SILENT GUN TO SHOOT FOUR TON SHELL 200 MILES • v Gas Bombs Can* Be Hurled Across Small Countries With New Weapon. NEW YORK. July 5—A silent grin that will shoot four-ton explosive pas bombs •JOO or 300 miles at a Telocity of one to - five miles a second is in process of development by Hudson Maxim and a group of associates. The system is based on anew principle in the explosion of ordinary smokeless gunpowder. In a demonstration conducted in an office on the fifty-first floor of a New York skyscraper, a steel bullet tnree inches long and a half inch in diameter was shot through a three-quarter-inch steel plate at a velocity of one mile a second, a materially greater Telocity than has been developed in projectiles of any kind. „ The demonstration was silent, the sole 'sound being the impact of the bullet as it bored through the plate. The silencer is on anew principle and is in no way a copy cf the old principles of the Maxim silencer. The original invention is the work of Robert Temple, an English inventor. > Its ultimate application to the burling huge bombs across extraordinary distances In actual warfare has been passed on by experts and pronounced to be practical. The invention is to be applied to steel construction work. This afternoon a threaded steel bolt was driven through a three-quarter inch steel plate. The gun was in contact with the plate, and the charge was- measured so that the bolt stopped in the plate. The threads were intact and a nut was screwed on. The charge was only CO grains of ordinary smokeless powder. The gun resembles an ordinary air compression drill. Observers could easily have imagined that the force was compressed air. There was no recoil, no smoke, practically no heat. Only a faint hissing of slowly escaping gases after the discharge. It was announced that the model bad been used by divers under water for application to steel work, and that it operated as well as in the air. Sir Edgar Reek Jones, member of Parliament and former Chief of the British Ministry of Munitions, is associated with the Americans in the development of the invention. I)r. Miller Rees Hutchinson, formerly chief engineer to Thomas A. Edison, is another member of the group. Among those who witnessed the demonstration were Maxim. Rear Admiral Samuel McGowan. T'nited States Navy, and William M. former Vnited States Commissioner of Internal Revenue.

The Truth About Indianapolis 1 BOX MANUFACTURING SIXTEEN makers of paper, fibre, wooden and wire-bound boxes in Indianapolis last year manufactured more than 13,500,000 boxes of various sizes. Ranging from a tiny paper box for thimbles to fifteen-foot square export dry goods cases, the production of the boxes in this city totals an annual retail value of $7,500,000. Indianapolis-made boxes sold direct to the manufacturers of merchandise find their way to many foreign countries. A maker of wirebound boxes in Indianapolis was the first in the United States to make a box of that type. Standing timber from thousands of acres of forests and many car loads of boxboard are used by the 1,800 men and women engaged in making boxes in this city.

20 PRINCETON MEN ON JOBS TO STUDY INDUSTRY 1 Work Wherever They Can Get Berths to See How Wage Earners Live. .X > PRINCETON, July fi. -Twenty undergraduates of Princeton are spending their summer vacations working wherever they can get Jobs in order to study ’be conditions of wage earners and their relations with their employers. They are living, eating and sleeping as other laborers and wage earners. Every week they meet in groups to discuss the things they have learned and prepare a report to be given ta other college men and future employers. One of the purposes is to see if they can discover means of improving tke conditions of the wage earners. For six weeks before the university i closed, sixty Princeton men voluntarily attended a course of lectures in which they listened to speakers alternately representing the standpoint of labor and capital. They read on industrial conditions to equip them for their effort. They do not hope to revolutionize the conditions of tho wage earners but they do hope to be able to make a few suggestions to employers and capitalists. The plan was suggfaMl by Sherwood Eddy, a Y. M. C. A. secretary. j Some of the Princeton men are at work in New York, Philadelphit, Denver, Minneapolis and other cities. They agreed that none of them should accept a job if by so doing he threw out of employment another man. The committee in charge obtained positions for more than half of the applicants and ! these were given to men who were work- ! ing their way through college. The rest sought their own places. Last summer a group of California students worked in Denver, following a plan something like that which the l’riueton men are attempting.
