Government Should Make Its
DUN Ammunition He Declares

Washington, D.. C.,-That the ov-
can ave millions by manufac-
turing its own ammunition is the be-
lief OF Representative Clyde H. Taven-
ner. of Illinois, who has just introduced
IN the lower house a series of six bills
calling for an appropriation of more
than $1,000. 900 for g. government cart
ridge and field ammunition plant at
the Rock Island arsenal, Rock Island,
Ill.
81 believe 1 can establish The fact to
the satisfaction of any business man
in the country hat such a plant as
my bills provide for will save to the
government its entire cost the first is
months OF It's operation" said MIR.
Tavenner.
II base this statement on the fact
that the government is now being over
charged on all army ordinance supplies.
The actual extent to which the govern
ment is being overcharged by private
manufacturers is so great that it will
seem almost unbelievable to the aver
citizen.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels an
nounces that as a result of his sugges-
ton that the government establish it's
w armor plate factory the private
manufacturers lave reduced their
prices o n one order to the extent of 36
per cent, resulting Il a saving to the
government Of s37S. 261. This saving is
not a drop in the bucket compared to
the sum which can be saved If the gov
eminent will manufacture all of it's
own small arms cartridges. field gun
ammunition and field artillery vehicles.
1 believe / can demonstrate that the
government save $4,000 900 by the
investment of $1,000, 900 at the Rock
Island arsenal.
For instances: The government is
paying $25 for ~ inch shrapnel, the
character of ammunition used in heavy
field guns. when 1t is at the same time
manufacturing at the frankfort arsen-
al. Philadelphia, as q part OF it's sup
ply, the identical projectile for 1882.

Weather Bureau Makes
Water Shortage Profitable

In the future water shortage" will
lose its terrible meaning to the farmers
tilIing the irrigated area of the west.
In fact. they will be able to turn water
shortage into actual profit. strange as
tina may seem. owing to the mountain
snow survey scheme OF the United
States weather bureau, by means of
which 1t is now possible to determine
early in March the probable summer
flow of irrigation.
this subject. j. Cecil Alter, observer
United States wheather bureau, Salt
Lake City. Utah, explains the import
ance of the work accomplished:
When the weather bureau snow sur
veyors completed the March, 1913, snow
measurements. having made about $50
depth and density measurements in
about $500 acres of evenly laid snow on
the upper reaches of Maple Creek, in
the Wasatch mountains, near Spring.
VILE, Utah, the confident assurance
was issued in a printed report. and
there is about 16 per cent. more irri-
cation water stored in these hills than
at the same time last year." 1t was
also found that the compactness, or
density, Of h snow was practically the
same as 1t was las. year. and that the
frost. as was the condition last year;
so that if weather conditions from the
completion Of the survey to the close OF
the irrigation season average about the
same as III 1912 Maple Creek should
supply about one-eighth more water
this season than it did last year" And
from a cursory examination Of adjacent
watersheds, the surveyors said 1t was
quite probable h conditions In the
Maple watershed were an index to con-
ditions in nearby mountains.
The water prospects from this stream
will remain one-eighth better than last
year only as long as weather conditions
subsequent to the measurement Of
snow remain. similar. However, the eff
feet of cooler. warmer, wetter, or drier
weather will be more or less directly re-

Presidential Primaries.
From The Outlook.

President Wilson'S proposal for presi-
Dental primaries has furnished another
revelation OF the fact that the country is
dividing on other lines than those which
formerly separated the parties. Repub-
licans and democrats oppose it: republic
ans. democrats, and progreSsives approve
it. The temperamental conservatives

representatives Of their own choice. and
to choose those representatives with in

maries as really dangerous. The com

maintain special privilege for their own
benefit, of course. are opposed to 1T.

that they should make their own mistakes
than that they should be required to ai.-

water freely between the alfalfa and
the potatoes, or to give sparingly to the
crop in greatest need.
In fact, there are q great many uses
the farmer can make OF this informa-
ton. For instance, ne may nave insult
ficiant water to mature his third crop
of alfalfa, and rather than let the third
crop so to pasture. which he may not
need, or pillow it up for fall wheat,
which he nay not wish to do for many
good reasons. he can probably turn the
water shortage into an actual profit by
letting the second hay crop go to seed.
He could not snatch such a success
from imminent failure except by
chance without an accurate. definitely
stated knowledge Of the mount Of
water available. Variations OF the case

that they may expect 16 per cent moro
water h they had last year, they
could lay their entire summer plans
with that important fact in view. They
might not only secure outside range

three crops. and also increase the

AS GREEK UNDERSTANDS n
Students Rendering Of shakespearsan
Phrase Somewhat Literal, But
He Had the Idea.

A young Greek merchant OF Wash
fngton. who has been taking lessons In
English from q private tutor. has 30
far advanced that his teacher recently
introduced him to the beauies-aAd
perplexities-of Shakespeare. He was
instructed to read a passage several
times until he had the ideas firmly
fixed in his mind and then, closing the
book, to put these ideas into his own
English. following as closely us his
memory permitted the authors text.
He had read over q soliloquy Of
Othellc's several times and was re-
producing the Moor's somber thoughts
with pretty fair approximation to the
poets words, but when he reached the
last line: Farewell, Othello's occupa-
tons gone!" he stopped short, utterly
at a loss. The original phrasing had
quite escaped him. However, he had
grasped the idea, for after a few sec
onds of frewning perplexity his brow
cleared.
"Ah, l hat eet!" he exclaimed. 'Eet

The Impre..ivs Aurora.

Strand ION the contrary, auroras, I

1T was n night about the middle
of September that 1 beheld a truly
magnificent display of the aurora
borealis. Across the inky ~blackness OF
the northern sky a great arc of pure
white light was suddenly stretched.
which lit up the snow covered noun
talns around our camp just as if we
had suddenly attracted the very active
attention of a gigantic ~searchlight.
From the main body of this glorious
sheet of flame great darts and stream
ers constantly shot shivering and SHIN
mering through the sky. POW opening
out into broad white lanes of light, and
again narrowing until swallowed up
once more by the envious darkness Of
the surrounding sky.
Never Cor a single instant were these
wonderful Polar lights still; they con-
stantiy spread and contracted in ever
varying waves and tongues of light.
until they finally died out, ard the
stars once more shone brightly in the
clear sky. The effect was, indeed,
amazing and awing in the extreme.
