WHY
A Target That Swings Is
Not Hard to Hit

It is a strange thing that the novice
will almost invariably try to hit the
bull's-eye Of a swinging target when 1t
is at the center or in the lowest posi-
ton. This Is decidedly the incorrect
method, and the expert knows better.
He knows that the time to shoot is
at the end of the swing. In fact, any
one will arrive ultimately at the same
conclusion, for a little thought win
convince him that a target is the more
easily hit when at standstiIl, or at
the end of vibration.
The moving target as a rule has the
largest bull's-eye, and is often one Of
the easiest to strike, If you happen to
know how.
Simply aim at the point where the
center of the target stops and wait
till 1t returns. Then, bling! Your
friend gives oae of those sickly smiles
and pays for the shots. Then he
wastes another quarter trying to do
something that he does not compre-
hend. simple If you only know how"

How Pipes MAY Be Cleaned.

A handy scraper for cleaning rust,
frost, paint, etc, from pipes or round
rods is provided with bronze head
in which two curved. beveled blades
are pivotally fastened above a pipe,
half encircling it. 1t is shown in
the Popular Mechanics Magazine. A
similar tool, called pipe cleaner,
is equipped with a pneumatic ham,
mer. The light blow delivered by
means Of the hammer makes the clean
err especially suited for removing
brittle coating of any kind. while the
scraper is better adapted to remov-
ing gummy substance.

How to Tell Iron From steel.

The repairer of machinery often has
to select pieces of metal from the
scrap heap to make repairs on vari-
Gus machines, anil is at loss to know
whether the meuh he has selected is
iron or steel. By the following meth
cd wrought iron, cast iron and mild
steel are easily distinguished from
each other File bright spot on the
raetal and place a drop of nitric acid
on the spot and leave for a few min
uteS
The spot will appear ash-gray on
wrought iron. brownish-blaok on mild
steel and deep black on cast iron.

Pottery the Oldest Ar.

Pottery is the oldest, the longest and
most widely diffused of all human arts
Its history if recorded. would be as
old as the history of man; its record
ed history begins with the building Of
the tower Of Babel. The oldest NOT
terry known is Egyptian. but every peo-
pie, civilized or barbarian. has prac.
ticed the art in one or another form.
All study in every department Of art
begins at a period not long after the
Mosaic deluge, but pottery is the
earliest Of all forms of art.

road. TO an observer on foot or in
the air Mt a thousand feet the hill
looks deserted-an almost treeless
pain with no distinguishing feature
save neglected old path Yet that
hillside harbors six dugouts, several
observation and listening posts, men.
cannon, machine guns, and net
work of telephone wires.
Beyond YonkerS there are trench
sections with ''No Mans Land" and
its barbed wire entanglements and dug
outs. The trenches are dug so deep
that the heads of the men do not show
above the surface, and the sod re-
moved to dig them is replaced The
openings of the dugouts of the
trenches are not, as Is sometimes sup
posed, far behind the trenches. They
are in the trenches with the entrance
on the enemy side, Bombs may fall
in the mouth of the dugout, but sell
dom inside.
THE obvious Is sometimes as good
as the Invisible" Lieutenant Towle
said recently. For instance, the fa-
nous dummy fleet the British used.
Another camoufia.re to which the Ger
mans We're dupes was red cannon,
scantily camouhaged, placed by the
British at the summit of hill The
cannon was visible to every German
scout flying over it, but 1t seemed so
obviously a fake that not single
enemy bomb was dropped on it. Yet
1t held Its position for long time,
and at night poured ts.stream of fire
into the enemy,
"The same idea Is carried out by
the American camoutieurs. who model
dummy men and guns for decoyS. The
enemy air scout sees partly camou-
tagged cannon or machine gun with it's
men bending over 1t at work and the
smoke pouring from its nozzle inter
mittently. He cannot see. completely
hidden from view, real cannon whose
men are firing deadly volley from
under cover, and whose ammunition
comes to them through tunnels.
"Such experiments are being made
by the military camoufieurs at Yonk-
erS. There are other tricks to be
learned, for they also do their own
painting of army equipment before us
ing 1t. Although an ambulance or
army truck may not be entirely invisi-
Bile on account of the various back
grounds it must pass, 1t can be mot
tied into very poor target. In mo-
ton 1t will appear as blur caused by
heat rays, for 1t is notified in the coll
ors whose values constitute coIors
which the suns rays would make"
Natural camoufIage Discarded.
At first natural camoufage was
used almost entirely. A clump of
trees and brush hid whole machine
gun company, group of rocks harbor-
ed listening post. and deserted mill
might hold a regiment. But the enemy
has learned that even the .'treeS and
stones hear" and natural camou-
tagged refuge is never safe wholly
from air attack now. TIE most limo
cent seeming object is nevertheless
an object" and therefore Il target for
the scout, whereas a perfectly smooth
hillside. with no distinguishing marks,
may be almost entirely undermined.

Women Being Trained.
American women camoufleurs are
being trained according to the same
method as the men. under the Won
ems League for National Service and
under Lieutenant Towle. Discussing
their work, he said:
There isn't any reason why the
women shouldn't do as well as the
men as camoufieurs-that is, in max
ing the materials behind the lines. 1t
isn't heavy work, but 1t demands In

Towle to try out their camouflage suits
and be photographed, wearing them, in
different positions, to see that they
blend with different colors OF the land
scape and would be invisible to the
enemy not only on the firing line but
on the plates of the enemy photog-

This is the most serious work that
has been undertaken under the au-
spices of the National League for

They will not be accepted by the

that they have made good. but the fact
that Lieutenant Towle is on leave In
order to instruct them is sufficient
proof that their work will be consid-

No Age Limit for Women.
There is no age limit, up or down,
for women Joining the corps. but each
member must have had some practical
technical training before she joins
This keeps from the corps very young
girls. The members are young women
who are self-supporting. They are
artists, architects, metal workers.
wood carvers, photographers, etc It is
an exceptionally versatile anu respon-
sible group. They take a three
months course under Lieutenant
Towle.
Each member of the class makes
and develops her own camoufiage suit,
according TO her own ideas, with the
foundation of instruction that She has
received. Suits IS they have been con-
structed by the girls so far are in one
piece, like n divers suit, with hood

RAIN AND SNOW AID CROPS
Iowa and Several Other States Re:
ceived Most Thorough Wetting
alter Part Of ast Week

Latter Part Of Last Week :-...
Last Friday night the first snow
of the season arrived and most OF the
state was covered. During the night
rain accompanied the snow, which
caused the snow to melt nearly as fast
as it fell. The rain continued most
all through Saturday and Sunday and
the country has been given a most
thorough wetting down.. The storm
was far reaching, so it is claimed, and
visited the states of Nebraska, Kan
sas, Illinois and South Dakota, as we'll
as Iowa. This will almost insure the
winter wheat crop, and those who re-
sponded to the call Of our government
will profit handsomely no doubt. !
tits believed that this moisture was
of incalculable value to the sections
visited. 1t will not only be beneficial
to the winter wheat crop, but it will
also stimulate the fall pastures and
replenish the water supply on many
farms which had reported a shortage.
There is nothing more disastrous to
the livestock business, either winter
or summer, than shortage Of water
for the stock.
or course this drenching Of the soil
will retard corn husking somewhat,
but, judging from weather conditions
at time of writing this, 1t win not be
long before corn husking can be re-
aumed, st4lsst 4
