INDIANS GET TROUNCED
BY THE KEMP GRIDSTERS
1
** j
The Grand Saline High School In-
dians played the Kemp High School
foot ball team last Friday. The In-
dians came out with the little end of
• 23 to 0 score. The Indians played
fairly good defensive but the offen-
sive was poor. Kemp made three
touchdowns, kicked one field goal and
kicked goals for two extra points.
The Indians started off with a
bang! They fought like wild cats on
the defense. When Kemp made their
jfirst touchdown, the Indians weaken-
ed and seemed to lose tHeir spirit.
Sollis Runnels was the Indians star.
He returned the punts very good by
the use of spectacular foot work.

GRAND SALINE SCHOOL
LEADS IN CREDITS
Our school has more credits than
any other school of Van Zandt
county. In the last few years we
have increased considerably in credits
and enrollment in the high school.
Four years ago we only had twelve
credits and now we have t%venty and I morning,
one half. There ^were seventy-five i
Spanish today. 76 per cent of the
grades were passing but we learned
that some«f us needed to study more.
We intend to do better on the next
test. ifaMtt

We had our- first may book work
Monday in history. We find that
these books will require more work
than was required for those last year
but w.e will enjoy these lessons very
much.
Maurine White spent Friday night

Ben \llen attended the ball game

SOPHOMORE CLASS NEWS
Roy Beall from Edom enrolled with
us this morning. We are glad to have
him with us.
We got our English test papers back
this morning, very good grades were
made.
The Kemp players were very good
sports and treated Die Indians very
nicely. We apprecite' this vdty much.
During the rest period the knockout
problem came up and "Red” Garland
was heard to mutter, “They don't grow
big enough in Kaufman County to
knock me out.”
The nearest we cane to getting a
touchdown was when J. E. Persons re-
covered a fumble and dashed fifteen
yards to the twenty yard line before he
was downed. A pass, Mayfield to
Rucker, put the ball on the nine yard
line. At this point the ball went over,
reasons unknown.
Umpire Raymond Coxby did some
hot arguing for the Indians. We thank
you, Doc.
“Hans” Elliott and “Henry” Rucker
held the#end positions very sati-fac-
too*?y.
It was said that J. E. got a bump
and couldn't add the numbers “Ox”
was calling. I don’t know just how
true this is.
We have an excellent pep squad to
help us win next Friday. Tom Staton
and Lena Mary Dorough are the cap-
able leaders.
Everyone should be at the ball park
Friday, yellin’.

club bore, “I saw a tiger come down to
the water where some women were
washing clothes. It was a fierce tiger
but one 'woman with great presence

face—and it slunk away."
“Gentlemen,” said a man in an arm
chair, “I can vouch for the truth of
this story. Some minutes after the
incident occurred, I was coming dawn
to the water. I met this tiger, and
as is my habit, stroked his whiskers.
Gentlemen, those whiskers were wet.”
SECRET OF BIO'
GERMAN CANNON
Famous Guns Used to Bom-
bard Paris L ongest Artil-
lery Pieces Made.
Berlin.—The secrets of the long-
range German cannon that bombarded
Parla from a distance of over sixty
miles, closely guarded even after the
armistice, have now been permitted t#
leak out, following the recent death of
tha Inventor, Dr. Frltx Rausenberger,
of the Krupp firm.
It has been generaly guessed that
the.guns were the longest places of
artillery that had ever been construct-
ed, and the new Information confirms
these conjectures, for their length was
88 meters, or about 128 feet. Each gun
was assembled out of three principal
parts. Into an ordinary 18-Inch naval
gun an Inner tube of 8.2-Inch caliber,
88.4 feet long, was fitted, and over tha
part that projected beyond the naval
gun an additional strengthening hoop
was shrunk on. The total weight of
the piece was 154 Ions.
The weight of (he 8.2-Inch shell was
220 pounds; Its wall thickness was
about 2-14 Inches at (he base and a lit-
tle over 1*4 Inches at the top. Its
head was given an extraordinarily long
taper. 15 to 20 Inches, to aid In over-
coming the resistance of the nlr.
Fired at Extreme Elevations
To obtain its unprecedented range,
the gun had to he tired at an extreme
elevation. Theoretically, 45 degrees
would have been the proper angle, hut
this would have been correct only In
a vacuum, and to get the shell fur
up Into the thin air where resistance
was low, the gun was set at 50 de-
grees. The angle of elevation remained
fixed, and to correct for differences
In wind, air pressure, etc., the powder
charge was varied, being calculated
anew for each separate shot. The
charge for the longest range at which
any of these guns was ever tired, 80
At the range
of 74 miles, the shell reached heights
of over 25 miles, making more than
two-thirds of its flight at elevations of
over 0 miles, or half a mile higher
than Mount Everest. The time of
flight was three minutes.
Due to the great length of the gun
and the very heavy powder charge,
the comparatively light shell left the
gun’s nozzle at the velocity of over a
mile per second, with the enormous
muzzle energy of 43,000 foot tons—
enough to lift the whole mass of the
world’s largest battleship a foot Into
the air.
Two Fuses Necessary.
Because the shells tended to drop
on their target, the city of I* iris, side-
wise instead >f end on as a projectile
normally does. It was necessary to
provide them with two fuses to Insure
their explosion on Impact. The fuse
system worked successfully, for none
of ttie shells that struck Paris failed
to explode. Another difficulty arose
due to the long, high flight of the
shell: the rotation of the earth tended
to deflect Its path, sometimes as much
as half a mile.
The terrifically high pressure, tem-
perature and friction of the discharge
of the piece tended lo make the barrel
bulge slightly, and because of Its great
length the gun tended to “whip,” rais-
ing the danger of a premature ex-
plosion of the shell In the tube. Tills
did happen once, ruining one of the
four guns. The other three, ni*cordlng
to the terms of the armistice, were
dismantled and destroyed.
The designer of the battery. Dr.
Fritz Rausenberger of Ruben-Ruden,
was a well-known authority oil ballis-
tics and had for several years been
associated with the Krupp Arm. In ad-
dition to the long range gun, lie de-
signed the great 42-centimeter “Rig
Bertha" that destroyed the Belgian
forts early In the war Tilts was •
relatively short-barreled howitzer of
no great range but of terrlttc smash-
ing power due to the enormous weight
of Its shells and the heavy charge of
high explosive they carried

Kaiser’s Mustache
Secret Is Revealed
Omaha. Neb.—The secret of Kaiser
Wilhelm's spiked-effort mustache Is
explained by Carl SAchropp of Omaha,
who. as personal barber to the former
emperor, originated the famous ton
sorlal characteristic.
Schropp, who sorved many of Eu-
rope's royalty uatll “discovered” by
the kaiser, aald:
“Flret, I would wet the mustache
thoroughly. Then, with my Ingere. I
would pueh the hairs up at either end
outll they stood sa you have seen them
In pictures. Next I took a schuurbar-
tlude (a mustache atrap), made of floe
silk, with hooks on end, and put It
over the mustache and attached the
hooks to the kaiser's ears. I used my
fingers and a fine comb to put the
heirs lust so; then with the mustache
strap on It, 1 would wait fot^lt to dry.
After that the kaiser’s mustache
would stay the way he wanted It for
24 hours."
