hculties Of jamming experienced in
both the 1904 Maxim and the Benet-
Mercier machine gun now used by the

rounds without Jamming. This has
been demonstrated by elaborate tests
made in Texas. The new gun has al

army, and is now being used in the
European war. In fact, several Inn

Powder Hard to Obtain.

Into the manufacture of shells and
cartridges there enter metals and ex-
plosiVes. The metals are easy to OBJ
tain and the means of working them
is not difficult. Companies engaged
in other lines Of manufacture can
make the metal parts of shells, but
only powder manufacturers can make
the necessary explosives. says Engi-
neering Magazine. 1t would seem prob
able that the production Of ammuni-
tion has been limited by the supply
Of powder rather than by the capacity

CONGRESSMAN PRIME AN
NOUNcES PRELIMINARY AN
NAPOLlS EXAMINATIONS.

Congressman James J. Prime Of Sea-
port announces that the preliminary
examination fer candidacy for Annap-
oils finals will be held at the High
School here on Thursday next at 9 a.
m. The eongressman's privilege ls
limited to but one appointment. May
the best man win.
IT'S your chance, Neal" said the
girl She placed a hand upon his
shoulder, and at her touch the blood
ran through his veins like wine.
You're the best man, Neal" she
whispered, always the best man.
Nou're bound to win"
Congressman James J. Prime was a
Seaport man-and the biggest man IN
that shore town. He had sprung from
bodybuilding, seafaring ancestors; he
knew seagoing folk; he liked them.
And he liked the sea. And the pleas
ATTEST thing he did, he was wont to
tell his friends, was to recommend
Clear-eyed, clean limbed young fellows

Annette and Neal were sitting in the
Hfeboat gazing seaward the congress
man was at the post office, surrounded
by circle of old cronies, holding forth
upon the navy. AS he talked he exam
ined his mail, opening 1t with clumsy
forehnger. He had mail aplenty -
small envelopes and big ones, long
and short. Three times he dropped
letter, once he dropped a check -
somebody picked them up for him.
Then, unknown to himself, and un.
seen of anyone about him, he acci-
dentally dropped something else upon
the hoor-a long, folded printed paper.
He didn't miss it; and when Congress
man James j. Prime moved off In the
direction Of hin home, human being
Elouched over 10 that corner, placed a
concealing foot upon the folded paper
struck a m-.Uch and lit a cigarette,
stopped suddenly and with nicotine
gtained fingers, picked up the docu-
ment.
The concealing foot and the nico-
tine-stained fingers belonged to a
young and sporty gentleman Of the
name Of Joey Welcher.
He thrust the document into his
pocket and then, he too, moved off to
some less public place, When he
reached a place less public, he exam
sned his find. He was disappointed at
first. He was prepared for anything
of interest But he was disgusted when
tie opened the document and read its
toadines:

1t didn't interest him, but he glanced
over it's contents; then thrust 1t into
