Good Evening.
FEM. EM.

The real fun far the Occupation Troops in Japan concerned when orders given to destroy told how to destroy the equipment, just to destroy it. With opportunities such those the G. Is let their imagination hog-wild One group told to destroy four large field artillery pieces divided into two teams and made game out of it. The men placed bets on which team could blow the gun barrels farther The first crew. using what they thought was the maximum safe of explosives, managed to tear the barrel loose and hur about 20 yards When the second crew, sc entcaly" placing the amount of explosives under the second g caused it to spin in the air and then dig it's muzze the ground about 25 yards away the first destruction team began wrackng their brains for ideas They decided that by using double the amount of explosives they should be able to make the muzze spin twice in the air and travel 50 yards With fanatic geams in their eyes, they started setting the explosives When they ready the charge off, everyone took off for the nearest shelter The terrific explosion throwing up huge cloud of dust and smoke pierced by flying chunks of metal When peace and quiet regned again.
 they peeked from behind to survey the results and then slowly began pay off the bets The gun carriage and the breech end of the barrel had been torn apart but the barrel hadn't moved.

Gas Masks Increase
Storage Life of Apples

ITHACA. N. Y.-(P-The stor-
age life of apples can be increased
20 per cent by using charcoal gas
masks" in storage rooms, two Cor
nell University scientists found.
Ripe apples give off ethylene gas,
they discovered, and this gas will
make other apples in the room rip
en- much faster. Using the gas
mask principle, Drs. c. E. F. Gutter
man and r. NJ. SmOck circulated
the storage room air through con-
tainers of charcoal. The charcoal
captured the ethylene gas and
cleaned the air. Tests have been
made in actual commercial stor-
age, they said, and in a normal
year at normal prices the method
might add 100000 to growers
profits.
