MAY INTRODUCE THE SWISS
SYSTEM OF RIFLE PRACTICE

in this country. drawing a livelihood
or engaged in business here, will
band themselves together in opposi-
tion to volunteering to defend their
1resides, it becomes necessary to go
slow in issuing rifles promiscuously.
NO doubt, however a modified Swiss
system could be very effectively put
into operation. With the tens of mill
lions of available young men in this
country to select from, there is no
reason why rifle clubs should not be
organized with selected applicants.
The National Rife Association of
America has demonstrated what can
be done with very little funds avail
able for the work along such lines.
It has under its jurisdiction nearly
500 clubs now with an estimated
membership of about $4,000. With
proper governmental support. inspec-
ton, supervision and training. these
500 clubs could be increased TO 5000
with at least 100000 members and
in time this easily could be increased
to a million. We then would be get
ting all the benefits of the best fea-
lures of the Swiss system without
running any danger from the free
issue of rifles. Before this should
be done however, the way should be
paved for the successful carrying out
of the scheme by the building of rife
ranges by the government throughout
the country where rife club members
could shoot. This is another feature
of the Swiss system which we might
well pattern after. In that country.
nearly every canton, which might for
comparisons sake be called a minia-
ture state has a fine, large. well
equipped range and in addition there
are thousands of rife clubs which
have their own ranges.
Rife shooting as a sport will never
be popular like baseball as It lacks
the element of the spectacular but il
can be made interesting by competi-
ltions-inter-club, interstate and ma
tional. Such competitions as the ma
tional matches do more than anything
else to popularize the game. At Jack
sonville, Fla, during October every
State in the Union but Pennsylvania
] Maryland, South Dakota, California
and Virginia will be represented by
their picked sharpshooters.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition. the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsifed
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless). is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing. as this can't possibly in
jure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with wa
ter and rub 1t in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and It leaves it fine and
silky. bright, fiuffy and easy to man
age.
You an get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. II is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enou Il
TO last everyone in the family fol
months.

LESS Than HALF OF
COLLEGE Girls WE'D
Professor Johnson Says
Those Who Do Marry Have
Comparatively Few Children
BUT IS PER CENT OF
HONOR PUPILS MARRY

PITTSBURGH. Pa. Aug. 24.-Prop-
agation of the human race would be
nearly a hopeless task did it have TO
depend on the efforts OF college girls.
according to results obtained by Pro-
fessor Roswell H. Johnson, depart
ment of biology of the University Of
Pittsburgh, after an exhaustive inves-
tigation. In his report. Professor
Johnson proves that outside of the
college group, ninety per cent of wo-
men marry. while those attending
institutions for women have an ave-
rage of only thirty-nine per cent

tistics of the Wellesley. Smith, Vas

that their marriage rate is so low.
discovers that the number of chill
dren born to these is startlingly small.
OF all the graduates he states. that go
out from these institutions they are
only giving to the race .S3 of a hid
each. In his report Professor John
son says:
"Tn the education of woman there
should be four things borne in mind.
She should be educated that her edu-
cation would be a means of pleasure
to herself; second. she should be edu-
Gated to become of use to society
third. she should be able to look after
her home and become an efficient
wife and mother. and. fourth. she
should be educated so she could look
after herself should an emergency in
her career arise. such as becoming a
widow and so forth.
Another surprising thing about the
investigation is shown in the mar
riage rate Of the honor students OF
these institutions. Thirty-fve per
cent of the honor students marry. and
out of these only two-tenths of a
child each are contributed for dupli-
cation of their kind
There are three causes for this alb.
normally low birth rate in the college
group. First, lack of co-education
| second, the failure of their education
! to make them desirous of having
homes of their own. and. third, the ex
cesslve limitation Of the students op
portunities for social life"
