TO CONCEAL FLASH or GUNS
Efforts Of Military Men Of All coun-
tries Have Lone Been Bent In
That Direction.

Both the French and the German
armies have been trying for years to
discover how to mike gun that shall
be not merely noiselcss, but that shall
emit no flash. For, as Nicolas Flannel
says In La Nature. after dark two OBJ
servers by watching the time can with
accurate chronometers having lunh-
nous dlals discover precisely the posi-
ton Of an enemy battery or three OBJ
servers, regardless of time, can do the
same by grouping their observations.
And this merely by tile flash Of the
guns.
German inventors succeeded by add
Ing q minute quantity Of alkaline salts
TO their powder In diminishing the
flash, but they found that in proportion
as they suppressed the flash they In
creased the smoke. Other substances
added to the powder for this purpose
have been vaseIine, alkaline soaps,
oxalates and reslnates OF soda, barium
and aluminium. None was successful.
The French tackled the problem as a
mechanical rather than u chemical
one. A gun is really only an explosion
motor and 1t seemed that there ought
to be way Of muffiing its sounds and
its fash as those Of other such motors
are muftied. 1t was not until 1900,
when Maxim invented his sIIencer,
that the problem seemed on the way
to solution. Many other silencers,
most Of which quench much OF the
light as well AS the sound, have been
invented since then. but none Is prac-
teal success Ia warfare either from
the point Of view Of sound or Of light.

TAKING LIQUOR OUT OF POLITICS

WE ARE apparently about to see ma.
w tional party which has maintained or
ganization since 1872 go out of existence.
The Prohibition amendment. passed by the
Senate and doubtless to be passed by the
House. when once referred to the States
will relieve about 100000 conscience
voters" of the necessity of nominating
presidential and congressional candidates.
There can be no excuse for demanding a
Prohibition administration when the Gov.
ernment has granted the supreme request
of the Prohibition party--the submission
Of the Eighteenth Amendment" Prohibi-
tionists will thus be enabled to have
effectual opinions on great national issues
as members Of the Republican and Demo.
cratic parties, an invigorating gain for
responsible citizenship In general, nota-
bly, clarifying the political thought of the
nation.
Congress was never the proper place
for the Prohibition propaganda. Moth
ing that was ever said in either chamber
about temperance or abstinence could
affect the moral tone of the nation. If
the amendment had been passed forty
five years ago, with an indefinite time for
ratification, we would be no nearer or
farther from national prohibition than
we are as things turned out. The Prohibi-
tionists simply used politics as a form OF
advertisement. They put the average
voter in the position of voting for liquor,
and. while most men continued 30 vote
for liquor, they could not go on doing so
without considering whether or not they
should drink as much of it as before.
Prohibition arguments awoke employers
to the realization that sober employees
were the best kind to have. Thus the
"drys" were gaining social victories while
suffering political defeats-the victories
that count most.
No friend of temperance can regret
however, that this tempting form of ad-
vertisement has been frustrated by its
own success. The Prohibitionists are
driving themselves out or congressional
affairs. and must now put their whole
effort where 1t should always have been
exerted, In social education and loca
democratic legislation to give naturally
dry" communities the right to be really
dry" Already there are signs that they
see the change, as, for example, the
81, ,0oO,00O advertising campaign proposed
by the Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America. We can expect tc
see much better work done for temper
ance, now that Prohibitionists need nc
longer be the allies of politicians who
don't care q snap of their fingers abou,
the moral questions involved, and whose
work for the drys" has often done more
to becloud and delay the settlement ol
the issue than TO advance 1t.

potash that what little has been done IN
