TRAP F F1l
 and % M FIELD Ey

The rich who have time on their hands are on the trail of a new form of sports. although it may be said in its support that men of the aviation corps have a very good ar gument in it's favor as an aid to craftsmanship.
 This new sport is nothing more or less than hunting ducks by aero plane. the incentive. of course. be- ing the opportunity for wing shoot ing against double speed. That is. the machine is travelling at bird speed while the ducks are likewise doing record work.
 One of the army corps says:
 There could be no better practice for marksman ship than to hunt fast flying birds like wild ducks in air planes. The problem of maneouver- ing would be about the same e would be encountered in combat with hostile flyer. and hitting fly ick ducks from an airplane going ninety miles an hour would require a steady eye and hand"
 Do you think you would like to shoot ducks this way?
 Or do you prefer to stay on the ground?

MOHAMMEDAN WOMEN MUST COVER THEIR
 FACES AS OF TORE

PETROGRAD, Jan. 1.-The Mo hammedan Tartar men of Tschistopof district. province of Kazan, have or dered their wives and daughters to sew half a square foot of extra ma terial to the handkerchiefs with which they cover their heads. The women long ago ceased to veil; but when meeting upnknown men they took a tab of the bow formed by tying handkerchiefs beneath their chin. and held the tab before the place in place of veil. Unluckily as the handkerchiefs with the pass ing of time grew smaller. the tabs ceased to cover the face, iand the act became only a symbol. To make 1t again a reality husbands and fa- thers are insisting on bigger hand kerchiefs.

 Born in Mis-
 Souri.
INVENTOR WELL KNOWN

It is learned that Jeff Bowling is the man whose shell is supposed to have been sold to the German government, and is considered the most deadly agency of destruction used by the German government.
 As already stated, the model for this shell was made in Juneau and was placed on exhibition here. MT Bowling was born in Missouri and his parents arc said to be of Ger man descent.
 Several Alaskans who examined the invention of the Alaska mining man, and then read the description of the shell being used by the Ger mans, are certain that 1t was the one invented by MT. Bowling; or else it is practically counterpart.
 It is understood that MT. Bowling first tried to place the shell with the American government. In fact, about year ago a report was re- ceived in Alaska by those who had subscribed money to help push the invention, that the government had taken hold.
 Later developments. however, have shown the report to be in error. Later came the news after an in- vestigation by people who had sub scribed, that Mr. Bowling had met German Ambassador Counsul von Bernstorff in Washington and later had departed for Germany.
 In case he did make a deal with the German government for the shell. 1t is conceded that he was within his rights in 70 doing. since the

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN,

The campaign for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will begin September %
and close October 10. The result of
the loan will be watched with keen
interest in Europe, not only by our
associates in the war against the
Teutonic powers but by our enemies.
1t will be regarded by them as a
measure of the American peoples
support of the war.
The Germans know full we'll the
tremendous weight and significance
OF popular support of the war, of
the people at home backing up the
Army in the field. AS the loan sue
ceeds our enemies will sorrow; as it
falls short they will rejoice. Every
dollar subscribed will help and en-
courage the American soldiers and
hurt and depress the enemies of
America
The loan will be a test of the 10y
atty and willingness of the people of
the United States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness of our
soldiers to do their part. There must
be and will be no failure by the peo-
pie to measure up to the courage and
devotion of our men in Europe. Many
of them have given up their lives;
shall we at home withhold our money
Shall we spare our dollars while they
spare not their very lives?
