Several batteries of field nrtlllery of the Western States have received Instruc tion In Indirect firing at tho army school at Fort Bill, Okla. This firing Is tho same ns that used by tho artillery arms of the German, Delglan and French armies, In direct firing hns been practiced by tho batteries of this State for some yeans. The French are given credit for the adop tion of Indirect firing, but now It has been adopted by all modern armies. In Indirect firing the artillerymen shoot at a target which they cannot see. They can Bhoot from the rear of'n. hill, over the crest and hit the enemy or the tar get with deadly regularity. In fact, ar tillery officers assert that modern field guns can bo fired moro accurately by In direct firing methods, properly directed, than by direct firing, where the target la In olght of tho artillerymen. Indirect firing Is based on the use of the triangle, nnd Its application requires the ofllcers to be skilled In the use of gcomo try and trigonometry. Tho offlcern are stationed nt some little distance from their guns, nnd communicate their ordem by field telephone and nag signals. The ofucers are posted at some point, usually the top of a hill, a church tower, or some thing of the sort, where they can observe tho position of the enemy through power ful glasses. Tho officers' station Is one point of the triangle, tho cannona nro an other, and tho enemy or tho target tha third point of the angle. The base Is the line between the ofllcers' post and the position of the cAnnonB. This Is a known distance, nnd the two angles at tho base are ascertained. Then the use of trigo nometry makes It easy, for one who knows how, to find tho distance ot the enemy or target. "MADE IN AMERICA" TOYS TO GLADDEN YOUTH OF EUROPE Plan Underway to Send a Santa Claus Ship to War torn Countries From Every Nook and Corner of This Country. It Is now highly probable that shortly before Christmas a "Santa Claus Ship," loaded to the water line with toys con tributed by children from every nook and corner of America, rich and poor alike, will leave these shores foj riurope, there to unload tho dazzling cargo and offer It as a joyous Christ mas gift to tho children of tho war torn countries of thnt continent. It Is said that most of the toys will bear tho trade mark "made and contributed In America." Tho success of this enterprise has been practically assured through the cftorts of Miss Olive May Wilson, "the Santa Claus Girl," of Jenklntown. who for a number of )ears has supplied poor children with Chilstmas gifts nnd who desires to extend her work this jear not only on a national but Intel national scope. She has the suppott ot some of the most widely known and most pow erful men In the United Stutes. In cluding the President of the Pnlted States, who. In an Interview granted her some time ago, expressed his deslro to co-operate with Miss Wilson in every way. Miss Wilson hns Just returned from Washington, where she laid her plan before a numbei of Senators, Rep. resentntlves and department heads nnd leaves this week for a tour of New England, where she will address numer ous social organizations and child wel' fare societies on benalf of her work.

Miss Wilson has received within the nam w..r i000 requests for driinih alone. nin of these requests have come from nuifcldo of tho United States and fiom such remote points as Rio Janeiio, other Brazilian cities nnd Newfoundland Hut Miss Wllbon does not despair. Shu has mustered togt thei all the courage and all the s)inpath) of her IS ears and has settled down to work to carry her plans to success. In January of this year Miss Wilson visited Washington for tho purpose of obtaining from tho r.'nvcrn ment a franking privilege, something on the order of the one enJo)ed by Senators and Representatives for the purpose of sending to folks nt home speeches they never delivered. liENIUH FHANKl.VO PIUVII.KOi: MUs Wilson wanted a franking privilege which would permit her to send her rflfts by mall and paicel pi,t without charge. On this matter she taw the President, Sccretar) Or) an. Admiral Dowe), Vice President Marshall.

