personal liberty it is the liberty |

DEPARTMENT ASKS
PROTEST BE MADE
Friends Of Education Urged to Ask
Executive Council Not to Move
Department Offices.

There is a move on foot to remove
the offices of the department of pub
lie instruction from its present quar-
tiers in the state house, to smaller
quarters. The following appeal. adj
dressed to friends of education is
being sent out. asking that protest
against removal be made:
committee appointed by the
executive council to provide rooms
for the insurance commission is about
to recommend that the department of
public instruction be removed to other
quarters in spite of the fact that suit
able offices having ample vault facili-
ties can be provided without remov-
ing the department of public instruc-
ton. The department has been in
its present quarters since the state
capitol was completed. 1t is one of
the largest departments of the state :;
perhaps visited by as many people as
any department in the state house.
The educational interests of the state
are second to no other interests.
Do the educators of Iowa want this
change? Do the friends of education
wish to have their department placed
in cramped quarters or put into some
flat or dwelling totally unfit for such
purposes? Do the people of Iowa
want the department of public schools
handicapped? The proposed changes
can be interpreted in no other way
than that financial interests are con.
sidered above educational. Do you
wish to see tn, educational interests
of the state belittled in the eyes OF
the public and the department OF
public instruction Inundated? If not
letter or telegram of protest should
be sent to the executive council. Des

ABOUT MACHINE GUNS

Against machine-guns the rifleman
is helpless, a military expert remarked;
and he was right. Actual tests Of
machine-guns have shown them to be
superior to picked marksmen. At a
test in this country some time ago,
forty-two first class shots were pitted
against one Maxim, each side firing
for one minute at a target represent
ing infantry in line, at distance
which was unknown, but which was
actually 1000 yards. These were the
results: forty-two men, 40S rounds,
81 hits; machine-gun, 228 rounds, 60
hits: although the Maxim spent some
time in getting the range.
Machine-guns are really rifles with
a mechanical feed, which supplies
them rapidly with cartridges. In all
modern patterns they are automatic in
action. The gas produced by the ex-
plosion or shock Of recoil opens the
breech. elects the spent cartridge,
loads the rife, closes the breech, and
fires the charge. These complicated
operations are carried out with extra
ordinary speed.
To give an example. The Maxim
can lire at least $50 rounds minute,
or more than seven shots per second,
and if in exceptionally good oreder
and clevcrly operated can discharge
600 rounds minute.
In the British Army at the begin
ming Of the war the number of ma
chine-guns was two to each battalion
or cavalry regiment. In the German
army there was an extraordinary de-
velopement of the machine-gun Sec
tons shortly before the war. Indeed,
the enemy is stated to have taken the
field with $4,000 of these weapons, SO
that each German battalion must have
had ten; if not more, which gave them
an enormous advantage above the AL
lies at the outset.-London Answers.
