Types of Cannon

Cannon may be guns, howitzers
or mortars, according to design, and
the purpose for which each is intend
ed. Guns, which have longer barrels,
fire a projectile whose path, or
trajectory, is comparatively fiat
arc. They therefore have longer
range than the shorter-barreled
howitzers and stubby mortars which
by elevation and variation of the
powder charge or both are capable
of high angle fire. They can fire
from close behind crests or from
trenches and, with their steeply
curved trajectories, drop shells into
an enemy trench. They may be said
to use a basketball technique, while
gun technique resembles baseball
throwing. Tank destroyers, with
their requirement for direct fire, are
armed with guns, not howitzers. For
instance, the American-built, 1O5-
nm. self-propelled howitzers, effec-
lively used by the British in Egyp-
tan desert battles, are not primar-
lily a tank destroyer weapon, al
though they take tank concentra-
tons under fire when opportunity Of

THE SALT OF THE EARTH

In prehistoric days, it is believed,
men first got together at salt springs,
or ticks; they started their first
industry with the handling of salt,
and got into some of their first wars
over the salt supply. But never be-
fore has salt been SO important, and
used in such quantities as right now.
This war takes lot of salt. 1t is
used, according to the Wall Street
Journal, in the synthetic rubber pro-
gram; in the making of shells and
smelling of copper, silver, and
lead ores; in drawing wire, rolling
sheet metal, treating metals, glazing
pottery, preparing bleaches and dyes,
making soda ash for glass, and pre-
pairing airport runways. Chlorine de-
rived from salt (sodium chloride) Is
needed in huge quantities for tanks,
planes, high octane gasoline, explos-
ives, smokeless powder, anti-freeze
agents, poison gas, gas masks, and
for many other purposes. Sodium is
also used in the preparation of the
wonderful sulfa drugs, vitamin cap
sules and other pharmaceuticals.
An average man consumes about
IL pounds of salt year. He gets half
of it through meats and other foods,
and half from the salt-shaker. Cattle
require some two pounds per head
month; sheep, one pound, and work
ing animals, like horses and mules,
need "a pounds month-and about
twice that much in hot weather. The
loss of salt through perspiration has
been recognized only comparatively
recently, and now the use of salt
tablets to counteract this loss has
developed to the point where bill
lions are consumed annually.
In 1941 production of salt in this
country totaled %, 500, 900, 600
pounds, worth $33,500,000. Last
year it was increased to 27 billion
pounds-about 20 percent being used
for the seasoning of foods and 80
percent for idustrial purposes. Pro-
duction is from 83 plants scattered
1t is generally mined like coal, or
pumped in brine from the salt wells.
Very little is obtained from the evap-
Grafton of sea water. The States
leading in production are, in order,
Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Lou
isiana. In the last-named State drills
have penetrated 1900 feet under
ground salt domes without breaking
through.

War Booms Olive Industry
In u. S.'s Sandy Southwest

! The global war, sitting normal
world trade and driving Uncle Sam
toward self-sufficiency, is booming
the olive industry. Production OF
virgin or first-press oil from Cali
fornia's olives now is double the out
put Of pre-war years.
New Importance for Americas
olive industry does not mean world
Importance. Franciscan Fathers
planted small groves near their San
Diego mission 40 years ago, but
the slow expansion to the present
1000, 900 trees has been confined to
California, with tiny overflow into
Arizona. Only In that corner of the
country Is the warm climate and
dry, sandy soil of Mediterranean
lands matched. California's groves,
however, normally provide only
about one five-hundredth Of the
world output Of olive oil.
Olive trees reach full bearing ma
turity In seven years or more. The
doubling Of domestic oil production
was achieved by diverting a much
larger part of the crop from pack
ing. As neither trees nor wars can
be rushed for the convenience Of ap-
petites, Americans must grin and
bear present domestic yields that
are only small fraction of the SO
million pounds of olives, 80 million
pounds of edible olive oil and 30 mil
lion pounds Of low-grade oil for COM
mercial uses imported in 1910. OF
the 1873 million pounds of olives and
olive oil imported in 1910, 81 mil
lion came from Spain, 80 million
from Greece, 20 million from Italy
and nine million from Portugal.

Early Animal Cures

A review Of early livestock books
offers perhaps the most amusing
method Of discovering the progress
modern science has made In protect
ing the health Of farm animals. For
example, a book published in 1898
tells that a greasy dish-cloth is a
good treatment for saddle sores. A
curious cure for red water in cattle
consisted of drenching them with
milk in which a red-hot iron had
been quenched. Turnip poultices
were also recommended as a cure
for all sorts of ills. One of the most
interesting comments was the sug-
gestion that the livestock owner con-
tinue to try different treatments un-
til he found the right one. And one
might adolf the animal lived long
enough.

