I 1 Airplane Machine Gnn
1 Roland G. Garros, French aviator,
is credited with the invention of the
synchronized airplane machine gun.
He is known in France as the fa
ther of air dueling, which changed
the mode of air fighting considera
bly. In February of the year 1915
he mounted a gun in such a posi
tion that it was able to fire through
the propeller of an airplane, which
was a decided advantage over the
enemies’ mode of fighting. In 18
days he is credited with shooting
down five enemy planes. He was
brought down on the day of his last
victory, April, 19, 1915, and was
taken prisoner by the Germans. He
was unable to destroy his plane,
which the Germans copied, and his
invention was no longer a secret.
Largest Natural Bridge
The largest natural bridge in the
world is the Rainbow arch in Utah,.,
which spans Bridge canyon on the
north slope of Navajo mountain.
The arch rises 309 feet from the bed
of the stream below. The abut
ments are 278 feet apart and its
width on top is from 33 to 42 feet.
It could easily span the dome of the
Capitol at Washington, D. C.
Weather Forecasting
Harold Bernard Ward, Northwest
ern university geologist, declares
that most rhymes and jingles for
forecasting the weather are false.
But, he admitted: “Increased hu--
midity and decreased air pressure
cause your corns and bones to hurt,
and those pains, therefore, are a per
fectly good indication of immediate
weather conditions.”
Dunking School
Evelyn Orr, a Los Angeles de
partment store salesgirl, read tha?
dunking is good etiquette if you do
it right, and persuaded one of the
big doughnut companies to establish
a school of dunking, declares the
American Magazine. She has
taught over 2,000 dainty dunkers
successfully—but bearded men have
trouble.
Hat Excuses Speeder
Miss Julie Welton of San Frar»-
cisco, appearing before a judge on
a charge of reckless driving, plead
ed that it was all the fault of her
latest style trick hat which obstruct
ed her view and caused a collision.
The judge took one look at the hat
and ruled: "You win; it certainly
must have been the hat.'*
Minister Hits High Spots
A minister spent $5O in Joplin,

counts. The prisoner inclosed the
money.

tion of the city is five feet above
sea level.
