stltutOns- 1t is stated that considerable
difficulty has been experienced at Fort
Bayard from the interference by out
side automobile concerns with the bust
ness OF the post livery stable and garage
ana that IL is very much desired to keep
transportation of this kind in the hands
of people who would comply with post
regulations. which could be done by CIV
ing the enterprise a semi-oficial charac-
ter by its association with the post ex-
change. The need for a Photographic
gallery is not so urgent The advantage
of having the livery stable and garage
on the reservation is that the post eu-
thorittes can then keep track of incom-
ing and outgoing passengers, and it will
be possible, also, to prevent the introduc-
tion Of liquor. Unless this were au-
thorized, the post authorities reported
that a return TO the previous conditions
would deal a serious blow to the main
tenance Of discipline at the hospital.
Fuses for ProjectiIes.
The ordnance experts are having diff.
t1culty in obtaining a satisfactory fuse
for projectiles. In fact, it is stated that
a fuse that meets the requirements in all
respects yet is to be developed. Before
the outbreak OF the European war the
army chief Of ordnance was negotiating
with the Krupps in Germany in relation
TO an improved clock fuse" a sample
of which had been obtained. This fuse
is the subject Of American patents, and
it was desired to secure the rights tc
manufacture them in this country for
our army and to obtain information as
to the best methods Of manufacture and
instructions for our artisans in produc-
ing them. The negotiations were inter
rupted by the war, and, of course, II
since has been impossible TO obtain the
fuses or instructions as to their manu-.
facture from abroad. Lacking this. the
ordnance department has not succeeded
in producing the fuses in this country
