ernoon of witnessing an exhibition by
the worlds greatest rife and trapshoot-

will demonstrate their shooting ability at
the annual encampment Of the Veterans

Congress Heights.
The couple has been exhibiting at At

they have covered q, 600 miles yearly
for seventeen years. and have shot In
every state in the Union and each OF
the Canadian provinces.
1t is doubtful if there is a better trap
shot in the world than Mrs. Topperwein,
and with rife she doffs her hat to no
one except her husband
Born in San Antonio. Tex, Mrs. Top
perwein never raised a rifle until mar
ried, and only took to the profession be-
cause her husband was an expert and
she wanted to do things he could do and
be with him. Her first public appear
where, with a Winchester automatic
rifle she hit 967 out of 1000 2h-inch
flying targets. thrown 20 feet, and later
in the tournament hit 1895 targets out
of 1000. making a straight run of 1,437.
Her advent in trapshooting at the same
tournament was equally as brilliant, for
she was high gun over all the shooters
and had long run of 226. From that
day to this Mrs. Topperwein has been
proving that women can be as capable
with firearms as men. She is the lone
professional woman trapshooter in this
country.
Topperwein performs with the rifle
and does a hundred and one things that
many people believe impossible.
The Topperweins are members of
the Winchester shooting team, on
which will be found some of the best
shooters in the world. squad COM

Virgil Richard will perform with the
small-bore rifle.
The exhibition, which starts at $50,
will be free. and the public is invited
to attend.
Many Washington trapshooters have
cleaned their guns and are ready for
the Westy Hogan meeting, which
opens at Atlantic City Wednesday
The shoot lasts three days and is
the banner event of the year to de-
voices of the sport in this section

accomplishment of a task of in
credible magnitude.
Aside from the fact that it is a
graphic version of "Wapi, the Wal

God Housekeeping Magazine not

having been made farther north
than any other picture in the
history of the screen. All of the
snow scenes were taken on the far
shore of Lesser Lake, north of the
seth parallel.
Frequently the temperature
was fifty degrees below zero and
it was as cold as sixty degrees be-
low the freezing mark. In this
frigid temperature it was found
necessary to draw all oil from
the cameras before they could be
operated.
A matter of scientific interest
is the fact that in this far north
ern latitude, over 10000 feet of
film were shot without a single
foot of static. This remarkable
result was achieved, undoubtedly,
