MOST DEADLY AERIAL BOMB
Will Explode Six Feet Above Ground, No Matter From What Height
 1t May Be Dropped.

An aerial bomb which explodes about six feet above the ground, re- gardless of the height from which it Is dropped, has been tested out by the ordnance department, and probably will be manufactured in large numbers.
 The novel feature of the bomb, which is described in Popular Science, Monthly, is that it explodes before it hits the ground, whether 1t is dropped from height of 2,000 or 10000 feet. The difficulty with bombs used is that they have been fired by contact with the ground, burying themselves in the earth before exploding. Thus 90 per cent of the force of a bomb dropped on ordinary ground is expended against earth, instead of scattering it's frag- ments over q wide area above ground.
 Inventors have been aware of this de- ficiency of the pear-shaped bomb for a long time The idea uppermost in their minds has been to develop bomb that would explode head high and whose bursting fragments would cover wide circle before reaching the ground. So far as is known, no foreign country has such a bomb in it's possession. The bomb which comes closest to realizing the maximum of efficiency, as the ordnance department interprets that term, is this bomb, devised by Mir. Barlow.

daughters may take courses in cook ing, sewing and other domestic branches; it employs it's own staff of surgeons, physicians, oculists and den- lists, who attend to the wants of the members free of any charges save per haps for the material used in filling teeth or the lenses prescribed for the correction or aid of sight; it also maintains it's own hospital, a sanitari- um for consumptives, and an asylum for the insane. All these advantages belong to each and every member, not as matter of charity but as a matter of right. He pays his dues of $1.50 month and thereby becomes part her in the organization, and is entitled to any of these privileges he desires.
 These mutual aid and benefit fea- lures are not peculiar to the "Centro de Dependencies" alone; several of the other "centros" have practically the same features. Of all of them, the "CentrO Gallego" is the largest and wealthiest. Ii has a membership Of A GOO, an annual income of over ST. ObU,OOO, duu 1S nOuStu III Il Idlalioi structure that cost over $1,0O0,000. The second largest is the "Centro As turiano," which has a membership of 37000, composed chiefly of Spaniards4 but with q considerable Cuban con tingent that is also represented on the governing board. It has one of the handsomest buildings in Havana for its home, covering an entire square and including one of the best theaters in the city. Some of the "centros," such as the "Balear" and "Castellano," admit women as we'll as men to mem- bership and for an additional fee of 50 cents a month give medical aid to other members of the family of a member. Although the medical serv- ices rendered are the chief attractions of these latter institutions, they also have a clubhouse in addition to the sanitarium.
 In addition to the "centros," Havana has large number of other clubs that differ in no material respect from the typical social, athletic and political clubs of other large cities. For the sake of convenience these may be di- vided into city and country clubs. Among the former the foreign clubs occupy an important position, and of these the Spanish Casino is the iarg- est; second comes the American club, founded in 1902, which has steadily grown in membership until it has something over 300. It occupies a well-appointed building on the Prado, Havana's beautiful boulevard, and has all the typical modern club fea- lures that are found in similar social organizations in the United States. Among other foreign clubs are two Chinese, which include in their mem bership the important persons of that race.
 Of the strictly social clubs, the old est and most exclusive is the Union club, a Cuban organization, which Is restricted to men only and to whose functions the ladies are never invited.

GRAND RAPIDS
AWAkENS
From Stevens Point Journal

From Stevens Point Journal
Grand Rapids, according to the
published reports, is awakening to
the local need of moral reform in some
lines, not only in regard to enforce
ment of the laws regulating saloons.
1t is pointed out that one saloon there
is operating without license, that a
couple of places, at least, are being
run in a highly improper manner and
that the partial Sunday opening al
lowed by the officials is really vio-
lation of the law and an incentive to
other violations.
The Grand Rapids Reporter in an
able editorial Dec 10, discussed the
subject and also the general fact of
the badly conducted saloon being a
prime cause of the growing public OPP
position in America to the liquor trade
in general 1t is to be hoped that the
movement will bear substantial fruit
in Grand Rapids and Wood county and
that better conditions will result.
At the same time the Journal feels
bound to remind Stevens Point people
that there is still need of improve
ment here. One source of supply for
posted men has disappeared through
natural causes but some other places
inside and near the city need attention.
It is to be regretted that a sustained,
bona fde, general movement to up
hold the laws with greater strictness
here is not being carried on. The
Journal and all good citizens will stand
by any real efforts for betterment
and only ask that definite comprehen-
sive efforts be made and prosecutions
pushed to definite results.

Today's efforts create tomorrow's
privileges, and today's labors give US
benefits. even more than we had hop
ed for.
Stronger tests are applied to US
from day to day, and rest and labor
combine to give Us strength for the
future.
We need the experiences of life, the
trials and perplexities, to better fit
US for the bigger things we must do
Association and utilization in Church
es gives US wider view, better under
standing, larger purposes, stronger
possibilities.
We go from strength to strength
| by gaining the best ideals by learning
what we believe, by understanding
how to help and what to do.
Every Sunday is a breathing spot
in the toilsome journey from need tc
need; each Sunday being the period il
which we are privileged to reflect or
the past six days and be better pre-
pared for the future.
Thus Life not only offers work, but
inspiration and reward!
Going serenely through the years
going slowly from one strength-giv.
ing accomplishment to another, gives
poise and stability.
In tomorrow's services we have the
privilege of association with those Of
similar intent and purpose.

if we make it replete with the advan
tages of accommodating knowledge anc

the first of the year for Eau Claire
where he will enter the employ of his
cousin Guy R. Wood, manager of the
Tanberg Auto Co., of Eau Claire, who

SUBSCRIPTIONS
IN ADVANCE

On account of the high cost of ev-
erything in the production of a news
paper including the cost of the print
paper, all newspapers of the country
are obliged to get down to the "cash
in advance" principle. Everything
that enters into the newspaper bust
ness including the job work, the raw
material has risen from 25 to 200 per
cent. To make the most of the cir
cumstances, a cash business is obi
gatory, therefore, all weekly subscrip-
tions that are not paid for 1917, will
be discontinued until they are.

ENLARGE
MENT AND
ADVANCEMENT

1t is easy to understand the need for
the Christian Sabbath; it is a rest pc
Rod; a refreshment time; a changed
outlook!
Six days to making a living-one
day to making life; six days of la
Dor which fits US for one day of rest;
sixe days of effort; six days of necess-
ity; six days of planning and toiling-
and the seventh day an opportunity, a
privilege, a benefit.
We need the Rest Day if we have la
bored faithfully, and we need the UP
lift of Church utilization for its siren
gthening power.
How can we enjoy the work of the
week if we fail to properly rest on the
day which the Lord has "sanctifed
and hallowed?"
And the Sabbath Days rest gives
US the opportunity for study of a bet
ter method of living so that we may
better enjoy the Life.
Forward movements require thought
and preparation; we cannot lift life
to a higher plane if we have not the
solid foundation.
How can we accomplish much I'M
less we are willing to do much?
