 Editor National Sports Syndicate. LEARN TO SHOOT.
 That's the cry that is ringing throughout the United States.
 Our forefathers were great shots. depended upon their skill with the shotgun and rifle. Because our forefathers were prof. cient in the use of firearms America has long been respected and spoken | of as a nation of shooterS.d
 l This is far from being the truth. We have deteriorated greatly. In these days of civilization and Hun fighting we do not eke out an existence because of our skill' as shooters-and haven't for many years-and therefore there are millions of Americans who cannot shoot. True, there are millions who can shoot, but it is the ones who can not that this message is to. It is to | those people we say:
 Learn to shoot"
 1 It won't do you any harm, it may do yourself and your country lot of good. The government is giving a course in trapshooting to applicants for the aviation service and trapshoot- 1 ing clubs the country over have thrown open their traps and equipment to drafted men so that they may learn i to shoot under capable instructors and be that much better fitted for service when they are called upon. Guns are getting to be habit. Shooting is the most popular of all pastimes. The smell of exploded gunpowder is altar | of roses to the multitude.
 | The war and the cry on which we based this story has been the means | of taking down the storm doors from | thousands of deserted shooting galler 1 ies and they are all turning out their quota of marksmen.
 New Thrill For Broadway. The cry has been heard on Broad way too, and shootin.- is the newest pastime on the goodtime boulevard. Broadway needed a new thrill It wanted something different. What Broadway wants it gets. The thrill is there It is different. It is outdoors shooting indoors.
 The Bounding Buck animated target range at Forty-seven street and Broad
 way is the place in mind. There isn't another such place in the world. It is
 not to be thought of in the same light
 as the shooting galleries of other days. As we mentioned before it is different. The place gives all the appearance of | the high-class hotel, and it has every comfort of the modern hostelry, and
 the target range besides. The sur
 roundings are high-class and the at tendants are all trained military vete- rans.
 The place is. thronged from noon till midnight with men and women who
 go Individually, in pairs and in parties
 as they would to the theatre, and in the same dress. Here one can shoot at game bear. lions. moose, ducks. etc,

with all the pleasure that goes with outdoor hunting and none of the dis agreeable features. And besides. you can take a shot at an airplane or a U-boat
 The animal subjects are moving pie tures. All are cinematographed in their native haunts. When the hunter shoots small light appears in the screen where the bullet strikes and holds up the picture for three seconds
 George Conan tried this indoor shoot ing and said it was great stuff, and it is because it is sport with pur- pose.
