TRAP SHOOTING IS POPULAR
With Very Few Exceptions Every State in Union Participated in
 Grand American.

With the exception of New Mexico, New Hampshire, Maine and Virginia, trap shooters from every state in the Union, and Canada too, participated in the recent grand American trap shooting tournament at St. Louis. There can be no question about the popularity of a sport that will attract 683 entrants from A states, the Dis trict of Columbia and Canada. Of this number Illinois supplied the great est number, 225; Missouri was next with not quite half as many as Illi- nois, 112 Of Illinois total, Chicago supplied A, more than any other city in the country.
 The best representation of any city in the country, however, was made by Hillsboro, Ill. This town of 1000 pop ulation has gun club of 40 members and of this number ten shot in the big handicap meet. The largest states do not always supply the greatest num- Der of entrants in such a tournament as the grand American. Pennsylvania, for instance, contributed but six en- trants, while Iowa had fl Indiana had 45, Ohio had 30, Kansas had 21, Okla homa 19 Wisconsin and Tennessee IT each, Michigan 12, Alabama 12 and Texas II. These were the only states to get into double figures.

BEST AGE FOR TENNIS
Man Plays at Topnotch When
 Thirty-Five Years Old.
Champion Williams Says Mclaughlin Not Through Because He Is Twen- ty-Six Years of Age-Will
 Keep on Playing.

"How long can a man play topnotch tennis?"
 +. Norris Williams, II, gave vent to a modest chuckle before answering this query put to him shortly after he had defeated William Johnston, California, in the national lawn tennis champion ship finals at Forest Hills, N. Y.
 Why. I should say until he is thirty four or thirty-five. Do you think 'Mor- rie' Mclaughlin is entirely broken sim ply because he is twenty-six?' the champion asked in reply. Not a bit of it. It is entirely probable, and I shouldn't in the least be surprised to see him come back to the best he ever played within the next six years and regain the title.
 T have no expectations, but only hopes, as to the length of time I can remain champion or a championship contender. I am twenty-four now.
The Carlisle independent., 1916-11-30

And a man ought to play the very best tennis of his career around twenty-nine or thirty, for the reason that at that age he is likely to have retained his stamina and to have played long enough to have acquired the experience which is so valuable in big matches. Look at Karl Behr. He is far from broken.
 There may be this, however, to be said about Mclaughlin. It is highly possible that his smashing style takes the physical strength out of man in his younger years, where the game which either William Johnston or I play would conserve it. It is not im- possible that vital difference lies there.
 q expect to keep up with my tennis while in business as much as I did while at Harvard where I was gradu- ated last June"

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY v. NJ. PIERCE, M. D.)

The subject of drinking water with meals has been misunderstood.
 In recent years investigation by means of X-rays, the observations of scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an abundance of water taken during di- gestion is necessary in good bodily housekeeping.
 If your kidneys are sick, or you suf- fer with lumbago or rheumatism at times, pain in the back or back of the neck, take little Anuric before meals. This can be found at any good drug store. Therefore my advice to young or old is, always drink plenty of pure water. And for long life, occasionally take tablets of Anuric three or four times day.
 Anuric acts much more quickly than lithia. Many find 1t dissolves uric acid as water does sugar.

GOLF GAINS IN POPULARITY
Sport Has Taken Firm Grip Upon All Glasses of PeopIe-Demands Best
 Brain and Muscle.

It is an indication of hopeless pro- vincialism for anybody to deride the game of golf nowadays. This sport has taken such firm hold upon all classes of people, 1t has become so universal and it's popularity is so permanently founded that the jibes and wheezes of dull wits no longer have any force. Only the hopelessly ignorant now char acterize it as sissy" It is, in fact, a full-blooded, strong-bodied and absorb ing sport that demands the best brain and muscle that can be put into it.. Golf is really becoming a close com petitor with baseball for the title of the national game.-Pacific Golf and Motor.

AFFAIR A CREDIT TO THE COMMUNITY

the Boys Minstrels of the Junior
Civic League of the Woman's
Club of Palisade, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Samuel Edgar Darby, ir.,
took place Friday evening of last
week at Carney's Hall, Grantwood.
1t was brilliant success, judged
on what the show represented,
the talent exhibited, the large
audience that was present, the
very largest that ever attended
any event in Grantwood or Pail
SADIE, and the criticisms of hun
dreds who say that the entertainment
was in class by itself. Of course,
it was just boys minstrel show, but
there are shows and shows of this
kind. This one was in the superla-
tive class because it represented the
capabilities of young man who
knows how to preserve the integrity
of the legend of minstrel shows in
general, and possesses the ability to
add a great amount of novelty and
innovation that others have not be-
fore presented. For this reason
young Mr.. Darby from the purely
artistic side of his show, deserves
every commentator because he was
sincere and loyal to good taste, and
gave every necessary attention to the
things that go to make an evening of
this character what it ought to be.
If to call it the refined type of the
minstrel show, it may be said with
every degree of justice to the creator
of the show, that it justified itself in
every particular 1t had character,
ensemble-and this, perhaps, was one
of its chief charms and it had the
joy of youth in every line. This was
in truth the essence of Mr.. Darby's
triumph, for3 without the precious
spirit of young boyhood that effer-
vesced throughout the entire evening,
it might have grown stereotyped. It
was this earnest seriousness with
which the boys entered into the pre-
sentation that made the audience keep
in mild state of frenzy of enjoy
ment throughout the entire evenings
performance. It would not be over

For Accident

The suit of Mrs. ]. J. Nell, jr., of
Larch avenue, Bogota, against Will
lam G. Godstrey, of Edgewater, for
injuries sustained in jumping from a
runaway taxicab on the Edgewater
hill on January 16 last, was begun
in the Circuit Court, Hackensack, on
Thursday morning before Judge Will
lam M. Seufert.
In opening, counsel for the plaintiff
alleged that Mrs. Nell, in jumping
from the taxi, had struck her head on
a stone, fracturing the skull, besides
which her ear drum was shattered
and torn, and her body lacerated in
various parts. He said she had re-
ceived "frightful and terrible" injury
and that her mice smooth face" was
now wrinkled as a result of the acct
dent. "She came back a human
MINUS" he declared, "instead of a

The defendant denies all liability,
and says he was not owner of the
garage, which belonged to a company

He also says that the man who drove
the taxi was not a chauffeur, only a
Waterman, and had no business to
take out the car.
