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
calibre 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-
mained.
At the last test over 5000 consecu-
tive shots were fired from the Colt for
endurance and the arm remained in
perfect condition, maintaining its rec
ord for perefct scores and outranktng
its competitor in accuracy, rapfdity OF
action and durability; 1t showed less
shock from recoil, greater reliability
and power, and as a consequence was
the unanimous choice of the Ordnance
Board. (See detailed report in Army
and Navy Journal" New York, April
The government has thus proved to
It's own satisfaction, and for the bene-
fit of the world. that the Colt auto
matte pistol is the superior Of all other
makes, and the merits that carried this
particular model through exacting
tests that showed the weaknesses OF
other types, are those which have al
ways made the old reliable Colt" the
proven standard OF the firearms world.

Rabbi Egelson Accepts
Call to Greensboro, N. G

A call to the Hebrew Temple of
Emanuel, at Greensboro, N. c., has
been accepted by Rabbi Louis Egelson,
ot Washington. defeated for reelection
by the congregation Of Adas Israel
synagogue.
Rabbi Egelson will leave Washington
Immediately to begin work in his new
field, the only Hebrew congregation Of
Greensboro.
Progressive and orthodox Hebrews Of
Adas Israel are apparently hopelessly
deadlocked over the successor to Rabbi
Egelson. The church Is an orthodox
Hebrew organization, but during the
incumbency of Rabbi Egelson has been
strongly progressive. A successor to
Rabbi Egelson may not be chosen be-
fore fall.
For two years Rabbi Egelson has
served the Adas Israel congregation. He
was born in New York, and Il widely
known among American Hebrews. Seve-
raj calls were received by Rabbi Egel-
son before the Greensboro offer was
accepted.

cents the price of the ticket was in
creased to 8 cents. while IL 1t was less
than 24 cents It was knocked or alto

Representatives Of several Western
and Southern railroads today took up
the task Of trying to convince the COM
mission that seeming violations Of the

clared that in certain sections compe-

forced to disregard the clause In order
to prevent huge losses.

a certain J.. Day, who lourished in
the eighteenth century, actually In
vented a boat which was capable of
remaining under water, with a man on
board for a considerable length of
time and at a depth Of several feet.
The vessel had a false bottom, stand
ing on feet like a butchers block. and
In this the ballast necessary TO sink
the boat was placed. When the
manipulation. within the vessel desired
to come to the surface he undid the
bolts which held the false bottom and
the vessel rose to the surface Of its
own accord. leaving the false bottom
behind.-Chicago Tribune.
