CAPTURED GUNS USELESS.
Different Calibers Make Them Unfit
for Use by Enemy.
Chicago Herald.)

Guns captured in battle are seldom
used by the captor, and for very good
reason. Take the case Of the field guns.
for example, used ,ty present day ar
mics. They all take practically three
inch shells, but there is a very slight
difference in the actual diameter,
amounting in many cases to only few
of an inch. which prevents
German guns. say. taking English
shells The diameter Of the shell used
with the Belgian field gun, for exam
Pile, is 295 inches, a tenth of an inch
smaller than that Of the German gun.
A Belgian shell would enter the bore
of a German gun too easily, and 1t
would be impossible to fire it accurate
ly. If a German shell were forced into
a Belgian gun that gun would burst
when fired, because the shell Is too big
to go down the barrel. Unless gun is
captured unchanged, together with a
supply Of it's proper ammunition. 1t Is
useless. The capture only means re-

Dayton's Civic PIavorounds

The division of parks, which has
charge of this garden work, cleaned up,
graded and prepared for the use of
children dozen additional play
grounds, so that Dayton, o., town of
10000 people, now has % play
grounds, whereas the city of Washing
ton, with a population of $4,000, has
only 10.
When Dayton children start out for
a frolic on Sunday afternoon the
chances are that they go to Island
park, in the Miami river. which flows
through the town. For years and
years the principal item of news in the
Monday newspapers was a chronicle
of the drownings at Island park. The
division of recreation of the new city
government has made Island park as
safe as a river front can be. A life
saving station has been established.
with fast gasoline launch, thoroughly
equipped for saving life, and manned
by trained lifesayer. Lifesaving sta
tons and lifesaving equipment also
have been provided along the river
bank and a lifesaving crew has been
organized in the fire department.
