THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1913 3 NEW RANGE FINDER IS TO BE ADOPTED SOON Ordnance Department Adopts Recommendation of School of Musketry WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.—Upon rec ommendation of the school of musketry at Port Sill, Okla., the army ordnance department has adopted a new range finder which is accurate in its record of distance within 2 per cent up to 2,000 yards. Already fifty of these new devices have been ordered for use by infantry and cavalry regiments, as Tvell as a dozen larger ones for use by th© field artillery, and this number will be further increased until there is one for each company of troops. By means of these new instruments ord nance officers believe that a consider able -increase in the exxcctive fire of troops in battle will result. Experts in the ordnance bureau point out that it is Impracticable to guess ac curately at an enemy at a distance be yond 600 yards. The tests made by the officers who recommended the adoption of the new finders simulated service conditions as closely as possible at distances from 600 to 2,800 yards for Infantry fire and at distances from 2,500 to 6,500 yards for field artillery fire. The device which now becomes part of tne army equipment Is a form of telescope having two object glasses and two side windows at each end of the cylindrical tube, the common eye piece being in the center. The rays from the object enter the side windows and are deflected by prisms in rear of the win dows through the object glasse. Two prisms in the center reflect the two Images through th© common eye piece, one image being seen above and the other below a horizontal line'which passes through the center of the field of view. The images are brought into coincidence by the revolution of one of the prisms. The instrument being in adjustment, the image in coincidence, the range is read from a scale, depend ent upon the amount of revolution of the prism. This range finder is manipulated upon a tripod and the board of officers recommending it suggests that one jnan be detailed to carry th e instrument While another transports the tripod and adjusting bar.

Currency Bill Inspires New Hope in Working Man "This Measure Kills Panics and Raises Great Bulwark to Protect the Man With a Dinner Pail Against Horrors of Unemployment,” Says Edmund D, Hulbert BY KENNETH WILCOX PAYNE. CHICAGO, Dec. 29.—“It is a new proclamation of emancipation—the American wage-earners’ emancipation from the slavery of fear—that Presi dent Wilson signed when he wrote his name on the new currency bill!” Edmund D. Hulbert, vice president of the great Merchants’ Loan and Trust company, of Chicago—the man said to have been an intimate advisor of the president on currency problems, and who is being mentioned for member of the federal reserve board—made this answer to the following question, which is up permost now in the mind of the Ameri can people: “Just how, in plain, simple terms, does the passing of the currency bill af fect us—jthe earners of the weekly wage, the carriers of the dinner pail?” “Why, it is just that—the effect of the new currency system on the poor man’s pocketbook—which is the one sure thing known about this bill!” exclaimed Banker Hulbert. “We are hearing intricate arguments about its effect upon business, upon the banker, the manufacturer, and the in vestor. And while the arguers disagree on these points there is one thing upon which all are in accord, and that is that the bill will benefit immeasurably the workingman of America! DEATH KNELL OF FEAR. “The passing of the bill means that the bitter blow which used periodically to hit the poor man square in the face— the blow of being thrown out of work indefinitely—will fall no more! It is the fear of that catastrophe—ever pres ent in the wage earner’s mind in former years—from which the new currency bill emancipates him. “We all know how, every few years, the gaunt orgre, Financial Stringency, has stalked grimly about our country. Each one of us has felt his talons. But while he has merely hampered and wor ried the wealthy man, he has actually gone right into the poor man’s home, taken the bread from his children’s mouths, and the warmth from his fire place. “For it is the poor man who has been thrown out of work by the shutting down of factories. And, out of work, he has found himself face to face with these two elemental enemies which no human being living in civilization ought ever to be forced to contend with—star vation and freezing cold. “It was only a few years ago, during the panic of 1907, that these things hap pened. Hundreds and hundreds of plants shut down, let their fires go out, and laid their men off. Yet there was no over production. There was hardly an article being made in those factories which was not widely needed throughout the coun try. Then why did the plants shut down? , GIVES ELASTIC SYSTEM. “Why, simply because the manufac turer couldn’t get enough hard cash to pay their employe’s pay noils! The na tion was in the situation of a wealthy man who enters a fine restaurant—ana finds he has left all his money at home! The man has all kinds of wealth right on him, invested in jewelry and clothing —yet he hasn’t a single cent of cash witn which to pay for a square meal! So with the employers, in times of pan ic like that of 1907. They couldn’t find the currency with which to pay their men—and all the time the country was really rich in all those manufactured goods, which currency represents! “The wage earner was laid off. And, not only did his wage cease, but the banks suspended payment, and he couldn’t get at his small savings! “These are the conditions which the n^w currency bill surely will prevent in the future. The secret of its operation lies in the provision for the rediscount ing of commercial paper. This term means, roughly, that a bank which has lent out money to a manufacturer on his promise to repay can, if a sudden need for currency arises, go to the reserve bank and exchange the manufacturer’s promise for a supply of currency. “Currency can be called x the oil which lubricates the wheels of industry. When the supply dried up, under the old sys tem, the law absolutely forbade the banks to take any more out of their re serve funds—which, nevertheless, were destined for the one purpose of guarding against just such an emergency! “But the new bill gives us an elastic currency system. When part of the sup ply dries and gets brittle, the whole ma chine won’t break down, as it used to. There will be reserve funds to whicn the bankers can go. “And that means that the small wage earner need not have any longer that terrible fear of being laid off every time the money situation grows tight. What ever the other effects of the 1)111, it is surely a great bulwark raised to pro tect the man with the dinner pail from the horrors of unemployment!” MUNCY TWINS HAVE NINETY-FIFTH BIRTHDAY Fifty Members of Their Imme diate Families Take Part BABYLON, N.

H„ Dec. 29.—A sil ver dollar bearing the date 1804, highly prized by numismatists and understood to be quoted at $3,500 for collection pur poses, was found here. William Sullivan, a laborer excavating for the ice rink for the Yale hockey team, turned over with his shovel an old jar which rested on a boulder seven feet below the surface of the street.
