Just a Bee Sting

yard of his home, James Mclean,
eleven, Of 254 Robb street, suddenly
was conscious of a singing sensation
in the region of his LETT hip and he
suspected that a bee had invaded his
person and operated upon him. Ills
Investigation, however, disclosed to
him a steel-jacket bullet lying or the
ground. 1t had struck his hip, but did
not penetrate his clothing. Police

parently the bullet that struck James

Demonstration of Latest Infantry
Arm at Aberdeen Meets
Government Tests.

Washington.-Every doughboy may
be practically a machine gunner in fu-
ture wars due to progress made by
ordnance experts in developing q
semiautomatic shoulder rifle to replace
the regular service magazine guns.
Recent demonstration firing with
the latest postwar model, the Garand
semiautonatic, at the Aberdeen (Md.)
proving grounds, has convinced many
officers they are on the roa to the
io~ng-sought solution of the proper
weapon for the infantry.
The Garand, named after it's inyen-
tor, John G. Garand, long employed at
the Springfield arsenal, is one of nu-
merous semiautomatics with which
army experts have been working.
1t is approximately the same size
n weight as the army standard
Springfield magazine action rife, with
which all American forces are
equipped, said to be the most effec-
tive military rifle In the world. The
Springfield, however, with operation
Of the bolt action necessary to reload
for each shot, has a maximum rate Of
fire of about twenty-five shots a min
ute, while the Garand developed a
speed Of sixty shots a minute during
the firing at Aberdeen.
Like 1908 Springfield.
In many respects the new gun is an
exact counterpart Of the 1908 Spring
field and it is lighter than the modified
Enfield produced In quantity during
the war. The automatic device ap-
plies only to the breech action for the
purpose Of ~ejecting shells and reload
ing.
1t is necessary to pull the trigger
each time to fire.
In the tests at Aberdeen a War de-
partment memorandum says
"This gun was fired with great sue
cess and 1t at once became a matter
of great interest to those who are
watching 1t because of its possibilities
for rapid, accurate and sustained fir
ing from the shoulder, though being at
the same time a light, portable gun
which can be carried without fatigue
to the individual soldier"
AT another point the memorandum
said the performance of the Garand
d severe tests as to endurance
promised Ito fulfill the many require
ments that win be imposed upon it."
Still to Be Developed.
Results thus far" concludes the
memorandum. Justify the belief that
a weapon Ca semiautomatic
rifle can be suitably deveI-
oped and manufactured to replace the
wellknown magazine-fed hand-oper-
ated shoulder rifle"
Semiautomatic guns have beer used
sporting purposes for years, but
mechanism suitable for military
purposes has been produced. The
Is still in it's DEVELOPMENT
but there is no doubt that
experts expect 1t ultimately
to replace the Springfield.
What changes in tactics will result
not yet been worked out.
With the infantry equipped to de-
nearly three times its present
maximum volume of fire, however, and
With infantry companies relieved Of
he job of packing ~present-day auto
rifles to the front and being
greatly slowed down in movement
hereby, it is obvious there will be
changes In battle tactics when
he new gun is issued.

With the present price prospects
it is evident that the Palouse farmer
operating on a small scale and doing
his W work, is going to be in the
best financial condition this fall.
When we hear Of abandoned farms
and discouraged farmers in less fav-
ored sections than the Palouse, we
wonder why it would not be better
for the farmers in these districts, and
also for the present Palouse farmer,
if the Palouse farms, where almost
anything can be produced, were cut
up into 80 or 100 acres, with each
man farming his own AND intensively,
and producing a variety of products.
The Palouse country would provide
for additional thousands of people,
who could live here in comparative
comfort and be reasonably prosper
Gus. There is nothing just now to
indicate that prosperity is even over
the hill for the extensive wheat far
mer.

Professor Howard of the Northwest
university probably knew what he
was talking about when he said that
delinquency among young men in
college is due to late hours, idleness
and lack of responsibility. The boy
who goes to college without knowing
what he is there for, is not likely to
take the matter very seriously, or to
get the good hat his parents and his
instructors would wish. In such
cases he would probably be better off
learning a trade which would make
him self supporting. There is moth
ing finer than a good education for
the young man who will appreciate
and make use of it. The education,
however, will not change the DISPOSE
ton of the individual, or make him
a success If he is not willing to work
and assume responsibility in connec-
ton with it. Every school has the
irresponsible young person to deal
with.

A somewhat serious automobile
wreck, in which eight persons were
involved, occurred near Boise last
Thursday as a result of an ordinary
honey bee desiring to become too in
innate with the nose of the driver,
causing him to lose control of his
machine and go over an embankment.
The man at an automobile wheel can't
afford to let even a bee take his
attention away from the main issue.

A COWBOY SAYS SWAT RANGES
What to do with Germany presents
a problem as difficult as ever.
If we make it possible for her to

If we let her up, she will over
