OLD MEN AND TRApsHOOrING.

VIZ ILMINGTON trapshooers do not take kindly to
w article that appeared our sporting mage
October q in which golf enthusiast asserted that
golf is the only game play after he reaches
the age of 4O." We admit that they have good ground
for complaint with respect TO such assertion ami
that another sport that is wide open to Of
advanced years is trapshooting
The purpose of the sporting article on golf as an
old mans game to direct attention to the oppor-
unity offered by golf for ouof-door recreation ana
youth-preservng pleasure stil open those who no
longer desire, physically unable, to partici-
pate IN games which necessitate a very considerable
amount OF activity do baseball football, tennis
etc
Surely nothing further from thoughts than
TO slight the great army Of trapshooters throughout
the country or to convey the impression that trap
shooting is not cosmopolitan sport I'm all justice
and fairness must be admitted that few games or
pastimes are its equal in this respect.
This is forcefully brought home to us by the cond-
tions existing in the local trapshooting club Many
of the most ardent and enthusiastic devotees of the
of breaking clay birds well past the age of 40.
When It comes TO a contest for prizes and trophies
they do not ask any odds or favors of their more
youthful opponents and always be found among
the winners in any event. The membership of the
organization includes several youngsters still
in their teens ranging from - years Of age up
wards. TO their credit be it said. they also are al
ways in the forefront in uphodlng the. honor and
prestige OF the club.
From national viewpoint trapshootng has pro-
duced very noteworthy examples OF the doctrine
that "age is no barrier; youth handicap" when Il
comes to attaining proficiency in chosen field be It
athletics otherwise Consider Andy" Meaders of
Nashville, Tenn. well past rs years OF age He
is holder Of championships and maker of records
still, and is always ready compete on even terms
with the most expert In the same class are the Hon
Thomas A. Marshall. Of Chicago; P J. Holohan, OF
Portland, ore; Dir w II. Mathews, of Newark, n. J.
present champion in his State; H. w. Quick, of Au
gusta, Ga John Tbberts of Buffalo; o. r. Dickey
OF Boston; Edward Banks OF Wilmington and, las
but least, John Philip sousa. Any all of these
men would quickly resent any statement that they
are past the age when II is possible for them to en-
joy themselves at any game but golf for the "spor
alluring" will hold them in thrall until their last shot
Is fired"

ladies! Secret TO
DARKEN CRAY HAIR
Bring Back its Color and Lustre with
Grandma's Sage Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea. with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant; remove every bit of dandruif, stop
scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing
the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at
home, though, is troublesome. An cas-
ier way is to get the ready-to-use tonic,
costing about 80 cents large bottle, at
drug stores, known as "Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Compound" thus avoiding
a lot OF muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
ful appearance and attractiveness. BY
darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because 1t
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
Just dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear years
younger.

IMPORTANT WORK
FOR THE SYNOD
PresbyterieS to be Divided
If Committees Recon-
mendatiOnS Prevail
SENTIMENT IS
AGAINST PLAN

Important matters are to come be-
fore the Synod of Baltimore, which
will open its session I'm Westminster
Presbyterian Church here on Tues
day and will continue for three days.
There will be 1870 ministers and ell
ders in attendance. The session will
open on Tuesday evening with a SER
mon by the Rev. Dewitt NJ. Benham,
of Baltimore. the retiring Moderator.
One Of the important matters to
come before the Presbytery will be
the report on synodical efficiency.
The synod is now composed of the
Presbyteries of New Castle Wash
ington and Baltimore. and the COM
mittee will recommend that the Pres
bytery of New Castle be divided so
that Delaware and Cecil county,
Maryland, will constitute one Presby-
terry, the eastern shore of Maryland
another, and that the Presbytery of
Baltimore be divided so that Balti-
more city will be one and western
Maryland another. The report in ia
VOr of this was made at the meeting
of the Synod in Washington last year
but no action was taken 50 that thu
sentiment of the Presbyteries con
cerned might be learned II is de
clared that sentiment is against thu
division, and that it is possible tha
IL may be defeated despite the rec
ommendation of the committee
There will be a conference on mis-.
eionary and benevolent work on We'd
nesday afternoon. The Rev. DR.. Rob
ert Mckenzie. of New York, secre-
tary of the college board; the Rev

DEMOCRATIC LEGIsLAmON INEFFICIENT.

A FTER all the claims the Democrats make in their
IA text book of their alleged achievements after
all the praise they sound for legislation said to be
accomplished, the fact remains that only Demo-
cratic law OF any Importance has gone into actual ef-
feet That law is the Underwood tariff law, and
that has proved not only failure but disastrous to
the interests OF the country The banking and cur
rency scheme which the Democrats enacted has
gone into operation The reason for its delay is that
its shortcomings may not be shown up before the
election. 1t cannot stand trial
This fact has become administrative scandal

House of Representatives. TO prevent this discus
sion two plans put into operation. All kind OF
general debate cut out by special rule. On the
day of the Southern primaries, special resolution
was adopted to keep Congressman here they could
not discuss it in their home districts.

Democratic ''glslation and of the nsncerty Of the
