Bullets From Machine Guns Gave Odd

It will be easily understood, writes
Mr.. c. G. Grey in "Tales of the Fly.
ing Service" that before a bullet hat
has been shot straight upward begins
to fall there must be a point where II
stands dead still, and that for the last
part of its upward path 1t travels very
slowly. One officer of my acquaint-
ance told me, after some months of
war, that his most curious experience
was when once, and once only, he dis
covered the exact extreme range point.
He was flying along quite peacefully
on a bright sunny morning at an alti-
tude of a little over 5000 feet, without
worrying about anything, when sudden
ly he saw something bright dart past
the side of the machine. He began to
look about him and saw, a shade be-
low him and a trihe to n side, n
whole stream of little bright things gilt
tering in the sun
Then he realized that he had just
struck a level that happened to be the
extreme vertical range of a machine
gun that was making %uncOmmonly
good shooting. Other bullets from
rifles and other machine guns also
flashed into view as he few along, and
when his eyes caught the right focus
he could follow the slow, topmOst part
of their movement for a considerable
distance. ut looked" he said, "just as
If 1t were raining upward" and the
phenomenon was so novel that he quite

Washington.-The Senate finance
committee reached a tentative agree
ment Saturday to revise the present
1870, 900, 900 war tax bill so as to
raise at least $1,943, 600, 900, the larger
part of the increase to come from high
err income taxes.
Members of the committee said it is
possible the total of the bill before 1t
gets to the Senate will be $4,000, 000,-
600. According to the present plan
about $3.50, O0O, 900 of the increase will
be obtained through higher income tax
rates-$7O,0O 0, 900 from individuals,
and the rest from corporations.
The committee fixed on an increase
in the normal rate on individuals from
two to five per cent. and on corpora
lions TO six per cent.
The rest of the increase may be OBJ
tanned by increasing the excess prof
its tax and by consumption taxes on
sugar. tea, coffee and cocoa.
Under the program $1,062, 200, 900
would be the total levy this year
upon incomes. The present law yields
$500, 900 900, the pending bill original
~ was designed to increase this by
$500, 700, 1000 and the $230,000,0 900 addi-
tional 1t is now proposed to levy
would raise it over the billion mark.
The Senate committee will confine
its work for the present to the pres
ent war tax bill and will leave to the
house the task of raising the rest Of
the $4,000, 200, 900 the administration
believes it must have to prosecute the
war this year.
C~onferees on the administration food
control bill failed Saturday night to
reach a final agreement on the meas
ure and adjourned to meet again.
Earlier in the day the conferees
smoothed out their differences on a
prohibition provision; agreed to the
section fixing a 50 minimum per bush
ell for wheat, and met again to con-
slider the two big points left in dis
pute, the question of whether food
control shall be exercised by n man
or a board of three, and the Senate
section creating a joint congressional
committee on the conduct of the war.
The prohibition provision approved
provides that thirty days after the
bill becomes law no person shall use
any foods, fruits, food materials OF
feeds in the production of any dis.
titled spirits for beverage purposes
with a separate stipulation that the
prohibition shall not apply to the for
t~ification of sweet wines.

State College.-The harvesting and
threshing of the wheat crop is in full
swing in Socorro county, according
to reports received from County Agent
II. p. Powers. The yield is unusually
good, with an average of about 31.5
bushels per acre, estimated. All
farmers propose to save their own
seed for spring planting. There is
very little winter wheat planted in
this section, owing to the shortage
of water in the winter. Beans are
being planted on the lands from
which the wheat is harvested. The
