o Pid Yflu Ever ear of Ifni? Do you know the area and population of Great Britain’s African posses- sions? “Do you know the religion of the Serbian people? 4 Do you know the name of the capital of Malta? Every day—at home, in the office, in the club— there arise questions of this sort that are asked and left unanswered — because nobody knows. Many of us hated geography at school and forgot it as soon thereafter as possible. But—unless you are'con- tent to go ‘on saying “I don’t know” to questions like these, there’s an easy and inexpensive way to ¢+ have 10,000 geographical facts literally at your fin- ger-tips, ready for imme- diate use. Simply stop at or send to The Star office for a copy of the wonderful new map of the World Today and the United States. This map easures 28 by 42 inches, and is printed on both sides. . On one side is an up-to- the-minute map of the world, printed in colors, with an index giving im- portant facts about every country—its area, capital, population, form of gov- ernment, race of inhabit- ants, " religion and lan- guage. It gives, besides, a list of the world’s principal cities and islands and a list -of the dependencies of the great powers, with area and population. Read ‘what Mr: Stephen E. Kramer, assistdnt super- intendent of schools, said after ex¥mining the map: “The Evening Star’s news m3p is a good.geo- graphical laboratory for the home, and a fine sup- plement to the text book for the child.” Mr. Kramer pointed out that the map is invaluable to the adult or child when studying cur- “rent and historic phases of world and domestic events. The instantaneous finder on the map, which makes it possible to find every geo- graphical point within a few seconds, impressed Mr. Kramer. He also was equally impressed with the travel distance table, which shows the travel distances between railroad centers in the United States. The fcature of the map which distinguishes it from all- others is the Pleas- ants Instantaneous Finder, which enables you, in a few seconds, to locate any city, country or island. This de- vice is so simple that it can be used by any child who $ can read. s The map of the United States, with its index, en- ables you to ‘find every state, its capital, popula- tion, native and foreign’ born; the list of cities of “5000 and over, with the 1920 and 1910 United States census, and much other valuable information —all keyed for quick locat- ing by means of the Pleas- ants Instantaneous Finder. ¢ This wealth of informa- tion is at youricommand.

Nine of the officers and men in- jured ‘in’ the explosion of the air bomb at Aberdeen Tuesday are to- day at ‘the Walter Reed Hospltal here. They were brought in on & specially outfitted hospital car last night from the. soene of the ex- plosion. 3 Capt. J. E. Hall is reported to be in & most serious condition, & num- ber of fragaents from the bomb hav- ing lodged in his brain.. Burgeons at the hospital said today "that no efforts could be made to remove these -fragments. He also is suffering from || shock, contusions of the body and in- .| ternal injuries. One eye also has h-enudemyod Little hope is held for his ri Vlry Lieut, ' G2 and Private T. W. l-uu .uo are still in a serious condition, and Army surgeons at the hospital said today that at this time it could not be three would pull through. ‘The others who were brought to the hospital are reported to be rest- ing easily today. They are Lieut. L. R. Reese, Private F. P. Naave, Pri vate L. J. Bigelow, Private T. O'Neill, Private M. B. Blevins and Private’Edward Jarry. Invest tion Under Way. Secretary Weeks has instructed the inspector general's department of the Army to conduct a special investiga- tion of the disaster, and today an officer from that department is at Aberdeen. Assistant . Becretary of War J. Mayhew Wainwright also Jeft last night to conduct a special inves- tigation. Maj. William A. Borden and Capt. C. H. M. Roberts, who were dispatched from Washington by airplane imme- diately following notice of the acci- dent, have returned and made a re- port to Maj. Gen. Williams, chief of ordnance of the Army, and Col. C. L'H. Ruggles, chief of the technical staff. Col. Ruggles said today that their reports would not be made pub- lo until after the receipt of the formal report of the board of inves- tigation appointed by Col. Schull, commandant of the proving ground at_Aberdeen. . Borden brought the firat de- || Maj. tails of the disaster to the depart ment today in an oral report to G Williams. officially to fix the responsibility, in view of the separate investigations ordered for that purpose, he advanced a theory of the cause of the explo- sion. The facts upon which he based his conclusions are regarded by ord- nance experts as most exceptional. Holds Aceldent Extraordinary. | “The plane had been loaded with four bombs,” Maj. Borden said. * rack No. 1, at the right hand end of the plane, had dropped from the rack once. An examination showed no apparent defect either of rack or bomb and (.he bomb was replaced. Then it dropped a second time. “Meanwhile the motor had been started and the airplane was being turned around. The blast from the pro- peller of the machine started the pi peller on the bomb revolving. A ce tain number of revolutions of the bomb's |/ propeller releases a striking rod or plunger. - The propeller had apparently turned that'point when the tail skid—a piece of metal attached to the tail of the airplane—swung around and struck the propeller on the bomb, a most ex- | traordinary occurrence. “The blow evidently was all that was required to drive the plunger into the percussion cap attached to the fuse. The propeller had apparently turned to @ point where the blow would have re- lcased the plunger. The explosion fol- lowed.” Safety devices on the other three bombs prevented their discharge, in the opinion of Maj. Borden, although they were within fifteen feet Maj. Borden said one/of the men as- sisting in turning the plane saw the bomb when it dropped from its rack the | second time. He shouted a warning, and of the machine, looked down and. into the blast as the bomb exploded. He ex- plained that Capt. Hall's facial injuries ‘were probably due to that movement. THE WEATHER.
