need rain as badly as most
of the Ohio valley but some alle
viation there was expected by
Wednesday or Thursday.
Showers also were predicted for
Tuesday afternoon or night in west
ern Kentucky.
The weather bureau officials are
careful, however, to point out the
showers might not break the
drought, or might even fall to ma
terialize. ETO

The machine, containing two men

It approached Providence at about

The first bomb .struck near Clay

Then tho machine dived towards

rose from a field.
The plane circled the town and

dropped near the Meador, Yound

Tho department of commerce today
ordered an Immediate Investigation
after receiving reports that an air
plane had been used to bomb coal
mines near Providence and Clay
City In Kentucky.
Clarence M. Young, assistant
secretary of commerce for aero
nautfes, said the pilot of the piano
and his helpers had violated fed
eral Htatutes, not once, but several
times.
"Tho transportation of explosives
can be done only hy special
rangement and pormisHion, while
dropping of explosives or anything
else in flight, deliberately, with 1n
tcntlon to produce damage or by
negligence, in a crime," Young said.
"This Is tho first occasion upon
which any such activity has been
reported to us and wo shall do our
beHt to deternilno whero respon
sibility lies. At tho same time, it
must bo realized very connlderiihle
