NEW AUTOMATIC RIFLE.

Improved Weapon for Foot Soldiers.

Washington, Nov. 9.

A newly-designed automatic rille which Army ordnauco- experts believe will All the long-folt want for such a weapon will be ready for test at an early date.

This was revealed 'to-day in the annual report of Maj-Gen, Samuel Hof, Chief of Ordnance of the Army.

Recently, Gen. Hof, in an address before a body of ordnance manufac- turers, pointed out that thus far nó. nation has adopted a light automa- every re- tic rifle satisfactory in spect for the use of infantry.

Smaller Units.

The weapon soon to be tested is It the result of great 'research. will be of the .30 calibre type and be carried by auffelently light to foot soldiers. The possibility exists. that if the gun is found thoroughly satisfactory it may lead to a redis- tribution of infantry forces into smaller units, which however, would have the same firing capacity as the prezent units of 250 men equipped with rifles whose magazines hold only five bullets.

Gen. Hal's raport also revealed that during the last year a semi- automatic 27 mm. gun has been comploted and successfully tested.

Still another development of the last year in the ordnance field is a medium tank weighing 16 tons, equipped with two heavy guns and two machine guns, and having a speed of 15 miles per hour.-United Press,

EARTH'S ESCAPE.

NARROWLY MISSED BY A COMET.

The comet_has_swung as close to the earth as it will ever come and

French scientists insist that the learth had a norrqyer escape than most laymen imagined. Had the Uttle comet come on at the speed and angle it did when it was dis- covered by the German astronom.. ers, Schvassmani and Wachmann on May 1, 1930, it would have put a dent in the globe and perhaps have knocked the earth out of Its smooth- running circuit,

Scientists are lost in weird con jectures as to what might have hap pened had the collision actually oc- curred. Some argue that the earth I would have broken into bits at the Impact, others believe that, like a Derby hat, the earth would have been dented but that nothing more eerious would have occurred.

The comet was travelling at a pace which would have left the world far behind. Through, the telescope, watchers could see the comet streak- ing through the held of stare, its progress being such that movement was visible to the eye.

The Meudon scientists succeeded in photographing the new comet and have been able to figure ita size as 400 yards in diameter Instead of tens, hundreds or thousands of miles as astronomers at firat believed.

The rest of the visible mass 18 ultra-rarified carbon gas which makes the comet appear much larger than it really is.

Scientists point out that meteors of that size have struck the earth, but did little damage because they came in at an angle, instead of com- ing directly down and because they came at a much lower speed.

In North-Eastern Arizona is a meteor crater 1,200 yards in dia- mater and 180 yards deep.
