the propeller, and 100 cartridges for each gun.
Returning now to the bombing machines, the
types best known are the German Gotha, which
is virtually a copy of the British Handley-Palmer,
and the Italian Caproni. The dimensions of the
latter cannot be given, for the machines are in
several sizes, the smaller being biplanes, the
largest being a triplane. Those of the Gotha G
III are known. 1t is a biplane with a wing spread
of III feet, and fuselage 40.3S feet long; it can go
96.S miles an nour, ascend 14,S50 feet and carry a
load of 1920 pounds of bombs besides at least two
men.
1t was necessary to put three planes on the
larger Caproni, in order to carry the immense
, weight at high speed. 1t has three f~uselages,
each with its own motor, the one in the middle
being much shorter than the others. The right
and left fuselages have propellers in front, the
middle fuselage has a propeller behind. The mo-
tors are 24O-horse-power Isotta-Fraschini.
The Caproni are slow machines-only about 90
miles an hour-and is capable of fighting single
handed against the little wasps of the air. They
are unique in that any one Of their motors suf-
fees to propel the machine; therefore, all three
must be stopped by bullets before it is disabled.
In this last respect its only rival is-so far as
known at present w~riting-the great German
Gotha, which has two motors, either of which will
propel it.
One of the most striking facts about the evolu-
ton of air craft since the war began is that the
monoplane has virtually disappeared. Quite early
in the war the French Newport grew an extra
pair of wings. The principal reason why two
pairs are better than one is that lifting power In
the air depends upon the area of the wings. Now
the Gotha's two pairs of wings are TIT feet long
and 1925 feet wide, which gives an area of 500
square feet for each pair, or 1,13S square feet as
the total wing surface. If this were all in a single
plane, the wing would have to be about 1853 feet
long If they had the same breadth as now; and
the leverage of the wind on their ends would be
so great that the machine would be absolutely I'M
manageable.
For this same reason the biggest of the Caproni,
which is by far the largest thing In the air, has
three planes instead of two.
The Gotha is, however, more than a bombing
machine; 1t is a veritable aerial battleship. over
its bow on a swivel is a machine gun that can
shoot forward over a horizontal arc of more than
$50 degrees, and over a perpendicular arc of
about 24O degrees. On its fuselage, behind its
wings and behind the propellers, is another gun
that shoots astern over a horizontal arc of nearly
$50 degrees and over a perpendicular arc of about
100. Besides these two guns the Gotha has a
third, mounted on a pivot in the body of the fusel-
age and pointing d%ownwards. through a port hole

NAMING OF WARSHIPS.

The law requires that all frst-class battleships
shall be named for states and shall not be named
for any city, place, or person until the names of
the states have been exhausted" md a recent
article by Walter Scott Meriwether in the Rud-
der points out that Secretary Daniels recent or
der assigning the names of New Mexico, Califor-
mia, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Idaho to the five
superdreadnaughts now under construction COM
pletely exhausts the list of unused names. In
selecting names for the five battle cruisers au-
thorized by the last congress, recourse was had
to names which never should have disappeared
from the navy MISREPRESENTATION, Constella-
ton, Saratoga, Ranger, and Lexington. The ia
nous old ~frigates Constitution and Constellation,

IN MONTENEGRO.

There's a peculiar superstition in Montenegro
where the peasants believe that the iron kettle
chaln over the hot fireplace will not heat at all on
Christmas night, as at all other times, but rema,na
cool to the touch. To explain this they claim
that a similar chain hung over the fire built on
the floor of the stable at Bethlehem, and that at
the birth OF Christ, the virgin mother grasped II
for support. 1t became cool at her touch lest II

HOW GEM COUNTY DID
HER WAR BIT
Her Young Men Have Responded
and Her Resources Have
Been Marshalled.

The Boise Statesman's New Year:
edition took the form of "War Mum
Der" this year and gave in a most
comprehensive manner the part Idaho
has taken in responding to the call
for the sinews of war. The States
mans work was we'll done. The ar
ticle setting forth the part Gem coun-
ty has played was written by Rev. A.
c. Lathrop and is as follows:
"Gem county has been among the
most active contributors to the coun
try's war needs during 1917. Early
in the year when the government made
known what it wanted of our people
they began to plan and hustle to do
all possible.
Gem county numbers about 5000
people, including children. From this
number there have been sent forth
into the army some II young men.
These are classified as follows:
Volunteers in the former Second
Idaho infantry
Volunteers in the field hospital. Ill
Volunteers in the navy--..-.....---.-.-.-..- 1
Volunteers in the marines.
Volunteers in the aviation corps. 2
Volunteers in the forestry service.
Volunteers in the officers reserve l
Volunteers in the dental reserve. l
Men conscripted for the national
army
Of this number % are from the
Emmett high school. There are among
these one major, DR.. B. o. Clark, and
one lieutenant, Lee o. Miles, and quite
a few minor officers.
The Liberty Loans.
While Gem county's greatest con-
tribution to the country at war has
been men, yet the people have not |
been behind meeting the money needs.
The subscriptions to the first Lib
erty loan were $4,000. Of this sum
one corporation took $4,000.
The Second Liberty loan found Gem
county people in better shape to re
spond. A thorough organization was
under the leadership of V. T.
Craig, and instead of $4,000, the
amount asked, the county responded
with $107,000 This sum was sub
scribed by 225 different persons, but
about half the amount was from five
persons. In this campaign the Boy
Scouts took an active and spectacular

35 subscriptions, aggregating S6150. !

have also put up 80 Christmas pack

France and cantonments. They are
now knitting socks and making gar
ments to meet the pressing needs of

Food Production.
Gem county has contributed largely
toward the food supplies of the coun-
try. Larger acreages were planted,
and gardening increased more than
two-fold. With the splendid crops
the scarcity of labor, and the lack of |
transportation facilities there has to
date been but little waste. In the
production of beef, Gem county has
grown, used and sent from the county
more than 1900 head of beef cattle.
Stockmen have fed and cared for 5O,-
900 head of sheep and have sent from
the county for market purposes prob
ably 10000 lambs and sheep.
Of hogs Gem county produced less
than last year, but shipped and used
more than 2000 A conservative esti-
mate fixes the number of turkeys
shipped from Gem county at 10000;
If other fowls, 5000. Home consump-
ion of all kinds of fowls is about
10000 in addition to the above.
