SILENT GUNS EFFECTED NT
10 MILES BEING DEVELOPED
#
*
Entirely New Principle Being Used—Projective
to Go Five Miles a Second
New York.—A silent gun that .will
shoot four-ton explosive gas bombs
200 or 300 miles at a velocity of one
to five miles a second is in process
of development by Miller Reese Hut
chinson Hudson Maxim and their asso
ciates.
The idea is based on a new prin
ciple in the explosion of ordinary
smokeless gunpowder.
In a demonstration Tuesday after
noon in an ofice on the fifty-first floor
of a New York skyscraper, a steel
bullet three inches long and a half
inch in diameter was shot through a
three-(quarter inch steel plate at a
velocity of one mile per second.
U& is a materially greater veloc-
*a,fc ever before has been develop-
in projectiles of any kind.
The demonstration was absolutely
silent, the only sound being the im
pact of the bullet as it bored through
the plate.
Silencer is New
The silencer is on an entirely new
principle, and in no way is connected
with the old principles of the Maxim
silencer. ,
The original invention is the work
of Robert Temple, an English inven
tor.
Its ultimate application to the hurl
ing of huge bombs extraordinary dis
tances in actual warfare has been
passed on by some of the greatest
ballistic experts in America and pro
nounced practical.
Meanwhile the invention is to be
applied to steel construction work. A
threaded steel bolt was driven through
a three-quarter inch steel plate. The
gun was held in immediate contact
with the plate, and the charge was
measured so that the bolt stopped in
the plate. The threads were left in
tact and a nut was ^crewed on. It
is believed by the inventors that this
will be used in place of the present
method of drilling holes through steel.
The charge was only 2d grains of
ordinary smokeless powder.
The gun used closely resembled an
ordinary air compression drill. Ob
servers easily could have imagined
that the force was compressed air.
There aws no recoil, no smoke prac
tically no heat. Only a faint liissin;
sound of slowly escaping gases after
the discharge.
Used Under Water
It was announced that the model
had been used by divers under water,
for application to steel work, and that
it operated as well as it does in the
air.
Sir Edgar Rees Jones, member of
Parliament and former chief of the
priorities division, British Ministry of
Munitions, is associated with the
Americans above named in the de
velopment of the invention.
Dr. Hutchinson formerly was chief
engineer to Thomas A. Edison.
Among those woh witnessed the
demonstration and who are directly in
terested in (the further development
of the invention were Hudson Maxim,
Rar Admiral Samuel McGowan, U. S.
Navy, and William M. Williams, form
er United States commissioner of in
ternal revenue.

one Dance in Water.
Bathing Suits Are
Forgotten.
Paris, France.—The “jazz bath,” in
vented at Evian, a fashionable resort
on Lake Geneva, is the latest and most
refreshing distraction for the society
lights whose nerves have been jaded
by the expired hective Paris season.
According to reports which have set
all Paris gossiping, several stage beau
ties, accompanied by scions of the
younger set, tired of the dancing and
wilting under the heat, bribed the or
chestra of one hotel to quit the place
and go with them to the lake shore,
where, “attired” in a manner reminis
cent of the Garden of Eden, the party
danced to midnight in the water while
the orchestra played sad tunes alter-
^nated with lively jazz.
Many dowagers, scandalized by the
proceeding, threatened to leave the re
sort if it were repeated, whereupon
the authorities set up signs reading
^'Shifting Sands! Bathing Dangerous!”

