AUTOMATIC RIFLES
IN ARMY USE
Washington, D. C., Jan. 28.—
The automatic revolver, after
many years’ trial, having finally
found favor in the army and
adopted as the standard arm, the
ordnance bureau has taken steps
to embody the same principles in
the army rille. Circulars are to
bo sent inviting the attention of
American inventors to this sub
ject and indicating the needs of
the bureau in the points of sim
plicity. strength, durability and
ease in a semi-automatic shoul

a 1 ><iuI .JO and the magazine eight

limited to live shots.

Cold Storage Eggs.
The cold storage egg is a de
pressing tiling, at the best. When
it is handed out at fancy prices
as I lie only thing in its line pur
rhasaldc, it becomes an imposi
tion.
The cold storage warehouse is
a boon in some regards. But
when il is diverted from its legit i
inale purpose of necessary pre
servation of food stuffs and made
an instrument for the foisting of
stale products on the people al
outrageous prices, its glamor be
gins to fade. The old theory that
the; egg crop cannot be cornered
seems to be controverted by the
storage wgrehuusc--at least in 60
far as the interest of the public
is concerned.
If this keeps on we shall have
agitators demanding government
ownership of the hen. And they
Will have more reason in their
shouting than most of the oth
