 In passing it is well to mention the fact that Canadian shooters will not be eligible to shoot on the American team to the Olympic games in 1920. Canada in all forms of athletics in the Olympic games must compete under the British flag, so that if the English men are wise they will select an en- tire Canadian trapshooting team and be in the running for the Olympic championship.

Wetzig in the Minks' shoot, in O1aha. It is only a question of time when the Atlantic City trapshooting school, located on the Million Dollar Pier, will close up. The pier owners have raised the rent to such an extent that the continued promotion of trap shooting there is out of the question. This is the only school of it's kind in 1 the world and the closing will be a 1 loss to Atlantic City as well as to , those who enjoyed shooting from the pier.

For the purpose OF properly handling
the rapidly increasing number Of chill
dren from i6 TO 2i years OF age who are
seeking employment, two special depart
ments-one for boys and the other for
glrls-will shortly be opened by the
United States Employment Service at
Sixth and King streets.
Each Of these departments will be in
charge Of a specialist in that line. whose
duty It will be to obtain not only some
knowledge Of the fitness and need Of the
child for work. but also Of the job for
which juvenile labor is TO be used.
Too often children are engaged in
work for which they are physically un-
flt, and where the surroundings are not
conducive TO health. II Is planned 30
make these new departments not only
a help 20 the employer but also a means
for providing work for the needy youth
with an opportunity for mental advance
ment.
As the establishment OF these two new
departments would crowd the present

Leading Characters in
Real Life Tragedy
MAN ACCUSED OF
THEFT OF CANINE

"Doo" was only dog Of the mongrel
species at that, but he loved his mas
ter and in return was petted and feast
ed by the man who admitted that he
stole the animal several months ago.
The stern hand Of Justice separated
them and then, well both cried, the dog
and the man. Even the score or more
police officers at the police station,
who are more or less hardened 10 the
ways OF the world, were touched and
when Docs benefactor had left, they
petted the canine which whined for
the friend he had lost.
Luther Ennis, young man fhO for
merly lived at No. SOC Lombard street,
was Docs friend, he claiming to have
owned the animal for the past year.
When Ennis left OOatesville. Pa. yes

animals collar, Ennis saw him placed
on the train and then settled back In
seat himself to contemplate finding
employment here where he could live
with his dog. Walter Kraft, OF the
Pennsylvania town, who had raised the
animal until Ennis appeared on the
scene and attracted the dog several
months ago, objected TO Doc leaving,
and when bhe train left C0atesyille he
made complaint.
Special officer William Weldin early
last night received a teleg am from
Coatesville stating that Ennis was
wanted there on a charge OF stealing
the dog and 0flcer Weldin hurried 10
King street station and arrested Ennis
as he stepped from the train. Doc was
with him. Both man and beast were
taken 10 the police station, where, af-
ter Ennis had decided that Doc should
return TO his rightful owner, Ennis
was allowed TO go free.
When the time for the parting ar
rived, Doc followed Ennis and when
Ennis left the police station brushing
away a tear or two, Doc gave way 10
his feelings. too. The dog whined and
vhined his sorrow.

PARIS, Jan. 29.-President Wilson

SOL Ms LCOK into
COUkTYASSESSMENT
Some Rural Members OBJ
ject to Paying on
q Real Value
BILL INTRODUCED
TO Ri EAL TIE LAW

Several members OF the Legislature
on arriving in Wilmington yesterday
afternoon visited the county board OF
assessment and went over some figures
relative TO the increased assessment un-
der the law passed two years ago
creating the county board OF assess
ment.
Those in the party were Senator'S
GOrmley and Richards and Representa-
tives McNabb, Murine and Mulvena.
A bill has been introduced in the
House TO repeal the law creating the
board under which property in the
rural districts, was assessed at some
where near its real value for the first
time in the history OF the State.
There is much opposition TO the law
by rural members evidently because OF
the fact that the rural assessment was
increased even though Wilmington
properties are assessed at full value.
Persons who have studied the taxation
and assessment question for years CON
tend that this Is one Of the best laws
passed by the Delaware Legislature for
many years and that IL would be a great
mistake to repeal It.
It Is pointed out that the owners OF
most extensive real estate holdings in
rural New Castle county, particularly
those owning estates In Brandywino
and Christiana hundred, accepted the
assessed valuation made by the board
without protest after they were shown
that all other land owners were beinc
treated alike in the new assessment.
The objection, it seems, is coming from
some Of the owners OF small farms who
do not like their property being assess
ed higher than in the past, even
though they would not sell their lands
at a price within several thousand dol
lars Of the assessment
