MAXIM GUN WILL SILENCE WAR
BUT WILL NOT AID A.SSASSLNS

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW HAVEN. Conn, Feb. 15.-
Will future warfare be noiseless?
Hiram Percy Maxim says yes.
After his wonderful demonstra.
ton in New York, when he dis
charged the guns of all the sorts
used by European armies in pub
lie building, without noise, it
seemed like a good opportunity to
get the young man with the long,
brushed back hair down to facts.
Absolutely noiseless," was his
answer.
"But what about cannon?"
Easier than guns" he replied.
"Big cannon"
THE bigger the better"
Then he explained: Il took up
hand arms first because there, at
the muzzle, the velocity is greater
and more confined than in any
other weapon. If could stop the
noise waves at the muzzle of a
rifle / knew l could stop them at
the end of the cannon, where the
impact is distributed over a wider
range"
You didn't hear any noise when
! fired the guns, did you?" he
asked.
1T sounded like the light clap
ping of hands," the reporter an
swered
WELL" he continued, I've got
muffler rof three inch cannon.
Can you image what the cannon
sounds like with the silencer on?
1t sounds just like the exhaust of
small automobile-not the harsh
exhaust Of a motor just starting,
but the soft exhaust of motor
running rapidly-just like one little
report
Now, here's my idea about can
non: The bigger the bore the
greater is the surface over which
the rush of gases is distributed.
Therefore the less the forse of the
gas impact at any given point. You
can see, therefore, how the strain
> on the silencer would be less in a
cannon than in a rifle"
But a huge, IL inch cannon

you don't mean to say you can 81
lence them, do you?"
my silencer will reduce their
noise to puff that could be heard
only short distance" replied
young Maxim.
Are you going to put these
silencers on revolvers?'
mo. they won't do any good on
revolvers. So much of the noise
issues from the shell end of a re-
volver that my muffler wouldn't do
any good"
Incidentally it was explained
that there were moral reasons for
not putting the silencer on revolv-
ers. I'VE do not intend to aid
assassins.'
Young Maxim, like all great in
ventors, goes to the simple prin-
ciples to explain his device. Did

LONG AND ORSIE
GO FOUR ROUNDS

Louis Long and Louis Orsie will
meet in the squared circle under
the auspices of the Imperial Ath-
letic club in four round bout next
Monday evening in the Occur
d'Alene theater. Orsie has agreed
to make 40 pounds for the match,
but will be almost 10 pounds
heavier than his rival.
The bout will be lively one, as
long has started training in earn
est, and is expecting to put up the
battle of his life. He will train
at the Imperial club, while Orsie
will train with Kid Scaler and Cuff.
There will be at least three pre-
liminaries in addition to the main
bout, and Heinie Ritter Is slated
for a good match.
Aside from the main event, the
big scrap will be battle royal, in
which four colored fighters or
near-ighters will be placed in the
ring at the same time, and a sur
vival of the fittest will take place.
This is expected to form big
part of the attraction at the meet.

Bennington Banner.
Most certainly; the voters cannot
dodge the responsibility if they want
ed to, for the judge of probate is
elected by the voters, except in the
interim when death, disqualification
or some other cause makes a vacancy
when the governor has the power to
fill the Office just as he has the right
to fill other positions.-Barre Times.
Most certainly right, but the editor
OF the Times is aware that the Office
OF Judge of probate is one in which
few changes are made save by the
death of the occupant And when the
grim reaper has created a vacancy
it has been customary to fill it by the
appointment of a man of recognized
ability for the position and to elect
and re-elect him for many terms. II
is an office in which, from the very
nature of its business, there should be
as few changes as possible, feature
that has been generally recognized
as is evidenced by the long service OF
these officials in every district in the
state. Had the consensus of the vot-
ers of Washington county been OBJ
tanned instead of submitting the
choice of appointee to the lawyers OF
Barre the result might have been SO
conclusive that an undesirable politi
cal scrap for the office might have
been avoided.

Probably the most welcome news con-
corning tailored suits for fall is that
there is a fit for every figure. The old
method of fitting every figure with the
same model resulted in many misfts az
to lines and more insists as to sightli-
ness. To overcome the alteration
problem and to provide every figure
with a model that not only fits but har-
monizes with the age and size has been
the effort of the designer and the re-
suits are hailed with delight by women
everywhere.
We find the regular figure is fitted
best of course with the ideal design.
1t not only fits but has the general
style demanded by hat figure. Half of
us wear this model probably but look
around and 9 the many stout women,
little women and misses.
To fit the large women the stout suits
were especially designed. Designed
not only in line and shape but in ensom-
bic as the styles worn by the large
women must be adapted to her figure.
For the girl in her teens we find the
Junior Suits. These are sometimes
worn by little women but are usually
too youthful to look just right on the
little women On the girl in her teens
they look just right and have the juv-
emile ideas in every feature. The skirts
reach to the shoe tops and the whole
makeup is that of the budding miss.
Probably the best feature Of these
various models is not SO much in the
fitting qualities as in the ~propriety
with which they to match the
various styles OF figures.
than a young man dressed in an old
mans suit. Or a knicker aged boy in
youths long pants. In mems clothing
we find the Regular suits, Stout suits,
Slim suits, Youths suits, Boys suits
and Children's suits. These various
models account for the fact that men
can go to a store and get a stylish,
dressy and good-ftting suit and take it
home with him, while we we're COM
PEELED to wait on the dressmsker for
weeks and perhaps months and then
find that the style selected was not ex-
actly suited to our general makeup.
But that worry is a thing of the past.

surely and now comes the tailors and
