WASHINGTON (AP)--National Guard Field Artillery units in 15 states have been authorized by the war department to change immediately from horse-drawn to truck-drawn equipment. Outfits affected by the order included the 60th Field Artillery Brigade, 35th Division, which has units in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. The plan is in line with the motorization project of the regular army, now more than 50 percent mechanized.

The above dispatch means that the horses of Battery E, 161st Field Artillery, which have been a familiar sight on Fort Scott's streets since the city secured a battery a number of years ago, will soon disappear. And that the rattle of the caissons of the Battery's four French .75s, which have often been heard in parades, will not be replaced by the rumble of motor trucks. For, if the usual practice is followed, it is said, the guns will be removed from the caissons and placed in the trucks when it is desired to move them any distance. It is expected that the battery here will receive four trucks, one for each of its guns.

Hal Bolye's Column: NEW YORK (AP)--Things a columnist might never know if he didn't open his mail bag: That about 75 percent of America's public school principals now have the authority to spank their pupils--but most spare the rod. That most mama elephants rarely give birth to twins, and who can blame them? That the average weight of the three ships with which Columbus discovered America was about 60 tons. And you have a good memory if you can still recall their names: the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria.
