says the Army and Navy Journal, are

is to be taken that when a moving tar

of uniform height and the intervals be-

artillery in action the dummies are to
be carefully placed as much under

AT FIRST sight It would seem some
important changes are now going on
In the social habits OF the nation.
judging from the Just issued report OF
the commissioner of internal revenue,
which shows that during the first
three months of the present fiscal year
the receipts from the sale OF cards
have fallen on greatly. while those
from bowling alleys. billiard rooms.
theaters and music halls have in
creased. As cards have long been
prominent factors in the amusement
OF many households and regular social
functions. this indicated lessening OF
their field of activity, taken in con-
nection with advances In the other
forms of recreation mentioned. might
be regarded as showing a growing
preference for other than home pleas
ures. The probabilities are. however,
that cards for the house as a party
feature and for other uses more open
to criticism are in as great demand
as ever, the decrease of revenue re-
ceipts from this source being no doubt
merely n sign that II is the beginning
OF the end with progressive euchre as
form OF social psstime.-Philadei-
phia Times.
