GRAND AMERICAN
HANDICAP SHOOTERS

INDIANAPOLIS, June 20-The opening
day of the grand American handicap under
inc auspices of the Interstate Association
yesterday was 4narred by several showers
that proved drawback to crowds and to
the enthusiasm of the trap shooters. but
the scores averaged pretty well for the first
day. though none of them was remarkable.
There were ten preliminary events OF
twenty targets each. Practically al of the
old shooters were present, but besides these
there were many younger men who had
entered for the events. One of the best rec
ords made was that of ]. A. r. elliott OF
New York city, who hit 1913 targets out Of
a possible 200 making a clean score in six
of the ten events, eighteen in three others
and nineteen in another. Henry 5. Weils
of New York city broke 179 targets. making
one clean score and nineteen Ia two others,
but falling to sixteen in one. George irei'f
duplicated the score by cleaning up one
event and falling to sixteen targets In an
other Sim Glover of New York city and
George Mosher of Syracuse each made
score of 1T0 while Il. H. Keller of New
York dropped to 10f.

A LATTER OF DEGREE.
Apparent Fondness OF Americans tor
Titles

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Americans profess to scorn titles. al
though. In truth, they do not. Cut on
from acquisition of the genuine, save by
questionable purchase. they compromise
with the colonel of the south and the
Judge" of the north. neither military nor
judicial service being an essential pre-
liminary.
A coveted distinction is that OF an honor
airy degree given by some institution OF
learning, permitting, as 1t does. the prefx
doctor" When an educator or publicist
is addressed as doctor one takes for
granted that he is a doctor OF laws or
divinity or philosophy In the last m
stance he has done some painful though
useless work to earn his title. or ne may
be erudite. He never Is doctor OF
divinity without some basis In study ana
experience, but he may be an LII. D. and
know about laws only enough generally TO
obey them. When Mr. Carnegie Is IN
receptive mood he is kept busy acknowiedg-
ing tenders of LIDS He accepts them
now from force Of habit.
The King of Italy Is to be made an
LII D. by our university, and doubtless
his majesty will be uplifted in mind to
learn that America Is aware that he VIII
bear his new exaltatton with dignity. A
king ought to know enough about laws
to doctor them when they need II, and
to take his place with the army OF dis
distinguished Americans that at every COM
mencement season Is augmented to the ex-
tent of a regiment or two. 1t Is perhaps
unfortunate that the visible token OF the
degree is not IN the form OF a medal, SO as
to shine among the other decorations or
the royal front, but this is a detail. The
king will appreciate the cracking and en-
bossed scroll and. while he may regret
| that 1t is not designed for purposes OF dis
play he can find in contemplation OF II
comfort and even JOY.
While in nowise inclined to suggest to
American universities the proper course
when they have degrees to give out. there
can be no harm in calling attention to the
fact that the field is wide. Habfbuiia Khan

MATERIAL FOR MUSIC STRINGS.
Source of Supply-Great Amount Re-
CURED to Meet Demand.

quired to Meet Demand.
From the Kansas City Journal
"One of the most generally accepted. but
mistaken, ideas that is entertained by the
people of this country" said g. r. Huyett
American travelling representative of a for
eign mandatory of gut strings, SIS that
strings used on musical instruments are
manufactured from catgut II that were
true. the cats in this world would have been
exterminated many years. ago in supplying
the market with material fer musical tn
strument strings.
1.-THE fact is that they are manufactured
from the intestines OF sheep and In obtain
Ing enough raw material even from these
animals the manufacturers at times find diff
ficulty.
1.-THE only string made from the intestines
OF the feline Is that used for surgical pur-
poses-for sewing up wounds. One would
be amazed to know that there are millions
OF musical instrument strings used in North
America alone. and just think where the
tabbies would be If they had to supply the
consumption.
Another amazing thing Is that there
are over 700 different grades of musical
instrument strings. The demand for strings
In North America Is increasing every year.
especially In the south and in Mexico There
are more guitar strings seld In Mexico than
any other kind, but through the south the
banjo string still holds it's own, despite the
fact that every year has marked slight oul
gradual falling off in the demand. The harp

good demand for strings for this instru-
naent.

WOMEN CHESS PLAYERS.
Why None of Them Is Mentioned in
the Annals of the Game.

From the Saturday Review.
Ladies' chess clubs are being established
IN various parts OF the country; special In
ducements are held out for the patronage
by the promoters of national and interna-
tionai tournaments, and articles on the
same appear regularly in journals which
cater specially for them. Women have al
ways played and taken part in the game,
though probably never to the same extent
as now. It Is, therefore. remarkable that
In the whole of its enormous literature
there does not appear the name Of any
woman among the stars of the first. second
or third magnitude. One may go through
volume after volume containing thousands
Of games and not find a single one played
by women which any editor has thought
worthy of permanent record.
When the question has been raised be-
fore 1t has been involved with that OF the
intellectual superiority Of one sex over the
other. Today the answer to this would be
totally inadequate and inconsequential
There are men In the front rank of players
at the present moment who by no stretch
of the imagination or the term can be said
to occupy their positions on account of e0-
ceptionaI intellectual endowments. While
the game always appeals to intellectual
men and women, intellect 8 not the only
factor which makes the great player.
A careful examination of the games OF
players whom the world recognizes as great
reveals the fact that the qualities and quail
tiles OF concentration, comprehensiveness,
impartiality, and, above all, a spark OF
originality, are to be found In combination
and In varying degrees. The absence OF
these qualities in woman explains why no
member of the feminine sex has occupied
any high position as chess player
There are many women who are earnest
students OF chess whose knowledge of the
theory principles and all the accouterments
of the game is phenomenal But mere

results, good Judgment Is much superior to

A NOBLE STOCK.
Pride, Dignity and Beauty of the
Modern Spaniards.

From the Nineteenth Century. 81
You may see today in any church portal
in Spain the somber dignity of expression
immortalized In the portraits Of Velasquez;
the sinister cast of countenance of Philip
the Second: the nose and proud bearing or
a Roman centurion. In the Basque prov
inces the dignity and pride of the peasantry
are reflected in the graceful carriage and
symmetry of movement for which the men
of that coast and the girls carrying pitch
ers on their heads are justly celebrated.
There is no trace of awkwardness in a
Spanish peasant, on whose features is
stamped the pride of Rome. who will talk
to you with the ease and Yolubility Of a
Spanish courtier. It is noble stock.
Though today the glory Of Spain has de-
parted, and the modern Spaniard favors
western bowler" and the women wear
Partisan hats, the national type OF Spain
persists with all its dignity and character
istics. Living types Of Murillos street
urchins may be seen In any Spanish village.
A group huddIed together IN some shady
retreat; brown. chubby. curly headed, ner-
~ little rascals, hnching off watermelon
picked up in the market, happy as princes
In their hernpen rags and with their meager

Spain as Goya painted it. A dance in tho
open square. bridal feast. a bullfghters'
carousal a brawl. an eiopenent; the APP
parel Is less gaudy today, but the sun and
the types and the spirit are the same.
That Drawn picador with his wide brim-
med sombrero his swarthy countenai1ce,
aquiline nose and raven locks looks for ali
the world like a Roman gladiator. The lad
at his side, with his finely chiseled fea-
lures, might have waited on Poppaea AID
