PROVES AN APT PUPIL
NOVICE IN TRAPSHOOTING
MAKES GOOD SHOWING
PfttsburRher Goes TO Atlantic City and
Breaks Twenty-Five Straight After
Weeks Instruction.

One week after Norman Alderdice.
or Pittsburgh, began visiting the Tran
shooting School. on the Million-DoI-
lar Pier. In Atlantic City, n. J.. he
broke twenty-five targets straight"
He performed the feat with twenty
gauge gun.
Breaking twenty-five straight" is no
great difficulty for a considerable
number of trapshooters in this broad
land, at least with twelve-gauge
gun. With a twenty-gauge gun il Is
very much harder. for the load is
smaller and will not carry with the
same effect as from the larger gun
But twenty-five Straight" for Mr. AL
derdtce was quite a remarkable feat.
He had never shot at the traps be-
fore his visit to the school. He had
done some little hunting for rabbit
and quail. and while he undertook elk
hunting to certain degree he had alb
solutely no knowledge OF trapshoot-
ing. Therefore, he was novice
In the sport ailurinE." Alderdice
fired at 1,5o5 targets before he ran
his single string OF twenty five
straight.
His first visit netted his fifty breaks
In the 100 targets shot at. This was
Sii thdiSH oV MI. aiueTGlCe DtdceO
himself under the instruction of
"Hank" Stevens and learned per-
feet position at tho traps before he did
any firing. He returned the next day
and broke seventy-three out OF 100
targets thrown. April I. he broke ITO
out of ESQ targets: April 8. 15o out Of
ESQ; April 4. ninety-sx out Of It's;
April 5, 241 out OF 1926: April 6. l51
out of 200: April 7. ninety-eigh ,out
OF 12a. breaking the last twenty-five
In succession.
This is concrete example OF what
the trapshooting school can do for
those who havo a desire to learn to
shoot properly. The experience OF Mr.
Alderdlce bears out the idea that the
shooting school will prove It's worth
1t has already aided 226 novices to
better their aim. The first six weeks
the trapshooting school did business
500 persons faced the traps: 203 of this
number were male novices. and TWEEN
ty-three Of tho number wore women
who never before had shot at the tar

instance tho shooter was benefited by
the instruction received.

CHAPTER XII.
A Friendly Chat on the Peaceful
Sabbath.

Fi'o''e'y
Sabbath.
ar ARLEY. as president of the
Ring City Street Railway
company and as chairman OF
the impromptu convention OF
street car magnates, was so full Of
business that he felt stuffed like a SAT
sage. To his mind the fund they had
raised TO fight Allerton's Ubiquitous leg
islation was woefully inadequate. and
the men who SHOULD have been most
interested were strangely optimistic.
He suggested TO several of them that
they appoint a committee to see Aller-
ton and arrange some sort of compro.
mise, but here again he found an unex-
pected lukewarmness. Nobody seemed
TO think that Allerton could be
reached" and as "A matter OF fact cv-
cry time he preached that subject he
found his fellow magnates eyaslye.
The newspapers need not have blazed
fund. because there positively was
none. The subscription secured was
only for the conduct of a publicity cam
paign and to pay for the services OF a
perfectly legitimate lobbyist, who
would explain the reasonable rights of
the street car men.
On Saturday morning the visitors all
went home. looking tagged about the
eyes. without having done much more
than pass some frothy resolutions and
raise the feeble fund referred to and
Investigate by electric light whatever
the keys Of the city would unlock; and
President Marley. staggering under the
burden Of his position. was very much
worried.
He confdel his fears TO his future
son-in-law after he had seen the last
tired, hard working magnate on a train
headed for home and remorse.
II don't THINK these men appreciate,
as l do, the need of controlling street
car legislation" he complained. AL
lerton's bill looks like a to all
my interests. and ! am a little bat sur
prised that Sledge. since his entrance
into the game on a big scale, does not
seem more concerned about it."
1T was Sledge who arranged to have
these fellows come together" Bert re
minded him.
YES" admitted Marley. but he
seemed to have such feeble ideas about
what to do after he had them here.
1t wasn't like his usual vigorous
methods"
Then he has something up his
sleeve" decided Bert. 81 wish that
fellow would drop dead. I'm afraid Of
him."
you've been talking to Molly"
laughed her father.

day, land they will not have to play
any brass instrument, just the string

are DESTROYS of starting out in life no
better place can be found than Sa-
moa for saving money. There is no
chance to spend money there; every
thing is furnished by the government,
even free moving picture shows, so a
man could go there and practically
save most of his pay.
The Pearl Harbor band is pro-
crossing rapidly, but owing to the
strict rules Of the service there are
several vacancies yet to be filled. II
should be remembered that as soon as
these are filled II will be impossible
TO enlist, only IN case of vacancy, so
those considering the matter should
take advantage at once. @
Also, remember that the naval bill
has just passed Congress and that the
