tiee. The timer who could not stop the
leaks in his own roof would not prosper
greatly. A protesting Christian who looks
like the nersonfication of gloom, brings
discredit upon the cause of Christ. Re-
fleet the joy in your heart by a cheer
of living that must bring a powerful ap-
peal u the man who lives without Christ
The man with brisk step, shining eyes,
and voice vibrant with happiness con-
vinces men that the religion of Christ is
something practical, something that
works.

WILMINGTON HEADED
FOR SHOOTING TITLE
Easily Defeated Glen Willow, 448
to 43O, in Championship
Match.

The Wilmington Trapshooting Club
triumphed over Glen Willow in the shoot
for first place in the Philadelphia Trap
shooters League Saturday afternoon by
the score of AS to 430. One of the largest
groups of shooters of the league season
turned out for the two clubs, a total OF ~
taking part, divided almost evenly be-
tween the two clubs. The event was held
at the Glen Willow shooting grounds, at
Paoli avenue, Roxborough, Philadelphia.
The visiting shooters put 1t all over the
Philadelphia stars, and almost from the
time the first squad faced the traps until
the last man had taken his hand at tho
CLAWS. Wilmington was slowly increasing
her margin. The clay pigeons behaved 'gFa-
usually cratic, due to the imperfect con-
dition of the traps. and on the whole very
I good averages were made by the marks
men. The day was dull and gray, and at
times. it was very difficult to distinguish
the claws against the sky, and the help oi
strong wind added still more to the
erratic action of the clays.
Tomlln, of Wilmington, made the high
total for the day, with AZ breaks out OF his
quota of 80. Tomlin, IN fact, gave the best
exhibition of any of the marksmcn. lie
was the only man TO make straight
frame of 25 breaks throughout the after
noon. This feat he accomplished on his
first trip to the traps. In his second frame
he lost two.
For second high honors there uss q
triple tic. between Riggs. of Glen Willow,
and du Pont and Lccdom. of the Viii
mington Club. All had totaled AZ birds
TO their credit.

The announcement by General March
that the 10Th Division-the Maryland,

added to the army of Occupation has
caused some disappointment, for it was
assumed that the arrival OF a few OF
the wounded meant the coming OF the
whole division. Friends of these men
were hoping to see the old units back IN
the same buildings for the period OF
