Pot-Hunter’s Blunderbus
Wings 500 Ducks.
I
Postmaster William Mooney, of
Washington, has what is probably
the largest shotgun In captivity.
It was confiscated by game war
! dens from pot-hunters in the low
j er readies of the Potomac Itiver.
The blunderbus was mounted on
i a motorboat and was said to have
! brought down 50u ducks at one
i shot. It weighs 150 pounds and
! is nine feet long.

the higher a flyer goes the slower
his mental faculties function.
“Experiments have been going on
for more than a year,” he said, “with
a compartment which is impregnable
to the admittance of air through any
but an authorized channel. By at
taching this channel to the super
charge of an airplane engine, the air
in this compartment can be kept at
a level equal to that from which the
aviator started. In case of any dis
organization of' this system, an oxy
gen tank has been placed in the com
; partment. The mechanical devices
on this tank start operating as soon
as the air in the compartment reaches
a certain low point, and in this way
adverse renditions within are dis
sipated.”
Major Schrooder, the aviator who
tell six miles and lived to tell about
it, explained that the construction
of the compartment was ot very
light wood but that its durability has
been tested. The compartment lias
a tri-thickness of glass, and is fair
ly comfortable within, he said.
‘‘The altitude a person can reach
now depends on human endurance
! and not so much on the calibre of the
’airplane,” the aviator continued.
I "My altitude flight before I retired
| from the army was not to see how
! high I could fly but to discover what
| plane could best be used for photo
graphic purposes. That was the main
i thought when I first ascended into
i the air.
"During the flight 1 was blown con
slderably off my course and it was
jthen that I thought of the possibility
of the west to east coast flight with
the aid of the anti-trade winds, which
| blow west to east. I think it is pos
| slble, and that it will not be long
before the country will be startled
wdth such an actual accomplishment.’
HEALTH HINTS

The following nealth rules are be
ing used In schools throughout the
United States with the hope of
teaching every child the laws which
govern hpalth. Not only are they bo
lug used in the grammar schools, but
in the schools of higher learnln:
and we invite every mother and fa
ther to join their child in this Mod
ern Health Crusade, a crusade against
ignorance, self-indulgence and in
difference and one which will make
for better men and women and a high
er type of citizen.
In many of the states the Health
Crusade has become a part of the
school curriculum and is as much
a part of the school work as the

flank or protect the lines of com
munication. Moreover, these artificial
barriers can be kept barriers for!
Just as short a time as the strategy1
of the particular battle demands,
i These are but hints, hut show the
j tremendous unexplolted possibilities
of gas In warfare.
"One ran easily imagine the situa
tion at the time the fighting was
hand to hand with the spear or
sword, and gunpowder was first In
troduced, which Jn those days per
mitted the antagonists to fight at a
range of 100 or 200 yards. There I
must have been a great outcry as to
prohibiting the horrible new mode
of warfare, and It must have been
felt that It was very unfair to stand
off 200 yards rather than to meet in
combat man to man.
"But #io one looking hack on thnt ,
period would attempt to say that it
was possible to have stayed tli*>
hand of progress and to have prevent
?d by any legislation or agreement
the use of gunpowder in warfare.
Moreover, the consensus of opinion
today would be that the hand to hand
fighting with spear and sword was
more cruel and inhumane than the
fighting with the gun and ‘the bul
let. Similarly, at the present time
we cannot effectually stay the pro
gress of science, and to attempt to
do so Is not only unwise but is also
preventing the possibilities of a real
ly more humane type of war.”
