When the magazine rife suppressed
ed the single~shot rife, the type of
woven belts used was found to be no
longer serviceable, as the ammuni-
ton was carried In clips The arany
however, attacked the new problem
and began experimenting with the
woven pocket forming part Of the
belt. This presented many difficul-
ties. If the pocket were merely sewed
to tho belt there was the ever-present
risk of the stitching giving way. In
which event the contents would be
lost. AT last they succeeded in weav-
ing the pocket and the belt in a.
single piece.
The idea was presented to the
British army on the outbreak of the
I Boer war. That army, however. had
been firmly welded to the leather
! equipment, and as the web belts

the recognition which 1t deserved.
| Ultimately the value of the web

| the firm operating closely with the
| patentees to one common end.
| The very much larger ammunition
| carrying capacity of the web belt
| over the leather cartridge equipment,
: together with the fire control of the
| British army, has enabled it to per-
| form a more vital role in beating off
| the enemy than is realized This was
demonstrated in the open fighting in
| the early days of the war, particn~
| larry on the retreat from Mons The
large number of cartridges carried by
! the British soldier. coupled with the
cheap cotton supplementary bando-
| leer system of renewing his supply OF
ammunition, served to counter-hal-
ance the enormous numerical super
iority of the German troops.
The German leather equipment
provides a. total of 12o cartridges. At
his belt in front are two pouches.
each containing IS rounds, while a
reserve OF 80 rounds IS carried in his
knapsack. This last feature is very
weak, tnasmuch as valuable time Is
lost in securing this reserve at a crit
ical moment.
The British soldier, on the other
hand. carries $50 rounds in two sets
of five l5-round carriers disposed in
two tiers on either side Just above his
belt, and a further 100 rounds Is IN
the emergency bandoleer, which is
likewise convenient to hand, being
thrown across his chest.

and together they made a crude de-
vice for accom- plishing it, 1t was
necessary, however, to have q power
loom if the idea was to be made prac-
teal, but for a long time Mills could
find no one who would undertake to
build such a machine, He finally
reached George Crompton of Worces-
ter. Mass, who encouraged him in
the belief that the machine could be
built. Being in i'll health and about
to retire from business MI Cronpton
suggested Charles w. Gilbert, a build
er of carpet looms who agreed to
build loom for Mills. On its COM
pletion the thing stuck and halted
and finally Mills obtained furlough,
went to Worcester, and with some of
Gilbert's mechanics, he put the loom
through.
It was a success, and from the
first it wove the loop on the body of
the belt as Mills had outlined it, The
first loom was a small machine, but
it did the work as good as the more
recent machines of greater capacity,
which are the outgrowth of Mills
original loom.
Tests with this belt have conclu-
sively established it's ammunition

was adopted as the regulation equip
ment Of the United States army and
in it's various improved forms has
been the service equipment ever
since.
AS greater rapidity of fire was
gained through the adoption of the
magazine rifle it became necessary to
increase the number of cartridges to
be carried. This has been one Of the
factors in choosing a. lightweight
bullet that would need less powder
behind It to obtain the requisite ener-
gy This in turn meant lighter am
munition and as a result more of 1t
could be carried.
In the Spanish-American war the
American troops used the old single
shot Springfield rifle, the cartridge for
which was about one-third heavier
than the present 3o-caHber 1908 rim
less cartridge. As the caltber of the
cartridge underwent reductions in
weight through successive improve
ments in both rifle and ammunition 1t
became practical to carry a greater
amount of ammunition about the per-
son of the soldier.
To meet this new development a
woven belt with double row of
loops, one on top OF the other, was
invented, which Increased the SOL
dier's supply of ammunition from 30
to so rounds

The Law and The Name.

The name of the new table luxury
which bids fair to replace dairy but
ter in many thousands of families is
BENEFIT Brand sweet Nut, but the
law passed before 1T was invented, re-
quires that the word "oleomargarne"
be placed on every package Such is
the law, but in point of fact the new
table luxury is very different from or
binary oleomargarine. In the first
place, it contains no animal fats or
preservatives of any kind except nigh
grade salt. 1t is amde entirely from
appetizing natural foods we especially
like to eat. The crisp, white meat of
the cocoanut and pasteurized milk are
inviting ingreditnts. In the second
place, you cannot distinguish it when
served from the best creamery butter.

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council Of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
HOW ALASKA SCOUTS

To be apportioned $4,000 In Lib
.rty loan campaign and to wind up
the drive with $4,000 Is a pretty big
record. Yet there's scout troop
which did this very thing. Up in Fair
banks, Alaska, it wasn't pleasant
weather when the last Liberty loan
campaign began. Trails We're almost
impossible, and driving storms ard
bitter winds came every day.
But the troop in Fairbanks came for
ward 100 per cent strong. There were
35 boys in Troop No. l and their ap-
portionment for the campaign was first
put ut $4,000. A huge clock was
made to indicate their progress.
But on the very first day they
"busted" the clock, for they obtained
subscriptions amounting TO more than
double that amount. Then the clock
was put at 100000. Local Liberty loan
officials We're positive the troop could
60 no farther by hook or crock But
the end of the campaign saw them, not
al $4,000 but at $67 100 which repre-
sented half the total subscriptions OBJ
tanned in the whole district And 1t
was really $3.50, 100, if we count $1,000
subscription one man asked to be al
lowed to make in recognition of the!r
work.

BEAUTY OF SCOUT SCHEME.

The wider your range of interest the
greater is your capability for enjoy
r1ent, says Scout Commissioner Dan
Beard.
Put in another way, the more things
that interest you the more fun you
have. And to that may be added, the
more things you enjoy the more alive
you are.
If fellow loves woodcraft, ath'
letics, sailing canoeing, natural his
tory. botany, fresh air, mountains and
streams, he is alive to all these things
and he has more sources for fun, en-
joyment or pleasure than other fel
lows.
Now, then, the beauty of the scou,
scheme is that regular Teller" among
the scouts is Il live wire and can have
n good time wherever you place him
That. for Instance, is the reason the
old scouts of the Camp Fire Club OF
America enjoy themselves so much
and have such bully times.
