MAX PUTS PUZZLER TO JAKE
The narrow margin by which Pres.
Jake Loeb swings his whip hand over
the school board was shown again in
the rejection by school management
committee yesterday Of Logb's re-
quest that Gertrude English and
Henry Cox be appointed principals.
The two were dropped among the
famous 60 on June 81. Their salaries
would be cut from $4,000 to $500
if the Jake Loeb proposal that they
be returned had passed.
Max Loeb put a puzzler to Jake.
He said if Miss English and Mr.. Cox
were good teachers and Jake Loeb
was so anxious to have them in the
school he ought to have. voted, for
them on June z. He asked why Jake
did not so vote June q. The presi-
dent did not answer.

JOHN BARLEYCORN JOLTED
The corner saloon got bumped
badly yesterday. The vets, anxious
to head of a dry wave by reforming
the bar, the drys ready to soak booze
on any excuse, handed Mr.. Jno. Bar
IeycOrn some severe jOlts.
Mayor Thompson says the license
should be raised $500 more to 81, 500;
the liquor commission suggested that
saloons should be united from po-
Iitical strings, care should be used in
giving licenses, beer signs taken from
the outside of saloons, booths remoV-
ed, bars well lighted, treating prohib-
tied, gambling squelched, bartenders
licensed and saloons barred from
residence districts.

THE REAL JOY OF SHOOTING

There are experts and has-beens
and never-wases in every branch of
the shooting sport from trap shoot
ing to the small-bore game.
One sometimes wonders what en-
joyment man finds in shooting if he
always trails along at the tag end of
, the score sheet.
The real JOY OF shooting comes not
from winning various and sundry
prizes both useful and otherwise but
from a multitude of small things in
significant in themselves but of nigh
ty pwer when all work together.
The acrid smell of burnt powder
the sharp crack of the report the feel
of cold blue steel, and the genuine
good fellowship that goes with it all
forge chains of attraction about one
that neither poor scores nor an
empty pocketbook can break.
The man whose chief pleasure in
shooting lies in winning prizes real
ly derives less pleasure from the
sport than the shooter to whom
burning powder and the handling OF
firearms is OF more Importance than
anything else. / do not mean to sa,
that winning prize is not worth
while. for it is. The point is that
unless man really enjoys shootina
for its own sake, he is missing most
I OF the fun.
The sport of shooting must hay,
tremendous power OF fascination
to keep men plugging away fol
years and years the way they do
There is perhaps no sport which
comes so soon after the cradle and
extended so far into old age.
Old men and young men mingl,
together in the shooting game an;
old Father Time is pushed into tn,
background.

SPEED OF BULLETS

There are a lot of interesting
facts surrounding the subject of the
flight of rifle bullets. For instance.
high power rifle bullets travel very
much faster than does sound, and
consequently in modern warfare. ;f
man is shot and killed by bullet
from a rifle couple of hundred
yards away, as the Irishman saws.
"TIe don't hear the shot until he is
dead"
1t is also true that it is impossible
to make high power rife silent.
You can put silencer on il and
and some of the noise is cut down
in fact all of the noise caused by the
expansion of the gases as they leave
the muzzlc of the rifle, but there is
still left a whip-like cracking noise
caused b. the flight of the bullet.
| call it whip-like crack because me-
chanically it is produced in the same
way. AS the bullet travels along ar
hiSh speed III goes so fast that the
air does not have time to ny in he
mind it and there is a space back OF
| the bullet OF about one inch or two
inches in which a very high vacuum
OBTAINS and the noise is caused by
the sudden collapse of this vacuum.
in other words, by the air rushing in
ana closing up. / believe that this
noise is irregular and iynot a steady
noise because OF viriations in the
density of the air through which the
bullet travels. and also because OF
the many echoes which are produced.
The fastest railroad train goes
New York to San Francisco in about
1-2 days. If our Government
Springfield rifle were fired I'm the
right direction and the wind resis-
tance did not slow the bullet down.

Literary centenarles.

The year 1916 will be a remarkable
one for anniversaries. First and fore
most is the Shakespeare centenary;
July 7th will mark the centenary of
the death of another of our greatest
dramatists, Richard Brinsley Sheri-
dan, who died in the greatest poverty,
but was accorded a magnificent fu-
neral in Westminster abbey. Other
literary anniversaries are those of
Charlotte Bronte, who was born in
1916, and Thomas Gray, the poet, who
first saw the light century earlier.
This year also witnesses the hun
dredth anniversary Of the birth Of
Philip James Riley, poet who has
always met with far greater venera-
ton in the United States than ir
his native country.-London Tit-Bits

economical observatories.

