LUKE McLUKE SAYS

Every woman who has a shape
like whale back freighter knows
that if she could afford to pay Sic
for made-to-order corset she
would have as good a figure as any
one.
The local department stores are
advertising the "Modesty" opaque
petticoats for summer wear. The
mutt who invented them will never
get my vote. But, anyway, the
"Modesty" opaque waist hasn't put
in an appearance. And that will
help some.

After you get to know some good

NEW TRENCH GUN
HURLS BIC SHELL
"MinenWurfer" of the Germans
Throws GrenadeS Foot in
Diameter and Containing
200 Pounds of E pIOSive.
BY Herbert Temple

LONDON, Dec. 4-Scarcely a week
goes by that the Germans or the allies
do not produce and try in battle some
new weapon of destruction. Many of
these prove failures and others have
not been described in print because
they are still kept segfet as to details.
The Germans have recently br ught
out a very nasty little gun, fling q
projectile monstrously disprOportiOn-
able to its size. 1t is doing much
havoc in the trench lighting Of the
Aisne.
The allies probably are opposing
this new gun with something similar,
but the censor is careful to exercise
all illusions to new devises of the
British or French.
The new German trench gun is
called the "minenwurfer" (mine
thrower) and is no more than a
hand" grenade thrown by gun. II
is, like the giant 42-centimetre siege
gun, a product Of Krupp ingenuity.
The hOwitzer part Of the "minenwurf-
err is only about three feet long and
weighs 100 pounds. The mounting
weighs 100 pounds and the bed or
platform $50 pounds. The total is a
little over half a ton. 1t is mounted
on wheels and two men easily move
it from place to place over short dis

IN the trenches the minenWurfer' is
removed from the travelling wheels.
Bore Only Three Inches.
The diameter Of the bore is only
three inches. but it throws a shell
over a foot in diameter, spherical in
shape and containing nearly 200
pounds of high explosive.
1t does this by a curious device.
There is a long stem which fits into
the muzzle OF the gun. A second
stem fits into the outer end OF the
first and on this second stem the big
sphere is fixed. When the gun is
fired both stems leave together, but the
back half (the part which fitted into
the muzzle) soon drops off, being OF
such a shape that the air pressure
pulls il from the front action. the
great shell then hurtles on its way.
The great grenade travels through
the air very slowly and the enemy can
easily see it coming and might in
favorable circumstances dodge ii by
running.
The initial velocity is only go fet

is 81 degrees and at this angle the

it is easy to see what a great effect
this trench howitzer shell must have.
The shell depends for its effect al
most entirely on the explosive itself,

age and no bullets are carried such
as are employed in shrapnel.
The 'minenwurfer' can be elevated
to so degrees and the range then is
l 80 yards. The shell then takes near
~ quarter of a minute to travel and
reaches a height of 500 feet. In other
words il covers the ground not much
faster than q crack sprinter.
Thus the horror of trench fighting
is increased beyond that already at
