Unpopular Job.

Few persons were DESTROYS of quail
flying for the task Of destroying 24,000
pounds of dynamite and other high ex.
plosives, stored until recently in an
abandoned magazine. The unpopular
ity Of the job was increased by the
fact that a previous attempt to burn
the explosives had resulted In detona-
tions 50 violent that the experiment.
ers fled. Finally an expert was EN-.
ployed who carefully opened each box
with wooden wedge aud malIet and
examined the contents. In most eases
he found that the material could be
destroyed by dumping it on the
ground, saturatlng 1t with oil. and
then lighting II with u fuse that per-
mitted withdrawal before explosions
took place.

Had Imitation Submarine TARGET.

The skin with which the American
gunners frustrated the attacks of u
boats was due, in large measure, to
the use of an ingenious target for gun
practice during the voyages. asserts a
writer in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The device consisted of n frame
work. about 80 feet long and five feet
wide. built to be drawn through the
water, with an imitation coming tow
er and periscope mounted on the upper
side. It was drawn behind the ship
by means of two cables attached one
above the other BY pulling on the
upper one, the upper side Of the frame
was made to project forward, causing
the target to rise to the surface, while,
by pulling on the lower cable the de-
vice would quickly submerge. Officers
out OF sight of the gunners manlpu-
lated the apparatus, frequently chang
Ing the range by paying OUT or taking
in the cables.

ciAl standing, or Of estimating their credit, From each
solicitor these managers receive many Of these sigued
papers. The total runs into the thousands in number, and
tato the hundreds of thousands in face value.
The league alacials take a bundle of this paper to q
bank and ask for a loan upon it. The banker has no
possible opportunity to know anything about the paper
Or the people who made it. It is in amounts too small
to warrant individual investigation. Such investigation
would eat up a large part of the amount involved. Hence,
when paper Of this class is accepted it must be accepted
In bulk. and In actual practice it is accepted without
knowledge Of its value. This, it appears, is the kind Of
security in which the scandinavian-American bank of
Fargo has been dealing, and which Is maintained by
league officials to be first class security. =
Applying any ordinary rule of common sense to II,
what sort Of security is it? Anyone can answer.
