Trap Shooting

The average man doesn't realize what good sport for the inside worker IS trap shooting said C. V. Alexander of the Postal Telegraph company and a member of the gun club of that organiza tion Since we have organized our little club have found that an afternoon at the target makes me feel better all the follow ing week.
 At first one finds it difficult to break the pigeons but there is a knack in the shooting that is soon acquired. A man is apt to find his shoulder black and blue if he tries to shoot too much at once. remember when I first went out l fired 100 shells and my shoulder was black and blue for a week. That, too, soon passes away and after a month or so one finds keen enjoyment in the shoot ing.
 Tt is good for the general health and especially good for the eyes. An enthu- siastic woman shooter of my acquaintance when she first went out was thin and wore glasses Now she has gained 20 pounds and discarded her glasses for good.''

An Unfortun.te Fi.herm.n

T am the unuckiest fisherman alive said man who pines to be a Nimrod His claim is justified, as he related the following story:
 The other morning four of us went out to East Lake to follow in the footsteps of Isaac Walton. The other three had fine time, but as for me, I tramped my legs off around the lake and got but one nibble the whole morning, and then the trout took my minnow away from me-
 We were fishing for trout and bream l tried the trout fishing for a bl. and finally became disgusted after failing to see my cork go under for two hours. rigged out a bream line and went to get some bait.
 You know, to fish for bream you use reaches which are carried in bucket made so that they cannot get out. know that reaches are harmless. but can't abide them on me. When reached in to grab one for my hook a big fellow started on an Investigating tour up my arm. l promptly jumped, 'hollered and upset the bucket, allowing about three fourths of the bait to get away.

Ready for Finished Product Plants

"I regard the decision of the United thing that ever happened for the Blr mingham district" said pr. Frank Snede- cor. You may recall the fact that about seven years ago when the United States Steel corporation bought out the Tennessee company, the first thing they did was to go in the market and buy land. They bought hundreds of acres. Ii looked as though they could not get enough. Just west of Fairfield they bought everything in sight. I know, be- cause I got big chunk of their money myself. And then they put to work engi- neers and draftsmen by the score, and we were told that they were preparing to build a number of finished product plants.
 When things were just beginning to hum the federal government brought suit against the Standard Oil, the Sugar and the Tobacco trusts. Well, what did the United States Steel corporation do? They stopped all new development work and it stopped still, too; and the miles of little white stobs put out by their engineers over six years ago have now routed down.
 But now, since the decision is in favor of the United States Steel corporation, l think they will be stimulated because their policies have been indorsed and the magnitude of their new development will be stupendous"

THE STEEL DECISION

New York Evening Post Qnd): The de- cision mainly rested on the fact that. since it's organization in 1901, the business done by the Steel corporation had in creased in smaller ratio than the busi- ness of it's independent competitors This established fact, and the equally known fact that the corporation has never em- ployed toward its competitors the onpres- sive methods of the Standard oil and the American Tobacco, have stood it In good stead in this first judicial test, and may quite possibly win it's case before the highest court. But it should be carefully observed that even this present decision Is very far from vindicating all the pre- vious practices, even of the Steel sorpor- ation.
