The War Department had some trou-
BILE meeting the rifle demands of the

The matter of supplying the contes-

itself There will be, at rough guess,
nearly 100 teams competing in the
match. and ach of the teams is entitled
to $4,000 rounds of ammunition for
preliminary practice at home and $500
rounds more for preliminary practice
and actual competition on the range.
For the purpose Of awarding prizes at
the conclusion of the national rife
match, the national board for the pro-
motion of rifle practice has decided to
group the contestants into three
classes Glass A will be composed of
the first fifteen teams, according to the
standing of 1913. Glass 3 will be COM
posed of the second fifteen teams. and
class c will be remaining teams which
competed in 1913. and all others which

n OR a good many years the War
In Department has been asking it
self question-will the college
q student make a good soldier?
Armed conflict has become an unpop-
ular pastime in the United States, so
the War Department has never been
able to answer adequately its own
question. On the other hand. the de-
partment will investigate next fall to
see il the college student makes good
marksman.
Its decision to give the college stu
dent of the United States an army serv
ice rifle, with plenty of cartridges to
bang away at a target, was brought
about by the urging of the National Ri
ne Association of America. which is
working constantly to make every man
in the country familiar with the weap-
on which he might have to use If the
country went to war
And next fall. for the first time In the
history of national rifle matches, the
college students of the country will
compete with the army, navy and or
ganized militia.
The big national match. held under
the auspices and control of the War
Department, will be held at the army's
big rife range at Jacksonville, Fla.
While II is much too early to predict
how many college students will enter,
II can be stated that Yale Harvard,
Princeton and other big universities. as
well as practically all college and
schools with military establishments
and discipline, will enter teams in the
match.
President Wilson said not SO long
ago that he would like to see every
serviceable male in the United States
familiar with the army rifle, and As
sistant Secretary of War Breckinridge
holds to the same idea and speaks
about 1t more frequently than docs any
one else in the War Department.
Last January the national board for
the promotion of rife practice, which
II an organization headed by Mr..
Breckinridge and composed of regular
and militia officers from the army and
the country at large. met at Wash
ington to lay down rules for the regu-
lation of the national match at Jack
sonville, which opens October IS next
The match will be open to teams of
eighteen men, one selected from each
branch of the army, one from the navy,
one from the Marine Corps, one each
from Annapolis and West Point, and
a team from each of the organized
land and naval militia establishments
Of the states and territories. including
the District of Columbia. Also. there
will be teams from the various col
leges and universities. which is the
chief feature of the present match.
The Jacksonville range is about
eight miles south of that city. on the

The Optirnist
By WALT MASON

The optimist is one who knows that
life has many kinds of woes; he doesn't
say, for our relief, that there is no such
thing as grief. He doesn't whoop around
and swear that there is no such thing as
care.
The Sunshine" takers talk that way,
and bore the world from day to day.
The optimist who saws the wood
knows life has much that isn't good;
he doesn't fool himself with bunk, nor
try to gold-plate pewter junk; he doesn't
say that black is white, or see a dozen
moons at night. He sees conditions as
they are, yet ties his wagon to star.
Progressiveness his watchword is; it
animates his life and biz. If times are
dull and business slack, he doesn't weep
and wall, "Alackl' His mind is stored
with useful facts which help and guide
him in his acts, and so he knows Just
what to do, to keep his trade from fall
ing through. A hundred useful hints
he's read, and he has kept them in his
head, and he can draw on that supply
when business seems to wish to DIE.
For knowledge is the stuff that wins,
it beats all optimistic grins. Most any
gent can smile and smile, when things
jog on in splendid style; most any gent
can sing and dance when he has roubles
in his pants; but when all things are
going wrong. the unread critter cans his
song, and pulls his hair and wags his
ears, and says this is vale of tears.
When things are going doubly wrong,
the optimist then looms up strong-the
optimist who stores his mind with all
the knowledge he can find.
He read the journal of his trade,
through every page he liked to wade; he |
kept his copies in file, to con them in
the afterwhile. And there he found a
thousand thoughts which surely hit a |
thousand spots; suggestions for that
trade of his, and helps for his specific
biz. And though the trade may not Just |
hum, these things back to his memory
come, and while the other chaps are
sore, he's doing better than before.
