BULLET OF SMALL CALIBRE
 FOR ARMOR-PIERCING USE

The present war has brought forth a new kind of ammunition for airplane use in the form of special cartridges containing bullets for armor-piercing and incendiary purposes. All of these cartridges are of the small rifle cali bers, according to a statement author ized by the War Department. The of an inch diameter and short length of the bullet left little space for the armor-piercing element or for tracer and incendiary compo- sition, but such combinations have been made.
 The bullets developed by the United States Ordnance department have been tested on land and from air planes to see if there is any difference in their performance when fired from a quickly moving airplane in the up- per atmosphere and when fired on land. These tests indicate that the United States has developed class of special cartridges with performance fully equal to or surpassing that at tained abroad.

A PROCLAMATION

EXECUTIVE DEPT, STATE OF ARIZONA The President has already through the press called attention to the drive for the Red Cross war fund, May 20 to 27. The achievements of the Red Cross are well known that calling attention to the desirability of immediate response to this drive seems superfluous. In subscribing to the Third Lib erty Loan in an amount double its quota, the people of Ariona have set themselves a won derful pace. 1t is my earnest hope that this pace will be maintained in meeting the re quirements of the Red Cross as solicited in it's coming drive. It must not be said that Arizona is more than willing to invest but reluctant to give. Money is the cheapest thing we can give and the amount we should give should not be measured by the number prived ourselves of ante-bellum needs and luxuries. The work of the Red Cross in the present conflict marks mans greatest effort in philanthropic services. No one can afford to be outsid1 the government. It is not the privilege of every home to fly the service flag of our country. but the homes in Ari- zona that cannot afford to make the small sacrifice necessary to membership in the Red Cross must be very few.
 In accordance with the national program. May 20 to 27 is dedicated to the Red Gross War Fund Drive in Arizona.
 In Witness Whereof. have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed.
 Done at Phoenix. the capital, this 18th day of May, A. D. 1918.

METAPHORS SADLY MIXED
 BY SPREAD-EAGLE ORATORS

In the good old days of spread-eagle oratory, when language was far more flowery and figurative than it is now, it took a cool head behind a vehement manner to steer a safe course among similes and metaphors. Absurdities were frequent and laughter marred many a peroration; yet, carried along by the speakers earnestness and fire of delivery, the most widely ridiculous metaphors often pass unnoticed.
 At memorial meeting in honor of one of the most famous of American orators, Wendell Phillips, a magnilo- quent speaker, referred to the spirits of the great departed which, on leav- ing this earth, 'fwend each it's way, swifter than a winged eagle, loftier than a soaring falcon-sweeping across the mighty spaces of the heav- ems as a glorious comet sweeps, rush ing ever onward, forward and up- ward, to it's goal in Abraham's bosom"
 Oratory of that type, even without the mixed metaphor, is rare survival from the fashion of an earlier time. Eloquence is more restrained and less ornate nowadays. Yet even in the simple style of our town time, public speakers of experience, as we'll as blunderers and beginners, occasionally slip up on their metaphors. Any schoolboy could correct the errors that have been reported as having recently been made by English politicians.
 "We are told," said one in a de- bate on an education bill, "that by such legislation the very heart of the country has been shaken to. it's utter most foundation"
 Another, in the house of commons, talking of thS mobilization of troops, declared that "among the many jar ring notes heard in this house on mili- tary affairs, this subject at least must be regarded as an oasis"
 Mir. Asquith did better. He said that redistribution is a thorny sub ject, which requires delicate handling, or it will tread on some peoples toes" and it was Lord Curzon, of Kedleston, formerly vicerOy of India, who declar- ed enthusiastically:
 Though we are not out of the woods, we have good ship" Los Angeles Times.

TRUCE OF THE TIGER AND BEAR

lhOOE UT LIE 14OE4AN A4fO DA@<AAS "Let us have peace and live as friends" the willy tiger said; The sloth bear cooked a listening ear and scratched his shaggy head. "Let us have peace as brethren should" the crouching tiger purred;
 And the grea- warm heart of the weary bear was very deeply stirred.
 Enough, enough of blows and blood" the bears gruff answer came.
 q shall call a truce to the war we wage if you will do the same. I shall let you bind with wire of steel my mighty fighting paws. If you in turn will pledge to me to Ehear your cruel claws" "Wen spoken, friend" the tiger whined, as he bound the huge sloth bear;
 My claws will soon be harmless as the pads of the limping hare" Thereat he sank his talons through the sloth bears wondering eyes, And gashed his breast. The wounded beast implored the needless skies. The tiger snarled, No pledge 1 own, no truce, no oath, no law, But the force that dwells in a sudden spring and the clutch of my mighty claw" Beware! Beware!" the great bear moansi as, blinded, he makes his way;
 Beware the lure of the tigers truce or be what I am today. Beware the purr of the crouching cat, beware of it's tricky whine; Or else-in the stroke of its rending claw your fate shall be as mine."
