1t is hard to teach an old dog new
tricks, and that is the principal rea-
son why many of our veteran sports
men who received their shooting edu-
cation in the old school still follow
the habit of aiming with one eye and
closing the other.
AS a matter Of fact probably three
out of every four sportsmen, or Is per
cent, use one only while the other rs
per cent use both eyes.
1t is obvious that there must be a
decided advantage when both eyes are
open, when we consider the disadvan-
tage of using a binocular for instance
with one eye closed With one eye,
the field is necessarily smaller and the
view not nearly as clear as when both
eyes are used.
If one has always kept both eyes
open while aiming a gun Of any kind
there will never be any wish to take
up one-eye aiming. But should the
sportsman of the one-eye aiming habit
wish to change over to tWo-eye aim
ing he will find it rather difficult at
first owing to the fact that the brain
has been trained to register only what
one eye sees. This is usually referred
to as the master eye not that it is
the stronger of the two, but because it
has been trained to function in this
way.
It may be said, therefore, that if one
has accustomed himself to the eXclus-
i've use of one eye in all shooting it
would be best to continue to aim as
heretofore In the case Of new
shooter, however, it would be dis
tinct advantage for him to start right
by using both eyes, thereby training
the brain to register the sight correct
ly from the START.
Charles Askins. an authority on the
subject, says:
"The style of aiming with both eyes
open may be exactly the same as with
one closed; that is. the gun is brought
up and there is a slight pause long

81 want every American soldier to be
able to shoot"
That sentence-brief and to the point
is from the lips of the commander of the
American forces Acknowledgement John j..
PerShng.
Every American soldier should be able
to shoot-and shoot straight-and SO
should every American. This feeling is
becoming more prevalent every day. The
Learn To Shoot idea is travelling fast.
The National Shooting Associations are
doing their utmost to encourage every one
to take up shooting as a means of res
creation and protection. Quite naturally
the government approves.
Learn to Shoot.
Every boy and man in Switzerland
knows how to shoot and there is no valid
reason why every American should not
be able to shoot. 1t is compulsory that
the Swiss learn to shoot A boy at the
age @ seven is given a gun and taught
some time in the army; several weeks
each year, and in this period of time one
demonstrates his fitness.
There is no need of compulsory legisla-
ton on this point in the United States,
for Americans are fully awake to the
fact that they must Learn To Shoot,
knowing how to shoot is the best form of
preparedness. Since the advent of
America into the World War Home De
Tense Guards have been formed in every
state the National Rifle Association has
taken new lease on life and the trap
shooting clubs have become places of the
utmost Importance. Working on the same
line as the Home Defense is the Ma
tional Association Of Shot Gun Owners.
In places the Home Defense Corps has
been supplied with rifles. but in a great
number of places this auxiliary defense
has been equipped with shotguns4 Shot
guns can be used more often because
long distance shooting or heavy execu-
ton at short range is unnecessary. New
York and Massachusetts Homo Defense
Corps are fully equipped with shotguns.
The police in many cities have been sup
piled with riot guns and to be a member
Of the National Association of Shot Gun
Owners it is necessary to own a gun and
have so rounds of ammunition.

Chess is viewed by most people as
something bordering on the mysterious,
and that it takes a mathematical mind
to understand ito those who think
so, can be given the advice Edgar AL

Should Both Eyes Be KEPT
Open When Aiming al Target ?

enough for the eye to find the front
sight, which is then placed upon the
point of aim.
"The focusing of the eye upon the
front sight, however, will probably
not be so sharp as with one eye shut,
with the consequence that the vision
of the game will be less dimmed. The
man accustomed to aiming with one
eye closed may find it best to teach
himself to shoot with both eyes open
while focusing upon the sight after
his acquired fashion.
However, this is not the favorite or
most effective mode of two-eye aim
ing. Modern wing shots have pro-
nounced in favor the Carver method
of gun pointing. While this style of
shotgun aiming is of modern origin,
yet it is the Oldest of all systems Of
directing a missile. 1t was used by
the rock singers, the spear throwers,
the dart casters, and was brought to
the greatest perfection by the long
bowmen.
Shooting in this fashion, an Indian
will drive a penny from between a
split stick with half his shots at so
feet or strike running deer at 800.
and doubtless the Anglo Saxon bow
men were much better shots than any
indian.

who remarked in a blase manner,
That writing poetry was very tedious,
whereupon Poe observed Poetry is
difficult, only to those who should let
it alone"
The writer agrees that one must
have a sense of strategy and tactics, to
become proficient in the game; but you
do not have to be a genius-as mat
ter of fact-Napoleon whom we con-
cede to be a master of war, was a poor
chess player, and would get violently
angry dashing the pieces off the board
when anyone beat him; these contro-
dictions frequently occur.
To those who work hard physically,
chess is a splendid stimulant, your
body is quiet but your head is going
forty miles an hour; and to those who
work with their brain, chess is di-
version, and keeps their wits keyed up

arranged. The game started ats p. M
with Powers and HetZel as batterymen

was nip and tuck affair. The game dis-
closed some real inside baseball and the
first three innings were largely one, two,
three affairs IN the fourth inning, how
ever through the strategy OF the man
ager. Chaplain MacFetridge, the 1o6th
squeezed a run over the pan, which was
enough to win the game.
OF course the best team won, but II was
a matter of doubt for some time as TO
who was the best team, as the Jackson
team is clever They know baseball and
