Tho Lewis Rapid Eirer.

Sioux City Jouanal: The discovery
has been made that the Lewis rapid
firer, an invention of an officer Of the
United States army, is now the chief
reliance of the British army in the
fighting on the west front. 1t Is said
the Lewis rapid firer is used in all
the British first lines and that it is
as marvel of accuracy and
efficiency by the European belliger-
.ents. The discovery that the Lewis
gun has proved its effectiveness in
warfare is accompanied by the discov-
cry that the United States govern
Iment was offered the device without
charge at the time it was developed
by the inventor, but the powers that
were rejected it as inferior to two
or three European guns. Now that
the European governments, afte ex-
perimenting with many inventions,
have selected the Lewis rapid firer
as superior to them all, the inventor

life of the Israelites and that changed
modern ways have robbed the argu-
ments Of much of their weight. The
committee on revising the Lords
Prayer will recommend the elimination
Of the words, For Thine is the King
dom and the Power and the Glory For
ever" In requesting the omission the
committee will say the words consti-
tute part Of the Doxology added by
early translators and that they are not
in the original text Of Holy Scriptures.
The omission would make the prayer
Identical with the Roman Catholic
version The same committee will
probably ask the elimination from the
Book of Common Prayers the prayers
for, "Jews, infidels and Turks" The
proposal is based on the ground that
it is unwarranted to class the Jews
with the others. A canon prohibiting
marriage when either party to the con-
tract has wife or husband living and
has been divorced for any cause aris-
ing after marriage will be presented
for action. Many notable churchmen
gathered here today for the opening.

by William s. Haskell, coun-
sci for the Game
Association.
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-As soon as
the treaty providing protection for
birds that migrate between Canada
and the United States was ratified
the question that became uppermost
in the minds OF those interested in
wild life protection, was whether this
action precluded any further question
as to the constitutionality of the fed.
eral law for the protection of migra.
tory birds. Treaty and law are prac-
tically the same in their provisions in
SO far as this country Is concerned
and the federal law is now before the
United States supreme court ON an
appeal from q decision which pro-
nounced 1t unconstitutional
William 9. Haskell, counsel Of the
American Game Protective associa-
tion Of New York City. has Just com
pleted an exhaustive study of the
question and has come to the con-
clusion that there Is no doubt that
the treaty does preclude any question
as to the laws constitutionality.
Mr.. Haskell states that the supreme
court in constituting Article VI, clause
2 of the constitution, which provides
that all such treaties shall be the
supreme law OF the land, has decid-
ed that beyond question the states
surrendered to the federal govern
ment the treaty making power, there
by making a treaty q law binding
within the territorial limits Of each
state and requiring the judges in
every state to recognize its provis-
ions.
The treaty, therefore. being consti-
tutional, and 1t being the duty Of the
United States to carry it's provisions
into effect, any law which enforces
the treaty must be recognized as
valid. The agreements in the treaty
are identical with the regulations
made under the law so that the treaty
is given effect through the law With
out the law there would be no machin.
cry to carry into effect the treaty
agreements and therefore 1t is highly
improbable that the court will declare
the law unconstitutional.
1t would be helpful for the moral
effect on those who have doubted the
constitutionality of the law, If the
supreme court would consider the
matter and express its opinion that
as the law is required to carry out the
treaty agreements, it can no longer be
questioned or disregarded, and it is
to be hoped that the department OF
Justice will be able to obtain such an
expression from the court.

AS they drove along the street they
stopped q man passing, and this
woman who knew SO much about
stored grapes. explained to the man
their wishes and asked him to direct
them to such a store house, and he
said, Now ! am not to be quoted on
this thing, but IL you go 80 many
blocks north and turn to your right
you'll find all the stored grapes you
want" The women we're cordial in
their thanks. and all began, as women
will, to give directions to the chauf-
feur, who sat still, not even starting
the engine. Being more sophisticat-

With asters purple, white:
And politicians racing round
From morning until night,

October comes-the autumn queen
In gorgeous colors dressed;
The nominees still on the job.
Nor gives US any rest.
Then comes November-chilly month,
The seventh brings frost;
And lots of politicians find
That in the race they've lost.
For on that day-that fateful day
They tumble, great and small;
And like the nuts (some Of them are).
Frost nips them and they fall.

Wildly Shown.

With the aid Of the science OF
photography Mr.. Cooper has been
able to produce series of motion pic
ture views Of the Knight motor in
magnified form. When projected on
the screen the audience almost ex-
poets to behold the immortal CULVER
ride out into the picture on the back
of his favorite giant.
Because of the Gulliver-like effect,
every detail in the parts Of the
knight motor is brought out just as
the works of your watch would be
brought out were they magnified to a
size equal that Of an automobile.
"And this" says L. Irwin, president
OF the Overland-Irwin Co., under
whose auspices the lecture is to be
held, "is only one of the treats which
Mr.. Cooper has in store.
In Simple Language.
THE lighting effects in the studio
where the pictures were made are
said by film men to have been excep-
tionally good. Every detail in the
construction of the knight motor is
brought out sharply and clearly and
is explained to the audience by Mr..
Cooper in language stripped Of all
technicalities and thus readily under
stood by the man behind the wheel.
How an automobile engine de-
velops power at any given speed is al
SO graphically illustrated by Mr..
Cooper. The lecturer has prepared
for this purpose chart which in turn
has been filmed in the studios of the
Lyman-Howe company, the effect on
the screen being new in the science
of photography and very interesting to
the public.
