 Iowa for the second successive year leads in the formation of gun clubs birth being given to seven in the Hawkeye State m 1917, Ten was the mum Der of new clubs that Iowa con- tributed in 1916.
 Interstate Association records show that 40 clubs saw the light of day in 1917, but unofficial figures give the list ot new trapshooting clubs as well up in the hundreds.
 The Interstate, Association, the na- tional body of trapshooting,- offers to donate trophy to every newly form cd club, so that the members may have something to shoot for from the beginning.

Trophies for Team Shooting Wilt be
 Continued in 1918.

The Interstate Association trap shooting's parent body. tried out new idea in 1917. that of giving tro- phies for competition between trap shooting teams. and the scheme prov ed successful: so successful that it will be continued in 1e1S
 The idea of the association is to promote inter-city and team competi- ton by the donation of trophies. the teams to shoot for. Should two or more teams of the same or rival cit- les care to engage in a competition, the Interstate Association will glad ly present a trophy for the match.
 Thirtysfx of these trophies were awarded in 1917. about equally dis tributed between the east and the west. As these competitions make for better sport there isn't any reason why the Interstate Association should not be called upon to donate 100 tro- phies in the year at hand. ~
