LITTLE INTERVIEWS

ARTHUR McDJFFIE-lt was ride
ulous TO say that my detectives had
better follow footprints instead OF
fngcrprintS. Our detective bureau is
second to none in the world.
JAMES JINN--It looks as If the va
ter-wagOn had fallen OF the water
front instead of somebody having fall
en- of the waterWagOn. To Judge
from the dust there, however, it may
be both.
JOHNNY MARTIN-The people
will never know the condition OF the
Ali LeOng block until they visit il.
You can read about it and hear about
It, but You won't know the condition
until you see it,
A. T, WISDOM-There has been
much inquiry as to the new bulletin
board which occupies prominent
place in the y. VI. {. \. lobby. Sec
rotary Super brought it from San
Francisco, where he found it in I; Chi
nese secondhand store.
T. J. RlAN-"SOap Box" Barron did
not start that ratification meeting, but
| did. If We wait for the organized
committees TO do anything it will be
pulled off about Christmas. | would
suggest that some OF our very reSpec-
table Democrats get a little sOap-bOX
steam into their respective systems.
WARREN H. COLSON-My study of
stamps reaches back number Of
years and has extended to every
country. on the globe, but | find espe-
cially interesting the history Of the
old Hawaiian stamps. of which have
gathered quite a collection. | shall
show these together with rare Amer
lean stamps at my lecture at Cooke

BIG MORTARS

weights are then marked plainly on
the projectiles, which are carefully
placed in position for quick handling.
The rotating band which circles the
! base of the projectile is calllpered 10
one-thousandth of an inch, and what
is known as the bourrelet, the swell
Immediately behind the head, when
grips the rifing, is carefully scraped
and cleaned.
Powder Tricky.
. The blending" of the powder is one
of the most delicate and interesting
operations, for no matter how care
fully this is done originally, some OF
the powder dries out faster than other
portions, under apparently the same
conditions, and there are other varl-
atoms in the same lot Of ammunition.
To make it as uniform as possible
then, the powder is piled in great
heap, and ten men with wooden SHOW
els divide it into ten equal piles. These
ten piles are then re-mixed the oper-
alton of separation and mixture being
known as a, "cycle." Several cycles
are required to assure the proper
blend.
The charges are then weighed down
to fractions of an ounce, seWed IN
bags, and tried out in the mortars, to
be sure that they will go in smoothly
when required. There have been in
stances when an entire target prac-
tice has been thrown out bcause 1t
tice has been thrown out because it
the powder bags did not fit.
The target itself is a small pyra-
midal one, to be lowed 400 yards be-
hind the navy tug Navajo, which has
been loaned by Admiral Cowles for
the purpose. Any splash coming with
in a 50-yard radius of the target is
considered a hit, the fall Of the pro-
jectile being taken by the splash.
Practice Now.
For some time past the tug James
Makee has been towing targets across
the zones of mortar fire to give the
men in the station practice at track
ing it's course Such calibre practice
has been finished, and the gunners
are now worked up to state Of keen
anticipation for the supreme test of
the year.
Monday the firing will be in the in
nermost zone, from $500 yards to
$500 range. Wednesday the target
will be towed at from 1900 to $500
yards. On each days practice there
will be four trial shots, and ten record
shots fired The record shots are fired
at one-minute intervals, from altern-
ate pits, every mortar being fired once
except tie No. l mortar of each pit,
which will be fired twice. The first
shot is the only one on Xhich~dme
can be saved, n being allowable to
fire as soon as possible after the UNI
pire gives the command to commence
firing, but after the first shot the 9TH
ers must be at regular intervals OF
one minute.
Lieutenant Colonel Campbell, adju-
tant general, is to be the umpire, and
as such is responsible for the safety
of the firing. Major Timberlake, COM
handing the coast artillery district,
has his command in a high state of
'7ciency, and good results are eX-
pected.
Last year there was some trouble
with the target, which became en-
tangled in the towing apparatus, and
the record practice was up to the best
standards Everyone at Fort Kruger
is anxious to make the coming shoot
ing as nearly perfect as possible.

DR.. ROOSEVELT

RooSCvclt's confession of faith' delivered
yesterday in Chicago, reads much more like the
label on the outside Of bottle of patent medi-
cine
The doughty colonel is claiming sovereign
remedy for every evil that hurts the BODY poll
tic from political headache to political govt, and
he has prescribed his patent medicine as cure
ALL Twenty thousand words of his prescription
were handed Chicagoans yesterday.
No such hodge-pOdge of issues has been sub
mitted to a convention for many campaigns past,
if at all. His adherence to the doctrine of recall
of judicial decisions was expected, but this is
only small part of the heterogeneous medicatcd
compound that he mixed and labeled "My Poll
cies'. Old-age insurance, pure-foOd legislation,
WOmans suffrage, government assistance to
wage workers, national industrial commission,
minimum wage law,-he pounded his pills and
compounded his nostrums with as much bold
claims to their efficacy as any peripatetic quack
e4tolling his wares from wagon-tal
This paper has already given Mr.. Roosevelt
credit for service he did his country in arous-
ing the ordinary citizen to a personal interest in
the affairs Of government and in raising the hue
and cry against corrupt wealth, but it has no
admiration whatever for OppOrtunism, and GER
tainly his declaration of faith has all the ear
marks of a bid for votes by an OppOrtunist
Roosevelt is too recent a convert to wonlans SUI
frage to gain many friends on this plank; his
recall of judicial decisions is almost as radical
as a recall of CONSTITUTIONAL provision; and his
proposals forrold-age insurance and a minimum
wage law are not measures of his. own creation
He may have taken up the exceedingly import
ant question of the tariff, but if so, the cabled
advices here gave no mention of the fact, and
certainly he could not have emphasized it or
made this an effective part of the 20,0OO-wOrd
declaration.
Even should the colonel slide into the White
House during this troublOus campaign, he would
not carry out half Of his platform promises, and
that is some reinsurance. His bark is eminently
worse than his bite So long as George w. Per
kins, Rilly7Flnn and others who do the handi-
work of great wealth are members of ROosevelt's
political cabinet, he will follow that famous SUI
preme court policy of applying the test of "reas-
onableness"
We all like the colonel because he makes our
politics interesting; he is shrewd campaigner,
aniphibious, ambidcxtrous and Omnivorous, and
he is cutting some figure in spite of the evident
dstruSt of his Judgment and his subOrlination
of means to ends.

While the political party leaders are wr"St-
ling over slogans that will catch the votes of tn"
people, some people might adopt the following
which will catch the eye of the politician: "TrnE-

being interpreted, means THE people are now
on the job and won't stand for shady political
methods"

Record of Talk Over phone.

Telephone conversation is likely to
play an important part In lawsuits and
criminal action at law with the per-
fecting of an apparatus by means of
which permanent record can be kept
of the words spoken over the tele-
phone. The improved telephone re-
ceiver is composed of two loud speak
ing telephones; one of these is fur
nished with the usual mouthpiece, the
other is connected with the vibrating
membrane of photograph. The cur
rent required for this telephone is a
little greater than for ordinary install
lation. The photograph record can be
made to reproduce the speech.
