KNOW LITTLE ABOUT GUNS
Magazine Reader criticizes NoveIists
for Their Ignorance of the
Subject.

"Of all the fool people that are let
crank as he disgustedly threw across
the room the magazine he had been
reading, the alleged gunfighter is the
worst! Why don't the authors who
want to put shooting into a novel at
least go to gun store and see what a
they try to write about it!
Magazine editors who go in for
that sort of fiction ought to have a
gun editor who would know the differ
ence between a derringer and scatter
gun, and who would at least be aware
of the fact that It isn't the trigger that
clicks when you cock a shooting iron
Of any sort-although ignorant novel
lists have been producing thrills and
shivers In equally ignorant readers
with that click of the trigger so long
that the mistake has become a classic.
Nov, here's an author" and the
gun crank picked up the magazine he
had Just thrown down and found the
sentence which had set him of.
Here's an author who makes one of
his characters, represented as a crack
a-jack with a gun of any sort, 'twirl
the cylinders of his revolver with the
practiced thumb as he gets ready to
shoot How many cylinders does
that author think revolver has, any,
way, and what does he think the cylin-
der is for, and what does he sup
pose would happen to man who stop
ped to play with his gun in that way
when somebody else had the drop on
him?
And the other day I read about an
other fighting man in a novel who
his creator alleged, had carefully filed
away the trigger spring of his rifle
And I've been trying ever since to fig
ure out what the author supposed
himself to mean and what he imag-
ined he was going to make his hero
accomplish by such an asinine pro-
ceeding as that.
But it's no use trying to find sense
In such stuff. There isn't one novel
writer in a thousand, anyway, who
would know the difference between a
six-shooter and a skyscraper,'

HANDY TRUCK FOR ASH CANS
Receptacle About Without Fear
Of Selling Hands.

Many house holders employ a man
by the week - carry out the ashes
solely because the job soils his own
hands or clothing. A New York man
has come to the rescue by inventing
truck on which the ash barrel or
can can be wheeled out to the curb
with ease and freedom. The truck

except that the side bars converge at
the top into a single handle. and In a
slot near the top of these bars is a
sliding hook which engages the tops
Of barrels or cans. There are two
claws on the hook, thus giving 1t more
latitude. Heretofore the operation of
rolling out the ash barrel meant to
anvelop oneself in cloud of dust. and
1t was a job that could not safely be
trusted to a woman servnat-hence
the chore man. With this truck, how

In the meantime, tack a card near

This the tenant did. and, as the
days passed without the use Of the
bell. he added as follows:
Windows and doors don't fit"
Faucets don't shut water on"
Water won't run from bathtub."
Stairs have no ratings"
These brought the long disagree
ment to a climax and the tenant

On one such occasion a close friend

When Rubber Was a PIaythino.

When rubber was first discovered It
was plaything. The discovery was
made during Columbus second voy-
age, when Herrera found that the ma
tives Of Hayti played a game with
balls made Of the gum of a tree"
Even as early as the beginning of the
seventeenth century, however, the
Spaniards used rubber to waterproof
their cloaks, but the fact attracted no
attention in the old world, and it was
not until the eighteenth century that
the rubber industry began. Very
early in history there was an oil ex-
tracted from rubber which was taken
incidentally with cocoa.
