w ASHINGTON-The high cost OF
w living is becoming a live topic
again. Much of the mail that comes
to members of congress daily deals
with the subject. Constituents of SEN
ators and representatives are saying
that If the legislative body can do any
thing to bring prices of the neces-
saries of life down, 1t ought to do it.
Among public men there is very gen.
eral agreement that the topic will be
to the front in the presidential cam
paign next year.
James Wilson, secretary of agricul-
ture, has come forward with the sug-
gestion that every large municipality
ought to take up the cost of living
problem. He thinks the problem OF
reducing the cost of living is one
that must be settled by municipalities
Federal legislation can, he declares
at best do but little toward bringing
prices down.

Huge Guns VIII Shoot Fifteen Miles

THINK of a gun which will hurl
i 1,4OO-potInd projectile through nine
inches of the best face-hardened steel
Is miles away from where it is fred
This is what Uncle Sans new 14-inch
guns will do. They will shoot beyond
the horizon. In other words, the
range of the monsters with which the
two new battleships, New York and
Texas, will be equipped is greater
than 1t is possible to see target the
size of a ship of the Delaware type.
Under the most favorable conditions
not even the tall masts of the Della
ware could be seen from a ship of the
same size Is miles away. And the
new 14-inch gun is effective at that
range.
The navy department has just COM
pleted a successful test of the gun
and work will go forward at once in
the Washington factory to make the
20 huge weapons needed for the two
vessels.
The recent tests made with the
naval service 12-inch gun on the old
battleship Texas in Chesapeake bay
showed that the efficiency of the gun
makers had reached a high state.
These 12-inch guns literally made a
sieve of the Texas at a range of 12,-

ing had ever been done. Eight to ten
miles is about the maximum for these
guns.
The new 14-inch guns weight is $50
tons. The diameter at the breech or
butt is At inches and at the muzzle "a
inches. The cost of one gun and
breech is STATIC. The carriage upon
which the gun will be mounted in the
turret of the vessel will cost $4,000.
The projectile weighs 1.400 pounds,
is sc inches, or five and one half feet,
in>Iength and costs $3.50. 1t is loaded
with a bursting charge of As pounds
of "dunnite." The powder charge
used behind the projectile to give it

half a minute from the time of firing
before the projectile would hit the

Army Regulations Are Being Modified

dition could be brought about AS
long as young soldiers were sent to
jail and herded with criminals for
trivial offenses, they believe, the army
would continue to be stunned by a
large class of desirable men who
would otherwise be inclined to enter
the service
One of the first reforms to be in
augurated was that of the sentences
administered for slight attractions of
army law. The most common of these
offenses now, as it has been for many
generations, is desertion, and most
of the assertions are unintentional.
Upon conviction the culprits are
sentenced to three to six months in
a military prison, not because their
offense merited such punishment, but
because the ancient regulations had it
that way.
Under the new system the punish
ment for mild cases of desertion is
merely a deprivation of leave, extra
work or the cutting off of special al
lowances. The guardhouse is only to
be used for real offenders and the
military prison for hardened Grim

Capital to Lead in High Prices War

that if Washington would conduct an
investigation that resulted in obtain
ing cheaper food for the people, other
cities would soon become interested.
Secretary Wilson suggests that
President Taft appoint a commission
to study the situation here at the ma
tional capital. The president has in
dicated that he is willing to carry
out the suggestion of his secretary OF
agriculture if the people of Washing
ton would indicate that they really
want such an investigation made.
Zone of the most pitiful things of
modern tines said Secretary Wilson,
is the manner in which the poor of
the large cities are beaten down by
the prices which prevail at this time.
The prices are such that no man work
ing for ordinary wages can meet them
They are beyond the pocketbook of
the poor, and there is nothing that
gives the poor any protection from
them. This condition undoubtedly pre-
walls in nearly every city.
THE farmer does not get half the
price the consumer pays. Many per-
sons are inclined to place the blame
for high prices on the farmers, but as
a matter of fact the farmers are not
benefited by the high prices. A few
middlemen, selected individuals, who
step in between the farmer and the
consumer, are the persons who reap
the benefit"

less. Also, whereas last year there
