O.. next summer will be the greatest
shooting tournament in the history OF

practically every civilized and some
OF the semi-civilized nations OF the
world have Indicated their purpose
to send team to the match. the

enough sharpshooters at Camp Perry
to form brigade. Isl b.
The recent victory OF the American
team at Buenos Ayres, and In Stock
holm In the Olympic games, has con-
vinced the military authorities OF
other nations that the marksmen OF
this country lead all others. The Tor
Stgn military authorities say they are
anxious to participate in the Camp
Perry event in order to become bet
ter acquainted with the American
system OF developing marksmen.
They are at loss to understand
how the American rifiemen have been
able to use peep signals in rapid FIR.
ing. Military authorities Of other ma
lions have not considered peep sights
suitable for service conditions. They
did not think that rapid firing could
be done with any degree Of accuracy
by the use Of peep sights. But In the
Pan-American match at Buenos Ayres,
and the Olympic shoot at Stockholm.
this theory was exploded by the
American teams. The American
marksmen. according to official rec
ords, received at the department here.
not only made more hits. but fired
more rapidly.
The United States minister at
Buenos Ayres in his latest report to
the state department, speaks in the
highest terms Of the conduct Of the
American team. As the result Of the
teams remarkable record and its
sportsmanlike conduct, the minister
reports that Argentine, Brazil. Chilli.
Peru and Uruguay have decided to
send teams to the Camp Perry inter
national match. Reports of the same
character come from the Olympic
matches, which indicate that all Of
the nations of the Old World will be
represented at the event.

Washington.-"An army crawls on
its belly, but 1t has to use Its legs
to do it,. . ........
With this seemingly paradoxical
adaptation of the dictum Of famous
general, officers of the United States
army are today giving .forcible ex'
preston to the vital importance OF
the matter of the soldiers shoes. Ma
poleon himself once said that he made
war not with the arms but with the
legs OF his soldiers. In expressing his
identical view OF the same question.
Another grand commander. Marshal
Bugeaud, declared that the two great
est problems Of war are to find har:
ness that will not injure horses and
shoes that will not injure men.
Bearing in mind these vigorous ex.
pressions from the mouths OF men
who were great generals when the
United States was hardly born. off,
GERS Of the American army have been
wrestling with the shoe problem for
century. Next to the matter OF
food itself, 1t has been long recog-
nized as OF supreme Importance,
though this recognition has not always
resulted in proportionate attention
being paid to the problem,
After many q weary and bitter

and shoe after shoe was tried on the

has now produced shoe which Is
generally pronounced as the most sat

known to that in use in any other
army. This board has presented its
report after four years of experiment.

enabled to recommend a shoe which
all its members feel sure is the best
shoe the soldier could wear. This re-
port IL now In the hands of the war
department, and will soon be taken
up for final consideration by General
Wood, chief Of stan, and his military
advisers. Should the report be &C.

BEWARE OF FRIED FROZEN
EG0."

The department OF agriculture has
issued a solemn warning to the Amer
lean public to beware of the fried
frozen egg" and the boiled dried
egg"
These dread species of hen fruit, &C.
cording to the department flourish
around localities where fresh eggs
are hard to obtain. The department
insists that the traffic in these un-
lowful eggs has increased greatly in
the past few years.
The warning states that there is no
particular harm In freezing a frying
egg or drying boiled egg If the same
is done under the proper sanitary con-
ditions and before the egg obtains a
to venerable age. It warns the pub
lie further that such eggs appear in
cakes and pies. where their inferior
ity may be successfully concealed.

ic problems in talking about 1t.
I'VE all know" said Miss Morgan.
that the girl who makes from five to
six dollars q week cannot possibly
live on her own resources in New
York and save money. I know that
no young woman here can be really
self supporting on less than eight dol
lars q week, but q great many young
women live on less because they are
partially supported by their families.
When any employer tells you that he
pays his girls i've OF. six dollars
week. and that he employs only young
women who live at home, you can be
sure that that employer who does not
pay living wage is practically sub
sidized by the families of his en-
ployes.
THE Vacation Savings fund was or
ganized primarily to help the poorly
paid working girl to save money for
a vacation, but We hope ultimately to
convince employers that a girl who
works only fifty weeks is of greater
value than one who works 81 weeks.
You must know that the greater num-
Der of girls making five and six dol
lars a week do not receive paid vaca-
tons, and those that do have little
chance OF enjoying them, because
their two weeks wages are mortgaged
in advance to their families.
The Vacation Savings fund was
organized to help girls earning small
wages to put>aside sums ranging from
five to twenty-five cents a week for
the purpose of taking two weeks
vacation in the country.
THE girls do not wish to feel that
they were in any way the recipients
of charity, and there Is nothing that
detest more than charity myself.
Charity solves no social problems-in
fact, it retards their solution. So they
