Super Pistol Invented.

Colonel John T. Thompson, U. S.
A, retired, has invented new sub
machine gun of great power in the
form Of large pistol, which can be
carried under the coat for instant use.
This new submachine gun, which has
already been adopted by the New York
police department, weighs only seven
pounds and fires pistol ball or buck
shot cartridges, caliber AS, and can be
made to fire from one to 500 shots
a minute at will. 1t is said to be the
fastest, surest and safest gun in the
world. A large order for the manu-
facture Of this arm has been placed.
The simplicity Of the gun, with its
very small number of parts (only III
is one of its greatest features. 1t is
constructed on new and novel sys-
tenn of breech closure, and by the use
of simple little wedge, weighing but
three ounces, the numerous complicat-
ed parts known to gas and recOil Op-
Grated automatic guns, weighing from
two to four pounds, are done away
with.
A box magazine holding 20 car
tridges, drum magazine for so car
tridges and drum magazine for 100
cartridges are provided. The fhaga-
zines are interchangeable in the maya
zine opening of the gun and operate
without any connection with the gun
mechanism. The raising of 100 car
tridges against gravity, achieved in
the latter magazine, is a remarkable
and hitherto unaccomplished feat.
The gun, it is held, is without an
equal for riot use and for the police
in chasing thieves and other lawbreak-
ers who attempt to escape in motor
cars, and even an inexperienced man,
it is said, can fire with the effect of
an expert marksman and moving tar
gets can be hit with the ease that a
fireman sprays hose on a flame

The Girls of the 1850'S

| In the 18th century novels, heroines
no longer tainted nor had Mysteries;
but the fearful tradition still fingered.
A bride is described as breaking from
the bridal procession to burst into
tears and embrace little golden
haired girl, though the child was of

haul traffic; with the result that many
thousands of cars which are now tied
up with short haul traffic will be re-
leased for long haul and coal traffic.
Up to the present time the railroads
have not had a competitor. In other
states where good road conditions ex-
list the auto truck has proven a strong
competitor with the railroads, which
must necessarily result in reduction
! of railroad rates, particularly on short
haul traffic
If Minnesota and the northwest
freezes this winter there can by. no
question but that the states made

tributor to that effect. In addition
to that the excessive cost of coal
would go long way toward putting
the road system in order. The rail-
road situation cannot grow better; it
can only grow worse as traffic in
creases.
History will repeat itself in future
coal shortages. 1t is time citizens who
should wake up and prepare for the
future.

remedy.

of railroad has been built in all that
time. In July the railroad congestion
was so bad that the average freight
car was moving but twenty miles per

low milage is that thousands and thou

short haul traffic. If there existed a

Musings of a
Country Professor
By Fred Lusconb.

Now. l have Just sized up the above
title OF this article, and it struck me
that it might refer to my own mlsgiv-
ings. The title would fit me eminently,
for l dwell in a country town IN
Hoosierdown, where excitement is at
low ebb and musing is about the only
thing left to do besides going after the
mail. But l, though grudgingly (for. l
like the music of my own TIN horn the
best), will have to give place to my
friend, Professor Foghorn, alto soloist,
bandmaster of the Strinesville Concert
Band and musical director OF the FIRST
Methodist Church Symphony Orchestra;
The ensemble OF these eminent and
wel1-known organizations, as chromcled
by that fraternally-dis diseased journal
known as the Musical Flunky, IS as
follows: Band, one piccolo, four solo
comets. one solo alto (the protessor),
one solo trombone, one solo baritone
and one very weak bass horn Chat IS
only allowed to exist by being brow
beaten by the professor), one snare
drum of the long model OF l849, and
one very loud bass drum, manipulated
bv a perspiring artist whose side line IS
handling freight, and who truthfully as
serts that he can drown out any other
band in the country with his drum.
The Instrumentation of the First
Methodist Church Symphony Orchestra
(the church referred to is bound to be
called the First, for it's the only church
in town. consists of all the above art
lists and is only different in instrumental
ton by the solo alto being replaced by
the professor with genuine Hears q
Sawbuck violin having pure brindle
tone color (thanks to the silver steel
strings on it), and an additional young
lady artist who paws the worries in this
mixture of harmony heaven. Her front
name is Colby.
Perhaps, this is the place for me to
describe the personal appearance OF the
professor, who is we'll known to the
musical elite of the middle west. Imag-

