Sharpshooters Protect Themselves

In the French army the implements
for defense while advancing against an
enemy are shovels and picks for ex-
cavating earthworks, and hatchets,
saws, hooks and shears for the destruc-
ton of obstacle. Each company Of
French infantry is now provided with
200 spades, 80 pickaxes, 10 hatchets,
and 16 pair of shears. These are carried
upon the knapsack or hooked to the
belt, each soldier carrying some one of
the implements. a
In advancing against an enemy on q
battlefield which : does not present
natural shelter, the companies of sharp
shooters are paired off, lying down the
moment they stop. If the contending
armies are not espe cially close. together
and the stops between advances are
short a mask of earth to protect the
head is sufficient, and one soldier fires
while the other is throwing up his
mound of earth.
If the armies are close together and
the siege long one, q trench is dug
The moment the advance stops one
soldier commences firing while the
other digs trench as an added protec-
ton. When his task is completed he
slides into the trench and opens fire,
while his companion stops firing and
constructs a similar trench in the same
way.-Popular Mechanics.

Alleged He Was Deported

Chas. N. Platt, q miner working for
the Esmeralda Water & Milling Com
pany at Candelaria, arrived in Goldfield
on Saturday and swore to complaint
charging J. A. Lawlor, M. Walsh,
Patrick Cooney, Robert McNeff and
John Collins, fellow workmen, with
abusing him and deporting him from
the camp of Candelaria. He alleges in
the complaint that because he wit
messed some trouble between the five
men and F. s. Gruble, agent for the
company, and spoke of what he had
witnessed, the men went to his cabin,
and after beating him marched him
seven miles out into the desert, where
they made him kneel and take an oath
that he would never return to Candle
laria, that they then gave him q bottle
of water and ordered him to hike. He
waited until the men returned to camp
and then returned to his cabin, where
he stayed until the next morning when
he boarded a stage and left Candelaria.

MiSsiOnarY'S Little Joke


The Koreans in the vicinity of Seoul,
the capital city, and around the treaty
ports are fast losing their early guile
lessness in trying to follow the march
of Western civilization. In the noun
tains of the interior, however, condi-
lions are much the same as in the days
when Korea could justly be termed the
Hermit Nation" and the inhabitants
knew little and cared less about Occi-
dental progress.
Among the American missionaries
who were in the habit of making pro-
tracted trips in the interior of the coun-
try there was one who, in addition to
being jealous worker, was also a good
deal of a wag.
On the occasion of one of his inland
journeys he found himself at nightfall
In small village, where he was to
spend the night in the straw thatched
dwelling of one of the native converts.
5i.,The sleeping chamber, was. the usual
Tiny room, heated by a system of hues
beneath the mud floor, and rendered
nearly air-tight by closely fitting oil
paper windows and doors.
! 1t was fearfully hot, and about mid
night the American could stand it no
longer; so he strolled out in the open
for breath of air. The villeage was
wrapped in slumber, so just for a joke,
and with no Interior motive, the mis-
sionary let out Il lusty imitation of a
ROSTERS crow. This was Immediately
taken up by a wakeful bird in q court
yard near by, and in few minutes
every fowl was adding his morning sa-
Lutte to the general chorus.
Now, watches and alarm clocks were
an unknown luxury in the village, and
the people were accustomed to time
their rising hour by the roosters. In a
few moments, therefore, the sleepy Ko-
reans came struggling out of their little
huts, and after starting the fires on
which to boil the morning rice, lighted
their long bamboo pipes and squatted
round i'll little groups to wait for sun
rise
Their amazement can be imagined
when the hours went by and still there
were no signs of light in the east.
'Irun chamew said one to another
as with open mouth he pondered over
the phenomenon.
Years have passed since then, but in
at least one village in Korea all events
still date back to 1.-The night when the

