First Step Taken
to Register Labor

London, June 29.-W Walter Hume Long,
President Of the Local Government
Board, introduced in the House of Com
mons to-day bill for the compilation
of national register, the object Of
which, he remarked, was not to coerce
labor, but to secure complete informa-
tion regarding the resources o. the
country and to enable them to be salts
factorily organized.
The measure seeks to classify all per-
sons below the age OF siXty-five and to
ascertain the present occupation and
direction wherein service can be rem
dered by each.
Mr. Long said in justification for ma
tional leg Station that it was the para
mount duty Of all to bring TO the help
of the state the organized service Of
every class and community. The meas
ure was designed to provide the ma
chinery which coulf procure the maxi
mum output at a minimum cost. There
would be a compulsory registration of
the people of the country, both male
and female, between the ages Of fifteen
and siXty-fve years, and every one
would be asked to tell his age and pres
ent employment and 70 volunteer any
special form of employment other than
that in which he actually was engaged.

Verdun Foiled-French Ad-
vance North of Arras.

London, June 29.-French counter
attacks are neutralzins the German
offensive on both sides of Verdun, APP

SHORT LIFE OF BIG GUNS
Every Time Rifle Is Fired Some Of
It's Bore Is Worn Away

The life of the gun, so far as its alb
solute destruction by bursting is con-
cerned, is practically unlimited, but
not so its accuracy life. Every time a
gun is fired some of the interior sur
face of its bore and delicate rifiing are
wiped away, and certain degree of
its accuracy is lost.
This is true of the soldier rife,
with its bore so small that it would
not much more than admit lead pen
Gil, no less than of the great sixteen
inch siege gun and the other grades of
artillery pieces.
Fortunately for the infantryman, the
wear on the bore of the shoulder rifle
is much slower as the wearing out Of
the bore decreases rapidly with de
crease in the size of the bore. Fro
sion, as it is called by the artillerymen,
is greatest in the large guns and least
in the 80 rifle.
The big guns which form the main
batteries of our warships and are en-
placed in our coast fortifcations can
fire from $50 to ESQ rounds dependent
upon the pressure and heat in the pow
der chamber) before they begin to lose
their accuracy.-Scientif American.
