GAS CHECK

electricity for years before he knew a
charged wire in vacuum would give
such brlliancy. That differential on

were abominations before genius
equalized turning speeds by a triplet
gear of utter simplicity.
Life is full of mechanical miracles.
We take them for granted.
Gas-checks belong to the class. After
four years of war every one knows
what a gas-check is. Fits in the gun,
you know. to prevent bareback or
leakage of powder gas on firing.
Breech-plug is just a round chunk
of steel threaded to screw into the
guns back end after loading. 1t is
pierced by small hole in its center.
Mushroom stem fits into this hole.
1t really looks like a mushroom just
big enough to enter the gun. When

of their passionate desire that gives
the shell its kick. Were there any
other avenue of escape never would

So breech must be sealed tight. Be

its edges protrude. They squash

But that is common knowledge. The
interesting point is historical. Naval
guns stuck over the side. To load
them muzzle-ways running-in was once

OLD INVENTIONS

EKTE LIVE too much in the present.
w We call ours a spectacular age.
We call it our age. We are wrong,
egoistically in error. And our egoism
blinds us to what has gone before.
Men marvel at the precision of
modern artillery fire. The miracle-so
they say-which makes this possible is
the aircraft spotting. Men rise high
above the target trenches and observe
directly the fight and fall of projec-
tiles. BY wireless to the guns ranges
are corrected to put the next salvo
crashing over the enemy.
"My!" we calculate with fatuous
confoundment, "how marvellous it is ~
And yet if we took the trouble to pry
a musty volume from our shelf we
could read the identical story already
half century old. When Commodore
Foote bombarded Island No. 10 in the
Mississippi river he sent up a naval
officer In his kite balloon, the Eagle.
From an altitude of some 1000 feet
the birdman (old papers used the
term) discovered that his guns were
shooting high. He signalled changes
of range until they "bulled."
We shivered and shook, or some of
us did, over the sudden submarine on
slaught which struck the World war
frightfulness. Yet our own strategists
planned and in part executed just such
a blockade along the coast of our
southern states. The U-boats used by
the Germans embodied the substance
Of American inventions.
With goose-fiesh and gloom we

studied iurid portrayals of the night
attacks abroad Yet our very own War
department equipped its signal forces
in 1868 with powerful oxy-hydrogen or
calcium lights "by means of which
force of 1000 men could work at night
as well as by daylight" A good imi-
tation of the modern star-shell could
be dropped from the aerostats. And
both white and colored signal torches
were sent up by small balloons. Final
ly the observer could telegraph direct
from his basket to the commanding
colonel five miles away.
All this taught the Confcderates to
use camouhage. They used dummy
guns and put up green branches to
conceal the real ones. In one part of
the lines 800 men were engaged in this
work.

The senate may not be impressed

favor of American membership in
the World court established by the
League of Nations Senator McCor-

South Dakota alone, have a bearing
on the World court proposal that

Senator Johnson's original issue
when he announced his candidacy
early last winter was the World
court. He denounced President
Coolidge's Endorsement of the prof.

and he called upon the masses of the
Republican party to rise in defense
of the sovereignty and independence
of the republic. Now that Senator
Johnson has had his fling and has

tiIN9 of our preSi-
dents. The first is obvious, for
it was in honor of our first presi-
dent, George Washington, that
the state was named, as a last
ing memorial to this great sol
dier-statesman. But the actual
fate of this region was due to
President Polk, and formed the
main issue in his campaign for
election in 1914.
Previous to that time, the
country north of California and
extending to Alaska, which was
then owned by Russia, was called
the Oregon territory. Claim was
laid to this region by both Great
Britain and the United States as
has been seen in the story of
Oregon. In 1918, when the boun-
Diary between Canada and the
United States was settled. this
line was definitely placed from
. the Atlantic coast to the Rocky
mountains. But no agreement
could be reached west of that,
and it was left under an arrange
ment whereby this territory was

British and Americans.
Settlers from the United
States began to come into the
Northwest in such numbers that
the United States felt that they
should own this section, which
included the present states of
: Oregon and Washington, and
British Columbia, through the
right Of possession. Agitation
in favor of actively pushing our
claims became so strong that
when Polk was nominated by the
Democrats in 1914, one of the
main planks in the party plat
form was the famous one popu-
larly called, "Fifty-four forty or
fight"
In 1916 a peaceful settlement
was made with England on a
compromise basis.
In 1858 Washington territory
was separated from Oregon. 1t
did not, however, become a state
until 1889, and then only after
thirteen years petitioning for adj
mission.

Judge Metz Now
Has Callaghan

A deal has just been consummated
whereby Judge P. w. Metz purchas-
the interest of his partner, J. d.
Mulholland, in the Callaghan, the
largest apartment house on the Hot
Springs reserve, and is TO- the sole
owner of that popular institution.
This deal is quite a large one, al
though the purchase price has not
been made public. The management
of the house will be along the same
lines that it has been conducted by
Mr.. Mulholland in the past and under
the ownership of Judge Metz it is
sure to be kept up to the highest
standard. The Callaghan, commodi-
Gus and substantially built and mod
ern in all respects, is admirably adap-
ted t othe class of people who wish
to take permanent or transient apart

MRS. ROY MULLEN
DIES IN HOSPITAL

The news of the death of Mrs. Roy
Mullen in the Powell hospital at $50
on Sunday evening came to sadden
the many friends of this good woman
who have learned to esteem her high
ly during the five years she has lived
in Cody. She was ambitious and cap
able, as generous friend and a devot-
ed mother and her place will not be
filled easily. Her death was due to
uremic poisoning from which she has
suffered a considerable time.
Anna Kramer Mullen was born in
Germany in 1873 and came to Ameri-
ca when 9 years old. She came to
Cody from Omaha where her re-
mains will be taken on Tuesday for
interrment.
She is survived by a husband and
son, Oswald, and a daughter, Irene
Mullen Larson. She has two broth
ers and a sister living in Omaha and
a brother in Idaho.
