u. S. Guns Can OutSh0Ot
German Record Makers

The shots fired into the French
seaport town of Dunkirk from
a large weapon or weapons, in a
land fort on a German line in
Flanders, situated somewhere
near Nieuport, at twenty two
mile range, are declared by
American army experts to have
constituted the greatest long
range firing ever accomplished
in actual warfare. 1t is declared,
however, that certain types of
guns used by the United States
are far superior to those used in
the Dunkirk bom bardment.
The latest model IL inch United
States army coast defense guns
can greatly exceed this firing
range, it only being necessary to
mount them so as to fire at an
angle of 45 degrees.
When fired at this angle the IL
inch gun will deliver its pro-
iectile at an extreme range OF
thirty-one miles. The highes
point of the line of flight would
be 21, 900 yards.
However, the United States
has only a few guns of this type
in it's coast defense, and, as is
generally known, the coast de-
fense is short of men. There are
758 officers and 17,901 men in
the coast artillery, only half
enough to fully man the de-
fenses.

Speed and Endurance of
Noted MOhave Runner

In the early days of Ehren-
berg, Ariz., a man was fright
fully burned by kerosene. There
was no physician and no drug
store in the town. and so a
noted Mohave runner who lived
near by was hastily engaged to
run to Fort Yuma, a government
post directly across the Colorado
river from the present town of
Yuma.
The distance from Ehrenberg
to Fort Yuma, as the crow flies,
is sixty miles. By the shortest
trail that the Indian could take
it was at least seventy-fve miles
and he had to swim the river
once each way. The Indian was
to get $40 for the trip and SIC
additional if ne returned in
twenty-four hours. He pre-
pared quickly for the undertaking
and disappeared down the trail.
Within twenty-four hours he
was back in Ehrenberg, bring
ing with him the packages OF
medicine for which he had been
sent. Each package bore the
labels of the Yuma dispensary.
There was no living being along
the trail between the two places
from whom he could have OBJ
tanned any assistance whatever.
That Indian ran $50 miles in less
than twenty-four hours over q
barren, stony desert, interspersed
with deep, dry gulches and ra-
vines, in and out of which he
was forced to climb, and in ad-
dition he swan t h e Colorado
river twice.
When he got his 500 he bought
some of his favorite food, crawled
into the shelter of some mes
quite trees, ate and slept alter.

Substitute for ,Ow's Milk

A Pennsylvania man claims to
have discovered a substitute for
cows milk, and says that this is
the way he makes it: Use raw
peanuts, grind them in a food
chopper, then put them in a lar.
Pour water into it in the pro-
portion of about three quarts of
water to one quart of kernels.
After the contents of the Jar
have been we'll shaken. strain
through a cloth. Set the jar away
in a cool place for several hours
and the contents will have the
appearance of cows milk, with
cream about the same proper
ton as milk, collected on the
surface.

LIVING MAJOR GENERALS.

Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, whose
home is in Council Bluffs, Iowa, is
one of three surviving army corps
commanders, the other two being
Sickles and Gen. James H. Wilson.
General Dodge is the last surviving
general commander, however, having
been in command of the Army of
the Tennessee and of the Department
Of Missouri. He was major general
at the age of thirty-two years, reach
ing this rank in 1864. At that time,
he says, he had in his command a
brigadier general, in command of a
brigade, who was barely twenty-five
years of age.

1t seems funny that there is

gave the matter as much atten-

If some folks were not pretty
easily satisfied what a lot of dis
appointed people there would be.

DON'T GO TO ALASKA

The Alaska boom is on. De-
spite the warning issued by Sec
retary of the Interior Lane that
the much-talked-of government
railroad project would give little
opportunity for employment,
there has been a rush of laborers
to the territory, and along with
them have gone the usual fortune
seekers to meet the usual fate.
A recent report stated that the
mere announcement that the
village of Seward was to be the
terminus of the government rail-
road had started a big land boom
there; 'one man was made a
millionaire over night and a hun
dred more were touched by the
magic wand of the goddess of
fortune.
Don't go to Alaska" is the
Blades advice, unless you are
only going on pleasure trip.
The far north territory is we'll
worth seeing, but take no more
money than you actually need
for the trip. This is no time for
investment making or fortune
seeking there. The govern
ment's $35, 600, 900 railroad pro-
ject was launched to pay a polit-
ical promise and tits not safe to
speculate on what may be done.
Just now it is only beneftting a
few who have been tapped by
the magic wand" at the expense
of gullible victims of the boom.

