TRAP GUNa@. ROD
. BY ~- TOM MARSHALL

Mills has edited a number of books on National Parks. wild animals, and many other interesting subjects; is authority on beaver and their habitats. He has been a beaver protective ad- yocate, until finally Colorado solons passed bill for beavers perpetual pro- tection in that state.
 In stream within thirty feet of his residence, colony of beaver were at work constructing their home in the center of a completed dam. The water had been backed up, furnishing an ex- cellent channel for freighting their winter food, consisting of butt cuts. assorted length and size of white bodied quaken aspen trees. They cut the timber up stream, floating it down to a pool directly adjacent to their home and accessible from bottom Of the stream. This, their winter store house or cold storage conservation warehouse. Beaver are not members of the 'hand to mouth club of the wild. Their average length of forty inches, weight approximately forty five pounds. with flat scaled tail or trowel ten inches long and four wide; a set of twenty teeth, eight molars and two incisors above and below. The four curved front teeth, utilized as working tools, are very large, strong, orange color and self sharpening. Their most acute senses are scent and hear ing. which they depend upon for safety Weight and strength enable them to roll heavy logs a very considerable distance. Four-inch trees are their usual cut, although they have been known to fall trees forty-two inches

in diameter. When cutting, beaver sit upright, paws against tree, addi- tionally supported by their broad tail. Their natural enemies are lynx, coyote, wolf. hear. snakes and mountain lion. Domestic and home loving, they avoid fighting. They mate for life; are kind and affectionate parents Father is always invited to leave at period of accouchement, April being the accepted time.
 Americas beaver population was at one time estimated at one hundred million. Values of fur materially fluc- tuated. The Hudson Bay Fur company, chartered in 1869, compelled the Indians to heap beaver pelts the height of stock and barrel of an old flint gun, as equitable exchange. Many extensive fortunes were amassed through this skin game. Beaver are in their ele- ment amidstream, ashore they are helpless as children. 4 necessary depth of water, enabling them to move in safety or float their food supply of ashen logs, is regulated by height of their dams, which are utilized as wilderness highways or bridges across streams for predatory animals. When ready to fall a tree, an alarm signal is sounded, a short sharp whistle ac- companied by ground beating with tail. This occasions a general scamper. Beaver slides made going from or coming to their homes, are interesting toboggans.
 Being vegetarians, fish remain un- disturbed. gathering in numbers around the homes, feeding upon bugs and worms elected from wood. Fish life is saved by unusual depth of water above dams, when ice on streams is frozen to the bottom
 Floods are averted by retarding rapid currents and reduction of volume dur ing freshets by series of dams. Per petual protection is absolutely correct. A live beaver colony in the wilds gives touch of romance, a semblance of home life, picturesque appearance to the great outdoors. Their work rivals mankind. They were Americas first civil engineers, tree cutters, freighterS. house builders, canal dredgers subway diggers dam constructors opponents of beaver psychology and reasoning pow CTS, in the construction of good roads and deep open waterways. They be- long to no union, work overtime with out time and one-half pay. Their work spells efficiency and productive ability regardless of hours.

MARSHALL'S ANSWERS
 TO NIMR ops

Question: It is my intention to Joln a gun club and learn to shoot targets. What sized gun would you advise me to purchase and what would be my best load? Trapshooting is unques- tionably becoming most popular and want to learn Marion M Miller, Chicago
 Answer: The logical move for you to make as a beginner, is to consult some man, professional or amateur, who has successfully followed the sport, who will aid you by good ad- vice, in the selection of your gun, which is one of the necessary requisits. They will unauestionably recommend a 12 gauge gun as they are exclusively used in trap work, a smaller gauge would be a handicap, you could not overcome in target shooting The gun must fit you or you-,would be working under an additional handicap. Ihe Lincoln Park Gun club of Chicago em- ploy that veteran trapshot Pop Helkes as an instructor; no charge will ever be made, unless you secure the ser vices of a special advisor. The most popular load for target crushing Is 5
 drams of bulk of "A grains of dense powder and 31a ounces of 1s chilled shot. Instruction coupled with ob- servation and intelligent practice, will soon have you in the running. In the first stages of your work, learn to shoot with both eyes open. concen- trate on every target thrown. In tense practice. reasoning from cause to effect. is much more benetciaI than excessive practice, where a great number of loads fired. is the objective. Watch the men who have been in the game and become successful artists with the scattergun. Avoid the freak ideas of shooting fans which are fal- lacies and will only create habits which you will be compelled to correct later Any good gun club in any town or city, have experts who will gladly aid and counsel you. Shooters are made. not born, as many assert. It is practice along sensible lines which eventually perfects you in the art Of shooting. One of our best shots in the professional ranks at this Writing, failed as a beginner to break ONE tar get in the first hundred attempts. When he grasped the idea. 1t became easy sailing.

