 + SLING SHOT SHOOTERS-The
 police desire that mention be made in
 the form of a warning to Young America against the careless and | reckless use of that innocent looking engine of death known as the sling
 shot It is against the regulations to
 use either the sling shots or the air guns within the city limits and the boys should be careful for the police already have a fine collection of these weapons they have taken away from one boy or another. It is not pre- sumed that the boys are murderOusly inclined but bullet from a sling -shot hurts just as much when it strikes an accidental victim instead of a bird as though it were aimed direct. The greatest damage results from the boys
 shooting at birds and il bullets pass
 ing through the trees to the windows of nearby houses.
