NAVAL GUN ON LAND AN EFFECTIVE WEAPON

PARIS. June 13. - The use of na- val guns ashore in the present war, it is pointed out by a naval expert, is not a mere expedient, resulting from accidental or incidental circumstances. but as a well defined reason in the greater initial speed Of the projectile of a naval gun, and the consequently longer range than that Of field artil- lery. The new services they render are due to the aeroplane. which gives the gunner on land longer ranges of fire than he used to get.
 The 15-inch naval guns with which the Germans occasionally lombard Dunktrk and Nancy are believed to be from ships lying idle in the Kiel ca nal They are utilized because they

INVENTS ARTIFICIAL HAND
 WITH REAL FINGERS

MUNICH, June 12. One of the many remarkable artificial hands in vented during the course of the war is one just perfected by a mechanic named Will who claims to have solved the problem of creating fingers which can be moved independently of one another, and which will grasp an Ob- ject as does the human hand
 The fingers of this artificial hand are made of slender pieces of steel, three to a finger, connected and at tached by tiny hinges to the metal constituting the palm. By a system of fine wires running to the elbow or the shoulder the fingers can. it is claimed, be crooked to any desired degree so as to supply the power to eraps. A twist of the arm releases the grasp of the fingers on the ob- iects they hold.
 Wills invention was made possible, it is declared, by the German museum of Munich, one of the worlds famous technical institutions. Will conceived the idea of the hand and laid it before the museum authorities. who then placed at his disposal the necessary means and assistance to perfect it. Now that it is completed the museum has given the details to the larger scientific magazines of Germany, and offers to equip free of cost anywhere shops or laboratories for manufactur- ing the hand on larger scale. The faith of the museum authorities in the invention is considered by many per sons as proof of its practicability.

 The type of the naval guns would have been more commonly used on land had they not been SO much heavier and more difficult to manipulate than the shorter range field and siege guns. Seyen-inch to eight-inch naval pieces may be mount ed on railroad trucks, but the recoil of the larger calibres is so violent as to require a solid concrete foundation.

An Ounce Of Prevention

Newspapers all over the coun.
try are full of accounts of the
spread of infantile paralysis.
Actually the number of cases is
small but they are distributed
over the entire continent, and
no community is exempt from
the danger. The true nature of
the disease is only imperfectly
understood and methods of deal
ing with it are still in the exper.
mental stage. The one thing
OH which all authorities are
agreed is that good sanitation
and the observance of the ordi.
nary rules of health affords the
best possible protection. What.
ever other methods are adopted
we should clean up and keep
clean. This is always good
practice, and with the very real
danger that every community
faces just now it becomes i'm.
peritive. Waste matter should
not be allowed to accumulate
anywhere. Weeds should be
kept down; manure should be
removed, and kitchen refuse
should be disposed Of immedi.
ately in order that there may be
no place for the propagation of
disease germs or for the breed
ing of flies which carry them
from place to place. The obser-
vance of these and similar pre-.
cautions may prevent an cpl
demic in our community. In
any event it will pay because it
will improve the general health.

'Press Bows" to Have Real Summer Outing

The summer meeting of the
North Dakota Press Association,
Which will be held Friday and
Saturday, August 4th and 9Th,
promises to be of unusual inter-
est this year. 1t will be held at
Lake Metigoshe and the good
people of Bottineau are planning
to show the editors and their
families a time that they will
long remember with pleasure.
The summer meeting of the as
soclation, while it transacts BUSH
ness and studies to make better
North Dakota newspapers, still
combines much pleasure with its
work-the summer meeting is
the vacation meeting.
The Executive Committee of
the Association is issuing a pro-
gram of unusual interest and
the Bottineau Boosters under
O. #. Rishoff of that city are
planning for the fishing, boating,
automobiling, bathing and other
forms of summer pleasures
which will be ION tap. The at.
tendance promises to be excep-
tionally large at this years con-

ans gave the prelude in the even
ing program and proved very
versatile entertainers, Mr.. Bo.
hanan made quite a hit with his
impersonations. Ducrot, the
Wizard, to put it in mild terms,
created a sensation. Besides
having a store of mysterious
mysteries he kept his audience
alert at all times with his witty
remarks and novel form of en-
tertainment.
The Christine Giles Company,
who appeared on the Friday af-
ternoon program, is composed of
real musicians and their work
was duly appreciated. They
were followed by Hon. B. F.
Macdonald who talked on

Mac Donald called it moon

scathing denunciation of many
of the shams and follies that are
common, not in some other
place, but right hele in our own
community.