KEROSENE FOR
WHITE STEAMER

The White Steamer picture on an
other part of this page is peculiarly
interesting as it shows one of the first
cars of the kind that burns kerosene
instead of gasoline. As everybody
knows. that is everybody who has ever
gone through the initiation of being
talked to by an automobile salesman,
the efficiency of gasoline when explod-
ing is just about twice that of the
same fluid when being burned to turn
water into steam.
But the kerosene burner has reduced
this discrepancy to almost nothing, as
the difference in price of the two oils
now makes a White Steamer as cheap
a fuel burner as any gasoline car
In regard to this feature that the
White people have brought out the
writer had some experience with a
kerosene launch engine. The kerosene
was supposed to explode in the cylinder
the same way that gasoline does, but
before starting the engine, it was nee
essary to get the explosion chamber to
an almost red heat before the engine
would buzz.
In order to arrive at this state OF
heat, the operator was provided with
a kerosene torch, which worked on very
much the same principal as a gasoline
one. The torch worked to perfection,
but the engine, especially if it was in
small launch and the seas. spurted in
board, would cool off at inopportune
moments and quit. The torch was a
success, the engine was a failure.
This same idea must have occurred
to the White company's experts. They
have experimental until they now have
a burner that will be as capable of ad-
iustment as the old gasoline fame and
yet burn for much smaller cost.
The subject of the picture gives a
good example of the up-to-date meth
DDS of the White management. When
there is any chance for the agent
to get busy with camera or to write
an interesting story, they are there with
the goods and no question about ex
pense. In providing a press car to ac-
company the grand old man of pedes
trianism on his walk across the con-
tinent. they made ten strike and this
is one of many equally attractive pic
lures that have been snapped up by
papers all over the mainland

Johnston and Siniohn, the Methuse-

he won two games out of three. The
score was 21-10, 1921 and 2l-15.
The second game was one of the
most hardly contested ever seen IN the
Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium and there
were some rallies that kept all the
spectators gasping.

PICTURE TRIAL IS POSTPONED

The management of the Athletic Park
was SO pleased with the aftermath of
the two great baseball games yesterday,
that it did not make much fuss about
not having a tryout of the moving pie
ture biznai last night.
The juice is already on the big wires
which run down to the operating room
back Of the press box, but the machine
itself and other things were not hooked
up in time to have trial last night,
so it will be delayed until tonight or
tomorrow night.
The Athletic Park people hope, how
ever to have the whole thing going by
Saturday night, when they will have
the only original transparent screen
effect in town. People on the grand
stand and bleachers viii be able to see
the pictures from one side, while those
who have the fancy to visit the grounds
in automobile or rig. viii be able to
see the pictures from the reverse side.

TWO UMplRES
ARE NEEDED

McHenry, the official umpire of the
Oahu league and some other crazy base
ball cranks, including Manager Burton
of the Orc company at the Orpheum,
who is the fanniest of the lot, had a
bee yesterday afternoon.
They travelled over all the baseball
league series from 1889 to the present
day. They discussed all kinds of trick
plays, squeeze plays and foo-foo plays
and finally arrived at the decision that
the league ought to stand for two UNI
pires.
Mr. McHenry explained why it was
impossible for him to see the third
base skin in the last inning of the
c. A. CD. A. C. game last Sunday.
There was man on first and man
on second and an outfelder to watch.
Could he see all three and the home
sure could if he had sixteen eyes all
over his head. Not otherwise.
This brings up the proposition of
double umpiring. The management of
the park is quite willing and, if the
several high muckamucks who run the
league are willing, there will be two
umpires there next Sunday.
incidentally the tanning bee that
these ball goops held was the most in
teresting thing to listen to- McHenry
handed out more details about intri-
cacies of the game than Goliath could
have shaken a club at, while that Bur
ton stated loudly that he would never
have gone near a stage if only some
body would have paid him salary to
sit on the bleachers and root.
If anybody has any baseball argu-
ment to settle, let them send it into
this office and it shall be submitted to
Joint conference of McHenry and Bur
ton,
