A QUESTION OF
GETTING TOGETHER

In the good old days'-way back
in the Stone Age-men were fairly
independent of each other-they went
out and killed their own food and
clothing and looked after their own
comforts.
But today. a man has no more
chance of satisfying his needs, single
handed and alone. than a day-old
child. His meat is killed in Chicago.
his foodstuffs grown in every part Of
the country and. plain as he may be,
he enjoys Iuxuries that are brought
from the ends of the earth
This is the great age of getting to-
gether-and the easiest, most profit
able way of keeping in daily contact,
with the opportunities OF satisfying
your needs and wants that are pre-
scented here in Wilmington is 10 read

during the tests conducted several
weeks ago by experts. Two new en-

been ordered. in addition to those

NEW NO|SELESS CANNON
TO Be WEAPON OF PEACE
Hutchinson ConcussionIess Gun
Also to be Used i'm In
dustriaI Pursuits.

The noiseless. conoussionless gun
being demonstrated in New York by
Miller Reese Hutchinson. former chief
engineer for Thomas A. Edison. will be
utilized for most peaceful purposes.
according TO the word brought back
from New York by men who witnessed
demonstra tions of the weapons
Capable OF piercing armor plate on
dreadnoughts and of firing a shot 200
mites the invention Is to be utilized in
raising ships from the depths and also
in preventing leaking ships from sink
ing That is the present intention of
MIR Hutchinson. it Is said by men who
had witnessed the operation of the
weapon and had talked 10 the inventor
The men handling the new weapon
say that they can gauge to the frac-
tion of an inch just how far a shell
from the gun viii pierce armor plate
they say the gun can be lowered to
the side of sunken vessel. proiectiles
fired and imbedded in the side OF the
vessel with cables attached and then
the vessel can be raised by means of
buoys.
The weaDon can be en- silly trans
ported and the speed of the proiecfi1e
Is gauged by the amount of powder
used in firing a projectile. The secret
Ct the gun. il was said. lies in the fact
tnat all of the powder used is con
summed before the projectile is speeded
on its way.
The ordinary weapon starts it's pro-
jectile before all the powder is con-
sumed, and in that manner much Of
the energy is lost. The new weapon
esilizes all the possible energy. and in
that manner acquired unheard- of We
locity for the projectile and accom-
panying great penetrating power.
The base of the proiectile used in
the gun. 1t was said, remains in the
throat of the gun and aids in attain
inv the noiseless feature of the
weapon. Il was said The exploding
powder expa ands with equal force in
all directions. and having been vir-
tually consumed before the proiectile
Is discharged the noise and the kick of
an ordinary gun are eliminated. All
of the expanding gases are confined TO
tho chamber Of the gun by means Of
the movable base Of the proiectile.
which IL retained in the muzzle OF the
weapon after the proieeuie has been
expelled.
The new gun, it was said. Is Just
twice the length of the projectile fired
and thus. can be easily transported
That is in contrast with the large
howitzers and large guns used in the
war which were difficult to transport
and We're soon scrapped after firing a
comparatively small number of shells
It is said that the new gun can easily
fire 100 projectiles before it begins TO
show any signs of wear
The weapon amazed scientists when
II was discharged in an office building
with sound resembling the click Of a
cash register. The shells used. ii wa )
stid. were capable Of wrecking the
building in which the gun was dis
charged. but they were fired at a
piece of steel and imbedded themselves
in the target.

Little Child Clings TO Father When

When Vincent Rogers was brought
into the City Court room this morn

pathetic scene. One of his three
children. boy. aged about three years,
broke away from the party who had
him in charge in the room, ran along
the aisle and through the gate and
dashing up 10 his parent clasped him
about the knees and peering up into

return 70 his fathers side.
Rogers. il developed, is suffering
from a mental affliction, according
10 his wife. which she says makes him

An Engilshman is the most faith

why does he make such a. poor
lover and such good husband?
Undoubtedly, not because Of the
superlative beauty. intelligence or
charm Of the English wife, for, al

how TO manipulate them to advan-