SOUGHT BY THE "sPo0NERS"

"Have you ever noticed that
spooners prefer to ride on the rear
seats of open trolley cars, where it
is almost impossible to watch them 2"
remarked man who does consider
able riding in surface cars. "Well,
the next time you have occasion to
ride in an open trolley car you keep
your eye on the rear seat and see if
my words are not true.
'Many time when I would like
to get place on the three rear seats
was prevented from doing SO be-
cause they were all occupied by
spooners. They prevented me from
enjoying a good smoke. But Pm
not selfish. AS long as they obtain
the seats first they have a perfect
right to them, of course, and they
don't have to move until they want
to-"

"Some time when you ride on a

Now in the day time you will notice
that the seat is just ordinarily pop

other seats on the stage. But in the
evening, when the moon gives the
only light, you will have to go down
to Washington square to obtain that
seat. The spooners get to the square
early and struggle for the seat.

World Will Last Many Years

The most philosophic of Amer
lean geologists, Prof. Chamber
lain, after studying exhaustively
climatic conditions in the long
geologic past and after weighing
carefully the possibilities of dis
aster to our earth from collision
with some star, has shown that
we have good reason to measure
the future habitality of the earth
at millions or tens of millions, if
not, indeed, hundreds of millions
of years. Sharing Prof. Cham
berlain's inspiring belief in the
probability of racial longevity,
do we not gain real incentive
to scientific research into the
great utilization of the forces of
nature, an added argument for
an application of the truths of
science to civic progress, and a
larger faith that the golden age
is in the future-that the high
est development of our country
and of the world is to be wit
messed by those who are to fol-
low us? Are not our ideals
practical and is not such a vision
a call to larger service?-Ex.

DEVIL MUST NEEDS BE
 MONKEY MYTHS SHOP

University of Washington, March 24-Students in the department of journalism who find the mastery of "the case" anything but easy listen ed with some awe to Hugh G. Ball, Who was visitor at the University Daily office on the campus last week. Ball was describing font of type in his newspaper shop. The font covers the entire side of an unusually large room, and the compositors have to uaa ladders to. reach all boxes of the case.
 Of course, the answer is: Orien- tai. The newspaper is the Japan Herald, a morning daily in Yoko- hama, half of which is printed in English and half in Japanese. The Epg-ish portion is set lip on bat tery of Hnotypes, but native printers are employed to compose the Japan csc section, (which comprises tele- graphic news from other countries and local news. The local matter is supplied by native editorial force, which also translates the Eng fish cable news.
 The great number Of characters in Japanese necessita,es very large case for each font of type, of which there are several. A cer- tain character was used lasely for the first time in four years. The and variations of the language call for separate fonts, and provision must be made for the il- literate classes, who cannot read the language of the educated Japanese.

 Buxton probationary divorce law would modify the law passed two years ago forbidding the remarriage of divorced couples or either of them within year after the de cree and making such marriage an ract of adultery.

 IS FAMED TO UTMOST

O. course the newspapers are supposed to garble he news mere or less. but this account of the quadruplets recently born at Red ding, this state, beats anything we have seen for awhile. It was talk en from the Chico Enterprise. Here it is:
 The first born was the heaviest and weighed 1S1a pounds. the last weighing 1874 pounds. The mother is 50 years of age and weighs ,1O5 pounds. She has nine other chill dren living. The mother is doing well.-Colusa, (caliz..) Herali, March 13.
 The story printed above in it's en- tirety would stretch the credulfty of the average reader to almost the breaking point, but for the truth Of portion of it, Nthe Daily Alas kan is able to vouch through the kindness of Skagway lady, who has just received a letter from a friend who lives close to where the occurrence happened. The reported birth of quadruplets is true, but the weight of the first one was only 2i2 pounds and that of the fourth i 4 pounds, instead of 131s and 13A as above stated, and the mother is sVIslyz 6 years of age instead of CO., Her weight is 105 pounds.
 The letter goes on to say that the California legislature has ap- rropriated s10,O0O for the use of the mother and her tairns, and that arrangements are being made to take them to the Parama-Pacif- ic International exposition at San Francisco.
