observant and resourcefu he saw an avenue of hope

swift reward.

 Fifty Bird Shoot.

Handicapped by freakish breeZes which materially affected the flight of the clay birds, entrants in yes terday's events in the second day s shoot of the Arizona Sportsmen's As sociation at the Country Club grounds. failed to roll up scores so nearly record breaking as those of the opening day. Notwithstanding this unfavorable condition, interest did not lag from the time of the first event until the close of the days pro- gram.
 Greatest interest, of course, cen tered about the third event of the day or the thirteenth of the shoot, which was for the individual cham pionship of the Arizona Sportsmen s Association. This was a fifty-bird event c. Raithal. of Deming, N. NJ, knocked down ty-eght birds and w B. Twitchell tied with him. It was decided that the shoot-off for the championship would occur concur rently with the shooting of the next event. Mir Raithal succeeded in knocking down nineteen birds in this event while Mir. Twitchell made score of eighteen birds. Ar. Raithal therefore takes the title of champion.
 In the sixteenth or merchandise event, of twenty-five birds, MT. Raj thai made the only clean score and secured the prize, a handsome Win chester gun A W. Galpin and w. D. Tanner tied for second place. each having a score of twenty-fou birds. In the shoot-off, MT. Galpin won and drew a prize of an automatic 32 calibre revolver. Five men were tied for third place and D.

Chicago, Dec 12.-WoOdrow Wilson governor elect of New Jersey. spoke at the dinner of the Illinois Manu- facturer's association here tonight on Business and Politics" He said in part: Looked at from the point or view Of the student of public affairs. business is the economic service of sO- ciety for profit. There are two part ners. the concern itself and the pub lie. Politics is an adjustment of all affairs to the common interest. It. thdtefore. must concern itself with the force of business.
 The trouble with the business in terests in the recent. period of eX traordinary expansion has been too much exploitation. too little regard for the permanent interests of so- ciety and all concerned Good busi- ness rests upon community of inter ests
 We have been too apt to set con- captions of prosperity in a very near sighted way We have supposed prof itable business meant prosperous nation. wheras profits. obtained against general interests. may be piled high but cannot contribute to general prosperity"

the property owners as to the actual value of these various pavements. the cost of labor and material. opinions as to various contractors. and meth ods of financing the work.
 We believe that the best method to secure active competition on street paving would be to have two sets of specifications prepared on which bids should be asked for. one of which would allow various contrac tors prepared to lay concrete asphalt to bid. and the other drawn allowing contractors who are prepared to lay bitulithic pavement to bid.
 From the foregoing facts and fig ures it will be seen that the cost of paving is not going to be nearly as serious a proposition as at first an ticipated, and all that it needs is the co operation on the part of the prop erty owners to secure a fine system of paved streets with but short delay.

added to the cost of paving the square of the intersecting streets. makes a total of about $1.43 per running foot, or about S7l.5O for a 50-fot lot.
 We believe that in order to verify the information obtained by this committee without delay a special committee of three should be appoint ed to visit the city of Fl PasO, where the bitulithic paving can be seen in the process of construction, as well as the same exists after five years use; and also to visit Riverside and adjacent cities in southern California, where concrete asphalt pavement can be seen under the same conditions. In this investigation they could Ob- tain much valuable information from
