RIFLE PRACTISE
FOR THE NAVY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-For
the purpose of making the men of
the navy as proficient in the use
of small arms as they are in the
use of the big guns of their ships.
the government is establishing a
target range at Guantanamo, Cuba,
that will be one of the most COM
plete of its kind in the world.
Guantanamo is regarded as an ideal
place for rifle practice. The range
Is on the reservation over which
this government has central as a
naval station, and is removed from
settlements, so that practice of
this character can be carried on
with safety. A recent report to the
department shows that already 200
targets have been erected and when
completed there will be 500. These
ranges will be at 200, 800, 600 and
1000 yards in length. The range
will be utilized in the winter naval
maneuVers. Suitable medals and
other awards for excellence in
craftsmanship have been provided
as Incentives for the men to attain
a high degree of efficiency. Di-

Curiosity Baffled

EDIBURGH, Oct. 16.-Led deep

castle, in the Grampian hills Of
Scotland, by his father, the old
earl of Strathmore, Lord CLAIMS,
heir to the vast Strathmore es-
tates, has just had revealed to him
the dread secret OF the castle.
The revelation was the chief of
all the presents received by Lord
CLAIMS on his twenty-first birthday.
For centuries the family law has
provided that the mystery of the
castle be in the keeping of not
more than the reigning earl, his
estate manager and his eldest son.
For hundreds of years kings
even have tried in vain to induce
the Strathmore family to reveal
the secret.

ershp and voluntarily it. The others depend on
him. 1t is SO much easier to follow than to lead.

sacrifices of time and energy The others lean the
leaders.
The same thing is true in state legislatures, in
gress. A very few do the real work of legislation
The others simply mark time. They lean the strong

Are you lifting or leaning?
There is lot Of work to do in the word-not merely
big tasks-common everyday work. And do more

many lean them.
Is there some willing you who is lifting
