Besides making the world safe for
democrats" as a wit put it not so
long ago. the last few years have
made trapShoounS safe for democ-
racy."
The only Glass" that is recognized
in the trapshooting world is that of
skill and good craftsmanship.
The toughest neck that has ever
bowed to manners is yoked after a
few sessions at the traps, but the har-
ness is that of fair play and camara-
derie. There are clubs and clubs for
rich and poor, and every community
OF consequence has at least one trap
shooting club.
The old and for years persistent
fauacy that traDshootirg was an ex-
elusive sport has been almost aban-
doned. Trapshooting is Il sport that
fits men to better meet their obliga-
tions as citizens. 1t develops a
quickness of eye. steadiness of
nerve and the power to concentrate.
These characteristics, together with a
thorough knowledge of firearms make
for better men.
municipalities are recognizing these
facts and no less than a dozen cities
have installed traps in the public
parks. In these places. too. capable
INSTRUCTORS are engaged ana any one
can learn TO shoot at any time
Thousands Of persons frequent the
traps in Lincoln and Washington
Parks, Chicago, every year. The gun
clubs of Spokane have traps in the
stadium, which is located in the heart
of the city. But a short time ago the
Utica (N. " Gun club erected u
club house and traps in Roscoe Conk
ling Park. The shooting grounds are
close to the business district.
AS city and state executives come
to realize the value Of the shotgun in
our lives, how it benefits the youth
and makes for better citizenship and
prepares for perpetual peace, there
will be additional traps in the public
parks of the United States and Cana
