For the battle of our period, in
fortunate America, is not with paint

knives, nor with the rigors of the will
derness. Much less is it Europe's
battle with high-poWered tools of
slaughter by wholesale. Our battle
is with Prejudices, misunderstand-

among folks who are artificialIy

They who eat together in equality
discover in one another too many
fine interests and traits in common

ten how the turkey came to play the
star part in the Thanksgiving din
ner. For that matter, how many
ever knew the true significance of
this delightful custom?
The father of the day, plus old
Governor Bradford, thought it would
be a great thing if the felix's of Ply
mouth colony should eat together
when the frost was on the pumpkin
and the fodder was in the shock.
Not being vegetarian, and Chi
cago dressed beef not yet having
come into vogue, he commanded the
the colony's valiant SONS to go into
the forests and shoot a sufficient
mess of venison and wild turkey.
Next arose the problem of COM
mon eating place. But that solved
itself, for colonial Massachusetts had
but one common place of adequate
community assembly, the out of
doors.
So the wild turkeys, duly stuffed
and baked, and the venison, were
taken, with fitting accompaniment,
under the trees and joyously dis
patched at feast for all, including
King Massasoit and 80 friendly In
dams. So well did they enjoy the
common feast that they kept it up
for three days, consuming, also we
fear, quite quantity of strong wa
tiers.
1t was not, therefore, as with us,
primarily a family but a community
function; the nearest that the pious
pilgrims could come to a democratic
festival When we modify it to
service in a sectarian church and a
spread around a family board we re-
duce the fine old function to less than
its original intent.
The family dinner and the church
service have grown into traditions
too well rooted to be upset, even if

Targets Over dupont
Club Traps
N. R. A. BUTTONS
FOR ELEVEN BOYS

Yesterday was record breaking
day for attendance of the Boy Scouts
at the rifle range Of the DUPONT Trap
shooting Club The shooting Of the
boys was in the same class as their
attendance, and some wonderful
scores we're made. The scouts were
compelled to adjust their own sights,
using their own judgment as to the
proper amount of windage and eleva-
tion. and while the total scores would
probably have been higher. had they
depended on tho instructor for this.
the boys really gained more in the
end.
The troops are working hard with
their team material in the majority
of troops, il will be a hard matter to
pick team owing to the close stand
ing of the competitors
The boys are beginning to realize
that II is not only good shooting in
the prone position that counts, but
that they must also learn TO shoot
in the standing position, otherwise
their total score will suffer.
NJ, c. Taylor, assistant scout mas
ter of Troop 6, visited the range yes
terday afternoon and soon caught the
fever. Under the able tuition Of two
or three other scouts, he was soon
shooting In the same class with the
rest Of the boys and finished out with
a score OF forty-one in the standing
position. High total for the day was
made by scout John H. Schaeffer Of
Troop 10 with a score of forty-one
standing. and forty-six prone Schaef-
fer shot up 10 his usual mark in the
prone position, making two scores Of
forty-slX and Que forty-four. There
we're three scouts tied for second
place, Gooding OF Troop 10, with a
score Of forty-three standing and
forty-three prone, Wintrup of Troop 8
with forty-two standing and forty
four prone, and NJ. c. Shaw Of Troop
10 with forty standing and forty-six
prone
Gooding's forty-three was high for
the standing position, while Wintrup
OF Troop . and Lister of Troop 6, were
tied for second with forty-two.
The following scouts have made the
scores necessary to receive the junior
marksman lapel button and their
names have been forwarded TO the Ma
tional Rife Association for record.

Burns IS PICKED
As LEADER OF THE
BASEBALL FIELDERS

NEW YORK, Aug. I've are all
familiar with the greatness Of Ty
Cobb, Iris Speaker and Milan. of the
American league, but if you were
asked today the name Of the greatest
outfielder In the National League
what would be the answer? That
question was put to seven ball play
ers yesterday-three of them from
Pittsburgh-and the replies were all
the same.
George Burns
IT Is peculiar thing" said
Mathewson, that we have right here
on the Giants one of the greatest out
iielders that ever lived, and | don't be-
lieve / ever even heard him mem
toned while discussing such felders
as Cobb and Speaker Even on the
road the public does not realize the
ability Of this young fellow. But the
ball players know II may be that he
Is too close to us or that the public
hasn't got on but one look at the
records ought to be the tip-Off."
McGraw is of the opinion that It is
the quiet, unassuming disposition of
Burns that keeps his light under a
bushel measure, but there is no doubt
in the Giant managers mind as to
the star outfelder of the National
league He declared himself on that
point year ago.
There is not another man In Burns
class" says McGraw, "and maybe
when he gets old and ready to quit
somebody will find it out, when it's
too late"
Did you ever hear anybody men
ton the name of Burns in the award
of that automobile for the most valu-
able man to his club asked Fred
Clarke. of the Pirates, while the ques-
ton was under dicussion. Honestly,
don't believe the judges ever
thought of it. and still he did as much
as anybody to land the pennant for
the Giantsl / don't understand it"
Briefly, here is what Burns has
done this season: He has driven in
more runs than any man in the
league He has made more hits than
any man on the New York club. He
has thrown out more runners than
any outflelder on the team and he is
one of the leading batters of the
league He is one of the best base
runners and is one of the few who
can do the hook-slide to the left or
the right with equal effectiveness.
