ARMY SHORT OF AMMuNrr1oN
Gen Wood on the Necessity of Great
 ing Reserve Supply.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Major-Gen- Wood. chief of staff of the army, has advised the House Military Affairs Committee that while there is danger of the field artillery or other large types of guns used by the army be- coming outclassed by newer guns, there is no danger of their becoming obsolete, because i've are approaching the limit of strength of materials, botE in the velocity of our guns and in their range, so far as one can see.'' He said the army was trying to keep a sound type of gun which will lend itself to minor notifications and not become obsolete
 Gen Wood said the amounts of ann munition estimated as necessary fo1 the regular army are lower than those of any other frst-class nation, and that both he and the Secretary of War were impressed with the necessity of accommodating a sufficient reserve.
 sfWe have a. little over half of the guns we are trying to get said Gen Wood "and we have only very small percentage of the ammunition, about 14 per cent of the ammunition that we need for the guns which are ulti- 1nately to be manufactur ed-tTat is, the 1,292 guns, or about 20 per cent. of the ammunition necessary for the guns now manufactured or under con- traetsS z-

RUBBER FOR TIRES
Scrubbed, Steamed, and Bombed, the
 Material Is Pure When Used.

Scrubbed in great vats, steamed, and combed, until not an impure par- tic1e remains the gum intended for
 Firestone tires is put through the first steps of it's transformation. The washing room with it's tubs, boilers,
 and big wringers, in appearance, re- sembles a great laundry. The reek of the rubber being c1eansed, however, is like anything but the soap and water odor which usually c1ings to 1aundries. When clean, the rubber is rolled into ragged sheets and mottled and 1umpy, is sent to the drying room.
 There an absolutely even tempera- ture is maintained day and night, special YYatchInen being hired for that purpose. Practically every bit of
 moisture is removed from the air in
 the drying room before it Is blown over the gum, and in the larger fac tories such as that of this company a fortune in rubber always is lying under the whirring fans.
 After being dried the gum is mix ed with chemicals to give it the con-. sistency and wear resisting qualities
 necessary before it can be used. In the compromising room the first stand is taken by the manufacturers either for cheapness or quality. good
 and necessarily expensive compound is used if the latter is the end in view, and poor compound if the former is desired. Steel rollers grind the chemicals into the gum until the lat ter is thoroughly impregnated. Then
 passed between the big steam heated rollers of the calender machines, the
 gum is rolled into sheets of varying ftaicknesses, depending on the pur-
 poses for which they are intended. Meanwhile the fabric, the founda-
 ton of the tires, has been prepared.
 The best Sea Island cotton, of which every inch has been inspected for l flaws, and which can withstand a pulling test of three hundred pounds is used. Before the actual work of
 building up tire is begun, the fab
 ric must be "frictioned' or rubberized Every mesh must be completely and evenly filled or fabric-separation is likely to occur when the finished tire begins it's work. Together with a 1 sheet of rubber, the fabric is sent through calender machines, the rub- l Der being crushed into the cloth and practically becoming part of it.

The court in part said:' e'The only complaint seems to be that the cattle were not transported fast. enough to avoid a. second stop for feeding and watering, which second feeding and watering prevented the cattle from carrying to their destina- ton a thirst that would cause them to inflate themselves with water so as to increase their weight and consequent valaue. Whatever may have been the, custom as to filling the cattle with water just before a sale, it is a fraud upon the rights of the buyers that cannot be tolerated as a basis for damages in court of justice. The railroad company cannot be condemn ed to pay damages because it acted in such a. way, whether designedly or not, as to prevent a. fraud upon the rights of others, and a failure to car ry out a contract to perpetrate such fraud wiM not be allowed to make a basis for damages

A DIET TO REFORM CRIMINALS
MaI-Nutrition Held to Blame For
 IawIess Tendencies.

Oakland, Cal. Jan- s-A scientific schedule of diet for prisoners in the city jail is being arranged by Dr. A F. GiI1ssa&n, health director of. Oak land. in conjunction with Prof. Myer E. Jaffa, professor of nutrition at the University of California Dr. Gillihan holds that maI-nutrition is resp ponsi- b1e for criminality in many cases. and that proper feeding of delinque uents may lessen their criminal tendencies.
 Experiments with the prison diet will be made to prove the theory held by Dr. Gi1Iihan that men and women with criminal incIinations, while in prison. may be subjected to such a diet as will relieve them of their ten dencies and send them forth into the world better able to withstand temp tation.

 Release of Subscription by Death of Subscriber.-In the course of the ad- ministration of the estate of MT John H. Converse of Philadelphia, a. claim was presented based upon a subscrip- tion by deceased to the endowment fund of a. college, to be paid when the entire amount of the endowment should be covered by valid pledges or payments. It was contended on the part of persons interested in the es- tate that MT. Converse's death revok- ed the subscription, and that no 1ia- bility arose against his estate. The question is passed upon by the Su- preme Court of Pennsylvania, in Re Converse's Estate. 87 Atlantic Re- porter, 849, and the opinion of the judge of the Orphans Court from which the appeal is taken, holding the subscription a valid claim against the estate, is adopted. In view of the fact that the balance of the fund had not yet been entirely raised at the time of MT. Converse's death, the court, in the first instance, directed the accountants to retain $1O,00O pending the acquisition of the bal ance of the fund within a reasonable time, or until further order by the auditing judge. in event that the pro ject should fail.

with the football as it is banged
about from M to another. Enlarge
your sympathy to include the aver

If both sides would stop a mo-

see the fallacy of their position. In

agitation, of course, that changes

In the second place, when men

granted that the city belongs to the
Ministerial Association, forgetful of
the fact that nearly all the membrs
of said association have been here
only a little over a year. There arr
two things hat the public should
know: One is that the Ministerial
Association is not organized as a
detective bureau. Nor is ii a politi-
cal organization. Some are good
enough to give it credit for all the
detective work that has been done
in this city. Others seem to think
that it must be responsible for the
city going wet or dry.
The city of Madison will be here
