Whlch Earl Norcross and others OF
.ne company have constructed. The
tires have been removed from the
front wheels and the rims have been
Htted INTO wooden runners. On the
rear wheels have been attached spe-
ctaily constructed rims, which extend
outward from the rims. THESE extra
rims are very practical, when the
wheeis get into the deep snow, as
they lessen the possibility of sinking
IN and getting stuck. The teeth"
on the extra rims aid some in the
purchasing power of the rear wheels.

speaking of the possibilities of the

World Rifle Record
By First Battalion of 25th
U. S. Infantry-Every
Man Qualified as Ex-
pert Shots

Douglas, Ariz., June 80, 1923.-A
worlds record in rifle fire was made
by the first battalion of the 25th in
fantry stationed at Camp Harry j.
Jones in the course of target work
completed yesterday, according to Ma
jor Harry ]. Castles, commander of
the post, who personally supervised
the work on the range. Every man
in the three rifle companies of the
battalion, numbering about 800, quail
fled as marksmen or better, which so
far as records available at the post
here show, has never been equaled in
the history of the United States army.
Corporal Jesse ]. Williams of b..
Company made the highest record of
the battalion which is also the high
est in the regiment, making a score of
321 out of a possible $50. Il company
made the highest average, running up
a mark of over 291, its rank number
ing 40 expert riflemen, the highest
grade attalnable, and 30 sharp
shooters.
The average for the entire battalion,
according to Major Castles, will run
between 2S5 and 300, which is well
above the sharpshooter mark OF 20.

Did Stanley Welcome
Ku Klux to Hospital
Grounds at Tuske-
gee?

Colonel r. II. Stanley, the white
head of the hospital for disabled Ne
gro veterans at Tuskegee, Ala, is re-
ported to have notified the colored
nurses at the hospital that he does
not wish them to have any contact
whatever with the colored people of
Tuszegee Institution. These nurses
have absolutely no recreation or social
outlet as a result of Stanley's an
nouncement and their position is be-
coming more and more trying every
day.
On Tuesday night, July 8, after the
Ku Klux Klan had paraded, several
cars of hooded figures went to the
hospital and apparently there had been
instructions to the guards to let them
pass, as the hooded figures were sa-
luted by the guards, the ropes taken
down and they were permitted to en-
ter upon the reservation ana go
through certain of the buildings there
in search of Calhoun, the colored man
who had put up a wonderful fight for
his position mt the hospital.
The colored nurses were not dis
turbed by the Klansmen, but they WERE
of course, in state of intense excite
ment when they found that they were
thus exposed and unprotected.
