Shooting Contests
Stimulate Interest
In Actual Warfare

ALDERSHOT, Sept. 16.-The
complaint is made Of rifle shooting
competitions, not without reason,
that they afford little practice III
Workmanship under conditions that
approximate those of actual war
fare, and that proficiency in the
kind Of shooting that wins prizes is
not the sort Of shooting that is most
needed to win battles. To meet this
criticism the Company cup compe-
tition was devised.
The idea underlying this conlpeti.
ton is that an outpost of nine men,
under non-comrnissioned officer, Is
suddenly attacked by an equal num-
Der Of hostile force, represented by
nine 12-inch khaki discs, which ap-
pear over the top of trench 200
yards away.
The outpost opens fire and when
a disc Is hit it disappears. But more
Of the enemy is constantly arriving.
three more discs appearing every
ten seconds during the minute the
contest is being waged. When the
number Of discs in view exceeds
that Of the outpost, the whole team
is put out of action. The team with
the fewer number of discs exposed
at the end Of the minute wins. It
is a most interesting method Of COM
petition, and it has attracted a large
number of entries.

REC CORD BREAKING BUSINESS
ACTIVITY NOW IS In SIGHT
ECONOMY IN COAL
NEEDED IN HOME

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-While
the average household heating plant
is reliable, so far as the factor of
safety is concerned, this is not al
ways true in economy, says the
bureau Of engineering of the depart
ment of the interior, and in view Of
a possible coal shortage this winter,
the householder will have to be very
economical in it's use.
The engineering bureau has COM
piled a few facts on coal and its use,
to aid the public until coal returns to
normal production. The main point
of the bureaus paper is the need for
economy in burning coal.
It has been stated by good author
fly, the paper said, that 25 per cent
of the coal wasted in home heating
can be saved. The main point is
economy is cleanliness of the plant
as SCOT is an insulator against trans
ference Of heat and must be kept
out Of the furnace and pipes.
Soft coal demands greater care in
firing. In putting in fresh coal, it
should not cover all the burning
surface. It it does, the gases driven
off are not ignited and escape. If the
shape Of the firebox permits, fresh
coal should be placed over the front
Of the fire near the door, then as
the gases are driven off, they are
ignited over the bright rear surface
and add to the heat. Later, the
cooked coal is pushed to the back of
| the surface and fresh coal again
applied to the front. In the case Of
round heaters, 1t was said, spread
the coal on the lower side only and
/ the gases will be consumed by the
| heat on the other. The CRATES should
be left in a flat position, no part
protruding into the fire, the depart
ment says, the ash pit should be
kept clean, as ashes cut off the air
supply, which may cause the CRATES
to warp or burn out. A bed Of ashes
should be kept on top Of the CRATES
to prevent burning out, reducing it
| in size as the weather grows colder.
and should never be shaken until
live Goals fall out. There should be
a check draft-damper in the smoke
pipe Of hot air, steam or hot water
heating plants or kitchen ranges
beside the turn damper, to control
the heat at which the fuel burns il
to increase draft. All heat pipes in
the cellar should be covered to con
serve heat, and the use Of weather
strips, storm windows and storm
doors about the house will be valua

WATSON EXPLAINS
HIS BONUS VOTE
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
RV THEODORE TTTI,ER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Sen-
ator Thomas e. Watson today in the
senate stated his position on the
soldier bonus bill, which he sup
ported in the final form presented
yesterday to the senate when a roll
call was had on the conference re-
port.
When the. bill passed the senate
several weeks ago Senator Watson
announced his opposition to the
measure then under consideration.
Today Senator Watson saids "In
this mornings issue Of the. Wash.
ington Post appears the words: Wat
son, Georgia, switches to support
Of measure he raped In the body
of the article is sub headline: Wat
son, of Georgia, Changes Views
Senator Watson read from the news
paper article as follows: The sup
porters Of the bonus bill have gained
one vote on the showing of this roll
call, Senator Watson, Of Georgia,
who made speech against the bill
and opposed it when it was before
the senate, switched his position and
now voting for it. He made no expla.
nation, excepting that there were
some features of the bill he did not
like, but decided to vote for it any
way. His change Of position has been
discounted in the calculations Of the
required strength to sustain the an
ticipated veto.'"
Senator Watson said the record
failed to sustain the newspaper re-
port as he stated when he voted for
the conference report that while the
legislation was not all he desired for
the veterans he would support it.
Senator Watson said: when
voted against the soldiers bonus bill
there had already been voted out q
sales tax plan proposed by the sen
ator from Utah (Mr. Smoot), he him
self being one of the few who sup
ported the plan.
'There still was left in the bill
the McNary reclamation project
amendment, which, according to es
Inmates would have taken from the
treasury over 3O0,000,000 of public
money, and which would have af
forded the soldiers farms in the
west or in the south some time with
in the next five or ten years.
"I voted against the bill because
it had that clause in it. The bill, as
it was pending before the senate YES
terday, was the original McCumbei
bill, which gives the soldier a Ger
tificate of Indebtedness, which he
can use as collateral in the Dor
rowing Of money at IL per cent
! Therefore, thought that half g
loaf Of bread was better than nc
bread. I was assured by leaders or
both sides that this would be the
nr,lu bonus to mass this session"

CITY BALTIMORE"
TOTAL Loss
Captain Bingham Is Forced to
Abandon Schooner to Under
writer's After Disaster.

Captain F. F. Bingham was forced to
abandon his schooner, "City of Balti-
more" to the underwriters as a total loss
he reported on his return here from Will
mington, n. c.
The "City Of Baltimore" was partially
waterlogged and lost part of her cargo
in hurricane encountered on August 19
while the schooner was making it's regu-
lar trip from >Pensac cola to San Jose,
Porto Rico.
One of the power pumps was rendered
useless, this deck load was swept over
board and the schooner took on a large
quantity of water. The crew rugged up
what sails were available and finally put
in at Wilmington.
After an investigation Captain Bling
ham exonerates the captain and crew
from all blame and commends them on
the steps they took after the disaster.
Captain Bingham states that the 'City of
Baltimore was good ship and money
maker and everyone ha da real affection
for her" and that Captain Rice, the
crew and himself sincerely regretted
having to abandon the schooner.
