Naval Gun Was Foundation.
To begin on tho super-enmion. the
Germans took a wornout lfi-lnoh naval
gun. r(l feet In length. It was bored
out and a very heavy tube with an in
side diameter of S.IJ Inches was Insert
ed, with about -10 feet of it projecting
beyond the end of the original gun.
Over that another hoop was shrunk
and locked to the forward hoop. There
also was a patch of l!).7 feet, which
was attached at the mu..le of I lie
gun.
The bore of the gun was treated to
a uniform rilling, the lanes and
grooves which Impart a rotary moilon
to the projectile. The six-meter sec
tion of the gun at the muzzle, how
ever, was unrllled. probably designed
to steady the projectile and defeat Its
slight tendency to "tumble" or yaw
and fa'il to travel directly to its mark.
Such "tumbling" Is caused by the yon
Itlct of two forces, one spinning ihe
projectile to the right, the other send
ing It forward. Such a force mid to be
obviated as the shell had to travel up
ward 21 miles on Its arc in order to
cover the horizontal distance of 75
miles.
Clever Expedient to Prolong Life.
The life of Ihe glaiit gun. which was
JMS.OOO pounds In weight and iyj feet
long, under the heavy pressure of Its
high velocity projectile was very lim
ited. But when the Cermans found
the span of the gim amounted to only
") pounds-they bit i:pou a clever ex
pedient. They bored out the 21 -cent I
metor tube, which was ery thick, to
24 centimeters, and later to '.Hi centime
ters, giving It Just so much more ll'e
at each caliber, with only a change in
larger ammunition required. The shell
hurled by the cannon weighed 2l
pounds ami was 11) Inches in length.

TI1H most Important of our clothes
are those we wear ofienest and
are least couscjous of. Unobtrusive
things Unit are made for dally service
have a character and charm of their
own that are lasting (like the stead
fastness of a sincere and dependable
friend), and better than all else. The
creators of utility skirts and blou.-es
have kept all 'he requirements of
these clothes In mind for the coining
season, and nftrr disposing of such
essentials as good materials. Irre

Holding first place in Ihe procession
of blouses come the strong, line white

trimmed with tucks and lace, or hand

skirls to be worn with them, com

Blouses Presented for Fall
SO KAH nothing radically different
from the stylos of summer, or par
ticularly tiew In details of tlnlshing,
has come lo light In the blouses pre
sented for fall and winter. Colored
georgette crepe remains the favorite
material for making them, head and
silk ombroldorlnc the favored embel
lishments, sleeves are lengthened to
the three-quarter mark at least and
the high-necked blouses have long
sleeves, but there are few models
that have high necks. White voile Is
forging to the front for dally wear. Us
daintiness and durability commending
It to women who love the charm of
freshly laundered and hand-made
waists. So far the now models reveal
less vivid coloring than tho: o of thf
juHt season, but many colors.
The blouse .shown In the Illustration
Is typical of the most popular style.
It Is made of dark georgette .crepe
dark blue continues a favorite and

neatness belong.- to them even though
l hey had no other, but drawn work,

stitiiiery Is mure effective on voile
than on .any other blouse material.
Two of tlie now utility skirts In the
group above show one made of a com
bination of plain and plaid materials.
Panels at each side and a wide border
of plaid goods, applied at the back
and front of the Hist skirt, leave n
narrow space at each side that no
commodates a small mannish silt
pocket, set In with a narrow binding
of the plaid material. This model Is
easy sailing for the home dressmak
er, for it Is gathered at the waistband
and lias a plali. belt of liie material
fastened with a button at tho front.
The second skirt is plaited at each
side of the front and across the back.

a large button, at each side; the but

of the popular little chemisette of
white nee. But this white touch at
the peek Is wonderfully becoming to
most faces: it will not disappear al
together. So far there are many more blouses
than smocks In tho displays of new
models, but tomorrow may toll another
story, for the stylos are not thoroughly
established, and smocks have proved
to be the most useful of garments.
