Design New Guns for Army Amid Growth in Field Artillery
The Army Ordnance Department reports active work on new calibers and improved mobile artillery for field use. A pilot 3 inch gun and a 38 inch howitzer on split-trail mounts have shown promise at Sandy Hook, with larger 4.7 and 6 inch systems under development to extend range. Advisory committees on aeronautics and naval cooperation are organized, with tests and meetings planned, including a national match in October at the Florida State rifle range.

In a Chicago Lakeside Cardroom a dealer recalls Judkins losing a huge pot to Simpson's clever bluff.
