ger Of the gun and cause an accidental
discharge Of the piece. In the illus
tration we show novel shooting shirt,
the invention Of Western man, the
object being to produce shooting
shirt that is worn outside the trousers.
In making such garments it has been
customary to attach the patch pockets
to different parts Of the garment,
which for shooting purposes is not
very satisfactory, because it tends
to drag the garment out Of shape, but
this shirt oyercomes that. as we'll as
providing pockets extending all around
the bottom of the shirt. It consists Of
body portion with any desired form
Of sleeves and front opening which
extends part way down the front. For
shell pockets the end or the shirt is
turned up and secured to the body Of
the shirt by seams on the front, sides
and back, thus forming pockets
around the bottom Of the shirt. Being
integral with the shirt, they are, there
fore, stronger, as we'll as much simpler
to make. This does away with the
disadvantage Of patch pocket and
allows Of a pocket extending all
around the shirt Suitable buttons can
be secured to the shirt body, to which
the pockets may be buttoned near the
top.

that it could be quickly grasped when
wanted. This device supplies this
need, so that the handle will always
remain in the position placed. Pairs
Of Jugs are attached to the rim on
each side Of the utensil by rivets or
other means, the end of the handle be-
ing formed into disks which go be-
tween, and are pivoted in the centel
Of the hugs. Sliding upon the ends OF
the handle are small plates, the under
surfaces having ribs which bear upon
the Jugs. Coiled around the handle
and bearing against the plate ara
springs, limited in upward movement
by transverse pins. By this simple ar
rangement it will be obvious that the
plates will be held by the full force
Of the springs against the Jugs and
produce brake-like. action which
holds the handle in any position
placed. This device could be attached
to any form Of kettles, or similar
utensil having handles, and would be
found very convenient and useful In
culinary operations.

yacht Club. and Houees.

A. II. Aldridge in an article recent
ly published in Pearson's Magazine,
estimated that more than $43,0O0,0 900
is invested in yachts, 100000 in
clubhouses and club property and that
over 100000 is spent every year for
pleasure in yachting. There are now
800 clubs devoted to yachting in the
United States. A careful examination
Of the records Of yachts shows that
there are 512 steam yachts, 1919 aux
iliaries, 205 schooners, 1922 sloops and
cutters, 226 yawls, 146 catboats and
B08 launches with gas, electric or
naphtha motors, making a total Of g.
118 yachts.
No record is kept Of sailing craft
that are less than twenty-five feet
long on the deck, and there is no list
Of launches that are less than twenty
five feet long. Of these, it was esti-
mated by a prominent builder recent
", there are more than 10000 in the
waters Of this country. There are 512
eamers; 129 are built entirely Of
eel. These steel vessels are worth
1924, 900. ALI modern boats are
)uilt Of steel, and the seven that are
over 300 feet in length are among the
handsomest In the world. The twen-
ty-fve vessels Of composite build are
worth $969,000 and the wooden boats
are worth $7099,O00. This makes a
total for the steam yachts owned by
American yachtsmen of S25,362,000.

Of the fifteen long-term Indian pris-
oners now incarcerated in the United
States penitentiary at McNeips island,
on Puget sound, twelve who have
been there for less than three years
are in the last stages Of consumption
and none can live more than another
year. All are under sentence for from
ten to twenty years. Warden O. 2.
Halligan, in discussing the situation,
says: From my experience with the
Alaska Indians and Eskimos doing

opinion that the majority of both races
have hereditary tuberculosis and that
the confinement develops it."
