American.

As deeigned for American use It Is chambered for the caliber 45 automatic pistol cartridge, with Us powerful and knock-down blow inflict'd by the 230-grain bullet. The barrel is lees than a foot long. A grip for the eft hand lies below the center of the barrel, while another for the right ■and lies near the end of the gun. belo* the breach caing. The magazine is between the two grips. So arranged, the gun is intended to be fired from the waist line, the fire being directed by the sense of feel, as one throws a stone, and as used ‘marching "fire of attacking infantry during the war. The arm is truly automatic. not the semiautomatic selfloading type so often miscalled automatic. Such arms require a pull of the trigger for each shot, the mechanism merely ejecting and reloading the gun. The Submachine Gun is chine gun in that H fire as long as the trigger is held back and the cartridge supply kept up. This particular arm, however, has a theoretical speed of fire of 1500 per minute, higher than any other weapon on earth, and three times as high as the average of chine guns used for hand use among vanoug armies. If the trigger If held back, the result Is a vibrating roar of .diets coming so fast hat the ear cannot distinguish them apart. This, of course, empties a twenty-shot magazine in less than a second: but the flro is easily controlled by the trigger pressure, and there Is no trouble in firing single shots merely by a quick pressure of the trigger and Instant release. Any number of shots between the single shot, and the entire capacity of the magazine is thus at the disposal of the fleer.

Is Your Name Ella?

Ella Is an elfin name. Its source 9S In fairyland, where the elves, or white spirits, were supposed to be gifted shadowy beings given to iufluencing strangely the lives of mortals. Ella means "eirs friend." The elf king was called Elbe-rich. His (airy kindred and their popularity in England and Ireland, eftahllsbed the use of elf names early in hi*lory. Everyone remembers Aelfgifu, the unfortunate Elglva, whose beauty was like thi fairy gill which her name signifies, end trough ruin upon herself and her hust<and. Ae’.fwine (elf darting), daughter of the Earl of Southhampton, was Knot's first wife. A bishop of Lichfield was called A elf wine, bu: he preferred to be addressed as Aella. This Is tbo first appearance of Ella and It seems curious that it should have been a ir.aa-

culine name.

Aella, aa it was then spelled, named the sponsor for the executor of Raguar Lodbrog and It was Aelle of Delra. whose name- caused Gregory the Great to say that "Alleluja" should be sung in those regions. Ella Is much used in ihls country, but her s’enlfluance is so "tUe known tUt her popularity must be attributed to harmony of sound. The opal Is Ella's talismanic gem. Friday Is her lucky day and 2 her

lucky number.

A Foot-Punched Transfer

’ As thick as the hslr on a dog's back,” expresses nothing In Mexico, for the Mexican dog Is utterly devoid hair on his back or anywhere eles. The hot climate having rendered It superfluous. Mother Nature kindly divested him of it Nor does "the little busy bee Improve each shining hour" In that country; on the contrary, it learns that, as there Is no winter there, there Is no necessity for laying store of honey, and degenerates Into a thoroughbred loafer. 'As big as a whale" might be rather small, as there Is a species of the cetacean genus hardly three feet long.

I! iate *nd the door closed.

On the 1 'ft hand side of the box Is s movable sector of a circle which hr.s segments marked A. M.. P. M., 15. 30 and 45. This Is used to set for A. M. or P. M. and any flifteen minute Intervals of an hour. On the right hand side is a similar sector of a circle which has numbers from 1 to 12 the segments. This Is used to adjust for the hour desired. These two sectors thus allow the time to be set with in fifteen minutes of the time desired

at the next transfer int.

On the top of tl jx a set of pushbuttons is located aid also a window which shows the >ounter dial for recording the number of transfers issued. The push buttons are labelled with the different routes, emergency, Inbound and outbound. By means of the push but*-ns the conductor can punch the transfer for any route de-

sired.

As an exiunple. assume the next transfer point on an Inbound car at 4 P. M. is at 4.15 P. M. on the schedule. The sectors on the s would be sdjusted to 4.15 P. M. and the Inbound push burton would be pushed down. If the route to which transfers are desired is “Pine Street," then the push button Is also operated. The conductor then simply pushes tbo foot lever as each passenger asks tor a transfer and the properly punched transfer Issues at the mouth of the box for the passenger to grasp.

FASHION NOTES Interesting Items for the Fair Sex

LACES, FEATHERS AND FURS Feathers and furs are playing an Important part In trimmings, but lace has outdone even these In popularity. No matter what the shape or the size <-t the hats or whether they're made of velvet, satin or brocade, a filmy veil of lace drops over the brim In mask effect. This filmy stuff Is of hand run net or line Chantilly or even heavier Span aces. Although a mere mask over the eyes, the veils completely cover the hats and fall low over the shoulders In the back. If by chance th« veil is missing, ostrich flues perform Its offlee. Glycerined they encircle toques, while curled they fall over the edge of brims and drop low over the shoulders.

"As cunning as a fox" would have sounded IdioUc to the discoverers of Kamschatka. They found foxes in large numbers, but . o stupid, because they had never '-efore seen an enemy, that they could be killed with clubs. The "birds of a feather" that “flock together" do not belong to the penguin family, as they are entirely devoid of feathers, having for a covering a kind of stiff down. Another penguin peculartty Is that It swims not on. but under water, never keeping more than Its head out. and when fishing, coming to the surface at such rare Intervals, that au ordinary observer would almost certainly mistake it for a fish. Ducks swim the world over, geese do not. In South America a domestic species Is found that cannot excel an ordinary hen In aquaJc accomplishments. It has lived so long In a country where water is only found in wells, that it has lost Its aquatic taste and abilities entirely. ' As awkward as a crab." does not apply on some of the South Sea Islands, for a crab is found there that not only runs as fast as the average man. but climbs trees with the eai

a schoolboy.

A company spokesman, at Saturday's meeting of the stockholder* at the Baden Antlln Soda Factory, called approve the changes in the trust agreement tingled out American industry as the outstanding competitor and the great* st menace to the German dye trade In the export markets of the world. American companies, thanks to the process of concentration and control of capital and "robbery" of German patents, has established themselves, he said in a position which went far beyond the antlcioated limits of competition, namely the defense of home markets against a newGcrnian invasion and now threatened , capture the rich market in East

Self Pitv’is Fatal Pity may rightfully be exercised in any direction save one: toward self. Pity Is said to be akin to lo-e, anil we are to love nil men, even oar enemies; but we are not to love self. A prominent statesman and sound counsellor of young men has said: "Never pity yourself. Self-pity begins a sickness of the soul from which few recover." Probably we have all uabbled in s-lf-ptly enough to know something of Its poisonous effects. It is to the moral system what influenza is to the physicci, in its Insidious power to impair vital organs and sometimes to *( ?ck everything. For when we begin to pity ourselves, we dwell upon the things in our life that seem to us unjust and undeserved: and no man ever bettered his condition by concentrating his mind on

his injustices.

The way to get well Is to get your mind off your disease. The wjy to forge ahead In life Is to think of your oppot .unity and privilege, not your handicap. When we do that, we shall not have time for self-pity.
