COMPANY B Wins STATE
MATCH And LEA TROPHY

Company B Of Milford won the an.
nual State rifle match OF the Organized
Militia Of Delaware, held on the State
Rife Range last Saturday. High wind
and cold weather inconvenienced the
msrksmen greatly in their shooting,
and consequently the scores were low.
Company E Of Newark secured second
honOrs, with Company G Dover third.
Under the prevailing conditions, the
scores were quite satisfactory. Excel
lent scores were made in both slow and
rapid fire, at the 200 yard range, where
the wind did not defect the bullets.
Extreme high winds seriously affected
the scores at the 1000 yard range. Com.
pany B Of Milford also took the Lea

Preston Lea for high score at rapid firs
and skirmish shooting The scores
were: State match Company B, $50;

siOnally it is amusing to watch the
antics Of some Of those who attempt o
pass through these doOTs. Recently two
women got into two separate parts Of
the door, and each pushed the wrong
way, and therefore they were held pris

forward, and soon became excited so
that the janitOr had to go to their relief.
Even Howard Il Sapp, the auto ex-
pert, became cOnfu ed and was the but
of the crowds amusement for several
minutes last week. All that is required
to pass through, is to enter the opening
at the right hand Of the door you desire
to 60 through, and then gently push on
the front partition and follow it as it
turns, and your entrance is made quick
ly and safely. The revolving doors are

LETTERS CANCELLED BY MACHINERY.

In the Milford Post Office there is in
operation the only letter canceling ma
chine in Delaware south Of Dover, and
it is sure q slick piece OF machinery.
The letters are placed before the feeding
slot ia stack and the machine does the
rest by the operator turning a small
crank wheel. The letters are delivered
in stack ready for the sorters to either
place in the case or deliver to the car
riers. Even the receiving date is placed
on the letters In the same manner by
the machine. This does away with the
old way Of doing the work, which was
pounding each letter twice by hand and
a stamp twice to do the same work.
This saves a half hours work Oh each
mail for one person. and expedites the
