U. S. Has New Mar
vles, Guns and Bombs
Washington.—A supersensitive fused
shell that will burst on contact with
the cloth of an airplane wing, and a
2,000-pound projectile that will pass
through sixteen inches of hardened
steel before exploding, are two of the
wonders of modern ordnance that will
be exhibited for members of the Army
Ordnance Association, American So
• ciety of Mechanical Engineers, and So
ciety of Automatic Engineers, at the
association’s annual field day at Aber
deen proving grounds, Maryland, to
morrow.
Among the demonstrations will be
the latest development in the sixteen
inch gun. This gun has a range of
twenty six miles. It could be fired
from the other side of Long Island and
make direct hits on New York City.
The gun would fire a projectile of
more than a ton in weight, which
, would go ten miles into the air before
, coming down to the ground. Upon
, ctriking, this projectile could pass
through sixteen inches of steel and
it hen explode. This gun has been de
signed^ primarily for use in seacoast de
tenses, against battleships.
. , A similar gun, fourteen inches in
• diameter, with a length of fifty feet,
has been mounted on a railway car for

range of twenty-th ee miles, uriog a
projectile weighing 1,560 pouutis.
This projectile would pass over the
highest mountain in the world, in pac
ing from the gun to the target*- Upon
striking the target it would penetrate
thirty or forty feet in the ground and
then explode, making a crater sixty
feet in diameter and thirty feel derp.
To shoot this projectile requires about
500 pounds of powder.
A 2,000 pound bomb will be dropped
from an airplane at a height of 8,t90
feet. It will take the bomb approxi
mately twenty-three seconds to come
down. Upon hitting it will penetrate
about forty feet before exploding, mak
ing a crater fifty feet in diameter.
A flotilla of such airplanes might he
able to bomb the Woolworth building
in New York City if it were inade
quately protected with anti-aircraft
guns. One of these bombs striding the
building would penetrate nearly to the
first floor before exploding, and upon
exploding would completely wreck the
building.
After dark an airplane will drop air
plane flares, which will be equivalent
in lighting etYect to 10,000 ordinary
Mazda lamps, and will burn from six to
seven minutes.
To the Flapper,
Blessings on thee, little dame—
Bareback girl, with knees the same
With thy short, transparent clothes;
With thy rolled-down silken hose;
With thy red lips, reddened more.
Smeared with lip stick from the store;
W’ith thy make-up on thy face,
And thy bobbed hair’s jaunty grace,
From my heart I give thee joy—
Glad that I was born a boy.
Barber—Who trimmed you last?
Sam—A blonde.

Barbers Want State
Law Against Tipping
Chicago.—Enact ment of an anti-tip
piug iuvv in Illinois will be urged at
tile uext session of the legislature at
Spring held by the Chicago Journey
men Barbers’ Union, Arthur Benedicto
Raymond, secretary of the union, an
nounced last night.
“Elumuatioo of tipping in barber
shops means reduction of the bresent
exorbitant prices of haircutting and
shaves,” said Raymond.
‘•The master barbers no1* depend on
the public to help them defray their
employes’ salaries by slipping the bar
bers a ‘thin' dime on completion of
tonsorial work. Kentucky has an anti
tipping law. Illinois should have a
similar one. Investigation shows that
50 cents for a haircut and 20 cents for
a shave are fair prices, i
now are 60 cents for a ha^r
cents for a shave. Some p:a
as hi eh as 75 cents for a cut.
Hard Time for

Two automobiles of the dry

through the saloon windows, an
police were virtually helpless to
the disturbance for several hours
dry agents still are in the raid*
loon, fearing to leave.
