NO FLASH IN
NEWEST POWDER
Army Officers TO Test War
Invention at Aberdeen
on Friday
HEAVIEST GUN
WILL BE USED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Flashless
gunpowder, making possible night
firing without Illuminating. one OF
the recent developments OF the army
Ordnance Corps, will be demonstrat-
ed Friday at the third annual meet
ing Of the Army Ordnance Associa-
ton at the Aberdeen Proving
Ground.
Since the invention and use OF
smokeless powder, which eliminat-
ed the locating of guns in daylight
ordnance experts have been working
to prevent similar "spotting" at
night. This has been accomplish
ed, it was learned. Night firings
with guns as large as FIVE inches. in
which the muzzle was barely visible
to observers so feet away. have been
conducted recently with no more
than a momentary dull red glow and
no illumination whatever.
This has been accomplished by in
Producing substances into the pow
der. which. when the gun is fired,
are volatilized, diluting and cooling
the hot infammable gases. Ordin-
arily, these gases burst into brilliant
! flames when they meet the air. Salt
and chloride OF potash. it is said, are
two substances used to eliminate the
I flash. II also has been demonstrat-
ed that the report is appreciably
/ descended with fashless charges.
Other features OF Fridays pro-
gram include the firing OF the
heaviest single unit OF ordnance in
/ the world" the recently perfected
16-inch, 50-calTbre gun mounted on
a disappearing carriage. The gun
measures 50 feet in length. weighs
100000 pounds, and requires $50
pounds of smokeless powder to pro-
( pei its 2,400-pound projectile ap-
proximately % miles. Although
the gun and its mount weight nearly
500 tons. 1t can be rotated through
$50 degrees by one man and elevat-
ed or depressed 80 degrees by an
other, while 1t is operative at the
rate OF one shot a minute. Special
equipment also permits the manipu-
lation OF the piece by electricity.
Another rife OF the same type has
been mounted on a barbette carriage,
permitting an elevation OF 45 de-
grees, and is expected to have a
greater range than any gun now car
ried by naval craft.
A new and enlarged Browning
rapid gun OF so calibre. intend
ed for defensive use against aircraft
and tanks, will be demonstrated
The ammunition for this weapon is
twice as large as that used in the
World War and the rate OF fire has
been greatly increased.
Self-propelled gun mounts carry
ing 75-millimeter guns and 105 and
155 millimeter Howitzers will com.
pete in races from a given point tC
the firing line, where they will oper
fire at a distant target.
Night operations will include thu
|. firing OF tracer bullets at a free bal
loon permitting the trajectory OF tn,
projectiles to be observed during
their flight.

MILFORD NOW HAS
METER SYSTEM
speclal 10 The EveninE journal.

Special to The Evening Journal.
MILFORD. oct. 5.-This week the
Light and Water Commission of
Milford placed into effect the meter
system and will soon put in oper-
alton day current. Just what rate
for current will be charged has not
been announced. The commission
has decided TO ascertain at the ex-
piration OF the month just how much
current has been used in the town
and taking the operating expenses
OF the plant for the month as a basis,
make a rate that will bring sufficient
revenue to cover operating expenses
and give some surplus for the sink
ing fund. It is estimated now that
the charges will be about IS cents
per kilowat hour with a minimum
charge OF $50. The Milford plant
is now equipped with up-to-date
machinery, the change being made
from the direct current at a cost Of
about $4,000. Since the meters
have been placed in operation. the
running expenses OF the plant have
been curtailed.

SAYS FOOLS ARE
FOR single TAX
Rosensweet Tells Arden
Philosophy Was Spawned
in Asylum
PROTESTS INCREASE
IN TOWN RENTALS

Branding the theory OF Single Tax
as ian Ism spawned in a lunatic
asylum and fools and lunatics its
propagandists," Nathan Rosensweet
OF Philadelphia, who summers at
Arden. almost caused a row at the
October meeting OF the Arden towns
people on Monday night Efforts to
have a communication from Mr..
Rosensweet tabled failed however
many of the residents siding with
him in his protest against the coll
ony's board OF assessment increasing
the rentals 100 per cent.
In his communication, Rosen-
sweet compared taxes on land along
the Philadelphia pike convenient to
good train and trolley service. with
the rentals charged in Arden was
not taken to kindly by the erstwhile
opponents Of landlordism. Mr.. Ros-
ensweet pointed out that taxes along
Philadelphia pike in the vicinity Of
Overbrook are only about one-fifth
the amount he Is obliged to pay
under the application OF the Single
Tax in Arden.
The meeting was nearly disrupted
when the Public Safety Committee,
Walter e. Sweeting, chairman, re-
ported that It would be necessary to
expend 500 for hiring sleuths to
round up disturbers OF the peace of
the colony. As the sum Of s120 had
already been spent for detective
hire for the same purpose, a number
Of Ardenites thought that it would
be useless to spend money for crime
detection when those guilty ones who
were known were allowed to escape
arrest.
It developed At the meeting that
sometime Saturday night a number
OF Arden boys had stolen the entire
flower and garden exhibit OF the
Gardeners Guild and caused the ex-
hibit to close.
The public safety committee
traced the theft to some OF
the colony's own embryo re-
formers. For the first time in the
colony's history, the names OF the
miscreants were announced in open
meeting. Apparently enticed by the
wholesome appearance of the garden
exhibit. the boys named had stolen
the whole display and held ban
quet on the edge Of Sherwood forest
A motion Of DR.. E. E. Moore to have
the boys arrested was voted down.
In spite of this report, the colon
lists we're not satisfied that it offered
a solution OF the many reports OF
homes broken into, prowlers with
fash lights. and other occurrences
during the past few weeks which
have caused much concern and were
responsible for the creation Of the
| public safety committee.
A communication, received from
william Weldin, a former detective
OF the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Tract'-n Company, seeking a job a,
constable In the colony, was referred
to the trustees.
