WHAT CALDER OF GUN MEANS
Term as Applied to Artillery Is Cause
Of Confusion in the Popu-
lar Mind.

Confusion as to the meaning of the
term caliber arises chiefly from it's
use as an adjective to indicate length,
as when we say "a 50-caliber six-inch
gun" The word caliber, as applied to
artillery, signifies the diameter of the
bore of gun measured Numerically
from face to face of the bore, of course
somewhat larger.
A gun, then, of Six-inch caliber is a
gun whose bore is just six inches. For
convenience and because the power of
q gun when once its bore has been de-
eided upon depends so greatly upon its
length artillerists are in the habit of
defining the length of the gun in terms
of the cafiber-
Thus the I2-inch United States ma
val gum which is 40 feet in length, is
spoken of as Il 40-caliber 12-inch, the
length being just 40 times the bore.
The 6-inch rapid-fire gun is a tritle I'M
der % feet in length and is therefore
known as 50-ealiber gun.
In the ease of small arms the cali
Der is expressed in hundredths of AN
inch, as when we say Il 22-caliber re-
volver we mean one with bore that
has a diameter OF % of an inch.

FACTS ABOUT THE EARTH
Atmosphere Now Believed by Seien-
lists to- Have Three Fairly
Distinct Strata.

The earth's atmosphere is now be-
lieved to have three fairly distinct
strata. the first extending up to about
forty-ive miles, having nitrogen as the
leading constituent; the second, with
its upper limit at about 125' miles, be-
ing chiefly hydrogen, and the third,
at still greater height, consisting Of
very thin gas which has been named
"geOcoronium." Dr. Alfred Wegener
has attempted to explain the striking
differences of color in meteors or
shooting stars" and says that mete-
ors coming from outer space are not
sufficiently heated in the exceedingly
light gas to become luminous. Their
fall through the hydrogen layer causes
them to become incandescent, and be-
fore they reach the lowest stratum
most OF them are completely dissi-
pated. A few of the largest however
penetrate the nitrogen atmosphere,
very small number reaching the earth's
surface. 1t is found that the deep-fall-
ing meteOrs pass through three stages
of color, yellOw-white, green and deep
red and it is concluded that the green
is due to incandeScence Of the hydro
gen and the red to that of the nitrogen.
Only the first stage is seen in the
quickly dissipated meteors, the white,
yellow or sometimes reddishness be-
ing evidently the glow of the meteor
substance.

SERGEANT WELLS
CAPTURES CITY
MMAKES GREAT HIT WITH
TALKS, LECTURES AND
PICTURES

Sergeant Fred Wells has complete
ly captivated Moscow. His lecture at
the Strand last evening and his Won
derfully fine films aroused enthus-
iasm to a high pitch. His address to
the Red Cross women, his heart-to-
heart talk to the Greeks who had just
swung from the /. w. w. to the sup
port of Old Glory, and his affecting
talk to the Chamber Of Commerce,
and his all-around good fellowship
all have made deep impression on
the community. Lack of space
forbids a review of his lecture OF
his pictures Endorsed by the Canad-
IAN government, but nothing ap-
preaching them in the way of war
pictures have been seen in this city
before-they are the real thing and
that is just what the people are anx-
ious to see right now. There is a
world of information and much en-
tertainment in the lecture and pictur-
es of Sergeant Fred Wells. Incident
ally the sergeant was on the jump all
day and rendered valuable service in
the cause of enlistment.

Third Loan Payment Due

The third payment of 20 per cent on
liberty loan bonds purchased by in
stallments is due on July 30. The
payment must be made on or before
that date according to the official
statement of terms and conditions of
the sale of liberty loan bonds made
by Secretary McAdoo at the time sub
scriptions were invited.
Whether the bonds were purchased
from the treasury or the federal re-
serve banks or through other banks
or agencies, it is important that these
and succeeding installments be paid
promptly.
The action Of many employers OF
labor in arranging to pay their en-
ployes on July 80 instead of August
/, in order to enable them 10 promptly
make their payments on liberty loan
bonds, is an excellent and patriotic
example which no doubt will be fol
lowed by large number of employers.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM

