Browning Machine Gun Passes Tests
for Airplane Use.

The Browning machine gun has sue
cessfully undergone test to deter
mine it's value for use with aircraft.
This is one of three types of ma
chine guns with which the rate of
fire can be so synchronized with the
revolutions of the propeller of trac-
tor airplane that the gun can be fired
by the pilot Of combat plane
through the revolving blades.
Airplarc propellcrs revolve at from
800 to 1000 revolutions per minute.
The machine gun is connected with
the airplane engine by mechanical
or hydraulic device, and impulses from
the crank shaft are transmitted to the
machine gun. The rate of fire Of the
machine gun is constant and its fire
is synchronized with the revolving
propeller blades by wasting" a GER
tain percentage of the impulses it re-
ceives from the airplane engine and
by having the remaining impulses trip
or pull the trigger so that the gun
fires just at the fraction of a second
when the propeller blades are clear OF
the line of fire.
The pilot operates the gun by
means of lever which controls the
circuit and allows the impulses to
trip the trigger.

Meat Ration Cut in Germany; Hog

In Bavaria the monthly meat ra-
ton has been cut 20 per cent-from
1000 to 800 grams--according to
German newspapers. The monthly
meat ration in Saxony has been re-

lie officials are reported in the Prus-
sian press as discussing the possibili-
ty of a further reduction of the
bread ration in Prussia.
A Munich paper reports that from
the beginning of the war to March l,
1918, Bavarian hog stocks have de-
creased from 2,106,312 to 766,391
head. The Danish hog census shows
decrease from 1861 900 hogs July
IL, 1917, to $4,000 December 5, 1917,
or a decrease Of one-third the number
at the beginning of the war.

More than 1,50O Per Cent.

One of the interesting develop
ments of the war, according to a
statement authorized by the War De-
partment, is the rapid expansion of
the various bureaus of the War De-
partment. At the outbreak of the
war there were less than 5000 en-
ployees on duty. The number now is
approximately $4,000, an increase of
800 per cent. While this represents a
tremendous expansion, the increase in
the Army itself has been more than
$500 per cent.
Only out of every 100 officers in
the service were in the Army at the
time the war began. The increase in
personnel at the administrative end
Of the war thus has not kept pace with
the growth of the Military Establish
ment.

Gas Masks for Horses are Being
Sent TO France.

NaS MaSkS iuF u"TseS are Doing
Sent to France.
The Gas Defense Service is now
manufacturing about 5000 horse gas
masks per day. These are being
sent to France, and it is expected
that within a short time every horse
connected with the American Expedi-
tionary FORCES will be equipped with
the new masks.
The Gas Defense Service has a
completely equipped factory for the
manufacture of the masks. In less
than three weeks building was Sc
lected and the factory was producing
masks. The introduction Of riveting
machinery has done away with the
heavy hand sewing Of the frame
which supports the masks on the
faces of the horses. The masks are
so constructed that no metal OF
chemically impregnated parts car
chafe the horse.

Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 16.-The
Florida Supreme Court has just
handed down a decision in the case
of Gadsden B. Bryan, plaintiff in
error, VS.. the City of West Palm
Beach. Bryan sued under Sec. "a

sonal injuries due to defective con-
ditions of the streets of that city of

painting the pavement with denmark

wire along the streets to indicate the
official parking place. Against this
wire the pedestrian, Bryan, tripped,
and claimed personal injuries were
sustained The Supreme Court has
reversed the decision of the court be-
low and Bryan now has the right to
