JAPANESE EXPEDITION
TO MEXICO" Is HOAX

The following clew to a pretended
belief In a Japanese expedition to Mex
leo is very patent sample of German
propaganda. The government has
known that much of it has gone on.
One rather ridiculous feature Is to be
noted-that the message speaks of
taking troops to Yucatan, which is not
on the west coast of Mexico, but the
east coast, and therefore inaccessible
to troops thus carried-the reference
indicating lack of geographical
knowledge Here are the entries
showing how this story of a Japanese
expedition was spread:
December Is, 1914: Telegram from
Washington: Have you any news
about Japanese transport reported to
be taking troops to Campeche yucca
tam? Answer by cable"
+ December %, 1914: Sent the fol.
lowing telegram to Manila and San
Francisco: Have you any news etc.

WIRING A TWELVE INCH GUN.
II Takes III Miles of Steel Tape to
Make the Jacket.

II Takes liz Miles of Steel Tape to
Make the Jacket
According to the Mitigate Monthly,
no fewer than III miles of steel wire
are wound on a twelve inch gun that
weighs thirteen and a half tons. In
appearance this wire, which is Of the
same quality as piano wire, resembles
tape. 1t is quarter of an inch wide
and tenth of an inch thick. 1t is
tested to a breaking strength of 110
tons. The wire unwinds from a reel
as the gun barrel revolves, and ten
sion Of about fifty tons to the square
inch insures mechanical accuracy in
wrapping it round the gun.
Various parts of the gun receive diff
ferent thiclSnesses Of wire. AT the
brcech Of twelve inch gun, where the
chief strain comes, there are ninety-two
layers, which give thickness Of nine
and half inches Of wire, but at the
muzzle there are only fourteen layers.
Over the wire the gunmakers shrink on
steel rings at white heat When they
cool they contract and grip with i'm
mense force. The rifling Of the barrel
Is an automatic process, an example of
wonderful mechanical ingenuity. When
the gun is finished experts test the ac-

BOMBS FROM AIRPLANEs.



At the numerous aerial bombing
schools pilots and observers are taught
how to drop bombs accurately Oh sta
tionary and moving objects on the
ground and ON captive balloons.
Bombs Of all classes are used, from the
eight pound high explosive bomb to the
200 pound bomb as well as the phos-
phorus and rochambite bombs.
The instrument that is used In direct
ing the placing of bomb on the object
aimed at is simple device and Is pro,
vided with several adjustments that
can be made almost instantly. One Of
these gives the speed at which the ma
chine Is travelling another Is an ordi-
nary water level, and both In conjunc-

the bomb. The wind has to be serious.

THE THRONE N THE HOME.
Where Two Should Rule as One to In
sure Real hsppinesa

Where Two Should Rule as One to In
sure Real Happiness.
"a man may build throne for the
woman he loves" says the Mothers
Magazine, "but he will find that to
make her queen he must mount 1t be-
side her, for only where two rule as one
can either hold true sway. Whether
married or single, we do not live unto
ourselves alone. All the world some
how is affected by what we are, and In
the married state we have greater
obligation than merely to keep the
peace or to observe the conventions or
to demonstrate how we can improve
upon Gods law Of life and love.
ut Is well that we should use every
God given power Of mind and spirit,
every quality and grace and virtue at
our command, before and after, in or
der to live up to the privileges and re-
sponsibilities Of marriage. But mar
riage fortunately is thing Of the
heart rather than Of the intellect, and
1t Is our wrong attitude of mind to-
ward matrimony that would drag 1t
down to our own level and limit Of
comprehension and make 1t merely
human mistake instead of divine gift.
IF we would make it blessing in
stead Of curse, If we would have it
encompass all of our needs in Joy and
sorrow, If we would have 1t endure
with us through life and eternity as the
sublime fact of our existence, we must
live up to 1t hour by hour in spirit
of faith and hope and charity"

I PAYING THE DOCTOR.
Should 1t Be For Curing You or For
Keeping You Wel2


We haven't yet learned to take ad-
vantage OF the resources Of civilization
to aHything like the extent we might.
For instance, we wait until we get
sick, and then we pay the doctor to
help us get well. 1t would be much
more sensible to pay him to help US
keep from getting sick.
Fantastic idea, you say. Not at all.
1t already is working in large num-
Der of college communities, right here
In the State universities Of Missouri
and Kansas, fer instance. In both In
stitutioDs the pupil is charged a fee
which is applied to safeguarding his
health. In the University Of Missouri
the plan is still further developed SO
that the fee covers medical and sur
gical attendance. The health work In
both schools is so interesting, not only
for what it is doing for the pupils, but
for the example 1t is setting other COM
munitles, that 1t is only right and
proper to call attention to 1t.
The important point is that these uni
versities and other schools are proving
that health can be made much more of
a community matter than had been
supposed and that the wise thing to do
is for groups to pay medical men to
keep them well.-Kansas City Star.
