Students of ballistics bcllove that the
long range of the German gun at I-non,
which is firing; on Paris, is obtained by
sending the projectile so high In the air,
that a rarefied strata Is reached, which
offers little Veslstance to It. Twenty
years sgo Col. Ingolls estimated that If
a gun were elevated at 4t degrees
and the proper velocity obtained the
shell would rlso eighteen miles In the
air and that It would fall to the earth
forty-nine miles from where fired, The
colonel explained that this enormous
theoretical range was due to the fact
that the high Initial velocity of the

Mrs. Jarr. "I suppose our allied armies
will have them, too, and then there will
be something

women to do."
"Why, you don't

Mr. Jarr.
"I see nothing

when I was visiting at Uncle Henry's

Aunt Hetty told me that she used to do

she had harvest hands. All she did was
to make a fire In it out Of wood. Then
she'd rake the Are out when the big

"But whst has an outdoor, old-fashioned
bakeoven got to do with the Ger

the bewildered Mr. Jarr.
"I am telling you that." replied Mrs.
Jarr. "Women used to attend to those

(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.)
Melville E. Stone, general manager of,
the Associated Press, made a confession,
In his talk at the St. Douls club last
night, that he had not believed before
the war that there was going to be any
war
"I had spent years on that question,"
he said. "The late Joseph B. McCullsgh,
of St. Louis, said the true newsgauierer
for the battlefield then." .
"Fine Idea!" said Mr. Jarr. scornfully, waa tha man who knew where hell was

the ordnance department, long-distance,
gun division, will be sending MaJ. Doug,
las McKalg around to the neighbors'
back yards delivering long-distance guns
to the ladles?"
"I don't see why not," Mrs. Jarr 're
plied. "I'm not strong enough to work
in an ammunition factory, and I want to
do some reel war work."
"Well, it will be some time yet before
the ladles will be able to do their house
work interrupted only by running to the
yard or to the roof to feed another shell
to the long-distance gun, which every
well-regulated home Will have charge
of." said Mr. Jarr. "Meanwhile, I think
you ladles who long to minister to the
mysterious gun that shoots 'em far away
will have to stick to war knitting and
writing comforting and cheerful letters
to your adopted soIbMers."
Mrs. Jarr gave a sniff of protest. "My
eyes are weak and my Angora are sore
irom Kniiung, sne remarked, "ana as
on tha snot. Well. I didn't have a man
on the spot, because I didn't believe hell
was going to break loose.
"In a talk with Prince Henry of Prus
sla a year after his visit to the United
States, I spoke of the strain between
England and Germany. He alluded, In
replying, to the stouy that the toast 'To
the Day was drunk in the German navy,
and said: 'Even though we Intended it,
do you think we would allow the men in
the mess to declare war on Britain?"
"Soon after, I talked with the kaiser,
and we had a lengthy discussion. He
said several times that his view was
that the logical alliance should be be

Germany, against the Latin powers.

Mr. Stone told of the Investigation con

Teamwork Necessary.
Mr. Fords statcnwnt pleads not
only for more Inventiveness in war
methods, but deals with the labor sit
uation at home and the profiteering
problem.
"Many war plante are having labor
troubles because the men know that
the business is built on a speculation
for a quick profit and will be dropped, "
he said. "Corporate and business lead
ership that measures Its success by
war profits cannot object If workmen
take the same viewpoint Profiteer
ing breeds distrust and antagonism.
Yet today smooth teamwork between
labor and leadcrnhlp is needed for the
very life of our nation."
The statement follows. In part:
' "We Americans can win the war
but only If we throw the whole weight
of our Industries and tool power Into
the balance. This war Is the greatest

known. The side that musters the
best machinery will win. We do not
yet realise that our problem centers
in the management of factories and
the fullest use ot machinery; nor have
we organised to concentrate our la.