Many States Passing Laws
For Relief of Servicemen

Servicemen and women do not
have to pay state income taxes on
their service pay nd allowances in
Arkansas, California and Wisconsin
under laws dopted by their legisla-
lures, according to the council, while
Montana deferred until six months
after the war the payment of state
income taxes by men in the armed
forces.
Nevada's legislature granted
property tax exemptions of 81 900
for servicemen-an exemption pro-
posed in many state legislatures this
year and granted by some of the
few which met last year-and Idaho
exempted servicemen from occupa-
tional licenses and fees.
Nevada also approved a measure
guaranteeing jobs of men and wom-
en- entering the armed services, and
another suspending paroles of men
in the services; Wyoming froze un-
employment benefits of servicemen;
Montana permitted servicemen to
vote, granted free tuition to all units
of the state university to veterans
of the present war, and acted to pre-
vent cancellation of voting registra-
tons of servicemen.
Vermont appropriated $1,00O,0O0
from state surplus funds to pay
monthly bonuses of $40 to Green
Mountain boys in the army, navy
and marines.

PREVENT LOCKJAW

whenever flesh is punctured or
torn think of tetanus-Or lOckjaw,
as it is often called and take pre-
cautions against it," DR.. r. HI. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health, reminds the barefoot boys
of Maryland and their parents. "A
dose of tetanue anti-toxin should be
administered Immediately to prevent
the possible development Of lockjaw.
when boys, or girls, yield to the
hot-weather temptation to run about
minus shoes and stockings they run
the constant risk of stepping on a
nail or running a splinter into their
feet, injuries which puncture and
tear the flesh. Such deep, closed
wounds are favorite sites for the en-
try and development of the tetanus
germs that Turk about in the dirt of
city streets and country lanes, as
we'll as in the manure-contaminated
earth surrounding stables.
when the barefoot youngsters
handle shot guns or air rifles they
run double risk. Injuries from shot
and explosives also produce the type
of wound in which infection with
the germ that produces lockjaw is
common.
Every person who acquires such
wounds from nails, splinters, explo-
sives or other causes should be taken
to the doctor promptly for inocula-
tion with tetanus anti-toxin. This
shot opposes the action of thegerms
that may have entered the body and
prevents a possible case of lockJaw
from developing. No matter how
slight the injury may seem or how
small the would the anti-tetanus Sc
rum is strongly advised. Take no
chances with a disease that is dan
gerous and very often fatal. The in
lection can do no harm, and you may
be very sorry if you don't take this
precaution.
Local treatment of the injury Is
also in order. Thorough cleansing
by physician is the first need. Then
the wound should be kept clean and
kept open; because air kills the
germs that can produce lockjaw
when they are allowed to thrive in a
closed punctured wound or in ragged,
torn flesh"

WARTIME HIGHWAY LAWS

This year "A States out of the 4S
held legislative sessions, and most OF
them made contributions to wartime
highway transportation by relaxing
restrictions, lowering speed limits
and adopting reciprocity provisions.
In Is States extraordinary powers
were granted Governors or other
State authorities, to modify or sus-
pend highway acts which might In
terfere with vital wartime transpor-
tation. Practically all of them low
cred the speed limit to save rubber
and gasoline. Generally the limit
was set to So miles an hour, but some
Western states, accustomed to high
speeds, were more liberal. New Mex
leo, for instance, limited trucks to
SO miles an hour, while Montana
set a 6O-mile-an-hour limit during
the day, to be decreased to 65 miles
at night
To cope with the manpower short

Paints Must Be Dull

Paint used on war equipment Ii
largely dull, to avoid highlights that
might attract the attention Of the
enemy. Paint manufacturers could
easily make dull paint, but it was
found that dullness alone was not
enough for some of the wartime uses.
For example, a type Of dull paint
might not reflect telltale light from
a given angle Of view, but would
reflect 1t from larger angles. Conse-
quently, paint chemists were called
upon to make paint that would be
dull at all angles. They solved the
problem and now are using instru-
ments known as glossneters, sheen
meters and goniophotometers for
measuring the reluctance factors Of
dull paints at all angles In Incl
dence.

about 80 per cent of the projects
undertaken are for government and
military agencies. Of this war work
of the Laboratories, for both the
Signal Corps and the Navy, almost
nothing can be said at the present
time. For the most part it consists
in the development of new and i'm
proved electrical devices of all sorts.
Close contact is required between the
Army and Navy and the personnel of
the Laboratories involved, and the re-
suits reflect the whole-hearted cooper
alton that has prevailed.
An important project of the Bell
Laboratories is a School for War
Training which has been organized to
train men in the installation, opera
ton, and maintenance of communica-
ton equipment manufactured by the
Western Electric Company. Here, al
so, are trained the instructors for
Army and Navy schools. Forty men
are engaged continuously in this work.
Classes are held every day and the
school has graduated more than 1900
men to date. By the nature Of their
work, the Bell Telephone Laboratories
and the Signal Corps are closely
allied.

cate, highly efficient and enormously
extended communication systems that
interlink all of the units of mechan-
lied war. The Bell System has played
an important part in the building up
of military communications, and in
the great widening of the facilities
that is now under way. 1t is continu-
ing and will continue the high stand
ards of quality, initiative and dispatch
that has marked its efforts in the past.
In June 1860, the Signal Corps was
organized. Except for the primitive
methods that had been used for cen
turies-such as messengers, hello
graphs, and smoke signals-the only
medium of rapid communication was
the telegraph, which was still in the
infancy of its development. With the
greatly improved and expanded COM
munications facilities Of the present
day, including radio in all it's forms,
the Signal Corps is playing a far
greater part than ever before.
Since World War I the Bell System,
with it's extensive research and de-
velopment groups and it's large reser-
voir of trained communications crafts
men, has made substantial contribu-
