grounds by the ordnance corps, and
the statements published concerning
its efficacy are the results of actual
trials.
1t has taken many months OF ex-
perimenting to develop the bullet,
which is exactly like the ordinary bull
let in appearance, but has an outside
covering Of lead around the armor
piercing center of steel. This lead
casing acts as a lubricant In passing
the bullet through the steel and Is
ripped from the steel core as the bull
let passes through solid obstruction.
Only a small number of the bullets
have been manufactured, and these
were made entirely in government
shops. Fifty ordnance and engineer
corps officers were present when
these were used In the first tests. A
three-quarter inch steel plate about
forty feet long and twelve feet wide
was erected, and behind 1t were fixed
six silhouette targets in the semblance
of soldier.
A detail Of men from the coast artil-
lery and ordnance corps did the firing
The bullets would not pierce the steel
at 100 yards. At fifty, however, they
riddled the steel plate and the sill
houette targets behind it.
1t Is not believed that the new bull
let will be valuable or necessary In
ordinary infantry engagements In the
open. It's worth is said to lie princi-
pally in attacks on houses, steel shell
tiers and other distractions behind
which enemy troops are concealed.
Tests have been made to demonstrate
that the bullets can be fred from a
machine gun as well as a rife.

COUNTRY SHORT OF PENNIES
MINIS Working Twenty-four Hours a
Day to Relieve the Conditions.

Washington. - What this country
needs today is more pennies, says the
treasury department. To that end the
Philadelphia and San Francisco mints
are working twenty-four hours a day
and the Denver mint sixteen hours a
day turning them out.
A lot of reasons are given for the
shortage, the chief one being the in
creased use of the copper coins, with
every dealer in everything adding a
penny every now and then.
