generally does all that a servant

many wives do endure this for hall

he was visiting to the Manhattan
range, handily, so he laid two narrow
boards, one above the other, against
an eight inch panel I'm a bay window
facing on a busy street. Against these
sticks he pinned five targets, opened
the doors through three rooms to the
back of the house, took up his posi-
ton as far back as he could get from
the window and with the aid Of one
electric light hung above the 1mprov-
ed butts, fired fifty shots. Luckily for
passers by-and the plate glass win

and the back stops. Needless to
say, practice, under Just these condi-

When he lugged 3S calibre revolver
into the cellar the under ground shoot

vinced the family that the time had
come for change and the Manhattan

scene OF the aspiring marksman's

kept after those black centers as II
there was nothing else in the world
worth while and for months the many
tempting attractions that beckon to
the youth of the big city failed to
steal any time away from the nights
of practice at the Manhattan range.
1t was not long in years but quite
stretch reckoned in shots, before the
champion to be began to show any
thing like top notch form-which ex-
plains how he was able to speak con-
vincingly in making this statement
to the reporters on his return from,
Stockholm last year:
There is only one inraiIible way
by which person can determine whe-

expert shot and that is to buy or

cut of the possible $50. This being
the second time that the New York
expert has captured the event, anoth-
er winning will make him permanent
possessor of the trophy. From field
of sixteen cracks Lane took the All
Corners Military Revolver Match with
1876 out of $50. The grand aggregate
prize also went to the Olympic cham
pion, his tickets summing up for a
total of 1860.
The All Corners Rapid Fire Mill

Lane eventually winning by one
point with 1873 out of the possible
$50. The Bobber Match, an event of
shots at disappearing bullseye car
tons at 40 yards was also captured
by Lane with a total of 70. Two

Champion; in the Military Revolver

Praise Sailors OF U. S. Navy.

Our American sailors in their tour of
the Old World won the respect and
admiration of the citizlns of the coun-
tries visited
The newspaper l. EclaIreur de Nice
published at Villa Franche, voices the
general sentiment in an editorial in
which it says:
"Now that the fine American naval
division is leaving US, we should like to
place on record our admiration for the
remarkably good behavior of the crews,
not only aboard their ships, where dis
cipline is strict, but ashore. Altogether
they behaved like real gentlemen.
Their bearing was irreproachable: their
manners showed good education and
frequently sarose above mere bana
politeness. They taught US French
people. who pay Ino heed to the Mar
seillaise, a lesson when they stood
rigidly at attention during the rendition
of the Star spangled Banner.
Secretary Daniels, when he ordered
the cruise, did more than he foresaw.
He intended to educate the crews, but
he also educated US by showing us such
splendid ships and men.

HAS SURVEY NOTES OF
OLD NATIONAL ROAD
Engineer Shirley Receives Them From
Descendant Of Original Owner.

An interesting relic of the building of
tie national road from Cumberland to
Wheeling by the United States Govern
ment has just been presented to Henry
G. Shirley. chief engineer of the State
Roads Commission, by Andrew Ram
sey, member of the board, to whom it
was presented by Henry Shriver, presi-
dent of the First National bank of Cum
berland.
1t consists of the original notes of the
survey of the road made in 1892 by
Joseph Shriver, civil engineer, who was
president of the bank and who was the
ancestor of Henry Shriver. The book
was found in the bank in 1912 when it
was undergoing rebuilding and is now in
perfect state of preservation. The
entries are all in ink and show every
course and grade in the 100 miles of the
road, with every stream crossed, every
building passed and other useful notes.
1t shows what few people know about
the national road-that it was not orig
inally built through the Cumberland
Narrows, where it is now located, but
followed the old Braddock route over
the top of Wills mountain. The pres
ent road through the Narrows, it is
shown through other sources, was built
in 1885, before the road was turned
over to the state.
Although so early in the history of
The nation and at a time when the Ohio
country was just being developed, there
must have been considerable traffic over
the original road, as the notes show
that from Cumberland to Wheeling the
inns numbered as, or about one to every
three miles. There were no towns on
the route, and where now is Frostburg
there is an entry of two inns, McCul-
lOugh's and Frost's. Where now is the
town of Grantsville there was shingle
inn, and at one place there is a note of
& mill and at an other note of a road
to coal mine.

these states. We have only three tvpes
of instructions where attendance is
compuisory-jalls, asylums, and school
houses. Few of US have to stay long or
frequently IN jails or asylums, but all
OF US spend many years in school houses.
Nevertheless, Ohio alone has complete
regulation of school house construction
to insure the safety and sanitation of
these buildings.
A somewhat better situation is found
with respect to medical inspection of
schools, which is provided for by the
laws of twenty states. That such laws
are needed in the remaining states is
shown by the mass of experience which
demonstrates that efficient medical in
spection betters health conditions among
school children. safeguards them from
disease, and renders them healthier,
happier and more vigorous. Maryland
has no medical inspection laws.
According to the study, the system
of providing free text books for school
children is almost century old In
America, having been inaugurated by
by Philadelphia 95 years ago. At the
present time IL states have free text
books throughout their schools, Is have
them in certain districts, and in the re-
naming q states the system does not
exist. Maryland is among the first Il
states IN this respect. School books
bought by the community cost the COM
munity 20 per cent. less than when they
are bought by individuals. One unfor-
seen feature of the passage of the
Massachusetts free text book law was
an immediate increase of 10 per cent in
high school attendance
Thirty-six of the 48 states have state
wide compulsory attendance laws.
Compulsory education began in Germany
and Massachusetts in the 18th century,
and in France and more than half OF
the states of the Union in the 18th
century. Ignorance and intelligence
perpetuate themselves, this report
declares, and that is why compulsory
education is necessary and why after a
few decades it becomes unnecessary.
Maryland is one of the six states which
have compulsory laws in part of their
territories.
In general all-round efficiency, this
study places Washington first among
the states of the Union, with Massa-
chusetts close second, and New York
third. All of the states have weak
points which need to be remedied. The
object of this study at the present time
is to bring these weak points to the at
tention of educators and to place in the
hands of the state legislators ar
authoritative statement of present
public school conditions.
