new PISTOL FOR army
Government ADOPTS
COLT AUTOMATIC

After years OF searching investiga-
ton and rigidly imposed tests, the
War Department has settled the ques-
ton of automatic pistol superiority by
adopting as the army standard the
caliber As Colt automatic pistol. model
1911. manufactured by the Colts Pat
ent Fire Arms Manufacturing Com
pany OF Hartford. Conn
During these trials automatic pistols
of the worlds best makes have one by
one proved unequal to the trying or
deals and exacting requirements OF
the ordnance experts until at the final
crucial test only the Colt and one
other prominent American make re-
manned.
At the last test over 5000 copsccu-
tive shots were fired from the Colt for
endurance and the arm remained in
perfect condition. maintaining its rec
ord for perfect scores and outranking
its competitor in accuracy. rapidity OF
action and durability; it showed less
shock from recoil, greater reliability
and power, and as a consequence was
the unanimous choice of the Ordnance
Board. tSee detailed report in Army
and Navy Journal New York, April
]. IoII0
The government has thus proved to
its own satisfaction. and for the ben
eft of the world, that the Colt auto.
matte pistol is the superior OF all
other makes. and the merits that car
ried this particular model through ex-
acting tests that showed the weak
nesses of other types are those which
have always made the old reliable
Colt the proven standard of the fire.

MUSTPUT ONBRAKES
American Republic May Suffer
Fate of Roman Empire.
SIMPLE LIVING THE BEST
Representative Nye Deprecates
Greed Of Money-Getting and
Praises Puritan Ideals.
SIMPLE LIVING THE BEST

| Pointing TO the strain of Puritan blood
| which has Influenced American life since
| the days of the colonies. Representative
Frank NJ. Nye of Minnesota. speaking
| to the members of the Society of May
flower Descendants, last night argued
| that the time is fast coming when Ameri
| ca will have to put on the brakes and
shut down on the speed of living or else
| suffer the fate of the Roman empire. The
meeting of the society was held at the
home Of Thomas NJ Gale. 300 street.
| The pioneers of the old days caught a
glimpse of vision which showed them
this great republic and what it is to be,
| truly believe said Representative Nye.
1T was the same vision which Paul saw
| when he endured prisons. shipwreck and
| lashings for the one end of all his efforts
and the promise which he saw in the
skies.
Lincoln and Phillips Shared Vision.
Lincoln had the vision when he was
young man, thoughtful and silent; Wen
dell Phillips had the vision when he laid
aside temporal ambitions to fight for his
own convictions. The pioneers Of the May
flower, enduring hardships, the like Of
which We have no parallel today, saw
days OF the voyage kept their faith up
by il.
I'm the enervated conditions Of today
there Is nothing so strenuous for our
young men there was in the hard
conditions of the colonial days. Some
times j wish that some experience would
come to this republic that would do
away with the pampered conditions Of
our young men, so many OF whom have
to be fed. and loved. and treated SO
kindly.
Simple Life the Best.
The Puritans' power lay in the SIM
plicity Of their life. There was none of
the excitement and greed Of money-get-
ting. and rapid living through modern
inventions and appliances had not taken
hold upon us.
Yet the spirit Of the Mayflower lives
throughout our country. and will leaven
| 1t and will be disseminated throughout
this broad land. to do more good than
even Congress can do

Differ on Patronage Question.

After the reciprocity and free list bills
hsd been put out of the way. the caucus
despite opposition from an active minor
fly, stuck by the proposition of having
all patronage dispensed by a committee
on organization. This committee will
consist of Representatives Lloyd OF
Missouri, Foster of Indiana and Hum
phries of Mississippi. Some members
were rather irritated because, although
original reports indicated they were each
to have aibount 81, 100 in patronage. the
actual figures would be nearer 81 ,UD.

OPEN FIRE ADDS TO CHEER IN
FALL AND WINTER MONTHS
1t Is Exceptionally Cheering Where There Has Been
Serious Illness and the Convalescence Is Depress-
ingIy Slow-An Races Own Its Fascination.

Because stoves, furnaces, and radia-
tors have been evolved for the comfort
of modern people there is no reason why
every fireplace in the house should be
closed up. with no possibility of using 1t
occasionally. at least for an open fire;
and 1t is the wise woman who knows
fire as an aid to the doctors treatment
and a brightener Of low spirits in any
members of her household.
The environment of the open fire is
the environment Of cheer and brightness,
and no one can come nuder the influence
Of the cracking flames and glowing en-
bers without responding to their opti-
mistic influence.
In the home where there has been a
serious illness and the convalescence Is
depressingly slow and wearisome to the
invalid, try the open fire In his or her
room, If only for the early hours, in Or
der to get the day started well, though
1t Is, perhaps, even greater help toward
the gloominess of dusk and to make the
evening hours more genial and happy.
All races of mankind, savage and civil
lized, have yielded to the fascination of
the open fire, so why should not the de-
pressed, the dull, or the i'll person of
to-day be benefited by responding TO this
long inherited need of his nature and an
open fire be instituted in the house as an
auxiliary to the established heating ap-
paratus?
The usual answer to this query is that
the cost is prohibitive, and yet this is
only an imaginative deterrent not an
ascertained fact. In some sections hick-
ory, oak, and other suitable woods are
plentiful, while in all the cities anthra-
cite coal may he had at current prices.

A member Of the Puzzle Circle told me
last week that the tangles given her
through The Heralds Page for Every

of recreation.

This is perhaps the greatest reason Of
all for the puzzles
of recreation to so many women who
rarely get away from home that they
have held enthusiasm for so many
months, gaining in popularity each week.
Then, when we add to these induce
ments, the little cash prize awards made
weekly we have still another incentive
which is not small just now to the
woman who Is saving her money for the
Christmas holidays, now less than two
months distant.
The usual prizes are offered this week
for the solving Of the names of the

WEAR HOLIDAY SPECTACLES

c. girls, who are such awful bores, per-
haps would seem as interesting and
mysterious to strangers as were the sis
ters D., whom you took the trouble to
draw out while you were away.
That's all very we'll" says some wom
an who is blessed with the power to
discern the streak OF humor which runs
through most of our woes. 'I might try
to wear holiday spectacles all the year
around. but the people I know would
never think of putting them on to look
at me, And that was half the secret of
the attractiveness of the people 1 met
at F. They were all as interested
in me!
The Difference at Home.
Nobody here thinks 1t worth while to
find out what like best to read, or
what my dearest ambitions are. It is
trying to live among people who never
look at you any more than they look at
the nearest pillar-box or the pictures on
their own walls"
But then, would she make it worth
their while If they did? Would she exert
herself to show her best side, to appear
always gOOd-humored and spirited and
faultlessly dressed? Most likely she
would think it too much of a bore.
