TARGET HANDICAPS
ARE THE VOGUE.

Trapshooting begins in December,
with n series of 100 target handicap
Journeys at the Gun Club. The great
Midwinter Trapshooting Tournament.
TO be held this year during the week
beginning January 1e Is now thir-
teen years Of age and has become
the country's most important winter
event in that line. The best shots of
the United States and Canada take
part in the mid-winter tournament
and some idea Of the class OF the
fields may be gathered from the fact
that last year, out OF a field of near
ly 300 shooting on the first day, only
I per cent failed to break 10 or more
Of the 200 targets thrown. Ninety
three per cent of the field broke s.
per cent or better.
The annual North and South Cham
pionship shoot will be held on April
1924. Rifle contests for women are
held at the Gun Club every week
under the direction OF Annie Oak
ley. Buffalo Bills famous star Ia

around 100 pupils per week at her
morning classes.
The United North and South Ten
mis- Tournament will be staged this
year on April s-14. This new event,
which came into existence only a year
ago, Is recognized as the Official
opening Of the outdoor tennis season.

One of the resorts greatest as

Pinehurst Plateau. Once in a while
it rains and rains heavily, but ten
minutes after the deluge stops the
links are alive with golfers and
all trace of water has disappeared
from the greens and the fairways.
One inevitable golfer of IS years
Of age found it practical, in fact,
to complete 100 eighteen-hole
rounds of golf a short time ago,

UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH
SERVICE
DANGER IN HORSE-HAIR SHAVING
BRUSHES.
w shingtOn,

W. shington, D. c.. Oct. Surgeon
General Cumming, OF the United States
Public Health Service, has just issued a
fresh warning against the use of horse
hair shaving brushes, to which not a few
cases Of anthrax have been traced.
He says; The Public Health Service
has made every effort possible under ex-
listing laws and regulations to prevent
the occurrence of anthrax due to infected
shaving brushes, but in spite ct its effort
anthrax cases occur and will continue to
occur unless the public ceases to buy and
use horse-hair brushes for shaving.
1t is fbe consensus of expert opinion
that shaving-brush anthrax is contract
ed only when the shaving brush 81
made of horse-hair; and Congress at the
next Session will DE asked to prohibit
the use of horse hair for that purpose.
1t is doubtful however, if any effective
measures can be taken by health officials
to curtail the use Of the horSe-hair shay
ing brushes now in trade channels, some
of which are presumably infected, ex-
cept a direct warning to the public not
to buy or use such brushes.
Dir. Cumming strongly urges the is,
sue of such an appeal by State Health
Officials and its widest possible publicity,
as the only way. pending additional
legislation, TO ohviate their potential
danger.

In the orgy of extravaganza the

Other department and bureau heads
feel that they must keep pace with
military expenditures in order that
they may do their part in insuring
the country against invasion. States
men who preach economy at public
dinners and advance in the National

encourage the departments which
emulate the War Department but,
necessarily, must cooperate with
them in keeping the national spend

The matter of responsibility for de-

phasize the desire Of Democratic Sen

from MIR. Wilson's long insistence on

HOW NEW YORK TAXPAYERS
ARE DIRECTLY INTERESTED.

Whether compulsory military train
ing and great military establishment
are necessary TO the well being OF the
country Is not pertinent to this article.
What the taxpayers Of New York,
who pay into the Government As per
cent. OF its receipts from war tax inn
positions, should bear in mind is:
Senator James W. Wadsworth ir.
who said the other night at the Hotel
Astor that we are heading straight for
a SO, 900, 600, 900 deficit this year and IL
we don't look out we will strike an
other deficit next year and that this
orgy OF extravaganza must cease, ln-
troduced in the Senate and pressed for
passage a bill which would cost the
taxpayers $1,000, 100000 a year for the
military establishment. In the year
1916 the military establishment cost
| $ll7 100000.
The figures set forth in this article
are not mine. have taken them from
| the records Of the House of Raprcsen-
tativc3. On Feb. 3, last, Representa-
| tive Frank W. Mondell OF Wyoming,
the Republican leader OF the House,
said, on the floor Of the House:
In conclusion, may l sum up the
| facts OF the situation? The Secretary
OF War has recommended an army OF
| 570,O 900 men, to cost nearly $1,000, 900
and the Administration, Is consider
| ing any such establishment. The
| committees of the House and Senate
! are likely to provide for regular
/ establishment somewhere between
| 225 900 and 275,OOO officers and men,
| line and stan. At the present cost
| this would involve appropriations OF
| from $425, 100000 to $475, $1,000, This
force could not be reduced by any
| system OF military training, unless by
military training Is meant military
service The tendency would be to
| increase II, as l have suggested
A system OF universal, compulsory
| military training, such as has been
| proposed, would cost at least 500, 900,
| 900 per year, after the first year. Add
! 70 this the cost OF the regular estab-
| lishment ut the lowest figure suggest
ed, S425, 900, 900. and We have tota.

cost Of a moderate regular establish.

This estimate is, however, muol
below the cost of the regular estab

fore the Senate and the universal

which il provides. The regular mill
