SEEK REVENGE

United States riflemen are look
ing forward eagerly to the forth
coming annual Dewar matches be-
tween the United States and Eng
land, with expectations of gaining
revenge on the Britons for the
beating they suffered last Sun
day at BiSley, England.
The DeWar series is the oldest
international rifle event on rec
ord. though since 1919 the course
of fire has been changed. Since
then the BritiShers have sue
ceeded in winning only once, in
1925. The matches are shot by
cable.
The British shot their Dewar
score on July IL, but, accord
ing to the rules. it will not be
made known until after the
Americans shoot theirs. The
United States team will be Sc
lected on August 81 and shoot on
September 6 at Camp Perry.
Sundays match at BisIey,
England, was the tlFSt lnterna-
tiOnal Small-bOre rifle shoulder
tO-shOulder match ever shot, all
others being by cable.
1t was a remarkable exhibition
of craftsmanship, the British
winning by two points, 1927 to
1926, out of 1000 shots.
Fred Johansen, of Joliet, ILL.,,
led the Americans with 397 hits
out of 400, with DR.. Emmett
Swanson, Of Minneapolis, scor-
ing three less. Longhurst and
Morse topped the Britions with
brilliant 397s apiece.
These international matches
between the two nations have be-
come a fixture and will be fired
at BiSley, England. again next
year. They replace the annual
international free-rifle shoots,
which draw many nations, on the
United States rifle program.
The United States withdrew
from the free rifle tests because
it was not a test of skill with
ordinary rifles, the rifles being
equipped with special improve
mentS.

Brazilian Nut Pickers
Victimized by Buyers

The business of gathering brazil
nuts in the Amazon jungles resolves
itself into a skin game for the ma
tiveS concerned when the traders,
who follow the harvest, arrive with
their bOatlOads Of rum and trinkets.
Near a group of huts on the river
bank the trade boat stops, writes
Hugo Franklin in the Boston Tran
script, and there the merchandise
is displayed in an improvised
"store.' The trader sits, like the
spider in its web, behind a battery
of jugs of rum, surrounded by a
few pieces of bright colored goods,
tobacco, bags Of salt, cans of kero-
sene, sometimes even cases of cheap
beer.
The nut pickers could make a
good profit on the long trip up the
river to the nut forests if only they
would shun the trader, but little by
little their crop piles up beside the
store. AT the end of the season
the poor natives owe money to the
traders and, unhappy and penni-
less, offer to pay the debt by help
ing to load the nuts on the boat
and work their way back to civ
iliZatiOn.
