practice towards the enactment of
law to permit the secretary of war to
issue old "Krag" rifles with
ammunition. for use by rifle clubs or
ganized throughout the country un-
der the rules of the national board
for the promotion of rifle practice.
The proposed law will be designed to
permit the issuance of similar ordi-
nance model and therefore not neces-
sary for the maintenance of the prop
er army reserve. to schools having
uniformed corps of cadets and carry
ing on military training.
War department officials declare
that in training of the youths of the
country in the use and knowledge of
arms the United States is far behind
other nations.
The plan carries no expense to the
federal treasury, as the arms and am
munition to be issued are already
owned by the United States and pass.

nance officers as obsolete.

ton, Liet. Col. John T. Thomp-
son of the army ordnance department
representing Henry S. Breckenridge.
assistant secretary of war. on the ex-
ecutiye council of the National Rifle
association. said existing law is in
sufficient for the promotion of exten-
sive target practice.
Colonel Thompson suggested that
If boys in the public schools once be-
came interested in rifle practice they
would continue Ii in the higher
schools or in civilian rifle clubs. Of
ten, he said. they continue rife shoot
ing in the national guard. and so the
proper promotions of these rifle clubs
will indirectly be a great help to en-
listments in national guard organiza-
tions.
War department officials with one
accord declare that the proposed
measure, which has Secretary Garri-
sons hearty approval. will be con-
siderable factor In solving the prob
lem of national defense.

GOODCHANCEFOR
THE RIGHT PARTY
AN ALLEGED NEVADA SCHOOL
TEACHER OFFERS HERSELF
FOR EUViENIC ivEDLOCK FOR
"BETTERMENT OF RACE"

Here is a chance for some Ely
bachelor, provided he is so disposed
and can come up to the specifications.
Miss Clara Macy, school teacher of
New City, Nevada (the exact location
is not definitely stated), has an
nounced herself as candidate for the
prize of $500 offered by the Medical
Review of Reviews published at To-
ledo, Ohio, to the man and woman
most physically fit who agree to
marry and live according to a set of
eugenic rules laid down by the fore
most physicians of the east Miss
Macy offers herself for the better
ment of the race" According to her
letter, which follows, she seems cock
sure that she is eligible as candi-
date, but it is very likely that she
will have trouble in finding mate
who fits all her requirements. She's
too fussy. One runs across such
man as Miss Macy has in mind, in
Bertha NJ. Clay's novels, but nowhere
else. OF course, there are men
courteous and thoughtful and clean in
thought and language. but generally
they chew tobacco, and inadvertently
emit a cuss word when necessity re-
quires. She specifies red blooded"
man, evidently not taking thought
that the average red-blooded man is
considerable of an animal in his way
ton. Civilization has not yet advanc-
ed far enough to thoroughly elimin-
ate the instincts of the cave man. that
occasionally project through the
veneer of present day enlightenment
and customs. Miss Macy may sue
ceed in getting what she thinks she
wants, but her dream may be shatter-
ed, suddenly. and for no other reason
than any one of the numerous insig-
nificant domestic frictions that go td
make up married felicity.
In her letter to President Frederick
H. Robinson, Miss Macy says:
81 am 29 years old and five and
one-half feet tall. | weigh It's
pounds, which you see is very much
In evidence in the photo. l call my
hair red. because l don't want to be
accused af Dragging but the rest of

know, with some brown and gray.)
A young man who taught in our
school some years ago was foolish
enough to write poetry about them.
my health is excellent, and | feel
sure that would make fit mate for
some fine. red-blooded man. In the
interest of science and for the better
ment of the race, / am cheerful and
willing to unite and live in eugenic
wedlock.
"The following is what | require in
my prospective husband:
He must not use liquor, opiates or
tobacco in any form. He must be
courteous and thoughtful to others.
He must be clean man in thought
and in language, and must be immac-
ulate about his person.
Il don't care about his looks as
long as he is clean about his person.
and is not deformed in any way.

much l know myself and am con-
fident that am a fit mate for such
man.

 Tuckerman, Jan. 6.-On Mon- day afternoon January 5. Miss Ida Dowell entertained most delightfully."- from 3 to 5 in lin- en shower, complimentary to Miss Lucy Lindley, whose mar riage to MT. Forrest Penix will take place Wednesday evening, at the home of her father, MT. J. ". Lindley.
 The hospitable Dowell home was artistically arranged for the occasion, American Beauty roses, ferns and palms being us- ed in the decorations.
 Throngs of friends were gra- ciously welcomed by the charm ing young hostess, handsomely gowned in lavender crepe de chine, assisted by Mesdames Ralph Smith and D. C. Dowell, Jr. In the reception hall, ra- diant in a gown of amethyst charmeuse with chiffon under blouse, large picture hat, the bride-elect received the guests, at the same time presenting her friend, Miss Potts, of Atkins, Arkansas. In the library a most refreshing fruit beverage was served by Misses Kate Ho- gan and Ruby Neil Gardner. Af- ter the usual greetings the eguests were invited into the spacious parlor where an impromptu program was rendered.
 Vocal selections by Misses Dowell and Yelverton and Mrs. D. C. Dowell, Jr., were much en- joyed.
 The sermon in negro dialect, by Miss Ruby Neil Gardner was very fine. At the conclusion of the program the guests were led to the dining room by the hos tess. Pink and white was pret- tily emphasized by a beautiful centerpiece of graceful Ameri- can Beauty roses and ferns in g handsome basket. The color scheme was carried out in brick cream and cake which made very dainty refreshments. Return.
 ing to the parlors Miss Lindley was found seated in a large rocker swathed in ropes of pink and white tulle. At a signal lit. , tie Miss Emma Dowell dressed daintily in white embroidered null and pink ribbons entered drawing a chariot laden with many packages of loving remem, brance to the bride-elect, who re ceived and opened each with en- thusiasm, passing them on to be admired by her friends. Hardly could a more enchanting scene
 be sketched by artists brush
 than this which eliminated the afternoons pleasures.
