mapped out, 1t was generally taken
for granted that the president will use
his utmost efforts to prevent such n

sAS1uEs' MOVIE MAN

Rainey is one of the official photos-
raphers for the American expeditionary
force in France. He came to France
with the American Red Cross, but was
prevailed on to turn his endeavors to-
ward recording every important NOV.
of the all-important American "Sani.
N.Y."
Rainey's movies of lions, tigers and
other wild beasts taken in British West
Africa are known throughout America.
1t was he who first took Texas dogs
to the jungle to track big game. Days
and even weeks were required by the
American picture hunter to secure good
films of hippopotami, rhinoceros and
'''ei iote epecimtu Oi luc Alllcdu
wilds.
The occasion of American troops
marching through Paris on July 4. 1917,
furnished Rainey more excitement than
weeks of Jungle hunting. Beginning
at the Invalides, where General PERISH
ing received the flags and banners
which may some day be famous In
American fighting records, Rainey be-
gan swapping the soldiers, officers and
the crowd. Dashing at top speed with
his movie camera through sardine.like
masses of people he secured every move

AMERICAN INVENTION UPSETS
THEORY OF ARTILLERY BATTLES

Washington, Aug. Am ingenious
American must again be given credit
for another revolutionary invention,
this time one which is calculated 20
upset the whole theory of artillery
battles.
The new invention, the name of which
must be kept secret for military rea-
sons, is based upon an invention per-
fected by the United States bureau of
standards, the decrementer, an instru.
ment which is used to tell the location
of any noise producing body by the
decrement of the air waves produced.
By means of the new invention,
which is now in actual use on the
French front, it is possible to tell the
exact location of German cannon,
even when it cannot be seen or heard.
1t is possible to judge, even at dis
tance Of eight miles, so accurately the
position of an enemy gun that shell
can be placed within fifty feet of the
cannon aimed at.
The instrument now in use is set up
ct certain point on the French line,
and the actual distance to the enemy
cannon is judged by the decreasing air
waves. From another instrument at
another point in the French line simi.
lar reading is given so that with the
two instruments and the German can
non a triangle is formed By determ-
ining the exact distance from the two
instruments to the German cannon, its
position can be found. A shell is fired
from a French gun and the position at
which it strikes can again be determined
by the use of the new American instru
ment. If the aim is inaccurate, it can
be corrected until the German cannon
is destroyed.
This instrument is SO revolutions
in its practical application that when
it is placed into use along the entire
western front officials say, the use OF
aeroplanes as loeaters of enemy artll'
lerv will be done away with.

Interesting Address to Glen
wood Ladies' Interested in
Canning and Preserving
A LARGE ATTENDANCE

MISS SHERIDAN go. E. ihresth. %.
Due to the inclemency of the wealth
er last Monday the canning demonstra-
tion which Miss Sheridan of the State
Agricultural college was to have given
on the Hotel Colorado lawn was given
in the Dougan building on Eighth
street and it was well attended by
Glenwood ladies anxious to learn tile
truth from first hands about the cold
pack canning process.
Miss Sheridan is an interesting
speaker and she explained in minutest
detail the various. steps in the cold
pack process, concerning which so
much inquiry is now being made iu
connection with the anti.waste CAM
paign which is country wide at this
time.
The matter of blanching, cold dip
ping, preparation of jars, packing
sterilizing, sealing, etc. were all treat
ed extensively by Miss Sheridan, and
at several points in her remarks Glen
wood ladies were heard to remark:
"Ah there's where l made my mis-.
take"
After Miss Sheridan had given =
very clear demonstration to almost a
hundred ladies present in the morning
she invited al to return in the sftee-
noon and bring their own vegetables
which they might can under her super
vision. Many avaied themselves Of
this opportunity and thus the after
noon session was even more interest.
ing than the morning program.
Miss Sheridan explained that all
might have without cost copy of the
government canning bulletin, No. $40
by o. H. Benson, and she took the
names of all who wanted the bulletin
mailed to them.
Miss Sheridan urged that the direc-
tions of this bulletin be followed care
fully except that she cautioned that
the time tables be modified to fit this
altitude, and for that purpose she sug-
gested the following table for blanch-
ing and sterilizing:
Peas to 10 minutes. -. to 5
hours.
Beams to 10 minutes, 3 j.. hours.
Corn-5 to s minutes, AZ hours.
Tomatoes minute, 40 minutes,
Carrots minutes, 20 hours
Beets-5 to Is minut.s. 2M hours.
