DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING-

THESE late winter, early
Il spring days are marked for
most Of Us not so much by the
finding of the first crocus or the
umbrations Of the ground hog

OF Ring Lardner's plays in which

Il at the villain of the piece.
For your chronic coughing and
your hoarseness all originate in
your larynx. your voice box,
that thing in the middle of your
neck. your Adams apple.
Now the larynX is a very COM

Under this system there is no

which is, to say the least, un-
intelligent and foul citizenship.
THE slogan, Votes for Sol
l. diers." in connection with
the Green-Lucas bill is absolute
humbug. No one is against
votes for soldiers, just as no-one
is against winning the war. No
one is opposed to a bill in Con-
gress, within our constitutional
structure, which will facilitate
the voting by soldiers in the
next election.
The issue in the Green-Lucas
bill is not votes for soldiers. but
whether the national election Of
1914 is to be Tammanyized as
an incident of the war. The
Green-Lucas bill, as at present
written, would Tammanyize the
election.
II would do more than that:
II would deprive each sovereign
state of this American Union
of its constitutional right TO de-
termine which of its residents
shall enjoy the privilege of cast
ing a ballot.

Workers, the American Union

cause American history is alien
to them.

American citizen, namely.

within the American Union.
They are not as interested I'm
their own state as they are IN
the fate of Galicia and in the
future government of Spain.
So they blindly sign petitions
TO Congress without reading
them and without knowing what
they are about.

FAntiaircraft Gun

ERIE PROVING GROUNDS. LA
CARNE, Ohio, June 29.-Capable OF
outreaching the highest flying
bombers, new antiaircraft giant
is being used by the United States
Army to clear the skies of enemy
planes.
Army ordnance experts at this

took the wraps from the 12O-milli-
meter antiaircraft cannon, bigger
by far than any other similar arm

Newsmen saw a demonstration of

gul is an automatic rammer, which

adjusts its fuse and rams home a
semifixed charge of powder.
Assembled in Grand Rapids, Mch..
the Gun costs more than $100, 900 per
unit. Col. F. E. Rundell, commander
of the proving grounds, said.
Described by one officer as "a box
of brains and 10 strong backs" be-
cause of its highly secret control
mechanism and crew of 10, the gun
has been in combat, although no de-
tails are available on its perform
ance, Col. Rundell asserted. Proof
firing and testing of the gun was
begun several months ago.
Biggest Army antiaircraft weapon
previously used was a 80 MN. gun
which sent a projectile less than
half the size of that fired in the
new unit to a height of about $4,000
