I HARTFORD. Conn. June ST have
IL come to Hartford to tell you about
the automatic pistol which is doing
such good work in the hands OF our
boys in the trenches. 1t is the favorite
American weapon, just as the knife is
the favorite weapon Of the Italian and
the hand grenade that OF the German.
The latter choice is because the Ger

Seven Shots in Three Seconds.
During my stay here I have had a
chance TO see what these pistols VIII
do. One Of the best shots of the
United States is A. J. Geskie. Of
Connecticut, the head Of the target
division Of the Colt Firearms Manu-
featuring company. He gave me an
exhibition OF the pistol firing it fin a
half dozen different ways. He start
ed in with an automatic in a leather
holster strapped tight TO his side. just
as IL is carried by the soldier while iu
the trenches. The leather top was
fastened, but Mr.. Geskie unbuttOned
the flap, grabbed out the gun and
fired seven shots in the space Of three
seconds.
He next picked up a pistol from the
table and fired seven shots in one sec
ond. the cartridges going off so fast
that I could hardly count the indi-
vidual sounds. He then shot at mark
IS yards away. and sent seven bull
lets into a bulls eve as big around as
the bottom of a lineup. II took him
only y seconds by my watch to aim
and shoot Later he shot seven shots
in six seconds. hitting the bulls eye

SUlzER MEASURE
Western Montana Fish and
Game Association in
Resolutions.
REASONS SET FORTH
State Members in Congress
Urged to Use Support
Against Bill.
REASONS SET FORTH

Following are the resolutions adopted
at the special meeting OF the Western
Montana Fish and Game association
| neld in Missoula on Friday evening
The action was taken following a dis
cnssion of the Sulzer bill. recently in
troduccd in congress. which calls for
the total annihilation of big game in
the Alaskan territory and provides for
the cold storage and commercializa-
ton Of the same.
The Resolutions.
Resolved, that it is the belief of this
organization that the proposed act of
congress known as the SufZer bill is
unwisc, uncalled for and an infringe
1ncnt upon the rights of the people re-
siding within the territory mentioned
in said bill as follows:
FIRST: II is unwise and uncailed for
mat the wild game in the mentioned
territories should be placed under the
jurisdiction of the federal government.
ana would inevitably cause Il clash he
tween the state and federal authorities
IN the enforcement of laws respecting
the protection of game,
Second: Such law would he an in
ifnsemcnt Of the sovereign rights OF
Inc states twherein the Same is appli-
cahle) 70 govern and control its own
internal affairs.
ihlfu. me appropriation, killing
and use of the game anipals mentioned
- the bill would result in a perma-
nent loss to the territory mentioned
which would never be made good, and
would be no more wise than the
slaughter of all domestic animals
Fourth: The results to be obtained
from the killing and use of wild ami :
mails as suggested. would not Justify
the expense involved; the same amount
OF energy and money expended in the
raising of additional crops of wheat
and other cereals would produce more
food than would be obtained by the
slaughter of wild animals rs suggested.
FIFTH: The proposed act is not in
the nature of conservation of natural
resources, but is rather an act tending
toward useless destruction of re-
sources. and would require an army OF
hunters that could be more usefully
employed in other war vocations.
In conclusion we most earnestly pro-
test against the enactment aforesaid
ard respectfully solicit our members of
congress to vote against the same.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch. PIN
pies, rashes, blackheads. in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is safe,
antiseptic liquid. clean. easy to use and
safe for tender, sensitive skins
