With equal pride the army artillerymen point to their new anti-aircraft guns and say, “Let them climb as high as they want to, we ll bring them down. Let them fly over us with their bombs—it's just what we want and it will bring them in easy range- They cant fly high enough to escape.” Ground “Strafing” The air service points to its attack planes with each plane equipped with all machine guns for use in ground ■strafing.' The infantrymen against whom such type of planes would he uesd, pat their new type, 50-caliber machine guns and say, “Let them try. it." Each of the new anti-aircraft machine guns can pour fourth 400 shots each tick of a watch. In fact, the gun shoots so fast its explosions sound like the roar of a powerful engine. And its bullets are nearly twice the size of those used in the ordinary service rifle. The artillery is confident in the ability and power of the new three inch gum designed especially for use against raiding airplanes- This gun uses only high explosive shells and a battery of four can fire from 85 to 100 shots a minute. It also can shoot more than three miles straight up in the air. “With a few batteries of these guns in action, no raiding airplane squad-, ron that ever flew could escape," an artillery officer declared. Chrapnel Abandoned Use of sharpnel against airplanes has been abandoned by the United States Army since the World War. In its place comes a newer and more effective high explosive shell, streamlined and designed to scatter into a million piercing fragments. While the army has been devoting its chief attention to the development of weapns against air attack, it has not neglected its land armaments. Since the last war, the bureau of ordinance has improved the old 75-gun which was used so effectively by the allies against the Central powers. The old 75s had a range of 9,200 With a new projectile, designed by the army, this range has been increased to 11,000 yards. However, ordinance experts were not satisfied. They devised an entirely new 75 which can hurl a shell nearly nine miles. There is no automatic feature in the new 75 but the gun can shoot 20 shells a minute and faster. A new six-inch gun has been developed in the last five years, which army men believe will be most effective for long range bombardment, t can throw a projectile weighing several hundred pounds more than 15 ll| iles, and with nearly the same acwracy as a rifle.

BANDITS ENTER PRISON WITH TEARDIMMED EYES (COXTIMEII FROM F*«E presented the clerk with the four ' committments. “Wood.” called out the clerk and Elmer Wood stepped up to the counter. where he was divested of all his money, rings, watch and letters. He then received his convict number and a slip to admit him to the inner gate. Chamberlin, Gaither and Siniff followed in order. Receive Prison Garb The men v ere then taken to the inside gate, where they became prisoners of the state of Indiana. They were taken into another room where they received their prison garbs and. after an hour of questioning, the men were weighed in and sent to an instruction room for the rest of the 1 day. Today, each man will be assigned to a work shop and, chances are. | they will never see each other except at church meetings , and general assemblies of all prisoners. Siniff Finally Breaks "hob” Siniff. who had taken the events of the last two weeks jokingly. broke down as he entered the inner gate of the prison and he was no longer the smiling, singing care-free bank bandit. He realized he was entering a prison for the best years of his life and he showed in his eyes that he was far from happy. The other men were downcast too, but the State Prison guards in charge of them had little pity, for it was their duty to get them ready for thei rsentences. j The Indiana state prison, from the outside, is a large gray stone wall covering more than 50 acres of ground in Michigan City, but inside it is a busy workshop, where men who have • "gone wrong” are given an opportunity to show their merits and learn a trade. More Than 2,100 inmates Chairs, shoes, furniture and other commodities are manufactured, besides all the needs of the inmates. At present there are more than 2,100 prisoners at the institution. All men are dressed in light blue uniforms. Because of the overcrowded conditions, about a fourth of the men are housed in large dormitories, where each has a bed and a wooden box in which to keep clean clothes. The other prisoners are placed in single cells, each equipped with a bed, rocking chair, light and toilet. The cells are placed in rows and one lock is manipulated from a center switch, and takes care of about 10U cells. The cells are built on tiers, five high and probably 100 in length. The work buildings are similar to any work buildings and the guards are seated at various points on high l chairs to watch the men. | The criminal insane ward is walled , AVOID UGLYfIMPLES A pimply face will not embarrass you much longer if you get a package of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets. The skin should begin to clear after you have taken the tablets a few nights. Cleanse the blood, bowels and liver with Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets, the successful substitute for calomel; thei e s no sickness or pain after taking them. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets do that which calomel does, and just as effectively, but their action is gentle and safe instead of severe and irritating. _ No one who takes Olive Tablets is ever cursed with a “dark brown taste, a bad breath, a dull, listless, "no good feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad disposition or pimply face. Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable compound mixed with olive oil; know them by their oiive color. Dr. Edwards spent years among patients afflicted with liver and bowel complaints and Olive Tablets are the immensely effective result. Take nightly for a week. See how much better you feel and look. 15c, 30c, 60c,

O nthese days, they are permitted to lie free in the prison streets, which have the appearance of any other street, except at the far ends there are high walls. There is a library with thousands of hooks and magazines, and every prisoner has- access to this. The very strictest discipline is maintained at all times. History of Case On March 16, R. W. Siniff was arrested in Fort Wayne by detective i sergeants Pete Junk and Joe Brennan ' working with Sheriff Harl Hollingsi worth.
