HEAVY HOWITZERS USED
NOW by THE BRITISH.

London, England.-Tbe British
army in France is now using heavy
howitzers. which. according 10 a re-
port from the official "eye-witness'
with the expeditionary force, have
gained ascendancy over the heavy
German guns. These howitzers. he
states. were used in successful at
lacks on the German positions in the
brick fields south of La Bassee Canal
two weeks ago.
"Our heavy howitzers took part in
this bombardnient, their fire being
directed on the railway triangle"
the "eye-wituess'' says. "The boom
of these pieces and the detonations
of heir shells were audible twenty
miles away above the roar of the
other artillery. while to those close
at hand the s%hrieking of the great
projectiles through the air was NEST

Guard which concluded here yester-
day afternoon was exceptionally
good, there being 46 officers present
out of the Ga members of the line
and staff.
These officers attended this MO
winter meeting without pay.
The general theme of the meetings
was the need of a larger appropria-
ton from the state for the mainten-
ance OF the guard and an a%ppropria-
ton of some ort which would enable
the erection OF armories in the state.
This need of armories is the most
important factor now facing the Ma
tional Guard in this state if the or
ganized militia is to be maintained.
The government lays down certain
requirements on the guard, which
requirements must be complied with
ii tho state is to draw from the gov
eminent the appropriation provided
by act OF congress-.
The government requires that the
companies in the state organizations
ehall hold at least "a drills each
year, shall attend a maneuver or in
struction camp at least five days each
year, and shall have safe and ade-
quate places in which to store the
government property loaned to the
state for the use of the various mill
tary organizations.
There is not a company in South
Dakota which has an armory' that
will bear inspection by federal Off
GERS in this respect. There is not an
armory in the state that has a safe
its government property. The state
and adequate place in which to store
storehouses at Watertown and Red
field where government property is
stored are frame structures, in some
cases vertable fire traps.

Machines.

caused by wrong lighting, vibration,
improper adjustment of chairs or
stools to benches or desks, standing
instead of sitting.
Naturally the first object of atten-
tiDn for the anti-fatigue crusaders was
the chafr-or the lack of it. Conse-
quently several fatigue.saving chairs
have been designed and are now being
;.sed in many factories at Providence,
where the rule has become: "A chair
fer every worker, whether he needs it
OR not" Some of the chairs already
in use are shown in the pictures
printed here with, which are taken
from photographs furnished by Mr..
Gilhreth.
That showing the man filing a piece
of steel was specially designed for
such work as that, which has always
been done standing. The chair, which
can be made by any carpenter, has a
solid projecting foot rest which en-
ables the worker to push a file as
vigorously sitting as standing. The
chair is Of such height that the work
er can stand or sit with equal ease.
The chair in which the woman is
sitting at a sewing machine. is the re-
suit of experiments in eliminating vi
bration. In large, factories where
much machinery is running, the vihra-
ton causes great fatigue. This chair
is set upon strong springs that take up
all the vibration.
The other chairs are ordinary chairs
raised to exactly the right height for
the particular work and the individual
worker by placing their legs in sock
cts in wood blocks, which, Of course,
can be removed and adjusted to any
height. Mr.. Gilbreth is anxious to
hear from anyone who has devised CT
who can devise any object that will
eliminate any form of fatigue in any
Office Or factory work.

HENS AS AERoPLANE SPIES


The London Daily Chronicle repub-
fishes from the Cologne Gazette an
odd article on the use OF animals TO
signify the approach of enemy aero
planes The writer, who is evidently
quite serious, has noticed that the,
sight of certain animals is much keen
er than that OF human beings. and In
a hasty view of the entire animal
kingdom he comes to the conclusion
that birds have the most alert vision
and that hens and pigeons are the
birds most get-at-able. most easily
trained and most reliable.
Hens will protect their chickens
against soaring birds of prey which
the sharpest human sight cannot
discover, and pigeons will fly in any
weather and are extraordinary doc
lie The training of a hen or a
pigeon TO announce the approach OF
an aeroplane is much easier than one
would think They are TO be placed
captured in the vicinity of descend
ing air machine. and as soon as the
airman lands he Is to rush at the I'M
tON 10 duu bCtdOOA ehthh Win
rod This practice is to be repeat
ed until the hen or pigeon believes its
life TO be endangered by anything on
a large scale descending from the
skies. All day long these terrified
birds will strain their vision sky
ward, and the remotest speck in the
vault of heaven will fiutter the dove
cotes and hencoops as nothing else
would.
Another bird which adapts itself
to this military service is the COM
mon crow. He has the most extraordi-
nary eyes. which enable him to see
in front of him and behind An OBJ
ject for which q man requires a
telescope is easily discovered by the
crow without any telescope. Crows
are very wise creatures, says the
Cologne writer, and once you catch
your crow. train him and whack
him sufficiently, you will be sur
prised at the results when the enc

In Providence, r. L., museum OF

vices, but. strange to say. only half
a dozen have been sent. But several
