One Change Made i'm
Shooting Regulations
1t is Now Permissible to Shoot wa
terfowl Half Hour Before
Sunrise

single change in the federal shoot
ing regulations is announced for this
year 1t pertains to shooting before
sunrise
Under the present regulations, shoot
ing before sunrise is forbidden but there
has been a great demand, especially
from western states, for a change in this
regulation.
The representation is made that in
many of these states ducks leave the
lakes early in the morning to feed in
the fields and do not return until night
fall This is particularly the case in the
intermountain states, where there is not
a great deal of water and the oppor-
tunities to shoot waterfowl are few.
The Secretary Of Agriculture therefore
announces a. change in this regulation
to permit shooting from one-half hour
before sunrise until sunset This applies
to the entire country. 1t does not, how
ever, replace the state law where the
state law, as in the case of Missouri, Inn
poses stricter prohibition.

WHY THE BARREL OF A
GUN BECOMES RUSTY
This Article Explains the Why and
Wherefore-Learn Something
by Reading 1t

If you shoot firearm and then put
it away without cleaning the inside
Of the barrel, it will become so rusty
in a short time that it will lose its &C
curracy entirely.
Have you ever stopped to think that
it is rather odd that the inside of a
barrel should be so subject to rust?
Other kinds of tools don't require half
the amount of attention to keep them
in perfect shape.
Take razor, for instance; when you
finish shaving you give it careless
wipe on the towel and forget about IL
until the next morning. You wouldn'
think of putting oil or gun grease on
it to keep it from rusting because you
have found by practical experience
that it isn't necessary.
1t is rather interesting to know why
one rusts and the other doesn't.
The problem is really one of chem
istry, and rather complicated one al
that. To begin with, rust itself Is o
combina ton of the iron of the barre
with oxygen. This combination takes
place whenever conditions are favor
able. The presence of acid in even the
smallest quantities is very favorable to
the formation of rust and substances
OF an ak alne nature tend to prevent
rust
Having figured out this much, 1t Il
easy to see why the inside of rifle OF
shotgun barrel should be more sub
ject to rust than a razor. The residue
of both black and smokeless powder
! is acid to more or less extent, ant
the formation of rust is proof thai
YOU have not really cleaned the bar
rel thoroughly.
Most gun barrels that end prema.
turely on the scrap heap are there moi
| because their owners willfully neg
| lected them. but because they were
| uniformed as to the amount of cars
necessary to keep a barrel in goot
condition. One or two rags pushed
| through the bore will not remove al
| the foulng by any means-a gooc
scrubbing with nitro solvent oil il
really necessary to make sure that ne
rust Will form.
! The alkali in soap has great dea
| to do with the way in which a razor
stays bright without oil to keep i
| from rustng. Every time you use it, {
soapy lather comes in contact witt
\ 1t and tends to kill any acid that may
| be present from contact with sweat,
! hands or from any other source d
| course the razor is not subject to thu
effects of gunpowder.
| IT you keep In mind that the leas
little bit of powder residue in the bore
| is sufficient to cause a bad case o.
| rust. and always clean on the .prin.
ciple that too much is better than no
1 enough. you will have no trouble with
rusty barrels

Consumption Has Increased With the
Growth in Population, Incident

Greatly increased water consumption

preparations.
According to report made to the War
Department by Col. Fisk. engineer Off
Ger, in charge of the District water
supply system, the average quantity of
water pumped to the filters per day
during the month of January last was
70.Ss0.000 gallons. That was 12,73O.00O
gallons more than was pumped during
the preceding month and 1850, 900 GAL
Ions more than during January, 1917.
The maximum day for January, 1918.
was 75.s70,00o gallons. The minimum
was 64,600.000 gallons. The average
daily consumption since July 1, 1917.
was 6O,67O,0o0 gallons. as against So
$4,000 gallons for the preceding fiscal
year.
The heavy increase last month is at
t1buted primarily to increased popu-
lation, and then to the practice of con-
at all hours of day and night to prevent
freezing in the pipes.
According to Gen. Black, chief of en- =
gineers, the safe daily capacity of the
District water supply system is S5,-

D. c. CAR MEN MAY
PETITION INCREASE
Capital Traction Company Workers
Considering Action to Obtain
Salary Boost.

Capital Traction Company employees
may petition that company for a re-
vision of its wage scale. The matter
is under consideration, and decision
is expected at meetings being held to-
day.
There are believed to be no strike
possibilities in the situation. Under
the terms of the agreement, reached at
the time of the last strike, wage dis
putes must be taken to the District
Commissioners. whose ruling will be
final.
This agreement is between the COM
pany and its employees who are mem
bers of division $50 of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and Elec-
trio Railway Employees of America,
and does not expire until March 80,
1920. 1t is provided, however, that
either party may. by giving written
notice at least thirty days prior to
March 80, 1918, or March 80, 1919. de-
mand a revision of the wage schedule.
If the employees decide to ask for
higher pay they must, under the terms
of the contract, submit their petition
not later than March 80.
In event the matter cannot be
Strengthened out in conference between
the amalgamated association and the
company it will go to the commission
ers for arbitration.
At the time the agreement was en-
tered into the pay of conductors and
motormen was placed at 25 cents an
hour for first-year men and from this
point it advanced to 80 cents an hour
for men seven years in the service or
longer. Last October the company vol
antarily increased wages 2 cents an
hour all along the line, so that first
year men now receive q cents an hour
and men seven years or longer in serv-
ice receive 80 cents
