TOO OLD-OR TOO
YOUNG-FOR TRAPSHOOTING
Uncle joe Hineman Of Wausau, Wis., Is 81 Years Old and
Says He Is Becoming Infatuated While Bruce Steele
Jrs II Years Old, Of Birmingham, Mich Is .
Already in Love with the Sport. .'.....
By PETER p. CARNEY.

How old does a man get before he
loses his desires along the lines of trap
shooting?"
That is the question that was re-
Gently fired at Uncle Joe" Hinemsn. OF
wausau. Wis, the Oldest active partici-
pating trapshooter in the world.
Uncle Joe" lays claim to the ripe
age of 81 years, but with a merry
twinkle in his eye he came back at his
questioner this way: You win have to
hunt up some one older than myself to
answer that query"
Just think of It-tourscore years and
II and still active. Wausau is more than
proud of Uncle Joe" Twice a week
the Gun Club meets and twice each
week "fUncle joe is 10 be found at the
traps. His scores are creditabie. too.
He hasn't missed a shoot OF the Wsu-
sau club in years.
Nirety-one years of age and still a de-
votee of the sport alluring," as trap
shooters love TO call the sport Here
we have a living example OF the man
who has never been addicted to reading
patent medicine testimonials, or to load
ing up his body with any medicine ex-
cept ozone. and that Is the freest thing
in the world.
Nlnc years sny OF the century marx,
civil war veteran, we find him in
forming an inquisitive person that II Will
be necessary to hunt an older man before
finding one who has lost interest in
trap-shooting. Doesn't this mean a lot
TO you?
Uncle Joe" is erect Of form, clear of
eye. and with a mentality as acute as
glasses for reading, but not at the traps.
He adopted the policy many years ago
OF watching the flying objects, not the
gun, and he will be able to shoot well
just as long as he is able to locate.
We have been unable to find a man OF
sufficient age to tell US how oid IL Is
necessary to be before trapshooting be-
comes passe. We know of no one shoot
ing who rs older than Joe Hineman and
he says the infatuation is Just growing
on him"
But Uncle Joe" isn't the only one
along in years who has a good eye and
steady nerves. J. B. Williams, 80 years
of age. and the oldest member in point
of years Of the Louisville CKy.) Gun
Club. showed that his age had not sf-
fected the keenness of his vision. when.

Connie Mack. the lean leader OF the
Athletics, will pilot a young ragtime
regiment to the Southern training camp
in Florida this year It will be one OF the
biggest squads Of players that Mack has
ever taken south Of the Mason and Dixon

must rebuild. He feared 1t a year ago,
but now he is face to face with one of
the gravest situations that has ever con-

With Mack it will be quantity and
not quality. but he has the happy fac

A recent investigation into the char
acteristics of sleep quoted by PROBES.
sor Jastrow of England reveals a strik.
ing division Of sleep conditions be.
tween the sexes. At the same time
it shows that people, as a whole,
vary little from the average, and that
most people sleep in about the same
way. People who are troubled sleep
ers really get as much sleep, but
they do so more jerkily.
The first quarter of q nights sleep
possesses more rest than all the re-
naming three-quarters put together.
This gives a scientific reason for the
old proverb, IAN hours sleep before
midnight is worth two hours after"
Not that midnight has anything to do
with it, hut that the worth of sleep
does lie n the first part of it, and in
early times nearly every one was in
bed a couple hours before midnight.

NO INDUSTRIES
TO TRADE OFF

what we need is a bargaining tar
if which would enable us to get the
maximum advantage in international
trade" declares that marvellous ex-
ponent of foreign trade development,
DR.. E. e. Pratt. There ire two OBJ
stacles in the way of obtaining such
a tariff: First, there is small likeli-
hood that any particular industry,
or group of industries in this coun-
try, will c-ountenance the bargaining
of their interests for the interests of
another group. Second, no nation in
its senses is going to enter into a bar
gain with us which will give us the
maximum advantage in trade. What
we want is a protective tariff right
away, and an even show with our
competitors.

