CHANGES In THE
SHOOTING RULES
NOW PROPOSED

There are three changes proposed for
consideration this winter by the Inter
state Association The first proposed
change is to increase the distance. the
gunners to stand back Of the traps from
10 to is yards; the second to decrease
he maximum load Of shot from IA
ounces TO Is ounces; the third to
speed up the targets. so that instead of
dropping within distance OF 40 to 50
yards from the trap, as they do now
they will drop within from 55 to 65
yards of the trap.
To the novice these changes do not
seem so radical, as they look small, but
the initiate declares them almost rcvo-
lutionary.
The point which is causing the great
est discussion is that OF moving two
additional yards back of the trap from
10 TO le. Great difference of opinion is
held by different shooters. and they arc
about equally divided, apparently. be-
tween the two camps. Some say that
the moving back of the firing points
will tend to equali1e shooting conditions
others contend that the better shot viii

FOOTBALL HIGH;
SEASON BRIEF
Big College EIevenS Spend
Fortunes Annu-
ally

Now that the football season is ended
il is interesting TO note its financial
cost, for it takes big money to develop
football stars as the figures for Har-
ward this ye. show, $1,000 each being
the conservative amount paid for the
necessary training. Like everything else
OF late football has increased in cost
and the appearance Of II well-condition-
ed. thoroughly coached players on the
field against such teams as Princeton
and Yale for the championship has cost
the managers about $4,000 in round
figures. Only the best have had charge
of the Crimson destines this year.
A conservative estimate states that
the entire coaching staff during the
season Just closed has cost the differ
cni clcvcns $4,000 alone, but TO this
must be added the extra cost of equip
ping and training a large squad OF play
ers, hiring special trains and many
other items that require real hard
mo0ey. There were 80 players in the
Harvard squad and il is asserted that
each one Of these cost $1,000 for his
coaching and training expenses. The
point TO remember in this connection
Is that the football season covers a
period of but nine weeks while that Of
baseball, training and all, runs from
March until October. with considerably
more revenue coming in.
However. Harvard is not one whit
more eNtra,agant in her training ex.
pcnscs than ahc Princeton. Yale, Cor
nell. Penn and Dartmouth. Each Of these
annually spends small fortunes ON their
football warriors and win continue ia

chance for victory

with uniforms, shoes and lerccys.
From time to time the weaker men
were weeded out and a regular squad

prepared food and private chef, was

ers.
The greatest item Of expense, how
ever. Is the coaching staff. Head

neer OF the Crimson machine, draws
down salary of $S.400 a year, which
means about nine weeks of work.
contract under which he
Is now employed. calls for $4,000 a
term Of three years. An additional
sum of $4,000 for the same period
has been guaranteed by prominent
alumni which brings this total re-
TO about SIS, 400 season.
He Is on the field about two and a

scales a little finer, Haughton re-

LITTLE LAw-BREAKING.

There have been fewer violations OF
ducking laws on the Susquehanna
fats this wear than in the mast This
lis probably due to the fact that the
sportsmen are beginning TO realize
that even game laws must be en-
forced. The ideas of some of the
gunners of the past we're hard 70
understand Men who wouldn't think
of violating other laws at home did
not hesitate when il came to allegal
shooting This year the duckers
have undergone a change of mind, and
the result is pleasing. The deputy
game wardens have been instructed
to arrest every violator. and have
done so in a number of cases.

LONG AND USEFUL LIFE.

DR.. George Turner, recently
knighted in England, partly because
of his devotion to the lepers at the
asylum at Pretoria during his long
career in South Africa. is himself a
victim of the dread disease, contract
ed through his work among the af-

been living in seclusion in England.
During his residence in the Cape
Colony he produced a curative and
preventive serum which stamped out
the rlnderpest in that section, saw
ing the country millions of pounds.
Then for years he worked among the
lepers without pay, endeavoriny to
find cure for the disease. On reach
ing the age limit he retired to Eng
land to pursue his studies into the
psychological side of leprosy."

coLoRs IN NATIONAL FLAGS

Has it ever struck you which color
is most often seen in the flags Of the
world? Probably it hasn't. because
there are not many people who can
recognize more than dozen flags at
the outside. Well. the most popular
color is red, which is found in the
standards of no fewer than nine
teen countries out of twenty-five.
Practically every one of the Euro
pean states. together with Mexico.
Venezuela, Chile and Cuba, boast the
color red in their national flags.
Blue is found in the emblcms of
the United States, Russia, France.
Great Britain. Holland, Ecuador,
Sweden, Chile. Portugal, Venezuela
and Cuba. Black is not at all pop
ular. being found only in the cases
of Germany, Belgium and China,
while Germany is noticeable for hav-
ing black and white together. Nine
countries boast Of flag partly vel
low, viz: Austria, Spain, Belgium,
Brazil. Persia, Sweden, Egypt, China
and Venezuela. TO Ecuador belongs
the distinction of having standard
nearer white than any other country.

MANx LAWS GOOD AND BAD
In Some Respects Behind the Times,
and in Others Set an Example
Worthy Of Copying.

In some respects the Isle Of Man.
which has just defeated work
mems compensation act, is one OF
the most backward portions of the
British empire. All the revenue is
raised by taxes on food apd drink.
There are no death duties. no prop
erty tax, no land tax. The working
classes are unprotected as well rs
overtaxed. No factory laws exist
and no attempt has ever been made
to limit the hours of shop assistants.
although Mainland is essentially a
nation of shopkeepers. Then, al
though usury is forbidden by law.
imprisonment for debt is still legal
and is commonly resorted to.
Yet Nlanx laws. although back
ward in some respects, are in other
ways well advanced. Every woman.
widow or spinster, in the Isle of
Man, be she owner, occupier or
ledger, enjoys the parliamentary
franchise. Every widow enjoys half
her husbands personal estate and
has life interest in his real estate.
and she cannot be deprived Of this
BY will.
The sale Of cigarettes and intoxi-
cants to children was forbidden in
Man for years before such prohibi-
ton was enforced in England. Eng
lishmen have legislated mildly
against money lenders. The highest
interest that can be charged in the
island is six per cent. and that has
been the law for over two hundred
years.
