YES! LIFT A CORN

Cincinnati authority tells how to dry

You corn-pestcred men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority, be-
cause II few drops of freezone APP
piled directly OH tender, aching
corn or callus, stops soreness at once
and soon the corn or hardened callus
looscns SO it can be lifted out, root
and all, without pain.
A small bottle of frcczone cost
very little ut any drug store, but
will positively take off every hard or
soft corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
not to irritatc the surrounding skin.
IF your druggist hasn't anv freezone
tell him to get Il small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
time.

The Mathematics Of It.

The mathematics OF It.
"Now, what the Germans had done
was this. They erected n series OF
gauze screens-at least three-between
US and n battery which we were ac-
customed to she'll To hit the target
our shells must pass through these
screens. Electrical timing devices indi-
cated the length of time tho projectile
required to travel between the screens,
and of course the distance was already
known.
'1This gave the Germans the velocity
OF the shell when 1t reached the screen.
The holes 1t made In the screens gave
them three or more points In the curve.
This enabled them to plot n section of
the curve. They could tell from the
explosion the size. of the shell approx
mately. This would enable them to
know the velocity with which the shell
would leave the gun.
with these elements-a section of
the trajectory, the velocity Of the shell
when It reached the screens and n
knowledge OF the initial velocity OF q
certain sized shell-they had more than
uath " hSoio OuC tNutti9
where the projectile came from.
"In fact, they could check themselves
on 1t, because they could plot the whole
curve from the section they had with
their knowledge OF the velocity, and
they could figure the straight distance
from the velocity Of the shell when II
reached the screens and the velocity
they knew 1t must have when 1t left
| the muzZle OF the cannon on board the
monitor.
"The best proof that the system
worked was the fact that, no matter
where we moved to, their shots strad
died us, and besides the one which
came on board US ono OF our other
ships got n shell In the boiler room"
Well, somebody's always taking tho

The British government prefers to
keep his name secret for the present,
80 It would not be policy for me to
divulge 1t. When he put the idea up
to the commander of the base he said
right away:
II don't want to lose more than six
boats. If you can get six crews to
volunteer for the service 60 ahead. l
won't order anybody OH raid like

Six times six crews volunteered, but
only six were allowed to go. We

the tide conditions to a nicely, and ON
this particular night we were having
the fullest high water of the autumn.
Just before we ran into the mine fields
we passed British monitor, about
which I will have more to say later,
and then began the real work of the
expedition.
AS every one knows, some mines are
set SO that they rise and fall with the
tide and remain always a certain dis
lance below the surface OF the water,
and IL we didn't hit one of these 1t

There were thousands of mines all
