There's no time to sharpen your
sword when the bugle blows the
charge" says the old proyerb. When
the fight starts and the excitement OF
the fray grips you, you are in no mood
for cool, deliberate planning. Things
happen at terrifying speed. Openings
come and go as rapidly as the patterns
change in kaleidoscope, and there is
as little chance to predict from the
last combination what the next will be.
But the man who has made study OF
the fighting style of his opponent
knows that through faults certain
openings are sure to occur frequently
in the defense he must solve. He
makes up his mind just what course
of action will enable him best to take
advantage of these openings and maps
q plan of action.
So in the battle of life, unless you
consider carefully beforehand situation
which may arise, you will have little
opportunity to provide for emergencies
or take advantage of opportunities. Be-
fore you realize what they are they are
gone, and your chance to better your
fortune or protect yourself from
calamity has passed. He who does not
plan is a little better than floating

The high professional man in the
State at trap shooting was Carl F.

targets and broke 6,922. George Nc
Carthy was high amateur shooting at
1900 targets and breaking 1.434. The

1t is fast becoming apparent that
the contest this year is to be unusual.
1naSmuch as all parties are more or
less factional in their present lineup.
Rapidly the reorganization bosses of
the Democratic party are losing their
hold upon the masses of Democratic
voters, and 1t will not surprise many
to see this faction unhorsed in the
next organization of the State Demo
cratic committee. A. Mitchell Palmer
the recognized head of the reorganiza-
ton faction, is even now very much in
doubt as to whether he can land any
Of the several places with which his
name has been connected. He is max
ing bold bluff at the strength of
the Democratic alignment, but the
weakness of the claims of both the
Palmer and Washington party leaders
is shown in the statement of Palmer
that the Roosevelt vote will be 25 per
cent. weaker than when the Colonel
was running for President, while the
Washington party leaders are insist
ing that Pinchot is 25 per cent.
stronger than Penrose. These varying
claims would seem to indicate, if they
indicate anything, that the opponents
of the Republican party are very wide
apart on their estimates.
AS a matter of fact, there is lining
up of Republicans all over the State
to resist the opposing parties, and
within the next few weeks 1t is ex-
pected rows in both the Democratic
and Washington parties will be in full