JAPANESE INDUSTRY ACTIVE

Seven hundred and sixty new com
panies were organized in Japan dur
ing the first seven months of the car
rent Year, compared with 731 dd ing
the iiIst seven months of 1915, &C
cording to a report just rendered to
the Department of Commerce by u.

crease in industries, comparing the
two periods, was in chemicals, num-
bering IA. Ceramics ranked second
with an increase of 26; tissue indus
tries third, with IS; and machine
tools fourth, with Is.
Not a day passes that this country
is not appraised of the wonderful
strides Japan is making in Industrial
development, due to the enormous
amount of capital which has poured
into that country through the sale
of war supplies. and to the fact that
Japan is Selling her opportunities
while Europe is in a death grapple.
u. S. Commercial Attache w. G,
Downs has published a statement to
the effect that Japan has become a
rival of the United States in supply
ing hardware to Australia. The U. S.
consuls in China have repeatedly
called our attention to the gradual
displacement in that country of
American cotton goods by those man
grfactured in Japan. Last year Japan

RIYALING AMERICAN
CITRUS INDUSTRY

Consul General George H.. Murphy.
writing from Capetown, South Afri-
ca, says that fruit raising has become
one of the vital interests of South
Africa in the last few years; that
about 100000 orange trees have been
planted especially for the export
trade, and hundreds of thousands
more will soon be planted. IF there
had been room in the steamers" he
asserts, "it is very probable that at
least a million boxes of oranges
would have been shipped this year.
The largest expectation prior to the
war was $4,000 boxes"
Some time ago the British South
African Gazette commented On the re-
markable development of the citrus
fruit industry in South Africa, and
prophesied that California would be
outrivaled within the next few years.
Kaffir labor is employed in the in
dustry, and there is nothing like the
overhead charges there that are re
quired in California and Florida. The
present tariff law exacts merely nom
inal customs duties on oranges and
lemons. These low rates were bitter
ly fought by our citrus fruit produc-
ers, but to no avail. Failure to mark
up the rates to a basis which will
meet South African low cost of pro-
duction will spefl disaster to our own
orange and lemon groves and one of
the most wholesome of American in
dustries will fall a victim to Kaffir
labor.

imported a billion pounds of raw
cotton. She purchased her first spin
dies from us and has copied them by
the thousands as her cotton goods
industry developed. Ralph Odell, of
the Department of Commerce, recent
ly reported that while our export
trade in cotton goods to China had
dropped to one-third of what it for
merly was, that of Japan had in
creased nine-fold. Inquiry vas made
last year of Governor-Genera Harri-
son as to the reason for the shortage
of Philippine hemp in the American
market. 1t developed that Japan had
been a heavy buyer in the Philip
pines. She is buying sheep in Aus
tralia with a view to raising her own
wool and making it into cloth. She
has her eye on the great ore deposits
of China to be sheltered in the mills
of Hiroshima. She is importing large
quantities of Argentine hides.
That Japan should develop new in
dustries and new markets is perfect
ly natural. That American producers
may ultimately be compelled to re-
linquish their hold on the Asiatic and
Oceanic markets in some products
seems certain. But the losses which
we may sustain in exports to those
quarters of the globe pale into insig-
nificance when compared with the
certainty of Japanese encToachment
on our domestic market if rates of
duty sufficiently protective are not
speedily adopted. During the first
eight months of the current year ia
pans exports to US were twice the
value of those during the first eight
months of 1913. The American Econ
omist recently published a pamphlet
showing wages paid in japanese in
dustries, taken from official Jananese
sources. They ranged from II cents
a day, in the case of children, to 55
cents a day for men. In addition to
this Japan subsidies many of her
chief industries, a policy which would
not be tolerated in this country. Jap
anese clothiers come into this eoun-
try, take measurements, mail them
back home, the goods are made to
measure, and returned to the custo-
mer. A lucrative business has been
developed in making baseballs in
Japan for our market. And Japan is
acting as her own carrier in her
trade with US, as well as with other
nations. She is marking up freight
rates for all the traffic will stand,
and giving preference in space facili-
ties to her own goods.
If a referendum vote could be held
in this country today on the question
of protection or free trade, the former
would win. The fact that in the dye
stuffs tariff the party now in power
departed from its traditional policy
indicates the pressure which was
brought to bear from all sections of
the country to overthrow free trade.
We must have a revision of the tariff
and that revision must be upward.
And when the time comes to revise,
the industrial development of Japan
and the pittance-wage paid to Orien-
tai labor must receive the deepest
consideration.
