Napoleon's Cannon.

Machinlsts who made war NUM-
lions in the time Of Napoleon I had no
such equipment and tools as those Of
the present day process.
According 10 an Old-time sketch
brought TO light recently, cannon were
bored by means of wooden lathe
driven by horse power.
The horse Travelled in a circle In the
lower part of a building, turning n
prodlgiOus axle, to the upper end Of
which crude but huge gear wheel
was attached. This propelled a smaller
plnion mounted nenr It's periphery and
the pinlon in turn revolved a chuck N
which one end Of the cannon was at
tached.
The boring tool was advanced BY .
man operating a hand wheel at the
far end Of a machine.
Another hand wheel on a small
travelling cur about the lathe lowered
the cannon into place or removed Il
when mRchined.

|NTERURBAN FROM
BAXTER To P|CHER
Southwestern Missouri Railroad
Company Decides to Ex-
tend Line. Road to
Be Ready by
October

The extension Of the interurban
line from Baxter Springs to Pitcher
was announced last week by A,
H. Rogers, the president Of the
Southwest Missouri Railroad
company.
The extension Of the company's
line Is now being made from Mis-
souri, state line to Baxter Springs,
The decision to establish q
through service to Pitcher has
been reached and the time of its
construction depends upon the
securing of the right of way.
No survey has yet been made for
the extension.
The Pitcher extension will enable
q one to ride from Carthage to
Miami, a distance of nearly go
miles. The Baxter Springs-Picher
line will be over country well
adapted to the building Of rail-
roads. This condition will make
the construction comparatively
easy. When the extension Of
the line from this city to Picher
is started It is believed that it
will be finished as soon as the
Galena to Baxter line is COM
pleted. This is due to the fact
that between the two latter
cities streams must be bridged
and other costly constructions
made.

Veterans in Tribute 10
Departed
CEREMONIES At Graves:
PARADE This Afternoon

Wilmingtonians today are honoring
the memory Of veterans of the Civil
War who have passed away and show
ing respect to the living heroes who
participated in that great struggle.
Many industrial establishments closed
down for the entire day, while some
worked half the day. There was a
general holiday appearance about the
city. and the feeling of reverence for
the men Of '61-'65 was tinctured with
somewhat depressing realization Of
the mOmentous world crisis in which
this country is now a participant and
in which its sons soon may face shot
and shell on the battlefields Of Europe.
Baseball games morning and ar
ternoon, the formal opening OF pleas
ure parks, and automobile races at
Wawaset park this afternoon were on
the days program, but the formal
observance Of honoring the memory
Of the departed and OF showing es-
TEEN to the living veterans was Of
greatest interest TO a great part Of
the city's population.
Squads Fire Salutes.
During the morning firing squads
visited the cemeteries Of Wilmington
and vicinity and fired salutes over
the graves of the heroes who fell in
war and in peace. The G. A. r. and

Licenses
ONLY FOR Dealers
Judge Finger Clears Up One
Point Under City Auto
Law
DONOVAN GUILTY;
PAYS COSTS OF CASE

Automobile owners cannot operate
their machines under a dealers IL
cense, even though granted one by
the Secretary of state. unless they
are absolutely bona-fde dealers in
machines and have garages where
such business is conducted, accord
ing to decision handed down in Mu-
nicipal Court today by Deputy Judge
Aaron Finger, in a test case brought
by the city against Charles E. Dono-
van. The court holds that il makes
no difference whether the case was
prosecuted under the old or under
the new automobile Jaw; a dealers
license can be used only by a bona
fide dealer in automobiles
1t seems that soon after the amend
ment made TO the auto law by the
last Legislature became effective. the
city authorities began prosecuting
some autoists not in the business,
of using dealers licenses. Mr.. Dono-
van. who conducts a store at Eighth
and Jefferson streets. was arrested
charged with operating his machine
with a dealers license issued by the
Secretary of State. instead Of the
regular operators license.
! His defense was first that he
bought machines, used them awhile
and then sold them and bought new
! one and second. that since the Secre
/ tary OF State had issued him a deal
ers license. he was entitled to oper
ate his machine under that license
/ But Judge Finger ruled that neither
/ defense was tenable. that the only per
sons who can operate under a dealers
/ license are manufacturers and bona
I fide dealers. the latter being those
who are in the business Of buying and
, selling automobiles as their business
and who maintain garages for thai
/ purpose.
The effect Of the decision is to en-
abb the city authorities TO prosecute
all auto owners, not dealers or manu-
facurers. who are operating under ;
dealers license. The court held Mr.
Donovan guilty Of violating the autC
law but ruled that as this was a tes
case, the defendant should not be
fined but should pay the costs Of tn
