MILITARY DRILL AT
COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
White Pine County Board of Education
Will Employ Special Instructor

Ely Record: The County Board of
Education has decided to make mill
taIy drill for the boys part of the
regular course of training at the
county high school beginning with
the Fall term. Arrangements are
being made to have special instruct
or for this work and it is believed
that most of the necessary equip
ment will be furnished by the Gov
eminent,
In line with the custom at all other
public schools where military train
ing is in effect, the parents are ex-
pected to furnish the uniforms for
the boys, but this does not involve
any additional outlay by the parents
as the uniforms can be furnished for
no more than ordinary clothes for
the boys would cost. The school
board has, of course, no power to
enforce any particular style of dress
among the students of the school,
but it is hoped that the patrons OF
the school will appreciate the ad-
vantages to be derived from military
training and will see that the boys
are supplied with uniforms.
The action taken blythe board of
education is in line with what is be-
ing done by the best schools all over
the country, and in some States,
notably the State of New York,
there have been legislative enact
ments making it obligatory upon
school boards to put in military
training as part of the regular course.

THE WHIP IN RIFLE BARRELS
II Is Caused by the Pressure of Mod
ern High Power Powder.

The use of high power powder in ri
fies has given rise to phenomenon
which did not exist In black SsowdeI
days. This is known as whip" and is
due TO the pressure and vibration set
up by the powder. 1t is constant with
given loads and is always in the same
direction.
Sights are aligned by the manufac-
turer to compensate for this whip In
proportion to the powder charge used.
In firing auxiliary cartridges it will Of
ten be found that the rifle shoots off
center. As a matter of fact the bullet
from the auxiliary is travelling in a
true line with the bore, and 1t Is the
sights that are wrong. The lighter
charge of the auxiliary does not pro-
duce the usual whip, with the result
that the line in prolongation of the
bore Of the rife along which the bullet
travels is not the line given by the
alignment of the sights.
Two other rifle terms that must not
be confused are upsettage and keyhol.
ing. Keyholing is the tendency Of the
bullet to turn over in flight. while up
settage is the slight shortening Of the
major axis of the bullet due to the
force of the charge. 1t was peculiar to
black powder fred behind lead bullets
and does not exist to any appreciate
extent In metal jacketed bullets with
smokeless powder. In the latter case
the charge burns more slowly and the
jacket stiffens the bullet against the /,
sudden blow from behind.-outing.

Antiquity of Soap.

In spite of the antiquity Of soap, as
evidenced by soap shop still to be
seen in the ruins of Pompeii, the
chemistry of soapmaking was not I'M
derstood by us until about century
ago. Since then soap and ornaments
have become intimately associated
with each other. For long time soap
makers made no profit out Of their
"lyes" Now they extract from these
byproducts glycerfn, which. besides
being a drug, food and toilet requi-
site" enters into the manufacture Of
nitroglycerin and is the basis of dyna-
mite and other high explosives

He Hooked the Main Chance Because He
Liked Fishing

In the February American Magazine is
an article by Hugh $. Fullerton which
shows how prominent and wealthy bus
mess and professional men in this coun-
! try hooked the main chance. One story
! is paradoxical, for railroad man now
chairman OF the board of one of our
greatest railroad systems took a job that
nobody else wanted, simply because there
was a lake behind the station in which
he could fish.
One day after fishing trip be received
a wire 10 stop northbound special as
forest fire was sweeping across the line.
He barely had time TO flag the train, on
which were some OF the first officials of
the road.
"The wire to the north went down,
pail of smoke fell over them, and the
glare OF the burning. forests grew bright.
The officials decided to make headquar
tiers AT the little pine station, and the
agent turned over his mess of fish to
them. For three days that tiny station
was the only source through which the
world received news of one of the great
est forest fires that ever swept the north
woods The young operator worked 10
hours without sleep, ordering relief, di-
recting the fire fighting work, sending
arranging detouring of trains.
The officials fled as the blaze grew near,
the boy remained. Then heavy rains
ended the peril.
"1he boy realized he had reached the
turning point. He had done magnificent
and heroic work under the eyes OF the
officials. He expected reward; but in the
hustle of reopening the road he was for ,
gotten. He waited one month, then had |
an idea. He knew better than to write |
and tell the officials what good work he
had done, so he caught fine lot of fish |
md, packing the best in wire grass, he |
sent them to the officials he had met
He received brief, dictated note OF
thanks. He waited a week and sent an.
other box Of fish. These refreshed the
memory. He wrote person
Il letter, apologizing for failure to thank
lin for his magnificent work during the
ire and expressing his delight over the
ish.
Zone more box of fish, which included
26-pound muskellunge, caused the Off
ials to remember he was a hero. He
vas called to the city and given an inn

ways lived there with the exception of a
