ranges become Sdistant,s but spproach-
ing the range limit accuracy Is much
impaired. When fired for range limit
the maximum ordinate is too high. and
the angle Of fall too great. Then, the
influences Of atmosphere and wind, al
ways operating, exert an increasing In
fluence as the velocity Of the projectile
dir,ini.hcs. The target Of city may
be hit. but q hospital in suburb on
ono side Of the city or an orphan asy-
lum on another side is just as apt to be
hit as a powder factory in the middle OF
the city.
At present the matter Of the super
range firing is inexpicable, and when
it is cleared up the explanation will most
likely make interesting reading.

The c. & O. Canal.

The Chesapeake and Ohio canal should
do its full duty in hauling coal and
other heavy freight this season, and the
hope of the public is that the opening
of navigation on the historic and useful
OLE. waterway may not be delayed by
the reported disagreement between the
bcatmen and the company over the rates
of pay for carrying coal from the mines
to tidewater. Today is the date set
sor the beginning of traffic on the canal.
and in view of recent weather conditions
this seems to be 4 late date. The plea
of the boatn. en- is that they cannot haul
coal with profit at the rates that were
in force before the war and that had
prevailed for many years before. There
is no novelty IN this claim. 1t has been
heard Ill many places and in all lines Of
work. An increase of pay, offered by
the company, is said not to be salts
factory to the men.
The solution of the trouble probably
lies in compromise. Perhaps the world
would stand still in its orbit or topple
off, if it were not for compromise. All
business, including craftsmanship and
politics, would go to smash if there we're
no such thing as compromise. Every
body who knows anything about the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal knows that
it is not a Colconda or Bonanza or a
Camp Bird or United Verde, or any
rich-paying thing like those famous
mines. Everybody knows that at times
it has had trouble to keep the water
flowing in its channel and its lock gates
swinging, but it has been a long time
since the canal has been as important
as it is now. 1t must work to the limit
of its capacity. 1T is public servant,
and the public looks to it to play a
canals full part in the struggle that is
going on. The public hopes that the
lock-tendcrs, the boatmen and their
wives, and the helpers who take their
turn at trudging along the towpath will
all be satisfied, and that like all other
Americans they will contribute their
best efforts, or put in their best ticks,
toward knocking kaiserism into cooked
hat

The Mystery of the Superg0n.

The story Of the bombardment VI Paris
by gun or guns more than sixty mixes
away is battling and mysterious. Men
whose art it is to design and build can
non do not credit the story of this super
gun. Yet the news repeatedly came
across the ocean and continues to come
across from absolutely credible news
sources.
Saturday at about :27 in the afternoon
4 bulletin came off the wires of the Asso-
ciated Press that 'The Germans have
been firing on Paris with long range
guns" A few minutes later came a press
message that @Since O'Clock this morn
ing shells of $40 mi.limeters have been
reaching the capital and suburbs at in
tervals of quarter of an hour, killing
about ten persons and wounding about
fifteen. The shortest distance from
Paris to the front is sixty-two miles"
At l 40 pm. the news came from Paris
that "The announcement that Paris was
being bombarded was made officially this
afternoon and measures for counter at
lacking the enemy's cannon are under
execution" Several other times during
the afternoon brief and unsatisfactory
messages of this character came over
the sea- Then later came message from
Paris that According to latest reports
the long-distance cannon which bonn
barded Paris this afternoon was firing
from distance of 120 kilometers, ap-
proximatcly 741a miles, and was located
about IL kilometers beyond tho French
'front.'" A bulletin reached newspaper
Offices this morning that "The long
range bombardment of Paris was re-
sumcd at $50 this morning, but was
interrupted after two Shots"
Extra long-range firing may have
moral effect, but little direct military
value. "A gun with . twenty-mile range
is terrific weapon at short and mid
ranges and q great weapon vhen tho

Wilhelm at the Front.
Place to view the battle scene
As he'd view the hunt,
Safe within limousine,
The kaiser's at the front.
With pretzel and a stein,
Or with trufiies washed with vino.
Listening to the warriors moan
By long-distance telephone;
Watching troops that form and mas,
Through high-power opera glass:
Letting bombs that fierce ascend
With Wagnerian music blend,
And as brave men fall in pain
Shouting, aset 'em up againr
Mid the sport he is serene.
Others bear the brunt
Safe within hmousins,

USE GLASS FOR FALSE HAIR
Material Also Converted Into Cotton
and Wool and Pressed Into
Sheets or Pads.