IIINL IN HELL IS THE CRY
Of the Moral Denger-
ates Who Would Open
f Your Town Wide.
Cocke County, Tenn., Is
the Stamping Ground
of Satan, Report.
Knoxville, Tenn.—Ten men in the
Newport sector of Cocke county recent
ly died fr(5m the effects of drinking
illicit liquor; lawlessness is rampant
as the result of the wholesale manu
facture of “moonshine.”
Citizens have been terrorized and a
' committee appointed at a mass meet
ing in Newport, June 24, to recommend
steps to abate the wave of crime has
reported its recommendations in a
startling resume of conditions.
^hese resolutions point out that il
licit liquor traffic has grown to such
an extent as to result in lawlessness
pnd public demoralization, the lower
ing of the standards of decency ini
Cocke county; that safety of life and
property have been jeopardized, busi-
-ness and progress retarded, young
men and boys besotted and debauch
ed, every other form of vice and crime
1-
fostered and stimulated, causing the
criminal court dockets to be congest
ed, and, in a short time, mips the re
port, many men of the Newport sec
tion have met violent deaths from this
illicit traffic, and how many have been
killed by liquor from Cocke cqunty
no man can estimate.
Private ctiizens have been terrorized
into a condition of moral cowardice.
Church members have been influenced
into~importuning authorities for clem
ency to guilty and convicted bootleg
gers. Public officials have been dom
inated and browbeaten.
In view of these facts, the committee
sttaes it calls upon law - abiding peo>-
pie in every walk of life to join in a
movement for the stamping out of the
illicit liquor traffic, and it is broad
ly stated that if any of the lawbreak
ers are so unthoughtful as to resist
the enforcement of law by violence*
they are warned they will be held to
the strictest accountability.
SOUND DOCTRINE.
Walk out into a busy street—shut
your eyes— stand still—what will hap
pen?
Amublance—dead wagon probably.
Same thing happens to a man who
stands still in his |business or am
bition.
Examinations will be held at the
court house in Fayetteville, beginning
at nine d’elock ^Friday, 'July 29tli|
and continuing through the next day.
All teachers who are not properly li
censed will be expected to take those
examinations before any arrangement
for teaching in the county shajl bev
come final.
The' board of education has adopt
ed a schedule whereby the salary of a
teacher is based on the license, train
ing, and experience of the said teach
er. It is therefore necessary that the
examinations be taken by those whoi
have no valid license, and, in addition,
that all teachers expecting to teach
in the county submit their records in
order that the matter of salary may be
arranged. The county superintendent
will talk the matter over in detail
with those who call on him.
There will be a meeting of the teach
ers who are convenient to Fayetteville
at the court house Saturday morning,
July 30th, at 10 o’clock. This will
be a short meeting, but it is very de
sirable that the teachers attend.
The necessity for Georgia to “pay
as she goes” instead of spending large
sums of money on faith of future
wealth was expressed by Governor
Thomas W. Hardwick in a speech de
livered at the regular meeting of the
Civitian Club in the Kimball House
Friday noon.
Governor Hardwick critcizes the
policy of former administrations in
making big appropriations for schools
without considering the limit of ;the
State’s income, and appealed to busi
ness men to take a hand in State
affairs in order that the business of
the State may be run on a business
basis.
“Unless business men like those w-ho
are members of this club take an ac
tive interest in the State affairs and
lend to the State their business ex
perience Georgia is liable to meet
s conditions within the year.”
ed the governor, “and unless
ians forget politics for a while
and 'co-operate with the business
mindK of the State we are doomed to
an executive failure.’’
Governor Hardwick, who was the
principal speaker at fhe luncheon
meeting, was introduced by James B.
Nevin, editor of Th6 Georgian. Mr.
Nevin cited the importance of the gov
ernor’s message to the Legislature
and declared it to be the greatest docu
ment that has been presented to a
Georgia legislative body within 25
years.
Mr. Hardwick spoke of the Civitan
Club as one of the “upbuilding bodies”
of Atlanta, Georgia, and the South.
There is nothing more important than
good citizenship and friendship, he
said.
BEWARE OF SALT,
PHYSICIAN WARNS
New York.—Can you eat a sofbboil-
ed egg without salt?
Maybe you think you can’t. But
you can. Try it!
And then take the salt cellar and
throw it in the ash can—if you want
to heed the advice of Dr. Edward
Percy Robinson and get rid of the chief
cause of cancer.
“Putting salt on your food is dan
gerous,” said Doctor Robinson. “It’s
not a necessity. It’s a habit—and a
bad habit If you want to cure can
cer, stop eating salt on your food.
If you want to prevent cancer, cut out
salt.”
Doctor Robinson first fired a broad
side against the family salt - shaker
in and address before the Illinois State
Medical and Surgical society, in Chi
cago. In his office on Fifth avenue
he amplified his remarks.
“Too many people believe that ra-'Jc Value
dium is a sure cure for cancer.”. he
said; “it isn’t. It has cured cases of
external cancer—but it has often de
stroyed the surrounding tissues.
“You might as well try to cure a
sunburn blister on your back by let
ting your "back have another dose of
the hot sun!
‘Cancer kills 300,000 people a year
in this country.
“If every physician started right out
to prevent the beginnings of cancer
and made his patients cut down on
salt, we could eradicate the disease in
ten years.
“It doesn’t sneak up on you in the
night. You don’t wake up in the
morning and find you've developed
cancer.
“Cancer isn’t a germ disease. It
starts in the disease of a tissue—be
cause there is too much salt in the
system and not enough potassium.
“You hear a lot of bunk about calo
ries in the food. What you need is
an even balance of acid and alkali. If
you don’t get enough of the alkaline
foods to counteract or neutralize the
acids you’re in trouble.”
Doctor Robinson recommends a diet
of no meat, no salt and plenty of “rab
bit food” for those who have cancer
Ex-Governor Dorsey
Rejoins His Law Firm
Former Governor Hugh M. Dorsey
has rejoined his old law firm connec
tions under the name of Dorsey, Brew
ster, Howell and Heyman, which was

nor’s four years at the state capitol,
was called Brewster, Howell and Hey
man, is composed of P. H. Brewster,
president of the Atlanta Bar Associ
ation; Albert Howell, Jr., ex-Governor
Dorsey and Arthur Heyman.
Associated with the firm are Hugh
Howell, Mark Bolding, W. P. Blood-

Placed on the
Georgia Peach
Crop in 1921.
Macon, Ga.—Five Million dollars will
be received by central Georgia from
this year’s peach crop, it was esti
mated in Macon recently. The season
will close soon.
So far 7,712 cars have been shipped
and it is expected when the season
closes this number will be increased
to 8,250. The average price a crate
was $1.25. The crop this year has
been the most profitable in many
years.
or are afraid they’ye getting it.
“Rabbit foods” he lists as high in
alkali include spinach—by far the best
—and rhubarb,-tomatoes, pysnips, let
tuce, cauliflower, carrots, beets, cab
bage and chard.
“Eat the leafy vegetables raw—in a
sahul,” he says, “with perhaps a little
olive oil or mayonnaise—but no salt.
Symptoms showing an unequal mix
ture of acid and alkali in the system,
are apt to bring on cancer, says Doctor
Robinson, include constipation, ane
mia, indigestion, insomnia, dropsy and
that “tirejd feeling” in the morning.
