1 -ranging three tours to Europe this j

worthy American youths of foreign e\- j
••action an opportunity to visit the

he experience and first hand know!- j
i dge of other lands which foreign !
travel affords.
Seeks Worthy Students.
Ricardo G Durham, who has been '
traveling over the world since early j
boyhood, has come to Washington in
.he hope of interesting patrons in
meritorious students of this city who
cannot afford to make the European
trip at their own expense, but whose
records in school are deserving of the
opportunity to extend their studies
While here Mr. Durham is conferring
with public school and university offi
cials with a view to soliciting their ;
aid in choosing exceptional students
tor whom philanthropic cr otherwise
interested persons may make the trip
possible.
The tours are being arranged as an
educational trip, primarily to England,
Germany and Spain.
Baron von Prittwitz, th? German
Ambassador, is taking a personal inter- |
est in the trip to Germany, one of the i
three tours planned for this Summer.
He has been of much service in ar
ranging for the welfare of the boys
Ihrough the foreign service department
after their arrival in Germany and has
volunteered to do everything possible
to make the tour of Germany an edu
cational success.
The party destined to Germany will
sail on the Hamburg-American Line
about July 4 and will remain in that
country' for about six weeks.
Maj. Augustus Post, traveler, lecturer
and aeronautic expert, will be in charge
of the party bound for England on
July 17. Girls ~Vill be permitted on
this party. The trip is planned espe
cially to visit places of interest to
children of 14 years and up.
Maj. Post in Charge.
They will be with boys of their own
age and the descriptive lectures at the i
places visited will all be such as to
give them the proper perspective and
in language that they can understand.
Maj Post, who will be in charge of
the English tour. Is a man well quali
fied for this important task. He knows
boys and their ways, has worked with ,
them and knows how to keep them i
interested. One of the foremast aero
nautical experts, he drew the rules for
the New York to Paris flight which
was won by Col. Charles Lindbergh.
Sailing aboard the S. S. President
Roosevelt from New York on July 17
the party will return on August 31.
After seeing all the historic places of
old England, the party will cross the
English Channel to Ostend, one of the
most famous of European seashore re
sorts. Then they will go to Brussels
and to The Hague, where they will visit,
among other places, the Peace Palace.

Have You Had a
"SELECTOR”
Demonstration?
How interested
Washington has become in the
wonderful new traveling conve
nience created by Innovation’s
Selector Hanging System.
And it has all come about In
one short week, since the open
ing of the new Innovation
Luggage Shop.
It is more than a place to bay
fine luggage. It is this shop’s
business to demonstrate the
patented feature# of genuine
Innovation Trunks—that yon
may know for yourself how
much more convenient, secure
and pleasurable your next trip
can be.
Imagine a trank with twing
ing hanger arms that make all
garments equally accessible!
And each hanger arm may be
instantly removed and trans
ferred to your closet. The gen
uine Innovation can thus have
a solid (unhinged) top. It is
therefore lighter and more
rigid, saving "excess” and giv
ing lifetime mileage.

NEW HIGH EXPLOSIVE
EXPERIMENTS HELD
;‘Amotol” May Be Generally Used
by British Army if Tests
Succeed.
By the Associated Press.
KINGSTON. Ontario. May 25 (Cana
dian Press). —According to information
I received here from Ottawa,, “amotol” is
the name of the new substance said to
have been experimented with recently
as a high explosive at the Pettawawa
military camp. It is said that amotol
is a recent production of British chemi
cal engineers and is already being used
In some of the new guns with which
artillery divisions of the British Army
have recently been armed.
The guns themselves are of a secret j
mechanism, while experts all over the
empire, it is stated, declare the compo
sition is also "secret and confidential.” j
Experiments are being carried out by
the military authorities of all the do
minions of the British empire with
amotol. and it is stated here that pro
vided the cost of manufacture is no j
greater than that of cordite, the new
explosive will eventually be adopted as
the charge of the quick-firing guns.
One of the features of the new explo-
I sive, it is said, is that there is no char
red residue of the envelope containing
the charge, as there is in the case of
cordite. In cartridges of quick-firing
guns, charged with cordite, the charge
is contained in a cotton envelope and
|on opening the breech immediately
! after firing the remains of this envelope
| still remain in the empty cylinder, char
j red and smoldering, but when amotol
is used the whole content of the car
tridge case is immediately consumed.
