ENGINEERING SALES DEPARTMENT Columbia, South Carolina, Box 1013 Phone 3670—41464 DESIGNERS, FABRICATORS, and ERECTORS By Tad Kesting Riflemen have always believed that shock occurred at the in stant of a bullet’s impact. This was principally because most never gave it any real thought, and there was no way, until re cently, of verifying or discredit ing the belief. Now it has been found, according to Bill Depper- man, that shock occurs after im pact. In this day of ultra-high-speed photography and timing equip ment a bullet can be “stopped” dead in its tracks, at the scien tist’s will, with photos made at speeds as fast as three million ths of a second. Western Cartridge Company has released such pictures, of experiments with .22 caliber bullets, both solid and hollow point, being fired through gela tin blocks, which closely re semble, in consistency, animal tissue without bones. The experiment, first, con firmed what has long been known by other means of ar riving at the conclusion, that the more a bullet expands as it passes through tissue, the more shock it delivers. Thus, a bullet that pierces an animal complete ly shocks that animal less than one which lodges in his body. But unexpectedly the experi ments also revealed that maxi mum shock was produced with either solid or hollow point bul lets, of approximately the same velocity, after the bullets had passed completely through the gelatin blocks. In fact, they were a full foot beyond the blocks when maximum impact was observed! Renew Today CHAPPELLS MRS. L. E. WERTS Correspondent School will close here Friday until after the holidays.

This magnificent structure is just one of the many sttite-owned buildings which make | Columbia truly a city belonging to South CarolinaL In every sense of the word this is your State House and Columbia is your Capital City. \ The imposing capitol proudly wears honorable scars inflicted by Sherman's guns. Standing half-completed at the time of the Federal invasion of 1865, it demon strated to the world the stability and strength of South Carolina granite. This excellent building material was supplied by three quarries on the Congaree river. t » Although begun in 1851, the building was not finally completed until 1905. The chief cause of delay was the war between the states and the trying reconstruc tion period which followed. The original designs for the building were made by John R. Niernsee but other architects added many revisions before the building reached its present state at an estimated cost of $1,785,600.00. If you are one of those South Carolinians, who have never seen your State House or your Capital City, plan a visit in the near future. The State House is Just one of many historical landmarks and points of interest in Columbia, which you should see. You'll find the citizens of Columbia ready, at all times, to give you a hearty welcome and to extend true Southern hospitality.
