Los Angeles-An automatic anti
Growing device is under consideration
by the city trustees of South Pasa-
dena and may be prescribed by law

The South Pasadena trustees pro-
pose to compel people who have
chickens to build their roosts SO near
the top of the coop that roosters
won't have any room for raising their
head and voices.

buckshot, between which and the projectle is the firing charge of smokeless
gunpowder.
When the shell is discharged at the muzle the buckshot is simultane-
ously thrown out at the butt end of the tube, which lis of the same diameter

The buckshot, needless to say is not meant to do the adversary any
damage It's discharge merely serves to take up the recon of the weapon.
This, up to the present time, has been the principal difficulty encountered in
efforts to solve the problem of the aeropane gun. To fire large explosive
projecties from a flying machine has seemed impracticable because the
recon of the gun would upset the delicate balance of the warplane, i'm
perfng it's safety and that of its navigator.
1t is for this reason that nowadays 20 more formidable weapons than
light machine guns, weighing about 20 pounds and firing ordinary rife bull
lets, are installed on the armored aeros.
