LIFE SIZE TARGET OF RUN
MING DEER MAKES INTER
ESTING CONTEST.

OUANTICO, Va.-The American
Olympic Rifle Team Squad in train
ing here at the Marine Corps Rife
Range is practicing daily over the
Olympic course, which also includes
the running deer event.
This is very interesting contest.
A life-size target OF running deer i'll
natural colors appears suddenly from
behind camoufage of trees 100 yards
distant from the shooters and travels
distance Of perhaps Is yards, when
it again disappears from sight behind
another camoufage of trees. In this
short interval of time when the deer is
in sight. which is perhaps but five sec
onds the shooter fires one shot IN the
singles and two in the doubles. On
each deer there are scoring rings
which give an accurate valuation OF
the skill OF the shooters.
All of the members OF the Olympic
team are shooting the regulation army
rife and Remington 80 caliber Spring
field Hi-Speed ammunition This is the
Standard Remington commercial car
fridge regularly used for deer and 9th
er game animals and is known as the
fastest cartridge in the world because
it develops a speed Of $500 feet per
second.
The selection Of Remington Hi
Speed game cartridges for the use OF
the Olympic Rife team in the run
ming deer events is due to the fact
that owing to its high speed the com
petitors can sight directly on the tar
get instead of holding two or three
feet in front OF the deer, which has
been the custom in the past because
OF the slower speed bullets.

Velvet Hats Have Already
Appeared in Washington
Femininity Observes Hot Weather by
Downing Mid-W Winter Headgear.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The hot
test days of summer were the signal
of contrary femininity to celebrate
them by wearing their first fall hats
of velvet felt and corded silk trimm-
ed. in many cases, with fur.
Every woman feels more confident
in a new hat, and so it was but nat
ural that the women politicians who
attended the notification exercises OF
Tohn w. Davis, at Clarksburg, and
Calvin Coolidge, at Washington,
should wear new hats as well as their
best bibs and fuckers
The death of the cloche, the popu-
lar small hat which endured through
summer rains and winter SHOWS for
several seasons, marks the advent OF
the new directoire hat high and
square of crown, small of brim and
tailored of trimming. OF course, there
are some women who are advocating
the hat with the dropping brim, mar
row at the front and back. The small
hat will always be popular for tailor
ed wear, and, while the new direc-
toire toques or turbans are not as be-
coming, perhaps, as the cloche, they
are very smart, and will be included
in the hat closets OF all well dressed
women for the fall.
Many of the brims OF the small di-
rectoire hats turn sharply up at the
back. where they are finished with
camelias dyed the same shade as the
velvet. or are white or black. Some
of the hats are trimmed with two bird
heads or small tips at the side, while
others are decorated simply with the
new large concentric circle pin which

Georgia Depends Largely on Pack
ing Houses for Supply, Report
Says. Would Require 1928
Cars to Haul Georgia's Meat.

Stressing the necessity OF producing
Georgia's own meat it is pointed
out that total OF 3O,164,846 pounds
OF dry salt meat, 5O15667 pounds
of sugar CURED smoked meat
and 4128.74O pounds OF dry salt
smoked meat, making a grand total
OF 39,30o.263 pounds OF side meat
were shipped into this state during
1923 by packing companies, according
to the report of State Veterinarian Dr
Peter F. Bahnsen.
According to DR.. Bahnsen this
shows that Georgia has depended to
a large extent for our meat supply on
packing house products.
Further data compiled by the state
veterinarian shows that converted in
TO 15O-pound hogs. and assuming
the side meat to average Il per cent
OF each hog, it required ,l85,846
hogs weighing $50 pounds each to
supply this part OF our meat bill. 1T
would require each OF our 100 cou-
ties in the state to produce an add
tional 1860 hogs in order to place
Georgia ION a self-sustaining basis Tor
side meat alone" says the report OF
DR. Bahnsep.
80 Hogs Per Car.
Pointing out the expense in trans
porting these hogs to market the re
port shows that, estimated on the
basis Of eighty hogs per car, 1t re
quired 27,298 cars to haul these hogs
to the packing houses. Calculated on
a basis OF twenty cars to a train load,
it required 1905 solid loads OF hogs
TO supply the side meat for Georgia 5
meat bill for 1928"
In the face of these facts, con
cluded the report 1T seems useless
for Georgia farmers to complain that
there IS no market for their hogs,
since very large percentage OF the
dry salt meat is consumed IN rural
communities And yet in spite OF this
fact. there are fewer hogs on Georgia
farms today than there have been for
MANY years. In my judgment, our
meat bill for 1924 will be materially
larger than in any previous year IN
our experience.
Production Is Problem.
Stimulating meat production in the
state OF Georgia is not only a prob
lem Tor the farmer; it is business
problem in which the bankers and
every one in cities and town as well
as the country is vitality interested.
Several million dollars are annually
transferred to the central and north
western states for these products,
when, by proper organization, we
could easily and probably produce
these products at home, thus adding
