LEARN TO SHOOT
Every Young Man of War Age
Should Do So.
Practice at Traps Gives Sol
diers Big Advantage.
BY CAPT. A. H. HARDY.

You would not think of allowing
your son to grow up without giving
him an education to fight life's battles.
If he were selected as a member Of
the football team you would want
him to practice and fit himself for the
job. In short, you believe in prepared
ness in everything that pertains to the
success of your sons young life.
But now your son has been drafted
for the army; he is subject to call at
any time. You fail to look into the
future and observe his requirements.
You know your son must come face
to face with veteran foe sooner or
later on the battlefield. You want
him to be able to defend himself The
man who is strong, alert and has ath-
letic training has an advantage In a
hand-to-hand encounter, but deadly
weapons are employed in this war. and
1t is very essential that each soldier
know all about their use.
Shooting is seven-tenths Of SOL
dier's business. The average soldier
learns how to drill; to do, the manual
of arms, and does learn something
about shooting, but individual ability
to handle rifle is achieved by few.
Prepare Now.
Every man vino has been drafted
and has not yet reported for duty
should waste TO time in learning how
to shoot straight. The government
hasn't time to make even accurate
shots out of it's national army. If you
have been drafted and know nothing
about the shooting game, go to the
nearest rifle, revolver or gun club, and
make your wishes known, and you will
always find willing and competent in
structors ready to do their best to aid
you.
But you hesitate. Does trapshoot-
ing assist me in rifle shooting?'
The recoil of the shotgun is about
tho same as that of the army rifle.
Your position in aiming is practically
the same. If you are new at the
game, trapshooting teaches you to
point your gun, think and pull the
trigger in unison. 1t teaches you to
absorb the recoil. You learn what the
mechanism of gun is. and something
about Its care, so when you do go up
against the recoil of Uncle Sans
shootingiron you do not finch at the
vital moment when you anticipate the
bang and Eecoil.
Trapshooting Aids.
Trapshooting does not teach you
anything about the use of rifle sights,
windage, and SO forth. My advice is,
II you have never fired a gun, try the
little .22-calibre rifle first. While you
learn nothing about windage and re-
coil, you do learn all the essential
rudiments of accurate shooting-how
to be careful and how to squeeze the
trigger off instead of jerking it off
But trapshooting teaches you many
things you should know to cope with
the present war, and chief among
these is hitting moving objects al
varied angles, and when you are con-
~ Tod I.xrx 80
try to hit them with a hand grenade
as they retreat. Your rifle or shotgun
will be your best pal then, and you
will thank God for all the knowledge
Of its use, and appreciate all you
learned about 1t in civil life.

of Our Destroyers'
Passage
TO HELP BRITISH

Seven Months

New York, Feb. How secretly tn
United States dispatched the first fotill'
of torpedo boat destroyers last April I,

German submarines. was told for tn,
first time publicly Wednesday night by
Commander J. X. Taussig, t. S. ~, VIII,

The narrative was related before al
audience which thronged Carnegie hal
to celebrate the opening of war savings

der Taussig's story of the work accom-
plished by the navy's ''greyhounds" far
from home was wildly cheered.
so anxious was the navy department
that the outside world in general know
nothing of the movement of these ships,
Commander Taussig said, that not even
| who was in command of the expedition
was informed of our destination.
"We were 10 days in making the trip,
due mostly to a southeast gale which
accompanied us for seven of the 10 days.
So rough was the sea during this time
that for seven of the days we did not
set our mess tables. We ate off our laps
On the ninth day we were pleased to be
met by little British destroyer named
the Mary Rose. She picked us up early
one morning and came along flying the
international welcome to the American
colors'
"They were very glad to see us. Things
were looking black. In the three pre-
vious weeks the submarines had sunk

depth bombs installed SO as to fight the
submarines. The night before we en-

hat had at least damaged one or two.
The patrol duty was very trying, as the
ocean was strewn with wreckage for
distance of 800 miles off shore,
"The night patrol work was very dan
,erous. There were frequent collisions
nd we had to use our judgment as to
whether We should turn on the lights
nd avoid danger of collision and take
he risk of submarine seeing us, or
eep our lights out and take our chances.
We have to remember that if subma
inc sinks US she only sinks one ship. A
erious collision might sink two ships,

Commander Taussig said there is com
lete cooperation between the American
nd British navies in foreign waters.

Apples in the Diet.

There are several reasons why apples
are desirable as a part of the diet The
apple is wholesome, appetizing, slightly
laxative and mildly nutritious. The use
of apples or other similar fruits at our
meals is highly conducive to health in
the way of promoting a normal peristal-
sis and thus avoiding constipation.
When the apple materials are burned
in the body, the resulting products are
alkaline instead of acid, and thus the
eating of apples and similar fruits tends
to prevent acidosis.
In the winter there is more need of
fruits than in the summer, and there
fore apples are more desirable as an ar
ticle of diet in winter than in summer.
Apple cider is laxative.-Irish World.
