NEW AIRPLANE BULLET

Washington.-Th war department
authorizes the following:
The present war brought forth a
new kind Of ammunition for airplane
use In the form Of special cartridges
containing bullets for armor-piercing,
tracing, and incendiary purposes;
With the progress Of the war the
more vital parts OF the airplane were
protected with light armor, SO that 1t
became necessary to Introduce the ar
mor-piercing bullet.
AS the gasoline tanks were papticu-
larly susceptible to incendiary explo-
sion, IL was necessary to procure q
bullet containing an inflammable SUBJ
stance, ignited upon discharge, which
would carry the spark Of flame into
the tank upon piercing It.
As the target, the eEemy airplane,
was within fighting range for only
bF5af moments at time, and as there
were no means of determining the fire
effect as on lind. q tracer bullet con-
taining q bright-burning composition,

bullet. in daylight as well as in dark
ness, and thereby allow the aim Of the
machine gun to be corrected, was in
troduced.
At the outbreak Of the war, further
Information was promptly gathered
from the allies and this subject was
studied by those responsible for this
work In the United States. OF course,
on account Of the difficulties Of the
problem, none of the special bullets
possessed by any country Is entirely
satisfactory or what might be termed
perfect" in operation.
Tho bullets developed by the United
States ordnance department have been
tested on land and from airplanes to
see If there is any difference In their
performance when fired from quickly
moving airplane in the upper atmos-
phere and when fired on land.
These tests indicate that the United
States has developed class of special
cartridges with a performance fully
equal to or surprising that attained
abroad.

AIDING the Labor Supply.

The departments Of agriculture and
labor through representatives Of the
various states cooperating with the
agricultural colleges and other agen-
cies are doing the following things to
aid the farm labor supply, according
to a recent statement Of Secretary
Houston: (a) Making survey Of the
farm-labor situation in each COM
munity with a view to discovering
possible SURPRISES Of labor in order to
be ready to assist in furnishing labor
wherever it is needed; (b) assisting
again In shifting labor from COM
munity to community and from state
to state, as in past years; (c) pro-
noting fuller cooperation among
farmers in the same community; (d)
making available. so far as possible,
high school boys in rural districts who
have had experience in farming and
who are not normally regularly or
fully employed in farming operations;
(e) making every effort to see that
there is no obstacle in the way Of the
production of a larger supply Of farm
machinery and its fuller use as a
supplement to hand labor.

seWho Cares II Bones Ache IN

Thousands Of women in all parts Of
the country are volunteering to help
out on farms that will be short Of
man power this season. The letter
which follows is typical of many
which are coming to the United
States department Of agriculture. De-
partment officials do not believe that
women will be required in the heavier
farming operations, but in the lighter
labor on fruit and truck farms and in
helping farm women with their tasks
there will be work for women hands.
II want to inquire where I can vol
unteer my services in the agricultural
labor for my country's service. I
know this work is just as important
as fighting. and as I was raised in the
country and can drive a horse and am
familiar with all the rounds Of farm
life, I feel would soon qualify. My
husband is now doing his bit aboard
a transport.
Napoleon is quoted as saying, "A
man fights on his stomach so would
like to work to enable our men to be-
come good fighters. The German Bis
marck in his world plans once said:
America is fine fat pig to be stuck

I would even enjoy helping raise some
American fat pigs to defeat them in

for Each Unit.
preliminary TRAINING

II 1t becomes necessary in
case OF an acute farm labor
stringency to accept woman vol
unteers for farming operations
othen than the lighter ones to
which they are accustomed, some
sort Of preliminary training will
be necessary to utilize the large
class of woman volunteers from
the cities who are unfamiliar
with farm work. This article
points out some suggestions and
precautions that should be tax
en- into consideration in prepar-
ing women for these tasks. The
suggestions given here have been
obtained in a study Of this prob
lem by specialists Of the United
States department Of agricul-
ture, both in this country and
in other countries. Many Of the
suggestions are based on the ex-
periences Of England, which has
= trained and is using 100000
women on farms.
The Dolores star., 1918-04-05


at least sufficient skill to be acceptable
to the farmer.
Ascertain II Needed.
Before training the volunteers some
method should be devised for ascer-
tanning whether there Is q demand for
the woman workers in the kind Of
work they are preparing to undertake.
This information could be obtained
from the state agricultural college and
the state farm help specialist en-
ployed by this department. Great
care should be exercised not to pre-
pare women to 60 on farms before
there Is an actual demand for their
labor.
After completing the training, the
women should not be sent into the
localities where they are TO work until
some one has preceded them to make
arrangements for their housing and
to determine the basis Of wages, etc.
In most instances the living quarters
would consist Of camping outfit, as
such quarters as they might obtain in
the community would be the least de-
sirable Of those in the community.
Generally 1t would be desirable to have
one person in the group who would do
no farm work, but would act as gen.
eral chaperon and matron and would
see to the domestic phases Of their
living and welfare.
The Dolores star., 1918-04-05

Women should not be trained to go
on farms before there Is an actual
and imperative need for their services.
The department of agriculture hopes
that it will not be necessary to employ
women in heavier lines of farm work
than they have been accustomed to
doing. II, to save the food harvest,
women are needed In the heavier
operations and the development and
training of unskilled woman workers
appears advisable, the following points
should be taken into consideration:
No woman should be accepted who
is not at least eighteen years Of age.
The wisest policy would be first to
register those women who are willing
to undertake this kind Of work, having
them indicate their previous training
and experience, kind Of farm work
they desire to take up, and length Of
time they can devote to it.
Two Weeks Training.
Before going on the farm, the
women should If possible undertake
course Of training extended over two
weeks or more under skilled instruc-
tor. This course might be given at an
agricultural or a woman's college, agri-
cultural schools, or on a farm donated
by some patriotic individual as prac-
tice farm. In some instances the
course might be under the auspices
of the extension division Of the agri-
cultural college. Care should be taken
that no institutions are built up to
perform functions that might be per-
formed by institutions already in
! existence.
This two weeks Of training would
give opportunity to eliminate those
not physically able to endure farm
labor, and also those whose mental
| makeup Is such as to make them
unavailable. It would also give them
sufficient skill so that they would be
acceptable to the farmers. Such ex-
perience in obtaining woman laborers
as has been had indicates that the
farmer usually is not willing to take
woman farm workers into his home,
| and therefore the women will have to
be organized in units and provide for
their own living quarters. This fact
restricts the types of farm enterprises
in which the women will be able to
engage to such as are very. intensive
in character, and highly localized.
The types of farm enterprises of this
kind would be such crops as apples,
peaches, grapes, onions, cabbage, pota-
toes, strawberries, etc. The training
should be such that when the women
went to the farmers they would have

QUESTIONS FOR LABOR TO AN.
&wER

In an appeal to the labor unions Of
the country to refuse to longer he the
catspaw Of the liquor industry when
labor circles are in reality largely dry,
Charles Stelze says: "Shall the trades
unions be made the scapegoat for an
evil which 1t is sought to continue,
against the best judgment of increas-
Ing numbers Of workingmen7 Shall
future generations hold 1t against or
ganized labor that. in the twentieth
century. it allied itself with those who
stood for sin and the debauchery of
the saloon? Shall the saloon DOM
inate the labor movement when every
other decent organization and institu-
ton is breaking loose from its power?
These are questions which labor must
answer, and answer SO emphatically
that no one can mistake the real at
titude Of the trades unions"
