This he flung about his head in irClcs .Aster, and faster, until it had gained centrifugal momentum. Then David carefully released from between his fingers one of the leathern thongs the sling opened and the momentum carried the stone to the head of the mighty Goliath, and Goliath fe, dead.
 The powderless gun brings up from biblical history the main force of its power that of centrifugal momentum. But it supplsnts Dayid's trained fnecrs for release, with a mechanical device set to measured perfection in detail; and when the ranges are fixed, the shell or explosive from thita revolving instrument of destruction is thrown with such accuracy that it's mark is destroyed.
 Mrs. Stanton is not the inventor ot this powderless gun, but it is wholly due 10 her enthusiasm that it has been developed
 "The gun was invented by Dr Albert F. Alhertson, said Mrs. Stanton "D7. Albertson did not permit his name to be identified with the inventor be- cause he did not desire the publicity that follOwi such announcement He said it would interfere win his work. He was a Dane, but naturalized American citizen and a patriot. He had been a professor of the Copen- hagen University Of Denmark.
 When Dr. Albertson came to m3 about his invention he was short of funds. He believed firmly in the sue cess of hl1 plans. but he did not have the money to fully develop them. I talked to my husband about the stun ton, as I was inclined to help Dr, Albertson and this inclination was made easy because my husband usd- ally encouraged my interest in help ing othena
 T financed the building Of the gun. after my husband said it was i'm practicable You know my husband was a very practical man in mechanic al affairs. and perhaps he passed nasty judgment on this pattern that had been shown us Perhaps too might have given up the idea Of assisting Dr. Albertson further hut for his deep enthusiasm. and his sincere

 So said beautiful Mrs. Katherine stanton. widow of Frank Stanton, whose millions are behind this won derful invention. The idea of develop ing a pdwderless gun came to tac Stantons some months before his death. Mrs. Stanton was in England placing the matter before that gov 3srnment walen her husbands failing lheaith called her home. When she Preached her native land her husban Twas dead. but the burden oi the care iof ihe thirty million dollar estate that came to her hands did not alter her lntereat in the development of this invention, and now that her country lis on the verge of war, Mrs. stanton has taken interest anew in the sub lject.
 And Mrs. Stanton added, "eyery lining that can do 10 be helpful to Ipresident Wilson in the protection or

 The powderiess gun is now being laged extensively by the allies.
