WANTED-BOY BABIES

That's the cry of the statesmen of
Europe. It's dead earnest demand.
They need boy babies just as they
need wheat, or horses or copper These
statesmen of most of the nations in
the great war have thrown aside all
the peace time conventionality about
marriage. The Germans have made
rules to ecourage young recruits to
marry before departing for the front
Red Cross parties of doctors and mid
wives from the lying-in hospitals of
Germany are being sent to Belgium
and northern France to escort into
war ridden Europe the babies that are
born there. In England the church
authorities have reduced the heavy
license fee which is necessary for
quick and sudden marriage and many
soldiers and officers who return home
on two or three day leaves of absence
marry and return to the front. The
French have planned law by which
the soldier at the front may be mar
ried by proxy.

LATEST NEW YORK POPULAR
SONG
al Didn't Raise My Boy to Be A
Soldier"

New York is ringing with a new
song said to be a most pronounced
hit. 81 Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a
Soldier" and, although only out few
days, is being sung in every leading
place of amusement. Following is a
part of the chorus, clipped from a
copy of the music:
81 DIDN'T RAISE MY BOY TO BE
A SOLDIER"
Il didn't raise my boy to be a sol
der, l brought him up to be my pride
and JOY Who dares to place a mus
ket on his shoulder, To shoot some
other mothers darling boy?"
The song was written by Bryan and
Piantadosi, two very popular writer's
and is said to be their best work
The music has a catchy martial swing
while the words reflect the love of a
mother who scorns to rear her lad to
take the life of his fellowman. The
song conveys a wholesome lesson
which, it is safe to say, will carry il
to great popularity.
The above song is on sale in Everett

Ninety-six dead bodies Of miners
have been recovered from the Lay

Trapshooting-Its vaIue to Man and the Nation

painstaking and scientific adjustment of aim, the command is given to fire.
 There Is no doubt but that target prac- tice even from the standpoint of shooting at stationary mark is good, but only a superficial analysis of the great battles which nave been and are now being fought m Europe will probably show that most of the rifle fire that is being in- dulged tn is directed mainly at moving targets In other words, it is during the various charges of the enemy that the soldier in the trench is called upon to display his craftsmanship, and if the figures asTegards accuracy are anywhere near correct it would seem that the aim of the average soldier is decidedly de- ficient. And right here trapshootins again becomes of interest.
 The tesr of a good trapshooter's skill is his ability to hit flying target. He has no time for lengthy scientific adjustment The target must be pulverized in the course of its rapid flight. Concentration, keen eyesight, a nerve of steel, quick judgment and prompt action are essential, and what better qualities could one de- mand of a soldier?
 Turning aside from all thoughts miii. tary, however. there are many reasons why trapsf ooting well deserves the pat ronagc and support of every American man or woman. Summed up in a nutshell 1t is good, clean. democratic, invigorat- ing pastime of truly American origin

The recent trouble abroad has been the cause of much talk and speculation rela- tive to the preparedness of the United States in case of war with other great bowers. From all sides have arisen grave questions al to the ability of this country to cope witb situations of O warllSe na- ture The nations secondary defense and ways and means of providing for the same are topics of common discussion.
 No doubt did the occasion arise and were war actually declared we would as a nation not be found wanting. At the same dime, however, it might be well to consider trapshooting as a subject quite apropos of the topic.
 To military training. a knowledge of firearms, their care and their uses, is most essential. and trapshooting, because of its pleasurable features permits of and gives this training in it's most pleasant and at the same time it's most thorough form. But there is still more vital point to be taken into consideration, and this is the skill and ability it develops in the individual for shooting and hitting nov ing target.
 In the past most rife practice, so far as the training of the average soldier has been concerned, has consisted in shooting at stationary target. After carefully draping himself in the proper position prescribed by the manual and after a
