There is one significant fact which
bears on the question of a college edu'
cation for girls. 1t is that all the
American women who have won dis
tinction in original work of any kind,
received the old-fashioned training.
College-bred women, so far, have been
successful only as teachers. Is this
because the woman in one case was
suffered to develop naturally, like a
growing tree, and in the other was

Des Moines. July s.-Some advesss
comment has been made upon the re-s
ports that Adjt. Gen. Byers is opposed
to the Krag- -Jorgenson rife for the usA
of the Iowa National Guard and that
he preferred 3s-caliber Springfield to-
use smokeless powder. The inference
has been drawn from this report that
the adjutant general was about to
squander the states money In the pur-
chase of what is known as . bastard
iarm-that is, gun not indorsed by the
United States governments and Tor
which the ordnance department does
not furnish ammunition. OF scoursea
Gen. Byers had never had any such
idea as this. He has said and does cay:
that in his judgment gun OF larger!
fcaliber would be more effective. That
has been the experience OF the recent
war. Men were shot thru and thru.
shot thru the body, shot thru the arms
shot thru the legs with 30-caliber high
power rifles shooting steel Jacketsdi
bullets, and these men went right:
along about their business, feeling only
a little prick at the time and not fssl-I
ing the effect OF the wound for some
time afterwards, but continuing 20
fight. The small caiiber bullets pierce
a tiny hole and do but little damage.
The larger caliber bullets have . more
crushing force and il man 10 struck

fatal wound, he is incapacitated from
that instant for further fighting. This
is one Of the chief arguments against .
