Shrapnel In Warfare,

shrapnel is most effective against
prone shrmishers at ranges from
1000 to 5000 meters, when burst
twenty-eight to twenty-five meters
short of the target, and against stand
Ing sklrmishers at the same ranges
when burst fifty-six to forty-five me-
tiers short Of the target. Black also
points out that single shrapnel from
light field howitzer produces a
greater number of hits when the point
of burst is favorably situated than one
fired from a field gun.
Shrapnel is also playing a most i'm
portant part in aerial warfare, and Of
these antiaircraft shrapnel all Of
which embody the same general es-
sentials, there is perhaps none more
effective than that known as "Ehrhardt
antiaircraft shrapnel"

A young barrister who held differ

to hear the Judge make a certain state

apologi2ed for his junior on the
ground Of his youth.

the finest warmth in the world
mother love.
1t was time the mother.in-
law joke had a jolt. Jokesmiths
continue to revarnp it from
time to time. Distracted by
the need of something..to make
merry about and to keep the
wolf from the door, unable to
think of real humor, the joke
smith ever so often drags out
that poor old mother-in-law
joke, dusts it off, puts a new
hat on it. gives it a fresh pair
of shoes, and sends it toddling
awkwardly out into the world
again. And, oddly enough,
comic paper editors seem to
pay real money for it.
It's time it was given eternal
rest. The mother-in-law is no
joke. There have been bad
mothers, and no doubt there
are bad mothers-in-law. There
are not enough of them to war
rant the impression that has
been created by the mother-in-
law Joke.
