SHOTS MAKE DOUBLE REPORT
Curious Phenomenon Arouses 0rone
Curiosity Among the Soldiers VI
European War.

Berlin. --One Of the curious phsnom-
ena connected With the sounds of
flying bullets Is the apparently doubts
report from the shot Or q singh Gun
This Il observed with es, ssial frs-
quency BY the Austrians iting N
the Alps against the Italians. They
were disposed TO believe the second
report was the echo Of the first. but
the curious fact remained that the
second report was louder than the
first. Moreover. the German soldiers
fighting IN Belgium, where the land
lies as level as table. often heard
two reports. III ii
The explanation now put forward
Is that the flying bullet compacts the
air in front Of It, and that this pro.
duces sound waves which, when they
first strike the ear. give the effect Of
an explosion.
As the small-caliber bullet Of the
modern rife flies considerably faster
than sound travels, the main report|
arrives later, and Is naturally louder
than the first

bandry department Of The College
Of Agriculture Of the University
Of Missouri at Columbia and you
gave each border an amount
equal 70 the per capita consump-
ton Of milk and butter In the
United States, you would not
need to do anything but sell 9,8-
43 pounds Of milk every year.
That ID the amount she produced
each Of the last three years above
the per capita allowance for
forty-sevsn persons. The per
capita consumption is figured, on
the calculation OF the U. s. De-
partment ofAgriculture, as 17.6
pounds Of butter year and one
third Of y quart Of milk q day.
In three years Carlotta has
produced 63,957 pounds Of milk
and 2,480 pounds OF butter. The
average Missouri COW would have
furnished in that time 10000
pounds Of milk and 420 Of butter,
about sixth as much as Car
lotta. AT the average price in
Columbia Of 7 1-2 cents q quart
for the milk, Carlotta's product
in the three years would bs worth
S2.319.90. AT 80 cents a pound
for the butter and 25 cents q
hundred pounds for theskim milk
it would be worth S8S2.05. The
latter return would involve little
cost Of handling.
Carlotta Pontiac's three.year
record perhaps has not been
equaled by an other COW in Mis-
souri,. She IL still producing
milk, having given birth to a
heifer calf thres weeks ago. How
ever, she is not on test now. The
production Of Carlotta Pontiac is
made possible by her breeding.
A record made by her three
years ago was broken a year lat
er by her ungrateful sister.
Like other COWS in the dairy
herd at the University, Carlotta
eats grain, corn silage, and ali-
alta hay. OF the silage and hay
she has all she will eat. With
the grain she gets cottonseed
meal and bran.
Carlotts's home is a box stall OF
iron bars with straw for a bed.
The only favor that she has
which 10 not shared by other
COWS in the herd is that the door
is fastened with an extra button
on the outside. For a time she
enjoyed the privilege Of lifting
the latch Of her door and walking
out without the permission of her
keeper. When The keeper leaves
her now, Carlotta knows that be

But let q stranger leave the stall,

DR.. Dumba, Austrian ambassador at Wash

situation in America, by assuming the right to
instruct the subjects OF Austria employed In this
country. to cease work in mills where munitions
of war are manufactured. This Is novel in itself
and may be founded well In law, but Il will
doubtless be seriously debated before final iudg-
ment Is given. No question will be raised as to
the propriety OF DR.. Dumba's giving advice TO his
countrymen. so far as he does not by so doing
interfere with the political affairs OF the United
States. Whether his privilege In this matter in
cludes the actual interference with Industrial
affairs may be discussed. The subject OF the
dual monarchy sojourning In the United States Ia

life and business Is amenable to the customs
and laws OF the country. lie stnI carries with
him claim on the protection OF the Austrian
government which goes so far as 70 see that its
subjects are accorded equal treatment with the
citizens OF any other country. In the present
Instance IL Is not alleged that these rights are
abridged by the home government. but the att

Technicalitis, Thst Ave Embarras,ing

Some OF the really vital points in the present
problem OF the use OF the high seas are over
looked in the discussion OF the more salient
features. One Of them s that Great Britain and
Germany alike, in their pursuit OF the war, are
inclined TO disregard certain little things the
observance OF which would make a much better
understanding between them and the neutral ma
lions. These may be covered by technical inter
probation OF treaties and laws but their breach
now. the matter OF torpedoing merchantmen IL
much in point. The United States has vigorously
protested against the sinking without warning
OF an unarmed trader. and has Germany's promise
that the practice viii be discontinued. But If
British merchantmen are mounting guns, and
thus changing their condition, they make them
selves fall within the classification OF warship.
One British vessel is now being held at Norfolk
where two German converted passenger ships
are informed. The futility Of the practice is ex-
hibited in the OF the Hesperian, whose
single gun may remove II from the protection
promised by Germany. and yet will not allay the
popular indignation against the subsea opera
lions that jeopardize non-combatant lives
This keeping OF pledges to the letter and not
TO the spirit will hardly serve to improve the
feeling on either side II is the absolute indlfter-
once to rights OF neutTels that is most prominent
at present. II may be exousable to the belllger-
snts. who are so eagerly seeking for advantage
but this does not mak> the situation any easier

The Letter Carriers.

We wonder IL our people appreciate the
character and importance OF the letter carriers
convention holding its sessions in omaha this
week. We come in daily contact with the let
ter carriers who bring us our own mall but do
We realize that letter carriers are likewise de-
liverinR the mail send 20 people in other
places, day In and day out, with the same pre-
cisiop and fidelity? Have we Rrasped the sig
nlficance Of the figures showing the growth Of
the free delivery system in scarcely fifty years
until today there are approximately 1900 free
delivery cities with 1900 carriers, TO say
nothing OF nearly $1,000 rural delivery routes?
DO we see that the efficiency OF this vast or
granization, known as the postal service de
ponds the efficiency OF the individual units
H. the various branches. and that the employees
through their organization. like this one, are
constantly working for improvement Of the ser
vice as well as the betterment OF their own con
diton? This may be said without fear Of con-
tradition: that the postoffics could never have
reached it's present status without the work Of
the associations OF postal employees, and that
they will be prime factor in its further pro
gress.