Beaver are prognosticators. They are accredited weather prophets and should justly occupy a chair on the national weather bureau. They were our first civil engineers and originated conservation. Beavers are endowed with the same naturalization found in the human family.
 On a recent trip to Estes Park, Colo rado, it was my privilege to meet in his home and visit with J. Enos Mills, scientist and student from boyhood days. Raised in the open, his home is located at the foot of Longs peak, tow ering into the clouds with an altitude of 14.258 feet. Every environment has invited the study of bird. animal and plant life. Ever reasoning from cause to effect, he champions the cause of wild life against encroachment of trapper and hunter, making many per aonal enemies for himself of men who considered game and fur bearing anil mals from a commercial angle, killing and capturing everything available, without considering the laws of repro duction, J. Enos Mills is known as The Father of Rocky Mountain Ma tional Park" in the heart of the Rockies. With bulldog tenacity he camped at congressional doors until an act was passed in 1915 setting apart ihIs section as national park. Mr

but the manager saw the clothes and the jewels and the limousine.
 Just what we want for our new pie ture," he announced Sign her up-"
 A few days later milady returned and went to work For two days the di- rector struggled and fussed and fumed, and the camera man shot yards and yards of film, and the regular members of the company stood around while the picture play was being pushed slowly forward

CLOTHES DIDN'T MAKE ACTRESS

Movie actresses are giggling with glee and gurgling "Goody! Goody!" over a story floating around Broadway these evenings. It has to do with the general objection of the professionals" to the amateurs" who are invading the picture field and taking the lobster and truffles out of their hungry mouths.
 According to the story, a limousine recently stopped in front of one of the big picture studios. A liveried chauf- feur opened the door and stood at at tention as milady descended from the car and asked her way to the casting department. She was bundled up in furs and the gown and jewels she wore talked glibly of prosperity and divi- dends.
 The visitor was received with defer ence. No, sshe had never had any ex perience. but she was quite sure she could act before the camera; it wasn't so much the money she wanted as the fun of it. The casting director was doubtful and advised her to call again

SUMMER CHURCH

The Presbyterian church has made
an unusual annex to their building.
On the west side of the church they
have constructed platform large
enough for pulpit and choir stand
and in front of this have placed COM
Portable benches to accommodate a
congregation of over 200. 1t is their
intention to hold the evening services
outdoors in the cool air during the hot
summer months. Last night was a
good night to start this practice for
the day had been very hot and eve
ryone was worn out with the heat.
There was quite nice congregation
at the open air services last night,
and all were cool and comfortable
during the service. The service was
begun before dark last evening be-
cause there had not been any lights
provided as yet, but by next week the
lights will be in place and the meet
ing will be at the regular hour, eight
O'Clock. Quite little annoyance was
experienced last evening because of
the noise cars made in going up and
down Fort King avenue, but it is ex-
pected the people will be more quiet
in passing the corner when they
learn they are disturbing the people
inthe congregation.

AIKELANES WILL BE USED
AGAINST BATTLESHIPS

Washington, May 30.-Four marine
corps Martin bombing planes will be
used to test the ability of land planes
to bomb warships in the problem
against the radio controlled battle
ship Iowa off the Virginia capes June
%, the navy department announces,
after the war department had served
notice that no army land type air
planes would participate in the prob
lem.
The army. however, will use seven
seaplanes and four airplanes in the
experiment, it was said. Decision to
withdraw its land planes was reached,
it is understood, because the war de-
partment did not consider it advisable
to use them, unless the Iowa was
within 80 miles of shore. Naval MEM
bers of the joint army-navy commit
tee in charge of the experiments, on
the other hand, are said to hold that
the tests to be of any value should be
conducted at least sixty miles from
the coast.
The Iowa test was originally de-
signed to develop the ability of land
planes to seek out and bomb an en-
envy fleet off the coast as a result of
testimony of Brigadier General Will
lam Mitchell, director of training and
operations of the army air service, be-
fore congressional committees to the
effect that the ability of the airplanes
to seek out and destroy an enemy fleet
was rapidly making the battleships
obsolete.
Under the conditions of the prob
lem the Iowa, controlled by radio
from the battleship Ohio, five or six
miles distant, will be somewhere be-
tween Capes Hatteras and Henlopen,
from SO to 100 miles off shore and
steaming toward land when the air
forces will be sent to bomb her.
Some of the details of the mechan-
ism by which the Iowa is controlled
by radio were made public by the navy
department. The apparatus, the an
nouncement said, consists of stand
ard radio transmitter aboard the con-
troll ship and receiving aerial on the
Iowa with special radio receivers, am
plifers and relays for converting the
radio signals from the Ohio into a
form that will control the Iowa's
steering gear, engine throttle and
fuel oil valves. The officer in charge
of the Iowa. stationed on the bridge of
the Ohio, will have absolute charge
of the controlled ship which will have
no one on board.
By means of gyroscopic compass
the Iowa may be set on a given course
and by special radio signal the YES
sci may be brought to dead stop.
The control system, which is dis
tinctively American, it is said. can
be shifted to aircraft, allowing the
vessel controlled to be Unanswered
from any height in the air either
from airplanes or dirigibles.
