"Hie cause of the affray was not reported. "Uncle" Joe, who whs repotted to harve struck the- first Wow with a stick, allegedly, had partaken too freely of spirituous liquor.

Syrette Relieves Pain From Wounds, Tin Cans Needed To Make Them. The Medical Corps of the U.S. Army "lias developed the SYRET TE ? a pain-relieving and shock eTiminating hypodermic needle to which is attached a till tuive con taining one dose of an effective pain-alleviating agent. Every member of tlve Armed Forces ? Soldiers, Sailors and Mar ines ? carries a Syrette in his em ergency kit. When wounded, the soldier removes plastic protective cover and inserts needle ivw wound. This immediately relieves pain and tends to eliminate shock, which is one of the largest single problems with wounded men. Two ordinary tin aans supply enough tin for one Syrette. Thus, when you process two tin cans and give them to the Government, you may save tlve life of one of our boys on the battle front. OTHER FACTS ABOUT TIN CAWS A 37 ram. Air Corps gun requires the tin from 700 tin cans. A 75 mm. Field gun needs the tin from 8508 tin cans, and for a 3-inch Anti-tank gun, it is necessary to hav* the tin from 3,500 tin cans. -TV tin from 13,000 cans it need* ed to solder the (connections of a medium siae tank. The tin fnom tin cans is meeded to make bearings for airplane mo tors, tanks, ships, gun tnodnts, and a hundred otlher types of arma ment. It forms the solder us*ed in every type of equipment that has electric wiring. It is used in gas masks. It takes 27,000 tin cans to pro vide enough tin for a long-nange heavy bomber. But four tin cans are enough for a. bomb. Newt time a bomber squadron loads up for a visit to the Ruhr, it may fly and carry tin from your- old tin cans. It takes 9,000 tin cans for a light Army tank; 168 tin cans for a trcndh mortar; 21,000 tin cans for a short-range heavy homber. 16 tin cons will furnish enough tin for one machine gun. 4 tin cans arc needed for use in a bomb. One No. 2 tin can yields enough tin for one type of hand grenade, but another type ? the much used fragmentation grenade ? requires the tin from 54 tin cans.