forts, and you have fairly recognizable
profile of the noted individual | am try
ing to describe in my feeble way
Recently, | found the professor en-
gagged in arranging one of his own COM
positions for the Symphony Orchestra.
He was about to put on paper a bril-
liant thought, when, alas, this was ut
terly ruined by young squirt with a
musical trend of mind and a whistle
that could be heard four squares when
the band wasn't playing. This was, in
deed, disconcerting, but, as the result,
it brought forth some musings, which |
will give you the benefit of. Otherwise.
you would not have derived any benefit
by having this article written. The pro-
fessor's language follows (pitched, ap-
proximately, around the tone, D,
middle line of cleft:
"The world seems to be infested with
parasites Some infest the blood of
common damphools" possibly, the
name of a new kind of animalD "by
means of devices of human torture
known to the race as fox trots" (the
squirt was whistling a fox trot at the
time), ''and it causes the rest of inno-
cent humanity to be Inconvenience and
suffer, for it can never be confined to
the peace murderer alone, but must be
inflicted on others as well. 1t cannot
be curbed by the law, for it is too intri-
cate proceeding for the law to handle;
therefore, it can be properly named a
device of the devil. Now, | have fallen
from grace at least six degrees since
that young jackass went by with that
d-mned loud whistle of his. My usual
ly peaceful soul is filled with hate and
murder. If l had the fiend that wrote
that fox trot by the neck, his Sinking
soul would be receiving publication in
the abode of birthstone by this time,
and that would be one instance where
justice was properly administered;
probably, the only one that would be
on record. But. We gads, how impossible
it would be for this to happen in this
peculiarly devilish cunning system the
arch fiend has put upon us! Is this
system of putting hate in our souls sup
posed to be stepping stone to our sal
walton or is it devised to bring us one
step further toward the abode of the
damned? l know not, nor never will
know until l pass on to the next abode
my soul will occupy. At any rate, if
the abode is in a different place than
that occupied by fox trot parasites,
will have something to be thankful
for"

Wife Says Hub
Was Too Tight

London-Social circles are agog
over the suit for divorce brought on
the ground of desertion by Albert Ed
ward Primrose lord Dalmeny)
against his wife, Dorothy Alice Gros-
venor Primrose lady Dalmeny). Lord
Dalmeny is the only surviving son of
Lord Roseberry. His residence is in
Dalmeny House, Midlothian. Lady
Dalmeny is now living at Little Grange
Oxfordshire
The circumstances of the estrange-
ment as they were made known to
London society through advertise
ments published by both parties to the
suit divulged alleged "tightness" in
financial matters of the home on the
part of Lord Dalmeny and, it is said,
resulted in unbearable humiliation and
ridicule for Lord Dalmeny.
The facts of the imminent wrecking
of the matrimonial slate of this lord
and lady were carefully guarded until
Lord Dalmeny placed an advertise
ment in the London Times in June,
1917, stating that he would not be re-
sponsible for any debts contracted by
his wife after that date. The public
ity given the affair thus by Lord Dali
meny himself amazed London society.
The action of Lady Dalmeny, how
ever, less than four days later, made
Lord Dalmeny the butt of ridicule in
the clubs he frequented, it is said, and
further gripped the attention of the
London public in the family quarrel
thus conducted in the newspapers.
Lady Dalmeny by another advertise
ment made known the extent OF her
personal debts, which her husband adj
vertised he would not be responsible
for The total of her personal debts,
she stated in the advertisement, was
s33.04. She published an itemized
statement leading to this total There
was added ION household account sl0,-
300 represented by an overdraft on
bank. which Dalmeny had full knowl-
edge of and never objected to-.
Both Lord and Lady Dalmenyf nave
have shown much devotion to hunting
and horse racing. The two were mar
ried when Lady Dalmeny was scnooi
miss hardly in her 18th year. She had
not yet made her debut when the
marriage was consummated. A son
and a daughter are the result OF tne
marriage.

Two Purposes
Served By School
Lunches

There are two purposes which
school lunches serve; the one when
only little nourishment is needed in
mid-morning and afternoon, and the
other where the midday meal is eaten
away from home.
Every mother should lend her aid
in the effort to provide hot noon
lunches for all school children
A hot lunch is always acceptable to
the child; to assure him sociability;
it trains him in intelligent selection
and purchase of food, or in co-opera-
ton in the preparation; and it pre-
vents greed and selfishness.
For the cold lunch that goes into a
container certain conditions must be
maintained. Scald and air the con-
tainer as soon as the child brings it
home in the evening. Supply paraffin
paper and wrap each article separate
ly. Save little jam pots and dried
beef jars for jellies, jams, or cold pud-
dings. At present there are paper
jelly cups that are light to carry and
that can be filled with baked beans
or even little liquids and tightly
capped.
Don't forget the spoon and paper
napkin and provide container large
enough so that bottle of milk will
be always packed with the lunch.
Milk, sandwiches, fruit, eggs, baked
beans, and plain custards and pud-
dings all find a place on the dinner
pail menu.
The sandwiches may have ground
meats, chopped eggs, cottage or other
cheese, nuts, date, or even fudge or
maple sugar as a filling. They should
be varied from day to day. Hard
boiled or deviled eggs are seldom re-
fused; fresh fruit in season, and
simple stewed fruits are necessary
adjuncts; and something sweet and
something of little surprise may
often be included.
Always there must be an abundance
and of a variety. 1t is poor lunch
nail that does not contain sandwich,
a cookie, or an egg, to be eaten While
trudging homeward at evening.
