New u. S. Army Rifle Shows Improve
ments Over Other Models

The United States rifle, model OF
1917, commonly called the modified
Enfield, has now been tested in the
service of the Army a sufficient time
to warrant the assertion that it more
than justifes the claims made for 1T,
according to a statement authorized
by the Secretary of War.
The new rifle takes a .3O-caliber
cartride, which has the advantage ov-
er the British Enfield Of being rimless.
1t has been found that unless rim
cartridges are fed through the maya
zine uniformly with the rim of the
top cartridge ahead of the rim of the
one Immediately below, jams are
likely to occur.
The model of 1917 has an overall
length of 46.3 inches; total weight
including oiler and thong case and
bayonet of 10 pounds and 5 ounces.
The breech mechanism is Of the bolt
type.

Each Battle Plane Needs Extra
Equipment and Staff of Skilled
Men,

After three years of warfare the
total number of airplanes able to take
the air at any one time on either side
of the western front has not been ov-
err $500. Each plane in the air re-
quires force of 46 men, two re-
placement planes on the ground, and
one training plane for every pilot
who eventually reaches the front,
with an extra engine for each plane
The life of a plane is not more
than two months, and the engine
must be overhauled after each IS
hours. Now that American battle
planes are going overseas, the great
problem is to secure the thousands OF
skilled mechanics, enginemen, motor
repair men, wood and metal workers
needed to keep the planes in perfect
condition. This engineering and me-
chanical force at the airdomes, the
flying fields, and repair depots, both
here and behind the lines in France,
is a vital industrial link in the chain
to air supremacy.

there is no greater strength of character
In the world than that shown by the
people who save OF small incomes. II
means such countless refusals. such
hourly watching OF the pennies, such in
finite self denial. such foresight such

It II So Easy to Justify Expenditures.
Think OF the innumcrous perfectly
justifable ways in which every dollar
that has been put into the bank might
have been spen>!
And 10 blame the rank and file of
people for not having this strength Of
character Is like blaming them for not
all being geniuses.
True, I think everyone ought to save.
and that the road to tho hank is the
road to peace Of mind. But I certain
" do not think anyone who has not
shown in his own walk Of life character
far above those about him. has the right
to criticize the very poor for not saving.

why these people don't save more. Thc*
