WILL FIRE AT CANVAS
INSTEAD Of AER0P[ANES
Targets for Fleet Will Be
Sheets Shaped Like Bal
looms and Airships.

No one being willing to offer himself
for a target, and even if he were, there
being a lack Of inclination on the part
OF army and navy gunners and rif1emen
to needlessly shoot at human being an
time Of peace. the targets for the aero
plane practice of the Atlantic feet and the
seacoast forts during tho August maneu-
vers will consist of nothing more valu-
able than sheets of canvas shaped to SIM
ulate dirigible balloons and aeroplanes.
These will be suspended from batteries
of powerful box kites. just as large
American flags are often carried hun
dreds OF feet in the air to the mystifica-
ticn Of admiring spectators.
To Use Army Muskets.
The present intention is to direct at
these targets nothing more formidable
than the army musket. the marines and
soldiers firing in squads. and a careful
record being kept of the damage inflicted
on the targets. 1t is possible that some OF
the small three-inch boat guns may have a
try at the targets, hut owing to the fact
that the guns cannot be elevated very
much. they must do their shooting at long
range, while the targets are low down on
the horizon.
The army ordnance bureau Is working
hard to perfect gun that may be safely
elevated to shoot into the zenith, but
while a suitable carriage has been de-
vised. no practicable way has been found
to adjust the sights of such gun be-
cause Of the variance In the trajectory OF
the projectile at the different eleyationA.

 SCIENTIFIC SHOPS

Washington, November 2.-Scientiflc shop management today received the en- dcrsement of the United States govern ment Secretary of War Stimson is con- vinced of it's desirability and advantages basing his conviction on A report made by Brigadier General William Crozier. chief of ordnance, which was made pub lie today.
 The secretary is satisfied that its intro duction into government workshops would work no hardships to labor.
 "It means betterment and in no ways an impairment of the conditions of la bor," he declared in a statement.
 The report has been awaited by organ ized labor and the employers with much interest. It is generally believed the que stion will be one that will figure largely in the coming national campaign and for this reason especially General Crozier's findings are regarded as being Of unusual import.
 The report shows that the principles Of the Taylor system are not new and that in many of it's details it has been cried for many year1 The basic idea Is the application of educated and scientifically trained intelligence to those operations of manufacture which were formely consid- cred either being of too small imoor- tance to attract attention or belonging entirely to the practice of a trade and were therefore left to the judgment or choice of those immediately and prac- tically connected with the operations.