The purchase by Mark Holler of lot northwest corner of Third and Porter streets, extending from Third to Fourth street nnd from Illtner to Porter street, from the Glrard cutate, estates of Anna T. King nnd John H. McNeill, Is by far one of the most Important trans actions In the 39th Ward, and the ag gregate cost was $C2,W)0. , The sale of portion belonging to thi estate of Stephen Glrard, confirmed by the Orphans' Court, after statement by tho trustees, was owing to the fact "that It was far removed from otlujy realty of tho Glrard estate and cannot be adapted for the kind of Improvement thnt the estate Is engaged In," such as the operation nt 20th and Porter streets, now extending to 21st street, and In which tho Btipply Is far short of tho demand creating a very substantial waiting list. On tho other hand the purchaser shows very good Judgment ln acquiring this block of property. It Is on the southeast edge of the built-up portion Tho trolleys making the turn at Fourth and Rltncr streets, one of the corners, four lines of cars radiating to different sections, use tho Fourth and Fifth street tracks, and enst and west lines can be found on Snyder avenuo three squares to the north. More than 200 dwellings, with stores at tho corners, will be erected. They will bo of the two-story type and one half of thenv are now under vva), cl!nis and cellar walls appearing on the Rltner street front. The need of this operation Is apparent by the few properties "for sale or to rent" In tho locality, and great Impetus has developed from activity along tho river front, with the deeper channel, tho opening of the Panama Cnnal and the proposed enlarged opera tions of the Pennsylvania and other rail roads. In connection with large wharf facilities, all requiring a great amount of labor, which must be housed. The section has a main sewer running east on Shunk street from Bioad street to Weccacoo avenue until It meets the plant of the Pcnns)lvnnla Salt Manufac turing Company. It runs south to Oregon avenue nnd east to the Delaware River. The grades of streets In that section are to be changed to accommodate Its opera tions. This with laterals, will allow the building up of all that land l)lng north of the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks nnd between Rrond street on the west and Swnnson street on the eaBt. Car servlco will he extended to meet the situation This section bids fair to be the thea tre of coming activity along real estate lines. NORTHWEST SECTION Avallnblo lots for building purposes wero further reduced this week by the settlement for property ln the 41d Ward and transfer to v.harles J. Heckler. They are situated at Park avenue and Mc- Ferran street, with front of 310 SV, feet on the north and south sides of Mc rerian 3treet, SO feet on Pnik avenue and COO feet on Thirteenth street. McFerrnn street nnd Thirteenth street will be opened by dedication, making a public improvement nt this point. This is nn extiemely well-built-up nnd husv suction, near lines of the Richmond flranch of the Philadelphia nnd Rending Railway nnd industrial establishments in cident thereto It Is also fnvored h nu merous car line routes In everv direction. An operation of It dwellings is planned. This piece of real estate is practically tho last piece of ground which can h ac quired In the neighborhood of Hronil street and Erio avenue, the nearest large holding west of Old York road being along Hunting Park avenue, where vacant ginund is held at $10,000 per ncie. Hor ace Groskln was the broker in this transaction. NOTES ON THE STREET The stnrt of these operntlons indicates that trust companies nnd banks, which had virtually ceased to do business with builders, are beginning to show confidence In tho future by again handling opera tions. Money Is much easier In the last ten days than It hns been since the begin nlng of unsettled conditions. No special locnllt) Is In favor In the transfers. There Is some nctlvity In tho Elmwood avenue section, southwest of Sixtieth street LESSOR. ORDER TO CHARGE BRINGS RELIEF TO BATTLE LINE Sensations Before Fighting Are Worse Than Combat Itself. nnntiiN, sept, a Some psychological studies ns to the sensations of tho soldier who faces a shower of bullets, which wero written by Colonel Mnrglarottl, of the Italian army, aro published In Bohemia, a newspaper In Prngue. The question as to how a soldier feels at the height of battle was put to about 2000 men who had seen servlco In Tripoli. Almost to a man they agreed that the sensation experienced In battle Itself was not ns strong as the fear before the bnttlc. The most excitable moment was that In which tho first shots wero filed The worst rxeience of most of the soldiers was having to stand still In lino of battle; It was the greatest relief imaginable to bo ordered to run forward. Some said their Hensatlons In battle In cluded trembling, tears, hnlr standing on end, hoarseness and even ) awning. All of tho replies Indicated that the soldiers wero largely Influenced by tho conduct of their Immcdlnte superiors Asked whether It was patriotism, oath of fidelity, or the thoughts of penalties tn which they were liable that led men for ward to their duty, almost all of the men replied: "I went forward because my lieutenant went forward." The of ficers above lieutenants were rarely men tioned, ror the men did not come much In contact with them.

Any one who doubts the necessity of nn elevated road from the heart of tha tlty to Frankford should take a ride anj morning on route No Hundred! of working girls, nnd working men, too. are obliged to stand practically tho en tire lourney Sometimes they are lucky fnougli to get a stiap which dangles ovcihr.iil, but when they don't the pas sengers support each other They nra wedged too tlghtlv to fall. And so they ride, postllng, swinging nnd hanging by their finger onds from Frankford nvcnu and llrldge street, the northern terminus, nil the win- to Sixth and Mnrket streets. wIiitp most of the exhausted passengers leave to go to work, tired out before they begin their da)'s labor The ear then proceeds to Its southern terminus, Sixth nnd Rltner streets. To obtnln accurate Information about this Pniiikfnrd line, an Evening Lkdokr re porter took the Interesting ride this morn ing from Bridge street. Ho was lucky enough to obtain a sent by entering the ear before It started For two whole blocks there was plenty of room, but when the ear reached Margaret street there was a rush, and In less than tvVt minutes everv seat was occupied. At Orthodox iiu.et, live minutes Inter, there was a similar rush for straps, and fullv n dozen frail little girls, bnre.lv tt the ofllclal working age, leached for -traps to rest C) during the long ride tn Market street One girl, evidently ac customed to the ordenl, managed to vvdisp n little package of lunch under her right elbow ind read a book With the disengaged left hand she practically dangled from a strap " And so she rode to Market street, trip of 42 minutes from where shti boarded the car A few of the ulrla lucky enough to get teats offered their laps to somo n f the girl strap-hangers. Although the enr was uncomfortably packed nt Orthodox street, there were nt least two dozen workers taken on at Allegheny avenue There was no room, but they got in by rushing, squeezing nnd standing with ftet cloe together. The lurching nnd sudden stopping of the car fortunately did no harm, for there wns a olld mass of passengers from ond to end. Even those fortunate enough tn have seats didn't have room to read their newspapers. Some, on nllghtlnK at Market street, scanned their papers at. the walked to their places of cm plo)ment. AVORIvHRS STAND 12 MINUTES. The actual time trade from Bridga fctreet, the beginning of the route, to Market street, wns 17 minutes, and a the car wns packed at Orthodox street, live minutes from the starting point, penres of little workers hnd to stand packed together like cattle for min utes befoie they went to the stores to stand for the remainder of the day.
