very handsome silver loving cup went
to Miss Bessie Carson, with the score Of
26 out of 30. Miss Harriet Hammand,
president of the club shooting 20

remarkable performance, when one con-

rest Park Gun Club, just outside Of
Baltimore. More than $50 men and wo-
men turned out to see the women shoot
ers perform and they were well satisfied
with the result Several women among
the crowd were highly enthusiastic ovef
the sport and in the near future a wo-
mems club will be formed in Baltimore.
The members OF the local club in
charge of J. Frank Lord and Miss Ham
mond made the trip from Wilmington

present yesterday and broke 90 out OF

couragingly of the women shooters and
said that she would not be surprised to

A Good Woman, Yet Her
Sins of Omission Are
Formidable.

TN one of the greater cities Of
America lives a woman who
i has passed the half century
mark and retained the name Of
"a good woman" She has broken
no commandment; she has never
been talked about; she has been
amisble; she has been charit-
able toward the poor. Yet the
sins of omission OF this good
woman have been formidable.
In early youth she married an
ambitious and studious young
man.
He was bent upon making a
name for himself among the
professional men of his native
State.
He studied hard; he worked
harder: and he succeeded in
placing his name beside those
OF older men Of his chosen pro
fession.
He established a home; and
he prospered in a financial way.
But, being a busy professional
man, he had no time or strength
10 give outside of his own do
main.
The home, he left to the care
of his wife.
The wife left it to the care Of
servants.
She never knew what food

money to restore the ravages Of
neglect and time.
And before the man and wife
reached the age Of sixty they
found themselves in troubled
financial seas.
Both looked prematurely old;
the man from oveTwork and
worry, and the woman from an
idle, inactive life.
There was no bright prospect
for them of a restful and peace
full and comfortable old age.
The man had never spent any
money in riotious living. He
had never been a club man, or
given to extravagant habits.
He had simply erred by being
too patient as a husband, and
by not overseeing the home, and
insisting upon the cooperation
of his wife in making their
future safe, by sane and sensible
methods Of housekeeping.
This is not a solitary case.
There are many women in
America who are satisfied with
themselves, believing they are
good wives and admirable women,
who are doing just what this
woman did--sinning through the
sins of omission, and failing to
use the greatest of all opportuni-
ties which God can give a
woman, that of making her home
a successful experiment in an
imitation of Eden.
Order was heavens first law;
every home must be built on the
foundation of order; system must
be the first law inits management;
love and enthusiasm must fur
nish the fuel with which to keep
its affairs ablaze with happiness
and prosperity and comfort and
freedom from debt.
There is no greater work on
earth for a woman to do. But
how many such home makers
and home keepers do you know
among your aoQuaintances?

She took no care of the home

She lived a life utterly devoid
of any sense Of obligation.
She read the newspapers, but
never a book OF any literary
value. She did not study or
think; she just drifted through
life.
She wore such garments as her
dressmaker told her to wear;
and sent the bills to her husband
to pay. She was not extrava-
CANT in dress, but her clothes
carried no distinction, and as they
were not well selected. or well
cared for, they soon seemed
shabby.
The husband prospered so
well during his middle life that
he did not worry over the finan-
cial situation, believing that he
would be able to weather all

He wished his wife were diff

THE curious conduct of the
weather recently serves to
call attention to the very
important researches which the
Smithsonian Institution has been
conducting for some years con-
corning the variability Of the sun.
Whether the recent sudden drop
of temperature which carried the
thermometer in many places on
June 9Th lower than it has ever
been known to fall at this time
of the year since the Weather
Bureau was established was due
to a failure Of radiation from the
sun cannot be definitely stated,
but there IS no longer doubt that
the sun is a variable star, and
that its variations are often suf-
flcient to produce general fall,
or rise, Of temperature amount

several degrees.