1t is the minimum price OF wheat that is to be
fixed by the food bill in its last stages of doctor
ing in Washington Under it's provisions the farmer is
market.
There is nothing in the bill to prevent the price
of wheat from going to $40 bushel if the manipu-
zators can put it there, nothing except the anti
boarding clause.
This is the difference between maximum and
MINIMUM the top and the bottom. The farmer is to
be protected by bottom price which is right; but
the consumer is left unprotected against top price
which is wrong.
1t is but another illustration of the wonderful
times in which live 1t is silly to talk about "busi
ness usual" under these abnormal conditions. The
fact that the minimum price of wheat is fixed at
$500 bushel is proof that the European nations
at with Germany stand ready to take every
bushel this nation spare at that price The same
will be of other staplesthe allied nations abroad
plus at fixed price and high price at that.
This is contrary every idea this country has
entertained Of open competition. The minimum pro-
tects the producer but it leaves the consumer fully
exposed The rapacty and greed of the speculator
the manipulation and the dealer without conscience
Under such circumstances it is not strange that
the demand for government control grows more in
sistent each day.

think of turning one of her own books
in such fashion? Did you ever know
a boy who would leave borrowed BIZ
cycle standing out in the damp, though
he was very particular about his own
things? 1t is pity that little folks
full of what belongs to someone else
than of what is their own.

WHY HOOVER is KNOCKED

To those good people who have been wonderin
why all this opposition has sprung up against Herbe1
c. Hoover IS food administrator perhaps the follow
ing extract from his statement before the sen
ate committee may furnish key:
"Barley mixed in the bread makes bread
which has fine texture as wheat And would
enable to release just exactly that quantity
the barley-the total barley used in brewing-to
account for the malt which is given back to the
feed but then there is a large margin of
saving if the brewing could be cut out. . The
fodder and the intake of the breweries in grains
just that much more foodstuffs to our al
les... We could from fifty to sixty mil
lion bushels of grain on the brewing side after
having allowed for the fodder proposition, and
that grain is of utmost value to allies"
One of the most depressing factors in the whole
situation the country is the prominent part dirty
little, selfish considerations are playing in public
affairs
1t is common knowledge that the food control bill
has been blocked for weeks in congress by the booze
makers; and the fear is general that the law, when
it finally escapes and gets through will be distorted and
emasculaed in such way to be lame and ineffective

pan today shows figure that is as
perfectly nodded and of as true pro-
portion as the woman of ancient
Greece was able to display. Consump-
ton is a rare disease in Japan; even
winter coughs are of rare occurrence.
The Japanese woman is taught from
earliest childhood that life is impOs-
sible without sufficient supply Of
fresh air. This internal cleansing with
fresh air is deemed of more Importance
than the bath that usually follows it.

The boys in khaki who are going
to France are not the only ones who
are helping win the great world war
in the interests of humanity and de-
mocracy. All over these United
States there is a larger army made
up OF boys and girls, each one of
whom is doing his "bit". In no state
can there be found more patriotic
young people than in Idaho. Many of
them have enlisted in the Boys and
Girls Club work, as conducted in Ida
mo jointly by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and the University of Ida
no Extension Division. These club
members are caring for their war
gardens, their acres of corn, and their
potato plots. They are growing pigs
and poultry to increase the meat sup
ply Of the nation. The girls are not
only growing gardens, but are can
ming and drying fruits and vegetables
so that no food will be wasted. All
are contributing their mite" to the
end that our soldier boys and our al
lies may have ample food supplies
while on the front.
A Baby Bond Prize
The boy Or girl in Idaho who ac-
rcomplishes the best results in this
worthy work will be especially re-
warded. The Director of Extension
and the Idaho State Club leaders have
purchased baby Liberty Bond,
which will be given to some boy, or
girl in the state .on the following
basis of award:
Largest amount of food produced or
conserved 40 per cent
Greatest net profit 49,. 20 per cent
Highest percentage of
profit .-... 20 per cent
Report and story --.......--. 20 per cent
100 per cent
The club member who wins this
Liberty Bond will be known as the
State Club Champion Of Idaho in
food production and saving.
All Doing Good Work
The Idaho workers do not need this |
special inducement to encourage
them to do good work. The club
members are valiantly putting forth
every effort to grow the largest
amount of food possible, and the
highest reward that can come to them
is the consciousness of having done
their patriotic duty in this time of
their country's need. However, the
boy or girl, who thru hard work and
good management is able to show the
best results, is deserving of special
recognition, and this recognition the
n embers of the Extension Club staff
lesire to give.
