VALUE OF CORN OIL.

~ORN oil Is the newest product of
" corn and is now recommended as
substitute for lard and other fats
as measure Of wartime conserya-
tion.
The food administration has asked
that vegetable oils be used to save
fats" said NJ E. Landauer of the corn
division. United States Food Admin
tstration. II do not know of any
vegetable oil that I can recommend
more highly than corn oil. 1t Is
pressed from corn hearts and refined
to an edible oil of enormously high
shortening value. Comparative tests
have been made of its use in place of
butter, lard, olive oil or shortening
compounds. These tests have proved
that 1t makes more digestible, more
economical and much richer foods
than any other cooking product. The
analysis from a nutritive standpoint
demonstrates that it combines more
nourishing qualities than butter or
any other fat.
Corn oil is much cheaper than lard,
about one-third as cheap as good but
ter and about one-half the price of
olive oil in normal times. Because of
Its richness only two-thirds as much
corn oil is used for shortening as
would be used of butter or lard.
For deep frying corn oil can be
used over and over again. as it does
not absorb the odor of foods cooked

acquire more mechanical skill. A boy
can keep up his studies for four
years and receive a good mechanical
education, all the while being paid

The army of machinists is numbered

single shops which cover acres, and
each of which If it were off by itself

acres of room devoted to the making
Of bayonets, other acres devoted to

of great forges in which the steel is
pounded and kneaded into the right

machinery for making firearms. The
shops cover four or five times as
much ground as the National Capitol
at Washington. and / am told that it
is a ten-mile journey to go over them

glass. 1t took a solid acre Of wire
glass to equip them and more than
ten tons of putty to hold in the panes.

plane and make 1t rain death on the
enemy.
The working of this machine gun is
almost perfection. The one I fred
was the first Browning ever made
with machine tools. 1t was tested o..
March 10, when it fred only one sho
and then stopped. 1t was then taken
away and the defect discovered and
tested again, and since that time it
has shot 6,394 cartridges, including
the 500 shot today, without one sim
gle misfire. These shots were made
by a large number of different people
who have visited the factory to test
the gun. I understand that the same
percentage of efficiency has been
shown in the other Brownings SO far
made. In the government tests one
gun fired 10000 shots in 4S minutes
This gun was the heavy Browning.
1t weighs about thirty-four pounds
when ready for action, and with the
tripod little less than fifty pounds.
SO that 1t can be easily moved about

to be used from the trenches or at
any place where it can be put on the
tripod or have support
~
In addition to this we have the
light Browning automatic rifle. which
is air-cooled. and weighs only fifteen
pounds. This is fed by clips. each of
which contains twenty cartridges. and
It is SO light that 1t can be fired from
the shoulder. although the usual way
is from the hip. against which 1t is
supported by a strap over the shoul-
der. This gun is so light that the
men can use 1t in the rush over the
top, and in this respect there is moth
ing that compares with it except the
French Heu-cat or Chauchat. which
weighs four pounds more, and Is not
send off shot at each pull of the
trigger, or the whole twenty shots
can be fired in two seconds, and an
other clip put in in a few seconds
more. 1t has been shot at the rate of
600 minute. It is absolutely a new
thing in firearms and 1t is now made
only in the United States.
1t is difficult to describe the modern
machine gun. 1t Is rifle that works
by machinery. 1t has a single barrel
Just like that of the regular Army ri
fe. The cartridges are just the same
as those used in the rifle. and they are
sent forth from the muZZle at the
rate of 400 to 1000 shots per minute.
The motive power Of the machinery is
the explosion. The first shot that
goes off gives the force that fires the
second, and the second the force for
the third and SO on. 1t must work
exactly, for the operations are per-
formed in the fraction OF a second or
in the splitting again and again of a
watch tick. Every shot in the stream
of lead has to give the force which
brings the next cartridge into place
Evening star., 1918-06-23

and to move the spring which fires 1t
and in turn starts another. In some
kinds Of machine guns the force Is the
kick or recoil of the explosion. and in
others it is the gas which fies back
working a piston Just like the gas in
the Cylinder of an automobile. Tho
wonderful thing about 1t Is that 1t
does this at the rate of hundreds OF
times to the minute and that the Same
gun will keep mp this action for
thousands of times without missing
fire. In the heavy Browning which I
shot there was no perceptible kick.
The tripod remained perfectly steady,
and my arm was not Jared. In this
respect the light Browning is some
what different. and for that reason it
Is fred from the hip. The gun may be
used also from an airplane. and it can be
speeded up to 1000 shots per minute.
The speed with which the bullets
fly forth from the heavy machine
guns causes an enormous friction.
and the barrel would be red hot in
a minute il there were not some
reason there is a tube containing
water around the barrel of the heavy
browning. 1t is known as the water
Jacket, and 1t holds seven and one
half pints. After the first 500 cart
ridges the water is boiling, and every
1000 shots thereafter causes the
evaporation of one pint of water. The
guns can be shot as long as water
Is kept in the jacket. The cartridges
are fed to the gun in a belt of cotton
through which they are stuck much
like pins in a paper. There are $50
cartridges in each belt, and the gun
automatically moves them, shooting
out the bullets as long as you press
the trigger. It takes but an instant
10 start In a new belt, and the shoot
ing can go on as long as the supply
Of cartridges lasts.
-
The new Browning gun has almost
200 parts, but they At 30 smoothly and
30 accurately that 1t can be taken to
pieces and put together by the ordi-
nary soldier without the aid of any
other tool than one Of the cartridges
nred from the gun. I spent some time
In the assembling room of the shops
where the parts are ftted into the
completed machine gun. Mr.. Sherman,
the foreman, showed me how they
went together. He told me he could
take a gun apart In one minute. He
thereupon picked up a cartridge, and
used the bullet end somewhat like an
AWI. Thls enabled him to loosen one
part of the combination, and in less
than sixty seconds by my watch he
had all Of the pieces, including the
springs and other delicate bits of
machinery, lying before him on the
table. 1t took him only a little longer
to put the parts back into place and
have the gun ready for firing. Think
Of taking a watch apart with your
fingers and putting it together again
SO that every bit of the mechanism
fits and the watch goes on working.
That Is what the ordinary soldier
can do with Browning machine gun
after short course of instruction.
It Is possible also to unscrew the
barrel of the gun and put in another.
The parts of each gun are inter-
changeable with those Of the other
Brownings, and the. soldier has a GER
