"O the editor: A little while ago
they was a convention of sur
geons in Chicago and every
Il body naturally supposed that
they would cut up something terri

most and deepest incisions.
Well when the boys was deprived OF
their usual razor edge modes of ad-
dress why they was nothing left for
them to do only talk and amongst
the first to get UP was surgeon from
Toronto that has been making a
study Of the thyroid gland. This gent
expressed the opinion that If the
proper kind of attention was give to
the thyroid gland, the next generation
of people would all be six footers

Well / don't pretend to know moth
ing about the thyroid gland or what
effect it has got on a persons highth
but the brother experts that heard
the speech did not seem to think they
was anything wrong with 1t and it
was the sense of the meeting that
this was the proper time to begin
paying attention to the thyroid gland
and everybody of both sexes that is
born from now on will be six feet tall
as soon as they get their growth.
Now to a big majority OF light
thinkers this may not seem a matter
of no great Importance and in fact

value is obvious.
IN order for the individual citizen OF
the United States to carry out his
responsibility in regard to national
defense. 1t Is necessary for him to
keep himself informed. Following out
this idea. the ordnance department at
times gives exhibitions at the Aber-
deem proving ground, to which are in
v:reG engineers and business men
whose cooperation is necessary if the
American science of ordnance Is to
keep pace with our other industrial
sciences.
On October 26. an exhibition was
given for the Army Ordnance Asso-
citation and the American Iron and
Steel Institute. Among those present
at this meeting were the assistant
secretary Of war, the chief of ord
nance, Benedict Crowell, assistant
secretary Of war during the war;
Judge Gary and Mr.. Farrell of the
United States Steel Corporation: Mr..
Schwab of Bethlehem Steel and many
others prominent in trade and busi-
ness. About a thousand people Were
present and all seemed much inter
ested In the demonstration. During
the luncheon there were several shor,
speeches and the prevailing sentiment
seemed to be that all were willing to
cooperate to the fullest extent fol-
national defense.
On October 80 there was another
exhibition. which was given for the
Society of American Military Engi-
neers. the American Society of Civil
Engineers and the American Insti-
tute of Mining and Metallurgical En-
gineers. There was a gathering of
engineers from Washington, Phila-
delphia, New York and as far west as
Chicago. s. NJ. FELTON,, president OF
the Chicago Great Western Railroad
and Gen. w. C. Langfitt. appeared
much interested In the proceedings.
During the last war, Mr.. FELTON, was

manufacturers material has been
proved by test to be fully up to the ex-
pectations which were indicated by the
| experimental lot.
When a manufacturer Is making de-
livery of ammunition on a War Depart
| ment order a small percentage Of each
lot is sent to Aberdeen for test, to see
that all deliveries are up to standard
quality.
One Of the safety problems on which
the ordnance department Is working at
present is the development Of a fuse for
the 2,OOo-pound aerial bombs. The fuse
must explode the bomb II 1t is dropped
| on the enemy, but must not explode II
the bomb Is dropped accidentally. or II
1t becomes necessary for the aviator to
drop 1t on account Of engine trouble. In
order to work this out experiments are
| made by dropping the bombs from an
elevation of 5000 feet.
Largely as a result Of work which
was done at the Aberdeen proving
ground the range of the six Inch sea-
coast gun was increased from $4,000
yards before the war to &c, 900 yards at
the present time. The range was thus
more than doubled by giving to the pro-
jectile new shape, giving to the gun
greater elevation and using powder
of better ballistic qualities. Such re-
suits are not obtained without spending
considerable money on experimental
work. AS an asset to our nation In
time Of war, such results are well worth
the price.
Even in industry we occasionally
have accidents where explosives are
used. The work at Aberdeen Is not
entirely without danger. but the num-
ber Of casualties to date has been small.
During the war the army contingent
at Aberdeen had the usual Army de-
sire to go overseas and see action; but
an Army cannot fight without good
guns, and it was the function Of the
force at Aberdeen to see that Ameri-
can troops had the best guns possible.
