While the bulk of the actual direction OF
work on the other side and at home has
fallen on the shoulders Of Mr.. Mulligan, he
has had able assistance from other quar-
ters. Chief of his aids in the larger work
at home have been Joseph c. Pelletier, the
busy District Attorney of Boston, William
J. McGnnis. the grand secretary of the or
der, who has found time TO do his regular
work and q lot moro in addition; D. J.
Callahan, of Washington, the treasurer OF
the National Catholic War Council, who in
cidentally found time to sell more War Saw
ings Stamps than any other individual, and
another. J. J. McGraw, who has neglected

ing from the recoil, eject the empty car
fridge and automatically replace
loaded cartridge, so in order to continue
firing all one needs to do is to continue
pressure on the trigger. With the gun
camera it was determined that something
must be substituted for the force of the
cartridge charge and so use was made
Of a spring which is wound up with
handle similar to that employed in wind
ing up talking machine motors. The
spring is fastened directly to the shaft
that turns the 5-inch reel and through
a mechanism, called Geneva movement,
which causes ar intermittent action. TO
the shutter mechanism in the lens barrel.
Thus, as the film is moved steadily past
the light trap, the shutter opens and
closes for making the various exposures
to show the location Of the opening aero
plane, each opening occurring at the
time a machine gun bullet would have
been fired.
To facilitate spotting the shot from
the gun camera, q glass plate, called a
graticule, is placed in the barrel at the
focal plane in contact with the film
This plate is marked with vertical and
horizontal line passing through the
centre and one small circle which one
might say indicates the bull's-eye, and
two large circles drawn close together,
describing the outer field covered by the
camera. These circles and bsecting
lines are impressed on the film at each
exposure and the position of the opponent
aeroplane is indicated by means of them.
OF course, it must be realized that in

moved in war work on the widely sepa-

Improved Rivet Gutter.


A pneumatic rivet cutter for use in
structural steel work and in repair
shops consists Of long barrel, with
compressed air connection at one end
and a chisel at the other, the stem
Of the chisel being held by a coiled
spring, which draws it back after each
stroke A plunger travels freely In
the barrel or tube, and small bypass
pipe connects the ends of this tube.
Two men are employed, the one at
the rear operating the valve and the
one at the front keeping the chisel
against the rivet head. The force Of
the blow can be regulated by the valve.
Air pressure of 80 to 80 pounds may
be used, the higher pressure being the
more effective. A punch can be in
serted in place of the chisel for back
ing out the rivets. In the larger size
the stroke is 40 inches, and the weight
Of the machine complete is only 65
pounds. A smaller size will cut rivets
up to three-eighths of an inch in diam
eter.

where ESKIMO IS SUPERIOR
Home Life Declared by stefansson to
Be Practically IdeaI-Hospitable
In the Extreme.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson, in writing
of his IS months stay among the Es-
kimos, tells Of their great kindness
to guest who could not pay for his
keep, says Harper's, stranger whose
purpose among them they did not
know, thus:
I'm an Eskimo home I have never
heard an unpleasant word between a
man and his wife, never seen child
punished nor an old person treated in
considerably. The household affairs
are carried on in an orderly way and
the good behavior Of the children is
remarked by practically every traveller.
I'm many things we are the superb
ors Of the Eskimo and in few we are
his interiors. The moral value Of some
Of his superiority Is small. He can
make better garments against cold
than our tailors and furriers; he can
thrive in barren wastes where New
Highlander would starve.
But of some Of his superiority the
moral value is great. He has devel-
oped individual quality further than
We, he is LET'S selfish, more helpful to
his fellows, kinder to his wife, gentler
to his child, more reticent about the
faults Of his neighbor than any but
the rarest and best Of our race.
"When tried to express thanks for
their Kindness in my fragmentary Es-
kimo, they were more surprised than
pleased.
"Do, then, in the white mans land,
some starve and SILVER while others
eat much and are warmly clac?'
TO that question said No. al
though knew I was lying. I was
afraid the competitive system could
not be explained to them satisfactor-
ny; neither was I, being the poor
est among them, very anxious to try
justifying it." $50
