Fine Gun Work

Fred Tomlin, of the DUPONT Gun
Club, gave a rare exhibition of marks
manship again last week at the mid
week target shoot of the Quaker City
Gun Club at Maple Grove, Pa. Fred
turned in the best actual score, 81 in
the century event. This was four bet
ter than Horace Lodge, his nearest
rival. The achievement of breaking
81 was not Fred's best. His best work
with the scatter-shot weapon was that
he copied the opening fifty test with
a perfect run of fifty. 1t takes a
mighty swell gunner to bust over 95
per cent of his birds, but Tomlin beat
that mark by two per cent in the CEN
fury test. Tomlin's fifty straight in
the opening number was no flash in
the pan. On Wednesday, March 3rd,
Tomlin broke a similar number and at
the Clearview traps at Darby a few
days ago, showed his is no counter
by also running fifty in a row. On
the whole program of 100 targets at
the mid-week shoot, Tomlin ran all
told, 81 before he missed a target. His
55th got away. In the same event
he lost three. After that he frightened
up and came through with another 25
with another clean bill.

Powder Mill Shrinkage

In another column will be seen that
the taxable valuation of Upper Penns
Neck has shrunk $8,403 1858 on the as
SCISSORS books. That has been taken
off the Powder works. The tax rate
has jumped from SLIP to 1928.
The loss has been taken from the
Powder Mills which are being dis
mantled.
The two boilers have been taken
from Plant 8, the four from Plant 2
and about a dozen from Plant 1.
About 6 or 7 boilers remain at Plant
l on Carneys Point. Some of the
smoke stacks have been taken down
from the Plants. One has been taken
down at Plant 3 and the stays have
been taken, from n at Plant 2.
Much of the pipe and machinery has
been sold and shipped to different
parts of the country. For some of the
material as much and in cases more
has been received than the cost when
erected.
A new kind of powder is being made
at Plant l, called white smoke" pow
der. A great success and big demand
is predicted for it.
Work has been very slack in some
departments at Deep Water Dye
Works, and some of the ablest men
have been carried thru the winter to
meet the increased work expected
soon.

The way to all things at Chilling lies
the moon door on the way to wisdom
pass and repass, every day the 70
Chinese maidens of the 'gung-gwan."
The moon door at Chilling is round
as the full moon whence 1t has its
name. And the Chinese maiden, as
she steps Owe its high sill, may spread
wide her arms and still not touch Its
rim with the tips of her fingers.
Some times across the court yard is
another moon door, and beyond it, like
a smaller c%oncentric circle, still an
other, leading on through that Chinese
puzzle Of a house, the "g~ung-gwan' or
official residence at Marking, China,
which Is now the home of Chilling Col
iege for Chinese girls-one of the three
women's colleges in all China.
The moon door Is but a single fea-
ture of the old place. Once inside the
high stone walls that enclose it one is
lost in a maze of courts and galleries
and covered passages and isolated
rooms.
The whole is China, old China and
new. The moon doors and the archi-
lecture as a whole lend the dignity and
the greatness Of old China. But the
laboratories and dormitories, Libraries
and studies made from the old rooms
of state and ceremony are modern,
just as the spirit of the Chinese girls
who use them is modern just as the
force Of America is behind it all, rep
resented by the five American mission
airy organizations and the American
Smith College which maintain Chilling,
is modern.

and enters a chemical laboratory set
up In a room with 20 windows, each
framed in dragon tracery. And from
the f%lagstones of the laboratory floor
often is scraped fungi and mould for

These are typical contrasts of Gin
ling College, revealed through the
survey of the Chinese field now being
made by the Interchurch World
Movement, which seeks to promote the
closer cooperation of Protestant
Churches of America in attaining their
world aims.
Ginning College the survey shows, Is
at the heart of five Chinese provinces
with n total population of ITO, 0 1000
and Is the only woman's college in that
great area. Yet its capacity to receive
young Chinese girls is limited by the
capacity of the old "gung-gwan," rent
ed since the beginning of the institu-
ton, four years ago.
Fund of $500, 900
Ginning owns 81 acres of land on
the hills beside the Yangtze river. In

vey of China, there is a budget item
Of $4,000 1t is there to show the
Churches of America how they can place
upon that land on the hill the library,
administration building, recitation
buildings, chapel-all that are needed
for a modern college. Unless the fund
is available by 1921, many young wo-
men Of China seeking college educa-
tons must be denied admission to
Chilling, because the old 'gung-gwan"
Is too small.

MUCH INTEREST IN NEW LEAGUE
 OF BALL TEAMS

SEATTLE, April 13 (by Associated Press).-Six clubs, representing Ia coma, Spokane, Seattle, Yakima, Vic tOria and Vancouver, B. C., are being whipped into shape for the opening games May of the new Pacific Inter- national Baseball League, a Class B organization which has taken the ter ritory of the old Northwest League.
 Opening day will find Seattle at Yakima at Spokane. The schedule will run eighteen weeks, and will close Monday, September 5, Labor day.
 Determination to carry the league through the season, and not follow the example of the Northwest League, which suspended in mid-season, was expressed at a recent meeting of the officials. Each club has posted $1,000 guarantee in the league treasury that it will finish the season.
 This is not bush league, and we want the world to know it." declared Louis H. Burnett of Tacoma, president of the organization, recently. He de- c1ared that 1920 would be the great est baseball year in the history of the Pacific Northwest.
 All freak deliveries, with the excep- tion of the spitball, are to be barred by the leagues rules. Admission prices to the games will be 40 and 70 cents, with the club paying the war taxes.
 Most of the managers of the new league are veterans of the Pacific Coast and Northwest leagues. They are Cliff Blankenship, Spokane; Tea ley Raymond, Yakima; Robert Brown, Vancouver; Dave Hillyard, Seattle; Bobby Vaughn, Tacoma, and Bill Leard, Victoria. Nearly all the play CTS are from organized leagues.
