Metal Worker Makes Pistols
 Of Auto Parts

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Sept 29 A .22 caliber rifle which shoots accurately at a quarter of mile and a homemade" .38 caliber pistol which will shoot special bullets through a steel plate one-eighth of an inch thick have been perfected by R. E. Davis of Grand Island Davis, a skilled metal worker and mechanic by trade. is a gunsmith in spare time.
 He bored the back end from a
 22 caliber barrel to fit special cartridge of that size made from a 3OO6 Springfield army rifle bullet. He attached three lenses for a telescopic sight.
 Now the gun shoots bullets which at 300 yards pierce a one-half inch steel plate. Crows, rabbits and other small game can be shot at dis tances from 300 to 800 yards. The gun weighs 12 pounds.
 For this .38 ealiber revolver, which Davis constructed from the drive shaft of an automobile and the axle of a truck, he fabricated a bullet with a hollow point which gives the projectile unusual effec- tiveness. Cast from low grade bab- bitt metal it weighs 132 grains and travel at the rate of 1,6O0 feet per second.

When they settle on a leaf they start
