Shooting Through Aero PropeIIers.

Shooting Through Aero PropellerS-
The use of machine guns on aero
planes has been restricted because
1t was usually desirable to FIRE
straight ahead and this could not be
done on account of the propeller. But
both Garros, the famous French flyer,
and a German engineer have solved
the problem by connecting the trigger
of the gun with the engine SO that the
machine will fire only at the frac-

average IL per cent. of potash, have been
brought to the attention Of DR.. Norton.
A new vegetable product which appar-
emily can be used as a red coloring mat
ter arrived yesterday at the Bureau OF
Foreign and Domestic Commerce in this
city. 1t is now being tested by DR..
Norton in the hope that he may find it
available for textile fbres, as well as
wool, paper and straw.
DR.. Norton had lunch yesterday with
officers of the New York branch of one OF
the big dyestuT concerns of Germany
and discussed with them the solution of
the problem, so far as they were con-
cerned, of securing supplies from foreign
sources.
There Is apparently no doubt that the
German manufacturers of artificial colors
are in a position to ship Immediately to
their American representatives an ample
supply Of nearly all of the colors cur
rently needed by American textile and
allied industries as soon as existing en-
bargoes are raised," said Dr. Norton.
When asked what would be the effect
of the lifting of the British embargo on
dyestuffs and other coal tar products. a
report Of which had reached this coun-
try. DIR. Norton said that he did not
think it would bring benefit to any but
those engaged in the importation of me-
dicinal drugs and chemicals.
1t is an old story, he said, that Ger
many will not permit dyestuffs to come
to this country until England permits an
equal value of cotton to be shipped to
Germany.
