fected by either direct or transmitted heat no
matter of rapid and longcontinued firing.
The development tests of the gun. which have
been in progress for two years, show that the
barrel does not become overheated under con-
tinuous fire at full speed, and that it will not
therefore be necessary to carry along an extra
barrel when on the firing line. Since no cooling
water is necessary. and no special mount except
small stake or cowboy mount weighing about
eight pounds, the field equipment of the Lewis
gun is reduced to minimum. The gun may be
fired from any natural support found in the field
such as a rock log stump tree mount of
earth. 1t is even possible to empty magazine
while holding the gun to the shoulder or from the
hip. as the recoil effect is scarcely noticeable
1t is a matter of note that one of the most
conspicuous things the battlefield in South
Africa was the jet of steam from the boiling
water which was being used on the barrels OF
the rapid fire guns for cooling purposes.
The gun is simplicity itself. 1t has only forty
seven parts as compared with twice that number
for other rapid fire guns On the battlefield or
In the air where tools are necessarily scarce and
where they are needed more than anywhere else
when they are wanted the Lewis gun would GER
tainly cause no worry. should some piece of the
mechanism be broken otherwise get out of
working order since the only tool required to
dissemble or assemble the gun is the point OF
bullet
The sustained rapidity of fire of which the gun
. is capable makes 1t far more dangerous and
effective weapon than any bombdropping device
as yet devised.
The accuracy Of the firing of the Lewis
plane gun its first test was not only surpris-
ing in ITSELF but has aroused attention the part
Of our army and navy experts to the fact that

prepared for attack from the air. In the opinion
Of many. including Colonel Lewis. who is also
the inventor Of the Lewis depression position
finder now employed in the coast artillery serv-
ice. it marks the beginning of development
that is destined to produce radical changes in
our land defense and coast ornaments both for
offense and defense.
According to Colonel Lewis. an aeroplane cost

Tuberculosis Day Oct. II.

Cordial approval and endorsement
of tuberculosis day which will be OBJ

indications, tuberculosis day will be
observed by almost every religious
denomination in the United States and

steel jacket have full access to the
atmosphere at the breech, thus
forming series OF inclosed air

DISTRICT LODGE
Knights Of Many Towns
Gather and Are Given
Royal Welcome

One of the really "big" doings for
the year among the Knights of Pyth.
las on Grays Harbor occurred Friday
night when District No. 9 which en-
braces the cities of Aberdeen, Ho.
quiam. Montesano, Elma, McCleary
Olympia and Shelton held its second
semi-annual convention in Elma.
The affair was largely attended and
a goodly number of Knights from
Aberdeen and Hoquiam attended. The
session began in the afternoon. A
large volume of work which had been
before the district committees for
some time was attended to and the
social end of the affair must by no
means be overlooked as the visitors
were accorded royal reception and
were most pleasantly entertained
during the entire session.
The plan to hold district conven.
ton at least twice year was adopt
ed at the last convention which was
held in Hoquiam last April. This
plan was believed to prove more sat.
isfactory in order that the lodges
comprising the jurisdiction might keep
in closer touch with one another and
with the work of the lodge through.
out the state.

When an Aberdeen citizen comes
to the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes-
timony is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is statement
of an Aberdeen resident. No strong
er proof of merit can be had.
Henry Grabow, South Aberdeen Ho-
tel, Aberdeen, Wash, says: II have
had several severe attacks of kid
ney complaint and each time Doan's
Kidney Pills have fixed me up. This
remedy gave me prompt relief from
pains in my back and loins and
strengthened my kidneys when ev-
cry other medicine tried failed to
do me bit of good. Continued use
Of Doan's Kidney Pills freed me from
all symptoms of kidney trouble and

friends were royalty entertained. In
stead of playing the accustomed Five
Hundred the players weer chosen to
represent the candidates for presi-

fend their choice by points made. At
the close of the game it was shown
that Debs had maintained lead of
80 points; Taft players were second !;
the Democrats third and the Bull

The game was greatly enjoyed and
