D. c. HEADS POWER
/. INCREASE OPPOSED
tPark View Citizens Declare
Proposed Measure Confers
Too Much Authority.

Objection to the bill to grant great
er powers to the District Commits
.sioners was voiced by the Park View
Citizens Association, meeting in the
Park View School last night. The
provisions are too broad and drastic
and confer wider authority on the
city heads than Is extended to mayors
and city councils of various large
cities, it was said. The committee
having the bill under consideration
was of the opinion that the Com
msSioners are already possessed of
most powers embodied in the meas
ure proposed. but are in fear of a
challenge in case they attempted to
exercise their authority. 1t was
voted to postpone definite action on
the measure.
The association moved to oppose
any effort of the Board of Education
to increase the schoolroom facilities
of the Park View School by the ad-
dition of a third story. 1t was
pointed out that this addition would
spell ruin for the prided platoon
system of the school. The associa-
fion had previously asked for the
purchase of ground to the rear of the
present building and the erection
there of additional rooms and re-
lterated it's stand.
AHey rs F1fe menace.
A blind alley between Morton and
Lamont and Warder and Sixth streets
was cited as fire menace and the
Commissioners will be urged to cut it
through, allowing two exits. Miss
Alice B. Williams addressed the meet
ing in the interest of the Red Cross
drive to be inaugurated November IL.
President Fred S. Walker announced
5that the special order of business for
the November meeting would be con-
sideration of the Federation of Citi-
zens Associations request that all
member organizations join in the Dis
tricts fight before Congress for full
representation in both houses of Con-
gress and the electoral college.

ASA PRATT
In Mcnlorialn

Mr. Pratt quietly passed to his eter-
nal home on December J. He died
in the house where he was born sew
ventyrsx years ago The Pratt farm
is located in Clinton on the east bank
of the Kennebec River two miles
south of the Hinckley bridge. His
father and grandfather were born and
lived on the same farm 1t is Iocat-
ed just across the river opposite Good
VIII Farm. Fifty-iye years ago last
April he married and he and his wife
united with the Baptist church by
baptism the following June.
Their church is located at the east
end of the Hinckley bridge For
many years this place was known as
Pishon's Ferry. For more than half
century Mr.. and Mrs. Pratt have
been active in the support of the
church and in advancing religious
causes. This church, more than one
hundred years ago became the moth
er Of the Skowhegan Baptist church,
For many years Mr. Pratt was the
clerk of the church. His life was
characterized by patience. industry
faithfulness and love of home and
and he was at the services the pre-
vious Sunday.
In the early days of the Good Will
Farm he was valuable helper of
Rev George W. Hinckley, the found
er. 1t was very fitting that Mr.
Hinckley should perform the rites of
respect and affection. His son Ern-
est Henry Pratt lives in Clinton near
the old home. A daughter, Ethel
Mac, is the wife of Rev Fred W.
Peakes of West Newton, Mass. where
he is the pastor of the Baptist church
Another daughter, Blanche Parkman
Pratt is the wife of the principal of
the Albany IN. " high school. Dur
ing all these years Mr. and Mrs. Pratt
have kept an open house for Baptist
ministers The record of their hos
pitality is o remarkable one. The
late Rev. Charles II. Spaulding, ID. d.
for many years Boston pastor and
New England secretary of the Ameri-
can Baptist Publication Society, en-
joyed the hospitality Of their home

The partridge or grouse offers

permissible but highly advisable if
you can do it.
Bob White, in the open field will

and before you let go, aim little

and certainty. Most of the misses
are due to low shooting and jumpy
nerves.
Snipe shooting on Warm sunny days
offers splendid sport. Do not fol-
low their movements by the line of
aim. Point under and snap ahead.
Duck shooting gives one full play for
his entire repertoire of shots. Plenty
of shells and plenty of birds on which
to exercise them will prove to be the
best teacher.
To be good wing shot, you must
be good judge. of distance. The
modern schools urge binocular shoot
ing; that is, with both eyes open.
If you are an old time shot and use
only one optic, do not change. 1t
will be no easy task If change you

left eye, line up your sights, then

How to Camp and Hunt
Crank Winch
ARTICLE V-THE SHOTGUN

ARTICLE N-IHE SHOIGUN
There's a simple answer to the
question eternal What is the best
all round shotgun IT doesn't
exist. Sportsmen are clan Of in
dividuals. What suits one would
never quite suit another and for pre-
cisely the same reason.
This is certain. Any good grade
of standard American make will full
fill the fondest wishes of the most
moticulous hunter, if he selects the
gun for a major purpose of use and
has it fit him properly.
Many believe that the 20 gauge is
better than the u gauge. There are
as many who believe infallibly in the
~. The writer has several of both,
The 20 is the sportier arm for upland
work and requires better holding. The
IL for ducks is standard and more
satisfactory. Where the owner is
limited to one gun, the II should be
the choice. There is no economy in
a cheap gun, it will shoot loose. the
triggers crawl and the locks stick.
The better grade aside from genuine
long lived service gives the owner that
intangible sense of pride in possess
ing something worth while.
Select a gun weighing about seven
and one quarter pounds this being Il
u gauge ThR20 is not general pur-
pose gun. A 20 should weigh "a
to pounds. A 16 should weigh 6
to IA pounds. The popularity of
the Is seems to be on the wane.
Length of barrels. 26 to 2S inches.
The fit of the gun is important
The correct drop in the stock will de-
termine the shooting satisfaction Of
the arm. Drop" means the distance
from the line of the top of the barrel
to certain points on top of the steel,
the Cant" is the rounded part Of
the stock just back of the right hand,
and the heel is the upper part Of
the butt plate. A drop of IL to
2 "a inches at the heel IS about
right for the average person. For
the benefit of those who care to be
more exact in securing gun that
has perfect fit the following is
appended. Make "A copy of it, send
to your sporting goods dealer or any
shooting expert and he will gladly
give you exact dimensions. Height,
weight neck measurement, width of
shoulders, arms hanging build whe-
Their heavy, medium or slender. face
and chest; full. medium, thin or fat;
cheek bone prominent or ordinary;
width between center of pupils of
eyes looking straight ahead; to hol~
low of shoulder when arm Is held at
right angle position; distance from
first joint of trigger finger to inside
elbow joint when forearm is held to
form right angle with upper arm
and trigger finger extended
Wing shooting is a science that is
mastered only through practice and
plenty of it. A cardinal point to re-
member is to draw your aim well
ahead of the bird, keep the gun NOV
ing until the trigger is pulled.
While rabbit shooting is classed as
an upland pastime, the better brand
of craftsmanship does not use shot
gun. try % calibre rifle and then
a revolver. Anyway. this Is a game
that will loosen up some squeaky vo-
cabulary.
