"Magna Charta' Liberty.

To the Editor. The Washington Hersh:
A correspondent in Wednesdays
issue wakes eloquent over the
Magma Charta. II oozes with lib
erty. it would appear. 1t is intro
duced before mentioning the Dec
laration of Independence. We must
be thankful I suppose for such a
sweet comparison. BY what stretch
of the imagination is the Declara-
tion of the God-given rights of man
comparable to the gracious grant"
OF his honorable majesty the King
of England?
l was told at school that Wash
ington lived under the Magma
Charta. Rather uncomfortably, tits
said. Was it not the Delaware that
Washington crossed with his raw
recruits to challenge the Magma
Charta? Did not the grapdfathers
OF our democracy riddle the Magma
Charta with lead? Was it liberty
laden when the Stars and Stripes
hrst foated free? Our forefathers
said of the then Magma Charta"

Admiral Magruder's
Speech Denial Accented

Secretary of the Navy DENLY has
accepted the published denial by
Rear Admiral T. p. Magruder, naval
attache at Paris. of the report in
Paris newspapers quoting him as
promising France the military aid
of the United States should she be
attacked
The admiral was also quoted as
saying that he could make this
promise because he was under no
diplomatic restraint.
Secretary DENLY said: Unless II
is shown that he really make such
remarks, no attention will be paid
to the reports. i cannot conceive
of the admiral stating that he was
under no diplomatic restraint be-
cause a naval attache is under dip

ing the empty cartridge case to re-

to the rear was against the force
OF compression Of a spring designed
TO reload the piece.
Due to variable friction between
the cartridge case and the walls of
the firing chamber the election OF
the various empty cases takes place
at different pressures and therefore
does not occur at regular intervals
or with equal ease and rspidity. To
obviate this an oiling device was
built in, consisting OF oil impreg-
mated felt pads in the breech.
The magazine feed Is Of the disk
type. interesting because friction,
which has been the great stumbling
block in this type Of feed. has been
largely eliminated by a method OF
moving cartridges by means OF .
spiral spring that can be wound
with the magazine either loaded or
empty.
The submschine gun is made
without shoulder stock or sights
for ordinary rapid fire from the hip
but can be provided with stocks
and sights if desired. IL fires full

ger is held back. but single shots
can be fred by quick release OF the
trigger after each shot. The gun

different parts Of this country.
Eventually II 10 hoped to Introduce

Rock obtained came from the
northwestern part OF Burma the

chaulmoogra tree is 'kslsw." he
stated.
While the oil has been used with

MAY DE SHOWN
UNDER DAYLIGHT,

The invention of Mr.. Hochstetter
dispenses with the celluloid films,
which have always made motion
pictures fire hazard. The films
made of paper are less costly. An
other advantage is that the f'lms
can be shown in the daylight as
well as in the dark. being entirely
independent of lighting conditions.
1t has also attached to II a motion
picture camera by which the indi-
Vidual may take his own motion
pictures. Unlike the ordinary mo-
tion picture instrument the ma
chine can be stopped for any length
of time at any period of the show
ing of the film without detriment
to the film. The entire outfit looks
much like the ordinary phonograph.
I'VE have witnessed great changes
in education" declared Mr.. Hoch-
stetter but it is evident that we
are on the threshold of even
greater. The school OF the future
will scarcely teach. 1t will do far
better. it will make the subject live
before ones eyes. There'll be lit
tie 'hooky playing from those
schools. There is no reason why
school should not be the most at
tractive place within the child's
horizon.

SEES PICTURE MACHINE
IN EVERY HOME.

But I prophesy." continued Mr..
Hochstetter. oven greater changes.
Education was originally a home
process. There is no reason why
the entire burden of the task
should be thrown on the school. 1
believe that in the future the mo-
tion picture machine will have its
place in every home by the side of
the phonograph and even in a posi-
tion of precedence to the phono-
graph. Cheap paper records will be
available. imparting instruction in
every subject and much better in
struction than that commonly re-
ceived in the schools. 1t will offer
education not only to the children,
but, what is equally important. to
the adults. We are all doing some
thing for the children and il is most
important of course that we should
care for them first. but it's time
a word was said for suffering
adults. The motion picture educa-
tor of the future will make the
benefits Of education available to
all. Each home with II will be an
academy.
The motion picture is destined
to supplant in great measure the
text book. The salesman of the
future, particularly the export
salesman. will deem it an indis-
pensable adjunct to his equipment
You will readily see for example
how much more effectively the
salesman can explain, say. the use
OF tractors in some country where
they are not commonly known by
means of such a machine.

GREATER DEVELOPMENT.
The social side of life too will
be enriched by motion pictures. In
dividuals will take their own mo-
tion pictures as they take at pres
ent their camera snapshots. The
cost of taking them will not Re

them is simple. The rise of the
motion picture has been very rapid
but we stand on the eve Of it's
greatest development"

PICTURES MADE UP
EGYPTIAN WRITING.

EerfT1AN whlTINU.
THE first writing" said F. L
Hochstetter, Of Dayton. at the Will
lard. ''as the Egyptian hieroglyphics
indicate. was pictures. Thus, the
resident of that realm in the days
Of the Pharaohs would draw a pic
ture conveying some idea Of COW
when wishing to write that word.
But the modern man when he
writes the word cow. or reads II,
sees no picture Of the animal. Time
Is too valuable for the modern man
to draw his thoughts, so he substi-
tutes a phonetic representation of
the name of the particular thing
he wishes to name.
The economy of this process is
of course evident but il Is attended
with obvious drawbacks, particular
ly in the field of education. Words
no longer convey pictures to our
minds. As a result the impressions
we receive from the written word
from books-are very often vague.

INVENTION PROMISES
AID TO EDUCATION

The motion picture as commonly
known. however, 1t was evident
was not suited for that purpose.
But the want has been supplied,
declared Mr.. Hochstetter, by an in
vention of his own, which he is
demonstrating before officials at the
Bureau of Standards. Mr.. Hoch-
stetter for many years worked un-
der Thomas Edison and has several
score important inventions to his
credit.
Seeing is believing. II is COM
monty said" Mr.. Hochstetter de-
clared. But we might go stronger
and say seeing is knowing. How
much does the average person
know about mechanisms? Ask the
ordinary person how machine
runs. Ask him the most elemen-
tary question and chances are he
displays profound ignorance. That
is because he hasn't visualized the
process. An ounce of seeing is
worth a pound OF reading about"
