Nations Fate May

Shooting Of Citizens

Our rational integrity may depend
upon how fast and how straight our
citizens can shoot. says the leading
editorial in farms and Man" in a re-
cent issue.
This magazine is published to keep
up interest in shooting and II says
that marksmanship legislation should
pass. The forthcoming matches at
Caldwell, N. j., in which New Mexico
With other states will be represented,
again calls powerfully to the attention
of the nation that a few Civilians are
frequently aiming at the bulls eye to
improve their own Workmanship and
to encourage Others to become pro
ficient with the rifle.
THE practice of civilian clubs"
Arms and Man says, has been stand
ardized for years under the regula-
tons Of the national board for the
promoticn of rifle practice and the N.
a.. r. that in the army while conform
ing with the small arms firing regula-
tons has not been carried out under
