Electric workshop specialists.

WHILE the telescope of the

plane in flight, the gun director
buSies itself with rapid electri-

In the demonstration an army
plane flew. as if il were an
enemy bomber: just then four
anti-aircraft guns began to fol-

the moving plane. AS telescope

shouted Fire."
The guns did not fire; but the
closing of the shell fuses and
other operations which natu-
rally occur in firing were car
ried out with precision.

A CHRONIC pcssimist was

There are three ways that
germs can be spread so as 10

by injecting water supplies and

lie. And. Of course. we have the
black market, for which the
public itself is 10 blame.
Ii seems improbable that any
great fortunes will be made by
any considerable number Of per-
sons out of profiteering in this
war because of the price restric-
tons and the high taxes.
In the black market, the most
money is being made by I'M
scrupulous combinations hand
ling whisky. Here the revenue
and the risk runs very high, but
among legitimate whisky men
there is the feeling that the FBI
is not asleep and that q day OF
reckoning is coming for the
racket boys.
THE old-time liquor racketeers
i have learned much since
prohibition days. But a lot OF
Johnny-Come-LatelyS have come
into the whisky black market
willing TO run risks for the huge
returns involved. 1t is these
fellows who are operating high,
wide and handsome.
The spirit Of profiteering Will
always manifest itself In this
country in time of war. Some
times il runs ahead of patriot
ism. II is not above clipping
the fighting men in myriad of
petty ways. However. l can not
say that this spirit is peculiar
TO the United States. II seems
10 be everywhere there Is war.
Our press correspondents with
the armies in the field often
mention the sharp practices OF
the trades people and the civil
ians generally on our soldiers in
the very areas we liberate. II

their beginnings in World War /
which produced one of the most