Plans are on foot to erect an as
Economical observatory on Volkollen,
one of the highest mountain submits
in Scandinavia. A citizen of Duluth,
Mimi, Mr.. ]. H. Darling, has under
taken to erect an observatory on one
of the public Fairgrounds in that city,
and to equip it with nine-inch equa-
torial refractor. Plans have been
drawn for an observatory in Toronto
to serve as headquarters of the Royal
Astronomical Society of Canada. The
building is to be erected in a public
park, and maintained by the Univer-
sity Of Toronto. The proposed equip
ment includes a 20-inch telescope. This
project is at present in allegiance, on
account of the war.-Scientific Ameri

Doc Caused Raby,s Death.

The death of a ten-months-old child
at Birmingham, England, caused by a
chained dog, was investigated by the
coroner a few days ago. The two COM
panions were left alone for a time, the
baby secured in a chair and the dog
chained to the door close by. When
the baby's mother returned she found
the little one lying on the floor stran-
gled. The dog had apparently leaped
on the chair, probably in play, and in
his antics the chain had been passed
round the baby's neck, gripping him
tighter and tighter as the dog strug'
gled for liberty. A verdict of "acci
dental death" was recorded.

Noon Hour Firmly Established.

The noon hour surely is firmly es-
tablished institution in downtown New
York. 1t was not established merely
for luncheon, but for numerous other
recreations equally as important.
Food is not everything. In Battery
place the young men who work in
the big buildings in that vicinity have
organized a baseball club. And it is
real baseball game, too. There is
this difference, a tennis ball is sub
stituted for the regular horsehide. And
no wonder. For the bat used is not a
stout hickory club-it is the human
fist. Nevertheless, the game is base
ball, with pitcher, catcher, basemen
and fielders. Every day, except in
rain, it has been the custom to assem-
BILE at this spot shortly after the noon
hour and start game. Large crowds
turn out to watch and applaud their
favorite players-sometimes larger
and usually far more enthusiastic
crowds than those who pay admission
to see the Giants perform.

A UNIQUE RECORD


Grateful testimony for Doan's
Kidney Pills. published everywhere
is Of itself convincing evidence OF
merit. Confirmed testimony forms
still stronger evidence. Years ago,
a citizen Of this locality gratefully
acknowledged the benefit deriv d
from Doan's Kidney Pills. The
statement is now confirmed-the
proof more convincing. Cases of
this kind are plentiful in the work
of Doan's Kidney Pills-the record
is unique.
Mrs. A. 7. Lee, Elkton. KY, says:
Kidney disease made me miserable
and could not turn in bed without
my back being racked with pain.

There's many a Broadwayite posing
as ready money who only has two
changes of raiment-on and off. Yet

should have a suit for every occasion
after that. Here's the dopo for the

suit or two or six or eight for each
and every occasion must be included
In the wardrobe, and 1t can all be
done for the trifiing sum of $4,000 a
year, or 500 a week. It's very sim
pie when one knows the system, the
molders OF fashion say. Some of the
fellows who have a suit for every day
in the week, and that is the one they
are wearing, are thinking of establish

it. The tailors then may alter the
aforementioned decree.-New Yorh

Message Thar "Hsby Has New
Tooth" Set Him to Thoughts
Of the Future.

"Baby has q new TOOTH" came faint
Iy over the wire. The mother laughed.
She added something, but the girl
clerk did not understand. The phone
did not work we'll.
Baby has a new tooth" The news
went round the Office. All the clerks
stopped TO listen. They, too, laughed.
Baby has a new TOOTH announced

He wasn't growing old, in fact he
was in the prime of life-just old
enough to mix sober judgment with
youthful energy and do things to count
in a hustling, bustling world Of rapid
changes and big achievements-he felt
that his opportunity had come and
that he was going to. be a success.
But a streak of gray showed In his
hair-his wife had commented on It
only that morning-and there was so
much to do, far more, he knew now,
than his youth had reckoned. He
looked out a window. The wind was
blowing; he noticed that weather
vane pointed northwest.
Baby has new TOOTH" With a
shock II came back to him. 1t was
his first born. He thought of the
child and he thought of its mother.
Soon the baby would have two rows
of teeth IN his head; then he would
grow up and, his mothers work fin
ished, he. and in turn his son, and
his son, and all the generations after,
like he, the parent of them all, would
lay their little coral lives on his,
and in time the island of his dreams
would rise above the ocean of igno-
rance and fear and constitute in the
sunlight of truth a new and more
beautiful world than what he knew.
His head lifted and his heart light
ened. After all, he reasoned, there
is use in work, and he turned to his
desk.-San Antonio Express.

Pictures In the Home.

No one can tell you what pictures
to hang on your walls-that is a mat
ter of individual taste. But an at.
tempt should be made to have the pic.
lures harmonic, not only with the
others in the same room, but with the
background. Many rooms having rest
full, harmonious, wall colors are
spoiled by the variety in frames and
mats, or by the groupings of the pic
lures; also by putting into a small
room a picture that needs distance to
bring out its full meaning. 1t is not
necessary to have the pictures all the
work of one artist, or all on the same
subject, but they should harmonic in
tone and style of frame.-Alice Nc
