STREAMLINING IS
DEFINED BY NEW
RIFLE BULLET
By Howard W. Wakeslee
(Associated Press Science Editor)
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Ball
istic experts here have a new, square
head projectile which goes contrary
to the accepted laws of streamlining.
It Is a rifle bullet which can be
speeded up by 120 miles an hour
200 feet a second through use of
its extra resistance to The air. It is
an exception, moreover, that it ex
pected by ballistic men to prove the
rule that top speeds He In stream
lines.
The bullet Is lead, .22 caliber, and
sawed off across tho tip. But the
tip Is not an entirely,! flat plane.
Stuck on its surface. Ilka a sealing
wax stamp. Is a small, circular pla
teau of lead, a low projection called
the tit.
May lie Made Sjwedler
The experts think this projection
has something to do with thi speed
of the bijjlet. It may be a partial
streamlining, they say, and If It Is
they expect some day to be able to
round it up Into the conventional
blunt form to secure possibly more
speetj.
The extra velocity of the new bul
let comes f:-om the use of more
powder, and the fact that It main
tains its accuracy when fired with
the extra charge. The conventional
shape of bullet would take the high
er speed, but would lose accuracy.
TMe flat top adds accuracy and
hitting power. In lncreaseo? hitting
power the tiny, flat surface is said
to be equivalent to slapping water
with the opn hand Instead of poking
a finger Into the liquid.
The bodies of game animals, being
largely water, are hit with such ex
tra force as to knock them over.
The ordinary .22 bullet frequently
pierces an animal completely with
out stopping Its flight.
Drills a Clean Hole
This caliber is used more fo tar
get practice than for hunting, and
the flat nose makes a perfect round
hole in target paper. When two
conical .22 bullets strike within a
fraction of an inch in the same spot
in the bull's eye, event the experts
hi.i-e difficulty in deciding whether
the;were one or two hits.
Tbt flat tops leave no chance for
uncertainty, for their spin makes a
precise cutting edge of the blunt end
and drills a perfect sphere. 'Not only
in paper but in anything this bul
let Is capable of piercing its entering
hole is round and clean.

buying a gun for 98.59. and Bhoot-
Ing Saunders In the back of the head
early last Friday morning. The body
of the former Methodist Episcopal
minister was found in his automobile
in front of his rooming house here.
Funeral services for Saunders were
held at Wabash Sunday in the church
where a week before he had preached
his farewell sermon.
Meanwhile Indianapolis police scan
ned statements of those implicated In
the case, and letters of Mathers and
Mrs. Saunders, to piece out the bi
zarre slaying plot.
The widow; Mathers, fellow stu
dent of Saunders In an embalming
school, and Masil Roe, 19, from
Mathers home town of Coalmont,
ind., wno told police he was present j
at thft shnotlncr n ro hlri nr rho rono

Held, pending further investigation,
was Mrs. Mabel Balke, of Wabash, j
nurso of Mrs. Saunders during a re
cent illness, who admitted she knew
