Won't Explode in Fire
Most loaded bullets are discharged
by a primer and are dangerous if
dropped or put in fire. To Shovic's
knowledge, his is the only explosive
bullet not discharged by a primer Of
some sort and that will not explode
when dropped or thrown to hard
surface. 1t will not explode If placed
in fire.
The bullet is made alive by the
heat and turning motion of its pas
sage through the air; why, Shovic was
unable to, or wouldn't, explain. He has
tested it time and again and has
found its explosive qualities to be COM
pletely nil if not heated and revolved
as through the natural path Of its
trajectory.
Celebrating on its explosive qualities
Shovic said they could be adjusted BY
the load Of the particular cartridge,
by its weight and by the amount of
protective covering over the explosive
chamber in the bullet.
The explosion can be timed so that
the bullet will penetrate a leather
jacket or any clothing and not explode
until it enters a persons body.
The mixing Of poison with the ex-
ploSive Is a secondary development.
Shovic worked it out through expert
mentation and said it was ineffective
without the explosive.
The explosion Of the bullet drives
the poison into the blood stream, even
on a scratch hit. It's effect is almost
instantaneous. If the explosive poison
bullet is fired through the cockpit of
an airplane and timed to explode when
1t strikes, the poison Is spread through |
the cockpit and Is fatal when breathed.
Shovic stressed that the poison wasn't
a vapor but a fog or smoke Of thou
sands Of minute particles.
Demonstrating the impact Of a poi |
soned bullet, Shovic fired one at al
fixed object. With the flash of the
exploding bullet on impact with the
object a heavy blue smoke settled |
around the object. A faint and easily
identifiable odor could be sensed sew
eral feet away in spite Of light wind.
When the explosive bullet without |
poison was fired, the flash Of exploding
powder was noted but no smoke re-
suited.
Demonstrating his bullet at the
Great Falls police range, Shovic took
several blocks Of laundry soap, some
four-by-fours cut a foot long and sew
eral empty oil cans for targets.
With a 30O6 caliber rifle he fired
an ordinary bullet into a block Of
soap. The hole through the soap was
clean and distinct. 1t was the size
Of the bullet and was only slightly
larger at the point Of exit. Shovic then
fired his explosive bullet at a block
II the same kind Of soap and it was
blown TO bits. The point of entrance
was bullet-sized but by picking up the
,oap pieces it was found that at the
Joint Of exit the hole had been about
hree inches in diameter

There are several theories about how
this can best be done. One Is the patch-

Elementary colors, like those color

neutral gray at a distance. A third
theory is simply having a plain dull
color-the idea most popular now.
Adopt Dirty Gray
The British and French developed
dirty gray-buff- black combination
so effective that it makes a ship in
conspicuous when you're leaning right
against it, and it is in general use
now. The United States navy adopted
1t recently in place of the traditional
lighter. snappy battleship gray. The
navy also is replacing its white uni
forms with drab khaki ones to enhance
obscurity.
Camouflage still is In its infancy.
1t was only a few months ago officials
discovered that color-blind men, who
had been Disseminated against for
army and navy service, actually were
because they often could see
through camouflage that fooled normal
sighted people.

USE CAMOUFLAGE
TO HIDE SECRETS
FROM ENEMIES

Making skim milk masquerade, in
the words Of the poet, as cream, is
an easy Job compared with the task
facing army camouflage experts today.
The time was, back around the World
war, when all you had to do was slap
an object with several different colors
Of paint IN irregular patterns and 1t
passed for camouflage.
To-day camouflage is, pardon the pun,
q horse Of another color.
BY the end OF the World war the
British learned that German submarine
observers were easily seeing through
their dazzle-painting on merchant
ships by means Of color filters on their
periscopes which nullified the confus-
ing effect Of the multi-colored patch
work
It took the Germans only a year
or two to get onto that, and in the
subsequent 30 years, anti-camouflage
science has progressed apace, forcing
deception into far more intricate fields.
Photos from Planes
First the knack of taking pictures
from planes was developed and, In
collaboration with the old-fashioned
parlor stereoscope, was able to expose
camouflage imperceptible to the naked
eye. You Just took before-and-after
pictures Of terrain suspected Of hav-
ing been camouflaged, looked at them
simultaneously In the stereoscope, and
minute differences In two apparently
identical pictures would Jump out and
hit you in the eye.
The tremendous progress in photog-
raphy. now In its intricate color phases,
is one Of the two chief elements IN
the camouflage problem at present.
The basic techniques Of camouflage-
Disgusting outlines, textures and shad-
ows with paints, materials and false
work-remain the same, but they have
To be q lot better to beat the mechan-
lcal detectives.
The second factor is a strategic one.

