Utilized Kick of Gun
To Load and Unload 1t

Browning's friends tell an interesting
story in connection with the discovery.
IN inventor. they say, entered his shop
one morning carrying a rifle and a block
of wood through which he had bored q.
hole the size of a AS bullet. Fastening
the block to the floor. he set up the rife
so that the muzzle just touched the hole
in the wood.
Utilizes the Kick.
He explained that If the idea he had
was correct, the gases, on the rifle be-
ing fired. would be stopped by the block
of wood and would hurl the weapon
backward. The rifle was fired and. as
expected, it was flung backward against
the wall of the shop. Browning's prin-
ciple was established.
Very quickly the inventor a this
kick harnessed in such a way that
breach mechanism and made to operate
all the movements of the gun. It did SO
with such speed. after the first pulling
of the trigger. that no fewer than 900
bullets could be fired in a minute.
When applied in the automatic pistol
1t was found that eight shells could be
discharged in the brief space OF one and
three-fifths seconds. The result was that
these Weapons were quickly adopted by
half q dozen governments for use in their
armies and navies.
Since their capture OF thec city OF Liege,
the Germans, 1t is understood, nave beer
patents by the thousands at the works OF
the Belgian Fabrique National. Whether
they have kept accurate count Of what
they w him in the way Of royalties.
Browning does not know, and will not
hazard an opinion.

Efficiency in Government.
From the Chicago Ne,

NAOtAt SIVO y INOWSs
1t is a hopeful sign that both the navy
department and the war department Of
the federal government have sought tho
advice OF men eminent in technical knowl-
edge and OF rare capacity in research
and invention now that the nation must
solve the problem of preparation for war.
But why is 1t that the Edisons are called
upon only in times Of crisis? The Ger
man. government continually utilizes the
services Of it's most eminent men in deal
Ing with problems of government. That
Is why Germany today affords the most
conspicuous example OF efficiency to be
found anywhere in the world.
Americans meet crises in a creditable
manner. Great undertakings like the
building OF the Panam canal are well
executed by them: But everyday admin
traordinary degree. Such matters are
left to political manipulation and private
favortism. So the self-seeking spoilsmen
commonly make a botch Of them.
All the activities of government-na-
tional, state and local-are important. If
Secretary Daniels. of the a depart
ment.. and Secretary Garrison. Of the
cure the assistance Of the leading men
Of the nation In solving special problems
relating to their departments. why is not
the plan a good n for general use?
The trouble IL that the spoils politicians
under ordinary. conditions do not want
the advice Of high class men. who would
interfere with the dispensing Of Jobs and
contracts according to v and not 40
II 10 . deiusion to think that satisfae-
tory results can be secured by making
government efficient In spots. 0onorol
efficiency should be the aim Of puhl3o

Ogden. U~tah.-That the inventor Of some
of the most deadly apo being used In
the war in Europe should be an American
Is but a natural expectation from the in
born inventiveness of the people of this
country, but that he should be a man of
peace. a member in good standing of the
Mormon church and practically unknown
to the world at large will come as a sur
prise to many.
This inventor is John M. Browning. Of
Ogden, Utah. Throughout his own state
he is hailed as 1.-The firearm wizard but
the great majority of newspaper readers
probably have never heard of him..
Browning is the first man who ever
harnessed the kick" of a gum. and his
invention revolutionized practically every
form of firearms. Many thousands of his
machine guns and more thaE 100000 Of
his automatic pistols are in use on the
battlef1elds of Europe today. They are to
be found wherever there is an armed
force throughout the civilized world.
Loves His Banjo.
Yet John M. Browning's chief delight
In life lies In playing simple tunes on
his banjo in his home. and when he
takes a vacation it is usually in the form
of a quiet fishing expedition with some
of his sons and friends. His name has
rarely been mentioned, though that of the
weapons he nvented is a household word.
Every part of the world-famous Colt
machine gun the deadly work of which
was first seen in the Philippines, was
invented by o M. Browning. From
his patents also are made every part Of
the still more widely known and almost
equally deadly Colt automatic pistol.
Browning first invented a repeating rifle.
and since then has taken out more than
100 patents on firearms.
His millionth vest pocket automatic pis-
toll was made nv tho FQhrfn1Yo NofiOna1a
at Liege. Belgium. To celebrate the oc-
casion q banquet was given in Liege in
honor OF the inventor, and King Albert
bestowed upon Browning the Belgian Cd
der of Leopold. A replica Of the millionth
pistol. built Of gol.. was presented by
accepted by William as a pretty memento
of a noteworthy achievement. This hap
pened last year just before the war broke
out.
Born Gun Inventor.
Little known az he is, Browning has
| been q gun inventor all his life. a born
one. His father was Jonathon Brown
Ing; a native OF Tennessee, who moved
to Iowa in-the early '30s and onducted a
gun store and tinker's shop near Kanes-
| vile, on Mosquito creek. In 1852 Jona-
than Browning crossed the great plains
with an OK team, a three months Jour-
1 ney. and settled in ogden.
In his fathers shop in Ogden, John NJ.
Browning made his first gun at the age
of 10 from iron taken from his fathers
scrap heap. In 1870. when 25. Browning
obtained his first patent. It was for a
breech loading repeating rifle. In 1884 he
perfected his famous repeating rife.
and in 1895 the box magazine which was
used by the United States army in the
war with Spain.
His name wa unheralded in connection
with all these inventions. because In
every case Browning sold his patents.
It was the name Of the marker. not that
Of the inventor. which became famous.
