they confess that they often have to
place a light over the target.
Customs of this sort are survivors
of old English archery traditions.
This particular stunt of shooting at a
bit of paper is an adaptation of the
once popular goose round" which
consisted of placing a live goose be-
hind the target, inserting his head
through the bulls eye and shooting
until one of the archers killed the
fowl, after which it became the main
part of a feast which the bowmen en-.
joyed. Humane societies put a stop
to this rather cruel custom, and the
unhurtable Paper goose was substi-
tuted.
The Potomac Archers think they
have the best sport in the world, and
put up a strong argument for archery
as a body builder. They declare every
muscle Is brought into play in the
manipulation of a 50-pound bow. The
game Is said to steady the nerves, de-
velop the lungs and produce broad
shoulders. The drawing of the bow,
the careful aiming and the walking,
or running, back and forth from the
target are enumerated as beneficial
forms of mild exercise, which, Ii in
dulged in wisely, will produce just
the right kind of tired feeling" that
refreshes but does not fatigue.
The upright posture or Stance" of
the archer is the first thing a novice
is taught, and this in itself makes for
athletic development through teach
ing the importance OF good carriage.
Mr. Pratt, one of the Potomac
Archers, has calculated that the en-
ergy expended in discharging go ar
rows at a 40.yard target is equal to,
and much more pleasant than, the
work required to shovel 3 tons of coal.
The local archers have become as
expert in the construction of their
equipment as they are In it's use. They
make their own bows, arrows, bow
strings and targets. The bow string
deal of care is put into its manufac-
ture. Linen or silk Is used, the
threads being worked up In wax into
strong cables and particular kind
of moose woven in at one end. The
construction of the 4-foot targets Is
also q big task. About a bale and a
half of straw goes into the makeup
of each of them. The bulls eye and
it's surrounding circles are painted on
oil coverings.
Once It Is made, the archery
tackle" requires as much care as a
machine. Bows must be unstrung
when not in use 30 as to preserve
their snap. All equipment must be
protected from moisture, as the Pc.
aomacs learned early this Summer
when a rainy spell resulted In an
epidemic of broken bows.

White House ever loved flowers more
than does this lovely woman. She
goes about them with almost q child
ish happiness and enthusiasm. Her
charming smile is never more radiant
than when she is darting about the
flower beds. and there are innumerable
beds and gardens scattered about the
grounds of White Pine Camp. She
enjoys watering the flowers and other
wise caring for them. She likes also
personally to do the cutting or those
flowers that are to be placed about
the cabins. There is a little Alpine
rock garden at one end OF the camp
grounds which was revelation to
her when she espied IL. 1t is an In
formal spot, and. while 1t is not large
in area, 1t contains So varieties OF
flowers not generally grown in private
gardens. There is, fortunately, an ex-
ceptionalIy skilled gardener at the
camp-Frank Huette, a Frenchman-
and already he is one of the most
popular and important personages
about the camp. During her spare
moments Mrs. Coolidge invariably
knits or crochets. She has little time
for reading or lounging.
The evening meal at the camp Is
at o'clock. Corresponding with the
meals preceding it, it is a man-uzed
affair. all of which would indicate
that the President at least is hearty
eater. The way he describes 1t, he
likes a comfortable meal.
Not caring much for motoring, the
President and Mrs. Coolidge do not
drive about the countryside after the
evening meal. as is the custom ia
Washington and other cities In
fact, they rarely go driving. Neither
appears to care for it, and the several
big White House cars which have
been brought to the camp are used
only as agencies of transportation.

he learned, no women in the District
who shoot regularly. However, one OF

taken up the sport and secured the
services of Mr.. CARRIER as coach for
the coming season.
Mr.. CARRIER will also go to Philadel-
phia in August to represent Washing
ton in the national matches which are
part of the Sesquicentennialp program.
The event Is being staged largely
through the efforts of DIR. *. L. Elmer
of Wayne, Pa, who has held the
American championship more often
than any other one man. DIR. Elmer
has arranged to have famous archerS
from all parts. of the world, including
East Indian and South American ma.
tives, exhibit their skill at the Sesqui
tournament, which\ will be one OF the
biggest ever staged. The matches Will
last two days. Each man will shoot

ship round--consisting of 144 arrows a.

target shooting. He tells an amusing
anecdote in connection with one Oh
his hunting trips in a nearby state.
He had spent the day in the helos
and woods and had Jagged a few
rabbits and quail. On his way home
he encountered a warden who asked
to see his license and gun. Declar'
ing he had neither, Mr.. CARRIER pro-
duced q letter from the chief game
warden of the State announcing that
in so far as firearms were specihed
in the law requiring hunting IL
cense, and as the bearer did not IN
tend using. them, he would not nave
to get one. There was AZ postscript
to the effect that the game warden's
office thought there was little danger
of Mr.. CARRIER hitting anything any
way. Upon reading the letter the
warden commented that he had met
many men that day with both IL
censes and high-powered guns, but no
game, who would probably feel pretty
cheap" If they learned of a man VINO
had gone out with nothing but a
stick and at least brought nome
enough for supper"
The extent of Mr.. CARRIERS love for
the sport can be gathered from his
statement that, though many prefer
the waltzes of Wagner or the etudes
of Liszt, to me there's no sweeter
music in all the world than the sound
of the arrow landing squarely in the,

Aunt Marcia wrote that she would
expect Helene as usual, from the

that the other girls who always came
