mark the width or the target. The pupils
are supposed to have a battery Of four
guns ready to train on the target. The
idea is 70 start with one gun OF one
platoon and find the target. Sometimes
1t is the left gun and sometimes the
right, depending on which way the wind
is blowing the smoke Of the shrapnel
explosion.
A point is fixed first and orders given
to q signalman, who telephones them
out to the range. where sixteen men
with smoke bombs are ready to place
them as indicated.
Battery attention. says Colonel
Wingate Right platoon from the right,
aiming point dead tree on horizon on
the right detection, 1900; increase by
five; range, 2,4OO; commence firing"
At first this sounds as IL the colonel
were aiming at the dead tree. There is
where the mathematics comes in. The
dead tree is only a fixed point. Having
gained it, the gunner, while the target
is invisible to him, has something on
which to work.
He Swings his gun to the ordered de-
fection: the other guns increase by five
and take the range he ordered. The
increase for the other guns was to pre-
vent them from crossing their fire. The
proper thing to do is to get them spread
like the fingers on your extended right
hang and close them in on the object by
mathematics and trial shots from one
gun.
Presently out on the range two puffs OF
smoke appear! Looking through field
glasses, one seems TO be beyond the target
and TO the right; the second is in beyond
and wide, to the left Colonel Wingate
gives his observation and corrects his first
order Of fire.

shutters. built at a distance of a foot
from the Slips sides. and the cooling
processes 10 which the air which is

Smoke Bomb Work.

Several times he orders changes in de-
Election. detection difference and range,
until the smoke bombs are appearing right
at the targets. In actual firing this would
mean that two shots from his right and
left guns Of the right platoon were sending
shrapnel that exploded right before the
target and sent hail Of .50-caliore bullets
In conical shape for two hundred yards
after they burst His other guns would
then--haying made changes as ordered

NAUTICAL data that should follow the first

Home Burned.
The King Home on East Sheri'
dan Street Burned.

Last Friday afternoon the
beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs
w. S. King on East Sheridan
street was burned. The fire was
discovered by Mrs. B. W. Patton
who lives just across the street
She notified Mrs. King, and an
alarm was turned in. The de-
partment responded, but it was
impossible to save the house fol
the reason that the chemicals dc
not have capacity enough for a
big fire.
Willing workers saved all of
the furniture, however, from the
first and second floors, but every
thing in the attic was destroyed.
All their surplus bedding and
winter clothing, and some other
stuff was in the attic.
The fire started in the attic,
and for that reason it was possi-
bic to get the furniture out.
The King house was one of the
best built residences in the town,
and had there been any sort OF
fire protection it could have been
saved. Insurance carried will
about cover the loss.

day morning. The child was on
the east side of the track wher
struck, and the engineer did moi
see him for the reason that he
was on the west side of the en-

see him for the reason that al

CURED and for some little dis
tance north, he was engaged in
coaling up.
As near as can be determined,
little Paul was near the track
and the suction of the train,
which was running at a speed Of
fifty miles an hour, drew him
toward the train. He was struck
either by some part of the engine
or some of the car steps.
His body was not mangled. A
fracture of the left arm, and a
bruise on the head did the work.
The coroner's jury found that
it was an accident and that nc
one was to blame. The jury was

Il CASES Of PELLAGRA,
EACH PROVING FATAL
Health. Department Reports Unusual
Prevalence Of the Dis
ease in District

Twelve cases OF peliagra. all of which
proved fatal, have been discovered in
Washington since the beginning of the
year, according to a report issued by the
District health department today The
disease is declared to be more prevalent
here than 1t has ever been.
OF the twelve cases reported. nine were
of local origin. Five patients were white
and seven colored. while the distribution
by sex shows the usual and unexplaina-
BILE prevalence of the disease among
women. nine patients being females and
three males.
First Case Reported in 1912.
The first cases of pellagra recognized
in Washington was reported to the health
department in May. 1912.
Officials of the department are inclined
to attach significance to the fact that
seven of the twelve victims were colored
persons. This excess Is difficult to ex-
plain, since the District colored popula-
ton is only about half as large as that
of the white population. The ages of the
patients varied from twenty-three to six
ty-seven years.
In discussing the malady the health
departments report states:
Pellagra is usually a chronic disease,
