and most modest of.m en. H is life was devoted to
the invention and perfection of the most murderous
of weapons, various types of automatic and sem i­
automatic fiutam s. He ppobahiy had more to do
with the development of sporting weapons then any
other man iu America and probably was least known
in conneetjoii with then», Although he owned the
patents to scores o f improvements in firearms hig
naine, until recent years, was never used in con­
nection with any o f thsm.
It was not until the United States army turn­
ed to hipi for help in t w r , ttiat his Bams as an
inventor of firearms became generally known to the
people of the United States. B efore the was was
r over it was destU ed ho become one of the m o s f
frequent heard in army r^rkw.-
Before America entered the war the great value
of two types of automatic weapon, the machine gun
and the automatic rifle, had beep thoroughly demom
strated. The n$ed was felt, however, for a greater
perfection than had y et been attained. A machine
gun was granted which Would f ir e faster and longer
than a n y . then made, and an automatic rifle more
easily portable than the Lewis gun and more de,
pendable than the French Chauchat. Browning pro­
duced both. The BnJwning W h i n e gun and the
Browning automatic rifle are probably the most
"Wb* » t e * rw p o n . of U ulr kind y r t inranted.
The part they played in Winning the war, however,
was slight, a little more perhaps than the Liberty
motor. B y the time they were being manufactured

that a bill can be agreed upon dnrh|g the present
session.

That the subject Is one needing a ttention any­
body with the tuning in habit must admit. You
throw a switch, twirl a few .nobs and a door is
opened into a magic world, but Withal < chaotic
one. It is a world in which the human voice may
be projected over leagues of space entirely Unas­
sisted by any carrying medium save that which
nature furnishes. And in it everybody is shouting
at the trip of hie voice and all a t the same time. It
sound |ike the mob scene in Julius Caesar on ly
more so.

A ll that is expected of congress is that it s h a llk
play the role o f the hero who steps into the room,
holds up his hand and says, “ Don’t all talk at
once.”
Its magnetic intervention is expected to
bring order out o f confusion without depriving any­
body of the right to say his say or sing his song
by providing a system by which such saying and
singing can be carried on according to a schedule
of non-interferenoe.
Perhaps it can be done to the satisfaction o f
all concerned, talkers as well a s listenejrs-in, but
it looks a good.deal as though Hercules had a fairly
simple job with his seven labors compared w ith
what congress faces in tackling the radio problem.

»A little diabetes w ill do an old man good, Dr.
E lliott I . Joslin, eminent Harvard medico, is report­
ed to have told the Ohio Valley Medical association.
He «ays it help« to keep down the fat which is us­
ually worse than the diabetes.
It w ill be noted, howsper, that he specifies a little
diabetes, and that is where the whdle trouble comes
in. Few peeple are oontent with just a little. Once
they get a sample of it they cannot take it oT leave
it alone but plunge in clear up to the ears. I t ’» worse
than the liquor habit. There are lots of people who
cm take a little wine -for the’ stom ach’s sake and
stop there, but the diabetes seem never to know where
to stop, at least not until the doctor comes.
Instead o f advocaitng a little diabetes for ton-
old age .we think the doctor would be in bet-
working for a law prohibiting it entirely.
v
doing and y k e i f t o is f o r a "
most worthy enterprise, but
¡we do not see how they can
legally «pend the taxpayere
money for a charity outside
their own county.
We have
always had the opinion that's
M of the charity w ort done
to p R aaty ought to be in
tbs budget Instead ol posslng
the hat to the same bunch o f
goats every time. Always and
forever the same group of
“good fellows” are requested'
to »angle ub ter the Red
Cross or whatever enterprlM
may he under way. The en­
tire eounty gets .the benefit
bqt It costs nobody anything
hat thf goats. •
