The first deer of the season was brought in Wednesday by Joe Riedl who with three boys, Gordon Mills Lloyd Guerin and Joe Riedi, Jr., left here Tuesday evening on the City Of Rome for the hunting grounds. The opening of the season next morning found the hunters at Greens Bay, ready to hunt, and it fell to the three boys to spot the first and only deer seen by the par ty. Each fired a shot and all took effect, but it required a final one by MT. Riedi to dispatch the anil nal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Modern man restores his lost individuality when he attends the motion picture theatres, says Dr. Franz Alexander, German psychiatrist.

DISCLOSES SECRETS
OF 75-MILE CANNON
Expert Describes Gun Used
to lombard Paris.

Chicago.-Secrets of the Big Bertha
guns that fired IS miles into Paris dur
ing the war, obtained by Prof. Fl. w.
Miller Of the University of Michigan,
were revealed by him to 1000 reserve
officers of the headquarters artillery
group Professor Miller, who was
head of the railroad artillery of the
A. e. F. with the rank of lieutenant
colonel, told how the guns were To-
Gated and counteracted during the war.
He described their structure and OPP
Grafton in detail.
Some of the technical statements
he made about the Big Berthas were:
Each shell weighed 264 pounds. The
projectile of each gun was ritled to
correspond to the ritling Of the can
non, so that the shell had to be twist
ed into the breech of the gun. Each
Big Bertha had barrel 100 feet long.
The guns projectiles had a velocity
of 5,4OO feet per second as they en-
erged from the gun, or twice the We
locity of United States army serv.
Ice rifle.
Reached Height of Forty-Eisht Miles.
The projectile travelled through the
bore of the gun in about one-fiftieth
of second, and in % seconds 1t was
IL miles high and it's velocity had
dropped to $500 feet per second. In
that altitude, at which the air is only
one-tenth as dense as on the earth,
fo, a. ho fvni oo tor
of the projectile, 1t was virtually in q
vacuum. At "a miles high it was in
zero weather. 1t reached the height
of 48 miles at the top of it's arc before
it started on the downward course.
| In firing 1t the officers had to OBJ
tain figures on the wind velocity every
hour and had to make allowances ac-
cordingly. They also had to know the
barometric pressure. 1t was necessary
to make allowance for the fact that
the earthis sphere and to estimate
the distance through the air to Paris,
instead. of the distance on land.
Four Of Big Guns Used.
The Germans had to take into ac-
count the rotation of the earth and
must therefore fire east of the target
or the target wouldn't be there when
the shell arrived. They used stand
ard elevation of 30 degrees and gagged
distance by the amount of powder
| used.
The first Big Bertha was emplaced
/ at Creepy, Is miles from Paris. The
second was at Beaumont. ca miles
from Paris, and the third was at Bru-
ceres, so miles away, and the fourth
was back at Beaumont.
The first gun was aimed at the geo.
| graphic center of Paris. 1t was fired
at 7:17 a. NJ, on March %. 1918, and
the shell hit Paris at 20 a. m. hut
killed no one. The second shell killed
eight persons and wounded thirteen.
Seven shells were fired in the next two
hours before general alarm was
sounded throughout Paris, and 3,0oO-
\ 600 people hunted shelter. That day
4 rs shells struck Paris.
4 In all, from the four positions, the
Germans sent 367 shells into Paris
which caused damage estimated al
S1O,OOO,OOO.
