try to pull off any program that
didn't jibe with his, and black
clouds rolled up sudden in the
West.
Il do hope goes on Fer1ie,
3that nothing Of that sort occurs

So did I, for more reasons than
one. What l wanted was peace,
and plenty of it, with Wee more
or less disengaged.
NOTHIN' could have been
more promisin' either than
the openin' of that first dinner

Country Club, with his rugged,
hand-hewed face tinted up

l expect, but he was glad to see
all of us. He patted Marjorie on
the cheek, pinched Wee by the
ear, and slapped Ferdie on the
back SO hearty he near knocked
the breath out of him. So far as
our genial host could make it,
it was a gay and festive scene.
Best of all too, I'd been put
next to Wee, and l was just
workin' up to exchangin' a hand
squeeze under the tablecloth
when, right in the middle of
one of Pa Pulsifer's best stories,
there floats in through the open
windows a crash that makes
everybody sit up. 1t sounds
like breakin' glass.

out into the dark. 3Now what

FINDING NEW COMET
is NOT UNUSUAL NOW
Local Astronomers See Little in New
Mexico Discovery.

Philadelphia astronomers are inclined to
attach little importance to the new comet
said to have been discovered by Professor
Clarence T. Haggerty. of the New Mex
leo College Of Agriculture and Mechan-
ical Art. They say there is nothing un-
usual in a comet being seen at this or
any other time of the year, as three or
four ot them are always seen annually.
Professor Haggerty according to dis
patch from Cambridge, Mass, telegraphed
to the Harvard College Observatory his
discovery of the new body. which, he
said, was visible to the naked eye. He
gave it's position as right ascension. moth
Ing hours minutes declination minus
10 degrees at 1880 p. M. September 25'
Dr. Charles Leander Doolittle. Flower
emeritus professor of astronomy at the
University of Pennsylvania, said today
there was apparently nothing unusual In
Doctor Haggerty's comet. He had not
observed it. he said, and had not been
on the lookout for any unusual astro-
nomc spectacle. 1t was interesting to
note, he stated, that the comet was dis
cernible TO the naked eye and the new
discovery might possibly turn out to be
quite an interesting phenomenon, but at
the same time comets such as described
were not utter strangers in the heavens
at this time of year Doctor Doollttle
intimated he might take observations OF
the HaEgerty comet.
Professor N B. Snyder, teacher OF as
tronomy at the Central High School said
he attached little importance TO the Hag-
gerty discovery New comets are found
each year" he said, "and unless there
is something unusual about this partic-
ular stranger It is not at all remarkable"
at is interesting, he continued, "to
hear that the comet Is visible to the
naked eye, but even this Is not unusual"
Doctor Snyder said he had not been on
the lookout for comets recently, hut
would probably watch for the new dis
cOyery tonight
He further stated the Haggerty comet
might be seen with the naked eye in this
section OF the country. even though it
was first seen from New Mexico. BE

he stated, lis no reason why II could
not be seen in Philadelphia, although it's

PENRosE HITS ADMINISTRATION
Says 1t Has Replaced Union Vet
Grams With Confederates.

In making an attack on the Wilson
Administration. Senator Penrose yester-
day declared that there had been a
great deal of discrimination against vet
Grams OF the Union Army. not only in
Pennsylvania, but throughout the coun-
try.
Senator Penrose made his charges soon
after his return from the western sec
ton OF the State, where he held several
important conferences with Organization
leaders. Senator Penrose declared that
Confederate veterans had obtained all
the important positions. especially in
the District of Columbia.
Discussing his charges concerning the
Blue and the Gray, Senator Penrose said
For instance. In my recent trip
through Western Pennsylvania / was re-
peatedly reminded that not single
Union veteran had been appointed to a
Federal ofice In this State under the
Wilson Administration. On the other
hand scores Of Union soldiers have been

POOF!
U. S. WILL HAVE BIGGEST GUN
Enormous Weapon Will Guard Pa
cific Entrance to Panama Canal.

There can be little consolation for the
thousands of volunteer peace makers in
this country who are trying to settle the
war in Europe in the announcement that
the biggest gun in the world is being
built in the United States arsenal in
Watervliet, n. Y. and is to be placed at
the Pacific end of the Panama canal.
The gun Is a l6-inch weapon, 49 feet 3
inches in length, and weighs about 12O
tons. 1t has a range of from 16 to 81
miles varying with different elevations
and it will hurl a projectile of 23O0 pounds.
Each discharge will cost the Government
$500.
The enormous weapon will lie in am
bush at the canal, being lifted to position
by big running carriage which will be
dropped from view Immediately the
weapon has been discharged.
Military experts of all countries have
followed the guns construction, to such
extent as this Government would permit,
with the keenest interest. The guns in
stallation will be an event in the history
of defensive measures, But let us hope
there is only remote likelihood 1t ever
will be used other than as threat
against peace dlsturbers. On the conti-
nent all is war. every gun belches forth
death. Here all is peace and our biggest
gun, the largest in the world. is being
fashioned for the preservation of peace
but If it is needed for another purpose
it will be mighty effective.
