"bULL'S-EYE" SPLIT
BY NEW NAVY GUNS
Superdreadnaught Maryland,
in Battle Practice, Makes
Big Record.

! ABOARD THE u. s. s. MARYLAND.
OFF SAN PEDRO, Calf, November !.
"A new chapter in the history OF
naval gunnery was written on float
ing targets by projectiles from the
superdreadnaught Marylands 16-inch
rifles, fired yesterday for the first
time in actual battle practice.
Gunners of the Maryland celebrated
the initial firing of the big rifles by
hurting a 2.000-pound projectile
straight through the bulrs-eye of the
distant target, their second shot
splitting the raft squarely in the
middle.
Targets were changed twice during
the gunnery drill. yet both sets looked
as though they had been riddled by
giant shot.
During the two runs on the target
all four turrets sent their charges TO
theS mark with startling regularity
What officers said was most remark
q BILE, however, was the fact that not
one of the gun pointers ever had hreo
a shot before. The Marylands per-
sonnel consists largely of recruits.
and more than 80 per cent OF her gun
crews are inexperienced men.

The firing was accompanied by

The short range battle practice was
only an elementary gunnery exercise,

target being about six miles. Next
spring when the battlefield returns
from winter maneuverS in the Carib-

URGES BIRTH CONTROL.
Rabbi Says It Is Only Moral Solu-
ton.

CHICAGO, November Making
children a game of chance Is immoral
and unethical. Rabbi Louis L. Mann
Of Sinai Temple. Chicago. declared
at the close of the middle western
birth-control conference. Children
by choice is the only moral solution
OF a great problem" he said.
Which Is moral, to bring chill
dren into the world hopelessly handi-
capped or to exercise God-given rea-
son and conscience. 1t is the child $
right to be well born and welcome"
The Assumption that fear Of con-
sequences is the only thing effectual
in deterring youth from immortality
Is an insult, said Mrs. Margaret San
ger of New York. She said that some
persons opposed birth control educa-
tion on that assumption.
IF you are honest only for fear of
the policeman. just how honest are
you?" she asked.
She said that she was convinced
early marriages and birth control
would cause a substantial decrease
in promfscuity.
Rev. James Austin Richards. pastor
of the congregational Church at
Winnetka, ILL.,, also advocated birth
control on ethical grounds.

Coffee usually is spoken of as a
berry or bean. but that part of the
coffee tree that we use is really the
seed. The trees grow naturally to a
height of from 20 to 90 feet. but this
natural growth is checked by the
growers, who keep the trees as low as
Eve feet.
