A Traveller Gathering No Moss

Dear Miss Libbey:
 Please do not think me presurnp- trous. for am eager to be consoled- My desire is to travel I have as girl could desire, a good home. I sim ply can't be contented; no use in try ing. I have a chance to travel and see the world Do you think, if it's my greatest desire. would do wrong in opposing my parents, as they ob- ject to my going?
 certainly feel sure, if you went away and broke faith with your pa rents and against their will, you might rue the day Some other year you may wed and go with your husband

 N You have changed from one love to another, so that no one can tell what you may think best to do. am posi- tive, as you have 9. knowledge of both, you will choose wisely.

 Pictures of friendship now destined to last,
 Loves that grew weak meath adversi-

 When a poor man finds that in gath ering a family about his knee they all turn out to be girls there is. not one Father. in a hundred who does not in- dulge in the despairing wish that at least half of them might have been boys.
 He has always heard that girls are expensive to raise; that more can be spent upon a girls useless folderoI in dress in a year that would be required te rig out a boy neat as a pin for five times that long.
 He doesn't say anything to his wife about his disappointment. He absolVes the good wife from all blame. Poor soul. show could she help it that they had turned out the wrong way, shat Quite as soon as the girls are old enough to understand, mother takes them into her confidence, and hence forth they begin to plot and plan how they can retrieve themselves in fla ther's estimation.
 The mother determines that daddy shall be proud Of them. They shall not grow up encumbrances to him, but aids. She knows the girls may have to earn their own living later and paves the way for it from the time they are knee high to a rasshopper. She knows the value of the Red Cross nursing. She instructs the c11il- dren in it's mysteries quite as soon as they are able to comprehend If one gets a hurt finger. one of her sisters is expected to give first aid. If it is done quickly and with dispatch a shining penny is her reward. The children are taught to watch for tears and rips in daddy's clothes, and when the rents are skillfulIy mended this some praise from mamma The child who discovers a break in the table cloth or carpet, and whose delft fingers make it as good as new receives so much praise as well as her penny that her mother hints they must look out lest she adds mischief to labor by find ing holes that shouldn't be there.
 The sweeping, dusting. breadmaking and bed -make-ups come in for their share of reward. Little by little the girls have acquired the rudiments of knowledge of housekeeping.

Uncle Sam to Organize Rifle Clubs,
WithFreeRifles and Ammunition,
To Teach Young Amer. to Shoot

Rifle Association of America-through
whose patriotic efforts many clubs
have been organized, not only among
civilians but in colleges and schools
throughout the country.
A serious handicap to the proper de-
velopment of this movement is the
lack of rife ranges. With the growth
of cities and the increasing value of
land generally, rifle ranges have been
swept away by the onward march of
progress until there are very few
large ranges left in the country, thus
bringing about a situation where
Uncle Sam says to his citizens, go
take this rife and ammunition and
perfect yourself in its use" But how
can he do so if there are no ranges
available? Therefore, unless the is
sue of rifles and ammunition is fol-
lowed by the construction of ranges
where civilians can practice, such is
sue will not. accomplish the results de-
sired by the government. Govern
ment ranges where available may be
used by civilian rifle clubs and many
states allow OF the use of their Ma
tional Guard ranges, but such ranges
are few and far between. The value
of land is rapidly increasing and
every year that the building of ranges
by the government is put off will make
1t much more difficult to secure appro-
priations for the purchase of land for
this purpose.
The assistant secretary of war, Hon.
Henry Breckenridge, under whose
supervision the issue of rifles and am
! ~ he do fO vi cI,,h ic
very optimistic concerning the results
that will accrue to the government
from wise and efficient administra-
ton of the Act. He says. Although
we expect that the issue of these rifles
and ammunition will greatly stimulate
shooting and increase the number of
marksmen throughout the country, our
efforts will be seriously handicapped
| by the lack of an appropriation to
cover the necessary expenses. The
! original act called for an appropriation
of 100000. This appropriation was
cut out in the military committee and
all the expense of issuing the rifles and
ammunition must be borne by the
clubs themselves. We hope however
that when this movement is thorough
ly established and the good resulting
from it is demonstrated, Congress will
give us enough money to carry on the
work on a broad and national basis.
This law will greatly stimulate the
organization of rife clubs and cadet
corps in our public schools
Those interested in Workmanship
and desiring information in regard to
the organizatio of government rifle
clubs and the free issue of rifles and
ammunition may secure the same from
the National Rifle Association of
America, Woodward Building, Wash
ington, D. c. or from the War Depart
ment.
