streets 80 that parkways can be
graded and maintained That is al
most an essential to the formation
OF parkways, tho they can be built
without even curbing.
Then of course the question of
watering the grass plots must be set
tied, and that can only be settled
permanently by the City Courcil some
time in the future for conditions are
not right now for undertaking a work
of that kind, and the temporary ar
rangement with the Warmsprings
District is working satisfactorily now
and may prove to be the solution for
years to come.
Before Ontario proceeds with inn
provements prudence demands care
ful thot. II would be folly for this
city to ignore the warnings that come
from every hand that the orgy of ex-
trayagence must cease. both In pri-
vate and public affairs. While on
tario's spending or not spending
would In nowlso affect the financial
situation OF the country, IL every
other community viewed the situa-
tion In that light, breakers would
loom ahead for all,
We believe that many of the think
ing men and women of the commun-
ity realize that in the Identification
OF the individual homes, In the plant
ing OF parkways, in the addition OF
trees, rather than in the extension
OF major improvements, for the pres
ont, lies ontarios duty. At least
this thought is worthy OF considora-
tion. and II further improvements are
determined upon by the majority
everything will be done with all the
facts on the table for consideration

Reports Indicate Success

Columbia, June 29.-Reports re
ceived at the headquarters Of the
statewide expansion campaign Of the
South Carolina Development Board
cove ring the past week indicate s,ic-
cess for the movement. Some OF the
districts were not able to complete
their canvass within the time origin
ally set, and they will continue their
enrollments of members and pledg-
ing of support for some days longer.
The one outstanding fact in connec-
ton with the drive, according to the
members Of Governor Cooper's state
committee, is that wherever earnest5
active work has been done by the
committees, they have been complete
ly successful. This indicates, the COM
mittee members say, that the citizens
are strongly behind the plan for the
development Of the States resources
as outlined by the development board.
One of the important Incidents Of the
campaign has been the strong sup
port given by the cotton mill men.
In several manufacturing centers
mill owners have readily agreed that
their support Of the undertaking
should be on the basis Of one cent per
spindle.
In accordance with its announced
intention of making markets and mar
keting the first Of its large projects,
the development board has already
commenced an intensive study Of the
subject with q view to adopting
workable plan for South Carolina and
putting it into operation at once.
Walter G. Braden, president of the
National Community Market Asso-
citation, and T. Park Hay, Jr., mana
ger of the markets bureau of the Bir-
mingham Chamber of Commerce, have
been in consultation with the board
officers the past week. It is hoped to
have several Of the proposed home
cash markets organized and opera
ting in time to care for the fall crops.

A NEW WAR MACHINE
11,O0O Shots a Minute. Fired BY
NOiseless Gun.

Clothed in strict secrecy and at
tended only by officers Of the Army
and government scientists, expert
ments are being made at the bureau
of standards on a large-caliber ma
chine gun, from which bullets are pro-
PEELED at high rate by centrifugal
force. The weapon is practically
sorndless in operation, and if perfect
ed will have a revolutionary eject
upon the use of small arms in modern
warfare.
The gun consists of a rotating bar
rel with bore of approximately one
half inch. This barrel is attached to
a shaft which is caused to rotate by
motor driven gears at varying speed.
The projectiles which are one-half
inch caliber and spherical in form,
are fed into the gun by an automatic
feed, obtaining a speed, or muzzle
velocity, of approximately 920 foot
seconds at 5000 revolutions per min
ute of the gun barrel, 1,135 feet per
second at 1O,5O0 revolutions and 1910
feet per second at 1900 revolutions
per minute.
The penetration Of the projectile is
about seven inches of pine wood at
1900 feet per second at distance OF
six inches from the muzzle Of the
rifle. The gun can maintain a rate
can be maintained, according ETA
of fire of one shot per revolution, or
11,O0O shots for 1000 revolutions per
minute. However, any rate OF fire
can be maintained, according to the
number of projectiles that are fed into
the barrel at the will Of the opera
tor. It can be handled for traverse
fire in much the same manner as an
ordinary machine gun, and is design
ed for light armored cars, tanks and
airrlanes.
One important feature of the gun
is that it does away with the use of
powder or other explosives as a
means to propel the bullets. Centrf-
ugal force throws the projectiles for
