Gun PRACTICE BYELECTRICU LIGHT
NOWBEING TRIED OUT IN THE EAST

FEW YORK. Dec 1o.-Trapshoot-
M ing by electric light is the
= latest dish to be added to the
sporting menu.
Golf, tennis. baseball and track
athletics-from sprinting to Marathon
races-have been tried under the
powerful rays Of the calcium without
adding anything to their popularity;
yet there are those who believe that
trapshoOting IS destined to become a
more important factor IN the world
OF sport through the medium OF arti-
fetal light
Difficult Matter.
There are many who find Il an ex-
tremely difficult task to shatter the
clay targets with daylight in abun-
dance; and these people. quite natur-
ally, will not star or become famous
through their efforts under electric
light.
No matter how good the light
Ing system may be, "a won't come
up to the quality OF light fur
nished in the daytime-eyery day.
During the past few months quite
a number OF these trapshooting tour
trio light. have been held, and every
one has been successful
On Venice Pier. Los Angeles, more
than 100000 targets were thrown in
two months. Here the shooting was
done with 20-gauge guns. The only
criticism Of Venice was that there
wasn't room enough for all those who
desired to shoot
Jacksonville Leads.
The first shoot ever held under the
calcium lights was conducted by the
Jacksonville, Ill, Gun club, several
years ago, and then the Salem, n. J..
Yacht and Gun club introduced the
sport in the east. Around Salem way
Illinois is considered in the west, but
in what is really the west Illinois is
considered in the east
Anyway, Salem had a corking shoot.
They had lights over and behind the
shooters, lights on the side OF the
traphouse which threw rays outward
and upwards; two stereopticon lights

John Tinker of Gypsum Backed Into

John Tinker of Gypsum, made a
peculiar entrance into the Chronicle
building yesterday morning at 1000
o'clock. He climbed into his car
(which was parked in front Of the
" Hard service station and started
to back away from the curbing. His
left foot was resting on the brake
pedal and he was feeding the gaso-
line with his right foot. Instead of
pushing on the clutch and brake ped
ais, he pressed the throttle and brake
The car bounced up over the curbing
ana backed into the glass front in the
Chronicle building.
Two large panes, costing $50 each,

closed the offices, was pushed back
about foot. The front glass was
one fourth inch thick and the only
thing that saved Tinker from injury
was the top Of his car. The car was
unchanged other than a small pune
tire in the gasoline tank.
The windows are fully insured but
it will be month before the glass
cab be replaced. The same insurance
company replaced a window in the
building about two months
ago AT that time the building sag

A box of matches all wired up and

rays of the sun to the matches was
found on the south side of Archie
Nandiyers rye stacks on the Karber
farm just north of Gypsum, Wednes-
day, when threshers were just ready
to commence threshing.
The matches were scorched and
some of them had the appearance. of
having become nearly fired at some

would shine directly upon the glass

NO DOUBT NOW
THAT MORE MEN WILL BE CALL
ED FOR NATIONAL ARMY.
Need About 137, 900 Men--Will Take
Only Few From Dickinson
County-8S7, 900 Are
Now at Camp.

Orders were received by the local
board today that 40 per cent more
OF Dickinson's quota of Al, or g
more men, are to be called to Camp
Funston between Oct and Oct 8.
Notices will be sent out the first OF
the week.
There is little doubt now but that
large deficiency OF men will be
shown when the first increment OF
the national army, 6s7 900 men, has
been modified. The guard brought
into the federal service total of not
more than 10000 men possibly less
1t will take, therefore l37,0e0 ma
tional army men to fill up the guard
divisions. II Is estimated that the
number now in the national army
will not be nearly sufficient altho the
war department does not give any
definite number of men that will be
drafted the next time.
1t is the opinion here that very
few men will be taken from Dickinson
county. The shortage is so small that
the number taken from this county
will not exceed five men and four OF
by the district board at Wichita.
Secretary Baker also gives an ex-
planation for consolidating the
Fourth Missouri and Third Kansas
regiments. In making this consoli-
dation the department is attempting
to keep the forces as much localized
as possible The same practice will be
followed in assigning men from the
national army to national guard un-
its. Wherever practical, national
army men will go to regiments from
their own states. However, for Com
Eany II, the action will be just oppo-
site and it will not be localized at
all The local officers will be sub
ordinated and several dismissed But
there still seems to be hope that the
order will be changed.
