RIFLE CLUBS FORM
 10 STUDY DEFENSE
Board Believes Citizens Should
 Learn Use Of Firearms
Especial to the Herald

Washington, April 1.-The Nation al Board for Promotion of Rifle Prac- tlce is carrying on an active canvass among members of congress from New England and elsewhere with a view to organizing rifle clubs among civil
 Hans throughout the country. Con- srCssmen from Connecticut and other states have been asked to furnish lists of names of persons in their states who are interested in joining rifle clubs. The board undertakes to see that all clubs formed in this way are supplied With rifles and ammunition
 The board calls attention to the de- slrabllity of having citizens accus- toned to the use of firearms and says that the volunteer who can hit what he shoots at is eighty per cent. eff cient as a soldier. The board sup plies local rifle clubs and similar or ganizations, through the cooperation of the United States government, ~hich has 3OO,000 Krag Jorgensen riffes and 3O0O0,O00 cartridges for them, which are being distributed to rifle clubs, etc. . These rifles are of the type with which the United States army was equipped up until a few years ago, when the latest model Of the Springfield rifle was substitut- ed for it. That there is a good deal Of interest in the matter is shown by the fact that during three months of this year there were 316 rifles and nearly million and a half cartridges distributed to rifle clubs.
 Under the rules being observed ten or more persons may form a rifle club ln any city, town, village or country in or near which there is a rifle range or ore may be constructed. Blank forms, and other data for use in forming rifle clubs may be obtained from the head quarters of the National Board for the Pfomot of Rifle Practice, which IS in charge of Major Fred H. Phillips, Jr, in this city. The board reports considerable progress in promoting rifle practice, numerous clubs, state associations, militia regime ents, col leges universities, schools and boys having become affiliated with the na- tional rifle association during recent months since the interest for national preparedness became widespread

OUR NEW SPRING
 SUITS FOR YOUNG MEN

CONCERNING OUR NEW SPRING
 SUITS FOR YOUNG MEN You'll wonder when you see them, how we were able to get such splendid fabrics,-these war times. For, as everyone knows, honest, sturdy wool ems are hard to get, right now.
 But you'll find here the same ster- ling quality, that you've always gotten here,-and the same low prices in our
 SPRING SUITS
 for Men and Young Men at
 $14.9S to $3O.OO.
 The reason? Simply that Schloss Bros. & Co.,, of Baltimore and New York and other fine makers who SUD- ply us, long ago anticipated this war famine of good cloth, and used their great resources to stock up, before prices went up.
 Many of the patterns can't be dup Heated now at any price so you see how wise the man is who buys early this Spring. A splendid showing here noW.-but don't wait too long.

New York, April il, Wall St. 10:30 a. m.-The only exception to the general firmness of today's opening on the stock exchange was New Haven, which declined a point.

United States Steel operated with a sale of 1,500 shares at a slight gain over yester- days close.

view he is quoted as follows:
"The art of self defense means just
what the term implies-the ability to
protect yourself from attack on the
street or at any other place. How
many modern boxers can do that
Not many I'll venture.
IF Willie Richie had to fight on the
street I'll bel he wouldn't know as
much about 1t as does the ordinary
barroom scrapper. Anyhow he would
MT dare hit He'd be afraid to break
his hands
Commenting on the parrying OF
blows by means Of the forearms he
says:
Fhe way to parry a blow Is with
the palm of your hand and the hard
er the punch the easier il is to turn.
Think of bare knuckle fighter try
ing to parry a blow with his arms. He
would get bone broken the first five
minutes. The wonder to me is that
so simple an art as boxing could be so
thoroughly forgotten.
There are only two punches that
a man need learn to take care of him

straight left at the jaw and a right
TO the stomach. The straight left,
however. should not be a mere jab

MUST QUIT Eating
CROP BEFORE MADE
South Must Stop Time-Honored sys-
tenn OF Economic Suicide,
Says n. G. Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special) -"The peo-
pie of the south must quit eating their
cotton or other so-called cash crop
before it is made if they ever expect
to accumulate wealth and have the
comforts and luxuries of life due
them," says Fl. G. Hastings, agricul-
tural vice president of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce, and a fore
most authority on farm conditions in
the southeast.
"The south must stop forever it's
time-honored system of economic sui
cide," says Mr.. Hastings. Advanced
steps were made last year toward al
condition of farm independence in the|
Cotton Belt. They were forced steps,
it is true, but they marked an advanced
just the same, and more bread andI
meat, more grain, forage and other
food and feed stuffs were made inI
1915 than ever before, with the result
there are tens of thousands of farm
ers better off than in past years,
despite short crops and business de-
preston.
with higher cotton prices, it is
going to be great temptation to
drop back into the old habit Of put
ting cotton, or whatever other cash
crop one may be growing, in pawn
for bread and meat. We are suffer
ing today from the old system fore
cd on us by conditions following the
Civil war, necessary then, but unnecz
essary now
year after year we have stayed in
the same old rut as matter of habit,
eating our crops, SO to speak, before
they were made, a financially suicidal
policy for the farmer, each year put
ting his nose little closer to the
credit grindstone.
-"If the south had not been SO rich
in natural resources, this system
would have bankrupted us long ago.
What's the answer? 1t is home pro-
duction by each farmer of every dol
lars worth Of food and grain supplies
needed on his farm that it is posi-
BILE to grow on his own acres. This
means good big home gardens; hogs,
chickens, cows and something to feed
them on through the year."
