the day coach and, brandishing two
revolvers, forced the porter to ac-
company him into the car The pas
sengers were commanded to line up
in the aisle with their hands in the
air, while the negro searched them.
After the last passenger had been
relieved of his money, the man pulled
the bell cord and alighted from the
train as it came to a halt

encountered by the detective, who
had watched the maneuvers from an
other coach. but did not fire, fear
ing that he might hit one of the pas
sengers. The detective who was
armed with two guns fired both Of
them at the bandit. The man return
ed the fire as he escaped under COW
er of darkness.

Air Service Leads "Hand to
Mouth" Existence, Navy
Officer States

Washington, Oct. 1.-R-Naval
air officials told the presidents air
board today that there is a persist
cncy among junior officers to freely
express their views before investi-
eating bodies.
Existence of this condition was
charged yesterday by Col. William
Mitchell, instgator of the present
aircraft controversy. 1t was devel-
oped by Senator Bingham of Con-
necticut, in questioning witnesses,
the first of whom, Lieutenant Com
mander r. r. Paunack, of the naval
bureau Of aeronautics, urged crea-
ton of a separate air, corps in the
navy, and recommended an advanced
school for training naval air officers.
About 60 or 20 per cent of naval
fliers he said. favor separate air
corps, but the desire for an inde-
pendent service has "faded away" en-
tirely.
Much dissatisfaction exists, he con-
tinued, however. present because pi-
lots want control Of the aviation af-
fairs placed in the hands of flying
men.
"The naval air service force leads
a hand to mouth existence, and is
short of personnel and equipment"

IRRIGATION

Williston Development Prof.
ect Will Go Under
Hammer
BEGAN PROJECT IN 1906
Hope to Induce Federal Gov
ernment to Take Money
for New Project

Hope that the government can be
induced to take the money to be re-
ceived from the sale Of Williston ir-
rigation project, which will go un-
der the hammer tomorro for use
in developing an irrigation project
on the Mouse river in McHenry
county was expressed here today by
George H. Mcmahon. state irriga-
tion engineer.
The Williston project, which was
organized in 1906 was closed last
year. Overhead expenses were too
high to make it's operation profit
able. Mcmahon said. Another factor
was that farmers in the vicinity new
err took full advantage of the oppor-
tunities which the project offered.
1t was intended to irrigate $4,000
acres. The maximum under culti-
walton at one time was 2,8OO acres
and in 1924. the last year the pro-
ject was operated, it was 1,lOO acres.
Failure of the Williston project
cannot be construed as meaning the
failure Of irrigation in North Dako-
ia or the northwest" Mcmahon said.
AS organized it was 30 per cent a
power project and 10 per cent an ir-
rigation project and governmental
restrictions made it impossible for
the entire property to be operated
on the most efficient basis.
A group of Williston men are re.
ported to be prepared to bid in the
property which has been supplying
electric current to the city from the
reclamation project power plant.

MACHINE MAKES
100000 SHOT
PER MINUTE
By NEA Service

Redcliffe. Eng, Sept. so.-Many
men have made fortunes because of
their close observation of natural
laws.
For instance, a Britisher in the
eighteenth century, after noticing
that rain drops and hail stones
were round. conceived the idea that
if he could drop molten lead from
distance it would form small
round beads Of lead.
The experiment was tried out and
Watts is said to have made for
tune in the manufacture Of shot.
Modern machinery now enables
makers to turn out half million shot
a minute.
The molten lead is shifted through
a screen with meshes of the size de-
sired. and permitted to fall 200
feet.
A vat of water at the foot of the
tower catches the pellets. cooling
them. The pellets are dried and
passed through sorter. Finally
they are put into revolving box of
black lead, which gives them the
finished rounding touch and polish.
