MAY HAVE RIFLE CLUB
ESTABLISHED IN MEXICO

A number of Mexieo's prominent
young business men are discussing the
organization of a branch of the Nat
ional Rifle Association in this city.
The purpose of this body is to teach
the Americans how to shoot and the
movement is backed by the National
government.
For every five members n Of the
new infantry rifles with 100 rounds OF
ammunition is issued to the club. 1t is
also possible to purchase the arms al
less than cost if you are a member. A
rife range is established and regular
shoots and competitions held.
Such organizations exist all over
this country and much good is being
accomplished through the interest
they have aroused. The movement
here at present is merely in the
stage Of promotion and nothing def
ME has been decided, Those behind
the movement say all who have been
approached about the club are enthu-
siastic. The organization is one in
which those who enjoy this character
of sport will find a most delightful
pastime.

SOCIAL SERVICE PROJECT
MEETS WITH APPROVAL

The project of a Social Service
Worker for Mexico is being undertak.
ed by the Social Service Committee of
the Federation of Women's Clubs, is
meeting with nearly approval and
support. And every organization of
the town of whatever nature will n
doubetedly contribute to the plan.
The worker will be under the direct
supervision of a social service board
and any organization contributing to
the fund will have the privilege of be.
ing represented on this board. Thus,
the churches, the patriotic and liter
airy clubs, the f~raternal societies and
the city will all be represented and
the board will therefore be composed
of a representative body of Mexico
people.
There has been some criticism in
regard to an article which appeared in
print several days ago, telling what
the social service worker would and
what she would not do. Mexico peo-
pie may be sure that no worker will
be engaged for the work here who will
not do what is necessary. She will
be under the direct supervision Of the
board and will cover all the activities
which in the opinion of the board are
deemed advisable.

fore he could extinguish il. the arms
were severely wounded. A physician
was called and at this time he is inn
proving though for u while he was

FAYORS MOTHERS PENSION

ANY civilized state or community
must look after the welfare of the
children born in that community, SAYS
DR.. NJ. P. Ravenel, of the Preventive
Medicine Department of the Univer-
sity of Missouri. Presumably all chill
dren have two parents able to take
care of them. Suppose, however, the
bread-winner who is usually the
father, dies, is killed, becomes insane
or is put in the penitentiary. What
is TO become of the mother with a
number Of children dependent upon
her? If she works to earn enough
for herself and children, it is evident
that she cannot give them the proper
mothers care. AS a rule, such a fami-
ly sinks to the depths of poverty, and
it needs no argument to prove that
poverty is n of the great causes Of
degradation and crime.
During the last few years this sub
ject has been widely considered with
the result that many states are now
providing for the ARE Of dependent
children. Such provision usually goes
under the head of mothers pension.
Missouri was the first state in the In
ion, 1911, 10 pass a law granting an
allowance to mothers whose husbands
were dead or in prison, and who had
children under Ia years of age. The
same year authority was given to the
City Of st ouis to establish a board
Of children's guardians with author.
ty to board children out to their own
parents.
In 1913, out Of forty-two legisla-
lures which were in session, twenty
seven had bills before them providing
for the support Of dependent children
in their own homes at the public's ex-
pense, so that at the present time
many cities have provisions which are
more or less adequate for this class Of
children. Such allowances should not
be regarded in the light of charity.
The child Of today is the citizen of to-
morrow, and there is no more enlight.
ened way in which the public can
spend its money than in caring fot
,he welfare Of children who through
fault Of theirs have become de-
PENDENT.

NEAR ACCIDENT AT TUNNEL
L. F. Elliott Has Narrow Escape in
c. & A. Tunnel Sunday.

f. f Elliott had a narrow escape
when he met another car in the tun-
mel under the C. & A. tracks Sunday
afternoon about A o'clock. MI. Eli
oft and his party were driving west
through the tunnel when a tourist
party came from the east. Forum
ately, Mr.. Elliott was running only
about five miles an hour and was able
to avoid a collision with the other
car by turning his machine into the
fence. No damage was done, save
the bending of a fender on Mr.. Eli
otis car.
The tunnel is too narrow for two
cars to pass. There is a ditch on one
side and a stone wall on the Othe.,
making. it almost impossible for two
cars, unless running very slowly ia
escape a serious collision should they
meet there, and Mr.. Elliott was very
fortunate to escape a serious acct
dent.

MORRIS TELLS OF
LIFE OF NAVAL MIITIAMEk


Prank Morris son Of Ch2s. Morris
q this city. has just returned from
a cruise Of the Great Lakes On hard
the Z. s s Gopher. with the Mime
sofa State Militia
The ship left Duluth On August 10.
lcoiEC from there direet to Cleveland,
= distance Of about 800 miles They
stayed there for two days and then
erUised TO Put-in-B4y. From there
they went to Detroit and thence back
70 Cleveland by an indirect route. re.
turning there August 18th.
The following win give some idea
Of the work Of the boys on this naval
militia. At FIVE O'Clock they were
awakened by a bugle, Il they failed to
get out at once, one Of the Masters
alarms, - the police Of the boat came
ard assisted them, foreibly, II nee
essary. All jaekes had to be dressed,
have their hammOcks dashed up in the
regulation roll, by 5:I5. From $50 to
500 was spent in washing their
clothes, by means Of a scrub brush
and hose and at 6 the washing Of the
deck started. 1t was not the old-faSh-
Toned scrubbing on hands and knees,
but was done in a more up-to-date
manner.
The deck is first washed down with
a hose, then it is gone over with
"~squilgees," which are much like the
ordinary rubber window drier, and
this is followed by a vigorous appli-
cation Of a swab, until the deck is
dry.
Then comes breakfast at 200.
Bright Work" is sounded at SIS:
this mean that the brass work is to
be cleaned, after the brass work had
been cleaned the white work. or the
part of the boat painted white must
be cleaned, and it so happened that
the Gopher is all white.
AT 9:45 "knock-of" is sounded ana
the amateur sailors are given FIFTEEN
minutes to get into clean clothes and
arrange their quarters for inspection
which comes at 1000.
Each man had a number for his
clothing and also a ship number.
Franks ship number was 1902. mean
ing third division, third section and
second a After inspection Of quar-
tiers comes fire drill, which is followed
by collision drill. In the collision
drill a man, holding a rope to which
is attached a piece of canvass. dives
under the ship, pulling the canvas
after him. In case of collision, this
canvas will stop the hole for a little
while.
The ship stopped of the Apostle Is.
lands and the men were given target
practice.
"The only accident we had" said
Frank, was when the feed pipe
broke and we put in at Alpena, Mich,
and got some pipe. After leaving
there we had another break, but were
able to fix that without putting into
port for we had taken an extra SUP.
ply Of pipe from Alpena."
There were SO men and 20 officers
Of the militia on board the Gopher.
besides several men and officers of the
regular army.
The Gopher is kept in the harbor a.
Detroit the year round for the use OF
the naval militia and every two weeks
they take a twO-days' cruise and once
each year the big cruise of the lakes
is taken by the militiamen.