In Venice they are spinning glass fol
commercial uses, converting it into
glass cotton and glass wool pressed
into sheets or pads, says the Popular
Science Monthly. Although the prin-
cipal use of the product at present is
for insulation, we have heard the word
uf the Italian makers, that it serves
admirably for making artificial hair,
wigs, perukes, dolls hair, Santa Claus
boards and other hirsute adornments.
The processes of manufacture are
simple. Solid glass rods, made of pure
American soda that contains no adul-
teratiOn of lead or other metal, are
worked into fluff under a Bunsen
burner and blowpipe. A bicycle Wheel
minus the tire, winds up the threads.
If the threads are sufficiently fine they
curl and fluff out like wool.
The product is now marketed in
three forms-glass cotton, glass wool,
and in sheets about one-half inch thick
which resemble white felt pads. In the
last form mentioned it may be used to
make separators for accumulators Of
electricity.

"Never mind; I'm sure it wasn't

irritation on her face.
"Well, must say your wife is an
angelw exclaimed the bachelor,
warmly. "Most women would have
withered that clumsy fellow with a
look, If they hadn't scorched him with
words"
"An angel, is she?" said the married
man, as he picked up the broken UNI

wife. "She may be-but she's wanted

Trade Preparedness In Chile.

BY proclamation the president Of

There is herewith appointed COM
mittee which shall investigate the situ-
alton in which the industries and COM
merce Of Chile will probably find them
selves upon the re-establishment Of
peace, and Of competition between the
products Of national industry and those
imported from abroad, and to recon-
mend to the government such meas

visable for the purpose Of protecting
these in their present advanced condi-
tion and to encourage their further de-

PINTO BEAN HELPS OUT,
Forty-one Million Pounds Contracted
for by Government.

0. H. Liebers, head of the Pinto
Bean Division, U. S. Food Admins
tration, has contracted forty-one mil
lion pounds of beans from growers in
Colorado, New MeAico and adjoining
states. This amount is considered to
be at least 80 per cent OF total amount
available. Contracts are coming in
daily from growers and all indica-
tions are that the division will get at
least 95 per cent OF the 1917 crop of
Pinto beans still unsold
One million pounds of extra choice
seed has been stored at the following
points: Denver. Greeley, Trinidad,
Clayton, New Mexico and Albu-
querque, New Mexico. This seed will
be sold to growers at the $3.50 price
plus local freight, cost of storage, in
surance and other incidental ex-
penses. The price should not exceed
S9.15 per cwt. For this, the grower
is getting an unusual quality of dry
land Pinto beans, recleaned and well
sacked.
Last week the Food Administration
had orders for immediate shipment as
follows: so cars to Boston, SO cars
to New York City, SO cars to Philadel-
phia and so cars to Chicago. These
shipments will average $4,000 pounds
per car. The Food Administration
expects to keep moving these beans
as fast as they can get equipment and
orders for them from the eastern mar
kets. 1t should be noted that this is
the first time that Pinto beans have
been shipped to these eastern con-
suming centers. After the Food Ad.
ministration gets through placing this
years crop on the market, the east
will be as familiar with the Pinto
bean as it is with the Navy. This
should practically solve all future
troubles in getting a satisfactory mar
ket for Pinto beans.

BAN ON OLIVE OIL EXPORTS
Royal Order Calls Halt on Shipments
Except Essentials, From spain
to United States.

Olive oil exports from Spain, Of
which large quantities formerly were
shipped both directly and via France
and Italy to the United States and
other foreign markets, from Barcelona
and Seville, are prohibited by recent
royal order, states commerce reports.
In southern Spain and in the region
Of Catalonia, the olive oil industry has
been an important source Of revenue
to the growers who export to foreign
refineries, whence the oil was often
shipped to the United States, as Of
really non-Spanish production. Re-
Gently the direct exports of the COM
modify from Spain to the United States
have increased considerably with the
development Of the American taste for
the Oil produced in Spain.
There is no embargo on exports of
essential oils such as pennyroyal, rose
mary, sage, thyme and lavender, the
Spanish production of which Is large
ly destined for foreign markets, and
shipment of which is made direct from
Spain to the United States, France,
and elsewhere. These oils are pro-
duced especially in the regions of Muir
cia and Malaga, where many medical
herbs are grown for domestic con-
sumption and export. AS compara-
lively little use is made in Spain Of
several oils derived from the plants
mentioned and other Oil-prOducing
herbs, the local market is limited; but
the industry may be developed indefi-
nitely in view Of the favorable cli-
matte conditions of those sections Of
Spain where the plants flourish. In
1916 the declared exports of essential
oils from Malaga to the United States
were valued at $176,164; those from
Almeria, at $21 1920; and those from
Barcelona, at $13,22O.
