fBv Associated Press)

NEW YORK, July 6-Scientists and
inventors today discussed the remark
able qualities of new gun, which DR..
Miller Reese Hutchinson, former chief
engineer for Thomas A Edison,
claims may be developed to hurl a
projectile of five tons from two hun
dred to three hundred miles. It's We
locity, he declared, ranges from one
to five miles a second
The noise it made at a demonstra-
ton yesterday sounded much like the
click of a cash register though only a
miniature weapon, with an eight inch
barrel was used. Its projectile may
be stopped in a sheet of steel with the
precision of a trolley car.
The gun is the invention of John
Temple, an Englishman, who develop
ed the idea in this country.
The demonstration, held in the
presence of scientists and newspaper
men, and curiously enough, held in
DR.. Hutchinson's office on the fifty
first floor of the WOODWORK building.
The testing grounds consisted of a
box of sand on the floor of the office,
over which was placed sheet of steel
three-quarters of an inch thick. Point
ing the gun downward toward the fiji
ty offices filled with people beneath
him, DR.. Hutchinson discharged the
weapon and the cash register click
was heard. In the sheet of steel there
was lodged a projectile three inches
long and one-half inch in diameter.
The ends stuck out on either side of
the steel.
DR.. Hutchinson explained that the
tail end of the projectile was threaded
and served the purpose of a bolt. This

STORMS over STATE
TENDING TO BREAK
EXTREME HEAT WAVE

LOGANSPDRT, Ind., July 6.-The
extreme heat wave of the last week
was broken here Tuesday afternoon
when terrific wind and rainstorm
swept the western and southern parts
OF the county. Trees were uprooted
telephone and telegraph wires demol-
1shed, and small buildings unroofed
The most severe part of the storm hit
Lake Clcott, where the roof of Odd
Fellows cottage, occupied by the uni
form rank orders of indianapolis,
Kokomo, Peru, and Logansport over
the Fourth of July, was ripped off and
carried several hundred feet.
John McGinnis, farmer, was over
come by the heat while at work in the
fields Tuesday morning. He is the
fourth heat victim in as many days.
His condition is serious.

URGE EVERY FARMER
TO WAGE CAMPAIGN
AGAINST BUG PESTS

Every farmer in Center township
should fight the chinch bugs as hard
as he can" was the substance of a
resolution adopted at the special
meeting of Center township farmers,
called Tuesday night to discuss the
subject of chinch bug control.
Reports indicated that the bugs are
present in many parts of the town
ship although in varying strength, and
1t was felt that each man would bene-
fit not only himself, but his neighbors,
by eliminating the pest from his land,
or if that is impossible, by at least
holding the numbers as low as posi-
Bile, and cooperating this winter in an
intensive burning campaign.
Plans were made for obtaining a
quantity of barrier oil and placing it
for distribution at some point in Cen
terville, where farmers will be able
to get it readily. One drum of oil has
been brought into the township al
ready by Arvel Daley, and is available
at his farm.
Fear Second Brood
Fear of the second brood was ex-
pressed by several, and testimony of
destruction by the late bugs was Civ
en- by Dan Medearis in telling of a
visit to Kansas during "chinch bug
year" Nice looking corn, full grown,
and standing taller than my head"
said Mr.. Medearis, which had bugs
of the second brood on it, did not have
an ear on a stalk Here in Center
saw them today on the Charley Gaar
farm so thick that it looked as though
there were 1000 to a stalk. I told him
they would take the corn in two
weeks"
Arvel Daley, who has been fighting
the bugs for some time stated that
they would take three or four acres of
corn, but he had been able to keep
them out of the rest. Telling of the
barrier line which stops the progress
of the bugs and traps them in post
holes, he said: Some holes will fill
an inch in the afternoon"

PHILADELPHIA, July 6-Classes
of instruction for persons engaged in
Americanization work were opened
today at the university of Pennsylvan-
ia with an initial enrolment of fiji
teen hundred students.
Nearly fifty per cent of those of
foreign birth, who have registered,
are of Spanish origin while thirty per
cent are Chinese, French, Japanese
and American Negroes also were well
represented
The course is to last three weeks

thorough training to those who are not

feature, he declared, could be used in
boiling a plate over hole in the hull
of leaking ship at sea.
DR.. Hutchinson said a demonstra-
ton was held recently in the New
York navy yard of the practicability
of deep sea riveting with the gun. A
diver went 35 feet below the surface
and fired shot The diver refused
to believe the gun had been discharg-
ed, as he said there had been no per
cusslon and no recoil. He was shown
the plate of the ship he had fired into
however, and later a pressure of eight

tons was required to force the pro-
jectile from its place.
Has High Velocity
The demonstration gun used by DR..
Hutchinson had a velocity of one mile
a second. He declared the high power
rifles now in vogue obtain their We
locity through the use of small projec-
tiles, long barrels and about three
times as much powder as is used in
the new weapon.
The principle of burning the pow
der, which does not permit waste, be-
fore the projectile even starts to move
has been applied in the gun, DR..
Hutchinson explained, as he showed
many other things which TO the lay
mind were as uninteiligible as a lee
ture in higher mathematics would be
to the average lad of ten. The elimin-
