Such action had not been expected,

Virginia for the trial. The new order
means that about forty shots will
go to Camp Perry for trial lasting

of practice on what is regarded as
the best rife range in the United

tation furnished and receive full SER

expects to get the practice team corr
rallied at Camp Perry about August

to about August 20, when the match
shooting will be begun. and those who
succeed in making the team will re-
main. Those who fail will return to-
their homo stations
Although each company In the State
may name two men TO take part in
the try-out, many of them have no
men who wish to participate, and 1t is
not expected the number will exceed
forty. From these will be selected
the best fifteen, twelve to be shots and
the other three ordnance men. In
case OF Illness to one of the shots one

Responding to the demands made by
the railroads of the State that they be
allowed to comply with the new law by
having their scales tested by official
sealers of weights and measures, many
new sealers have been appointed
within the past week or two. In most
counties and cities Of the State there
have been no official sealers for some
time. there being very little demand
for their services, and the job being
hardly worth the taking.
However, under the new law, rail-
way scales must be tested and sealed,
and penalty attaches for every fail
ure Therefore, the railroads are anx-
ious. Colonel John W. Richardson,