The amount Of acreage western
beetgrowers viii devote to the growing
of beets this year is of vital import
to the nation.
This was the declaration Of E. w.
Rising, executive secretary Of the
Western Beetgrowers association, in
addresses made before members Of the
Pondera Beetgrowers association at
Conrad and before members of the
Sun River Beetgrowers association at
their annual meeting on the Fairfield
project.
Rising declared that an adequate
supply Of sugar can be made available
only by great effort and by the Civ
ing Of every possible encouragement
to beet and cane growers.
He reviewed in detail the history Of
legislation intended to better the con-
dition of sugar beet growers of the
west, and Of the successful efforts to
balk such legislation by those with
holdings abroad
At hearings held in connection with
some of the proposed measures which
would have aided domestic sugar pro-

Million Ton Sugar Shortage
Predicted at State Meetings

ducers, Rising revealed that he had
Submitted figures which have not
been disputed by anyone, proving that
the minimum sugar shortage during
1942 for the continental United States
will exceed 100000 tons of sugar"
He said,
Il presented a very conservative
statement, as present indications are
that the shortage viii exceed 1000, 600
tons. We will have at best very great
shortage, taking into consideration the
fact that molasSes that would make
1900 900 tons Of sugar win be required
to manufacture alcohol, needed in the
production Of powder"
Referring to the new act governing
domestic production of sugar beets, he
said it provides basis for conditional
payments of 80 cents hundred pounds
of sugar, or an increase Of one-third.
In this area, he added, this will mean
additional payments Of about So cents
a ton of beets.
He pointed out that the secretary
of agriculture had said there would be
no acreage restrictions next year, and
that everyone who could obtain con-
tract from professor would be able
to market his beets and obtain bene-
fit payments, according to the latest
available information.
There can be no question but that
the growers must and will produce
every possible ton of beets that can
be handled by professors with present
plant capacity, he added.
''Old growers" Rising said, should
plant at least the acreage planted in
1910. New growers able to obtain con-
tracts from a professor should take
advantage Of the opportunity"
He said he was not sure Of the time
hat sugar rationing would begin, but
that he was sure that it would be
needed, because of the accelerated for
sign and domestic demand.

Montana Inventor Has Perfected
Revolutionary New Type of Bullet

George ShoYic, Great Falls inventor
has developed a bullet that he asserts
would revolutionize warfare, that Is
more deadly than a cobra and which
has. in a % caliber gun. more strik-
ing power than a bullet fired from
high-powered rifle.
Shovic has always been interested
in guns as a sportsman and by nature
Is adept with mechanical things. His
aim has not been particularly to de-
velop an instrument Of horrible death
nor one that would, If allowed by rules
Of international warfare, make such
strife countless times more terrible
than it is.
Considering that a bullet from a
3006 caliber rifle travels 270O feet a
second, Shovic knew that the initial
energy created by the bullet must be
far greater than that created when
the bullet strikes an object. Much Of
the energy is lost in flight and much
more must be wasted" so Shovic
thought, when the bullet fulfilled its
singular object How was he to make
the bullet give up its full amount of
energy and what could that energy
be used for? Shovic asked himself
those questions and went to work.
Uses Explosive Powder
Reasoning that he must add addi-
tional power to fully utilize the I'M
spent energy Of the bullet when It
strikes, Shovic followed a natural step
in his experimentation loaded the
bullet with explosive powder-the bull
let itself, not the cartridge case.
From then on. through a thousand
experimental stages, he pushed his
idea and now has reached a point I
where his bullet is a sure, swift mes /
senger of death.
His invention makes a .22-caliber /
rifle a deadly war weapon. His bullet
is a miniature long-range artillery
she'll It differs from the dum-dum or
high bullet in
that it has explosive qualities in the
lead itself
1t is more effective, too, than the
usual bullet in that if loaded with
4 poison mixed with the explosive.
wen a scratch hit is deadly. Shovic
claims many things of his invention,
'ays he can offer complete proof OF
lis claims and can demonstrate them
There are hundreds of variations,
5hovic admits of the present dunn
ium shells and explosive bullets; but
here are none, so far as he has been
lble to ascertain, of the same quail
ties as the one he has developed.
1t can be made and used only as
IN explosive bullet with great de-
tructive power or it can be used as
deadly poisoned bullet. It's time of
explosion after impact can be adjust I

LONGER EVERY YEAR

network of petroleum pipelines, gets
longer every year. In 1941 the petrole-
UNI industry added more than 4,500
miles of this unsuitable transportation
to its systems, about half Of 1t in

with national defense. The remainder
was built in the normal, continuing
expansion of the industry.
