Garand
Is
the
way
In
which
he
has
given
over
full
domestic
and
foreign
rights
to
his
invention
to
his
adopted
country.
He
holds
a
civilian
post
which
returns
him
a
salary
of
something
less
than
$10,000
a

while
the

retains
the
patent
on
his
life's
work,
and
hence
is
saved

The
fame
which
he
shuns
came
late
to
Mr.
Garand.
When

mother
died,
John,
one
of

but
Mr.
Garand
was
the
first
to
employ
the

effectively
In

In

the

thus:

but
also
to
eject

and
push
another
cartridge
into
place
In
the
firing-chamber.
The
gun
therefore
is
semi-automatic,

Firing
its
bullets

than
