Marksman Button Won by Woman

Marksman button Won by Woman.
Officials of the recent national shoot
ing tournament at Sea Girt, n. j., are
in quandary as to whether to certify
a woman to the war department as an
expert marksman, says the New York
Herald. The woman is Mrs. Elizabeth
Topperwein of San Antonio, Tex, the
only competitor of her sex on the
range. She earned marksman button
and got it, but the question of certifi-
cation must be settled by the national
board for the promotion of rifle prac-
tice. Mrs. Topperwein was excluded
by their conditions from the big
matches, but she entered the national
marksmen match, a continuous compe-
tition, which entities those making
so points out of total of 75 to be en-
rolled in the war department as a ma
tional marksman. She shot with an
automatic rifle and made a total of so.
She was congratulated on all sides.

The finger prints TO he taken at the

simply in taking the impressions OF the
fingers on carbon paper. The fingers OF
the right hand only will have their tips
impressed by placing the five on afbOn
paper. and then this is to be placed
upon specially prepared white paper 70
secure the desired results. These prints
are to be sent TO Washington and there
classified and placed on file.
The finger print system has been
adopted. even to the extent that the
imprint will be taken, when possible, OF
soldiers found dead en- the battlefield.
With this imprint inclosed in a vial
and buried with the soldier, il is
thought that in future wars there need
be no unknown dead" for the identity
of the soldier can be traced by the
finger print when all other evidence is
gone.

Prevents Fraud and Grim
inaIs Will be Unable
To Enlist.

Finger prints of every recruit in the
United States army are to be taken
with photographs, at the different army
posts and recruiting stations in the
United States, Hawaii, Porto Rico and
the Philippines. During the time there
are no rookie subjects to work on, the
same are to be taken of all enlisted
men of the army.
The war department but recently
adopted the finger print method for
preventing undesirable men enlisting
in the service, says the New York
World. At Washington a central sta.
ton for the reception OF all finger
prints taken in every penal institution
in the United States using this identih'
cation system is to be opened and tbs
finger prints of all men serving in the
army are to be compared with these.
In this manner criminals will be kept
out of the service 1t is also to be used
in preventing men who have been dis
honorably discharged from the army
re-enlisting under assumed names.
AFOREMENTIONED Officers Work.
Nonc0mmissioned officers OF the sig
nal corps are to have charge of the
work of obtaining photos and finger
prints at the larger recruiting stations,
such as jefferson Barracks, Columbus,
o.. and Fort Wood, n. Y. At all small
military posts and all small recruiting
stations the hospital corps will have
charge, but at the larger posts experts
in the art of photography are TO have
charge.
The Photographic work will consist
in taking two portraits of the recruit,

OFFICIAL CROP BULLETIN.

: Huron, s. D., May 4.-The following
is the general summary found in the
weeks official crop bulletin issued here
by the South Dakota section of the gov
ernment's Genealogical service:
The weather conditions were variable.
The week opened fair n warm, but
after Tuesday there was considerable
cloudiness and unsettled weather e
the state, with unusually frequent rains
in many of the eastern counties. Ac-
cording to reports received, the rainfall
over the extreme western portion OF the
state was below the normal. and in
portions of the Black Hills district
there is a deficiency of moisture in the
soil. Over the eastern portion of the
state the precipitation averaged above
the normal, but was not u~nfavorable
except hat it retarded outdoor work
and rendered some low land too wet.
The temperature of the week aver
aged q little above the normal, and was
favorable. On Tuesday the maximum
generally exceeded so degrees, and in
some places reached 80 or 81 degrees.
The latter art of the week vas rather
cool. The minimum temperatures,
which mostly occurred on Friday o
ing, were sufficiently low in some
northern localities TO cause frost which,
however, was not injurious. There was
some high wind during the first half
IF the week.
