association at the Aberdeen proving
grounds.
Night firing with guns as large as
i've Inches, In which the muzzle was
barely visible to observers so feet
away, have been conducted with no
more than momentary dull red glow,
and no illumination whatever.
Other features of the program
include the firing Of the "heavlest
single unit of ordnance in the world"
the recently perfected 15-inch Social
Der gun mounted on q disappearing
carriage. The gun measures 60 feet.
in length weighs 100000 pounds, and
requires $50 pounds Of smokeless pow
der to propel Its 2,4OO-pound projec-
tile approximately % miles.
Although the gun weighs nearly
sos tons, 1t can be rotated 800 de-
grees and elevated or depressed 80
degrees by another. 1t is operative
at the rate Of one shot per minute.
A new and enlarged Browning
rapid-fire gun of .50-caliber intended
for use against aircraft and tanks
will be demonstrated. The ammu-
milton used Is twice as large as that
used In the World war and the rate
OF fling has been greatly increased.

Delegate Strother Makes Confession.

There was a dramatic issue scene in
the House of Delegates of the West
Virginia Legislature last Wednesday,
when Delegate James A. Strother, Of
Welsh, Mcdowell county, for many
years leader of the pro-liquor forces
in the law making chambers of the
State, publicly deserted the "wets" and
took his stand with the prohibition
forces.
Delegate Strother, gray-haired and
slightly bent with age, arose slowly and
got permission to speak when the SEN
ate prohibition bill was before the
House for vote. His colleagues set.
tied back comfortably to listen TO the
usual attack from the former State
Senator against any move to tighten
the prohibition lines. But scarcely had
he begun to speak until his intention
TO confess conversion became clear, and

never brought me good, nor was the
fight successful.
Liquor has kept me down and pre-
vented me from acquiring the honor
that should have been mine. have
succeeded in throwing off the desire
for drink and it has made me a better
man"
Visibly affected by his confession
and shaking with emotion, he SLOWLY
resumed his seat. In an instant the
House broke out with applause. All.
though the demonstration was in yio-
latlon of House rules, Speaker Keatley
did not rap for order.
IF ! talked for hours, could no,
say as much for prohibition as the
gentleman from Mcdowell said in
few words" said Delegate S. K. Somer-
vile, of Jackson county, chairman Of
the House committee on prohibition
and lifetime prohibitionist conprat.
ulatlng Mr.. Strother on his change of
heart.
The bill passed, "a tot, Delegate Ro-
wan, OF Randolph county, voting "no."

six hundred thousand dollars in the en-
largement and improvement Of its gen
Grating station at Millvlle, the build
ing of railroad that connects its Mill

transmission line has been built from
MiIlvile to Harper Ferry, thence
along the canal 20 Weverton. thence to
Frederick. The poles have been Hrect-
ed more than one half the way to Mar
tins burg, and by the end OF the sum-
mer it is expected that the high ten
sion transmission line from Win
chester to Martinsbu.g will also ba
in operation.
In the mortgage there is conveyed
nearly one hundred and fifty miles Of
transmission lines, the generating sta.
ton at Millville. the railroad from
Millvlle to the Baltimore & Ohio, the
generating station at Cacapon near
Berkeley Springs, and all either props
erty of the company Of every descrip-
ton now owned or that NAV be here
after acquired.
The only bonds now issued are
twelve hundred thousand dollars
dated April I, 1921, bearing seven pen
cent interest, payable semi-annually,
Provision is made in the mortgage for
the issuance of bonds in the future
only for the purpose or improvements

pany and then only to the extent Of
eight hundred and fifty dollars face val
lie Of bonds for every one thousand
dollars actually expended by the COM
pany for such Improvements o. bet
terments. 1t is also provided that nc
such additional bonds may be issued
unless the net income of the COMPANY
at the time the trustee is asked TO GER.
tify the bonds shall be one AMI one
half times the interest charges for the
preceding twelve months upon al
bonds already certified and delivered
underlying bonds outstanding and
those bonds applied for.
