Gonzales and 100 soldiers are on their way to Chihuahua from Juarez with 600,000 pesos in silver with which to pay Trevino'B troops, whose loyalty began to waver when they were paid In Carranza paper money.

3-INCH SHELL

PUT ON EXHIBIT

Intricacies of a three-inch shrapnel shell complete except guncotton, powder, percussion caps and fuses, stumped Frank Macke, Main street merchant, who received the loan of the shell from a friend. The shell is one of scores which Richmond men are helping to make in Dayton factories. It bears seven or eight Russian inspection marks. y The shell is eleven and one-half Inches long and weighs 14 pounds. It is loaded with 300 shrapnel balls. Its

value when it leaves the factory before it passes through several profit sharing companies on its way to the Russian government, is from $12 to $15. Lasts Only Few Minutes "It is incredible that so much time and skill is required to make a pro

jectile which has a life of only a few seconds after it leaves the gun," said Mr. Macke today. He expects to exhibit the shell after receiving a full explanation of its working parts. The shell consists chiefly of the case of solid steel, surrounded by a soft copper band near the base for rifling purposes. The circumference of the band is the same as that of the case nearest the nose. In this way there are only two points of contact with the rifle. The case really consists of two parts but the connection is ground to invisibility. It is at the connection that the shell separates and sends out its conical shower of shrapnel balls. The timing device is part of the aluminum head. It is marked like the combination dial of a safe, the marks indicating probably kilometers, Mr. Macke said. Taken out, the timer

is a fiat piece of grooved aluminum which provides space for extra fuse when the explosion of the percussion caps is to be delayed by greater distance of the enemy's trenches.

"Greatest Team in America"

This is the University of Pittsburg team. Left to right they are: Herron, right end; Seldel, right tackle: Sies.

right guard; ThornhilL left tackle; Carlson, left end. Backfield left to right: De Hart, quarterback; Morrow, halfback; McLaren, fullback; Hastings, halfback; Coach Glenn Warner standing back of team.

Look 'em over, men. For here you see the eleven which football experts are united in terming "the greatest football team in America." Some go as far as to say it is the greatest of all time. Yes, that's right; it's the University of Pittsburg crew which has created a sensation and more during the past three seasons. Pitt was unknown outside its own neighborhood until 1914. Then it proceeded to football in a way that has startled the country.

It lost one game in 1914 and it hasn't

dropped a game since. It has tackled the most powerful foes it could find,

and beaten them to a frazzled pulp. In 1914 Pitt won eight of its nine games, rolling up 207 points against 38 by its foes. Among its victims were Cornell, Penn State, Navy, Georgetown, Carlisle and Dickinson. The team which beat it was the great W. & J. eleven of that year. W. & J. in 1914 came within one point of winning from Harvard. Since that day Pitt has

not been beaten. It romped through 1915 without suffering defeat And now in 1916, Pitt is doing likewise. It has played five games and won them all. Syracuse, Pennsylvania and Navy have been listed among those beaten, . Is it any wonder that Walter Camp, Bob Folwell, the Pennsy coach and hosts of others equally prominent in the work of football, have risen up and chorused: "Pitt's got the greatest eleven in America."

MURRAY One diminutive comedienne proved to be "the whole show" at the Murray last night when a packed house greeted ,'My Honolulu Girl." As Miss Ima Nutt, this tiny actress drew warm expressions of appreciation from the audience. The chorus, which by the way worked hard, endeavored by a peculiar "cerebral movement"- to reproduce the famous Hawaiian hula hula dance. Three native Hawaiians presenting numbers on instruments from their native land stood out as bright spots In the evening's entertainment. Work of the rest of . the cast acentuated the clever work of the little comedienne.
