"Thnt's n sweet running engine, nnd tho vibration is Imperceptible," cotntnented Mrs. Edna E. Chrlstofferson, woman champion revolver shot of the world, as she stepped from the running board of a Chevrolet imperial landau in which the motor was idling, after plentifully puncturing a target at 50 yards.Thisexpcrt markswomnn Is president of the only regular organization of woman revolver shooters in the world. Mrs. Edna E. Chrlstofferson, the voman champion revolver shot of the world, has placed the stamp of her approval on the 192S Chev rolet. "That's a sweet running en sine," was her comment as she stepped from the ninnlnr? board of an im perial landau after making a good average score with her revolver at a distance of 50 yards, tho motor of the car Idling while sle was fir ing. "Tho lhratlon, if any. was imperceptible from the standpoint of a marksman. I believe I could do some good snooting from that car It it were in motion, on a per fectly level pavement." The test to which the Chevrolet was subjected took place on the Clackamas range In Oregon, a few miles from rot Hand. The compe tency of Mrs. Chrlstofferson as a Jutfiie of what constitutes a handi cap in shooting Is manifest when it is stated that she has won her laurels as an expert with the re volver not In competition with her own sex but with the best mate marksmen of the United States and Canada. Most of the matches In which the woman champion hns encaged have been staged in the North- west. In last July, at. the interna tional Individual police shoot nt Victoria, n. C she scored B2 out of a possible GO points, standing sec ond only to Reynolds of tho Seat tle poltce department, whose score was 53. This Is an annual event, and the best score made In previ ous years was 61 points. The en trants were members of the police departments of Victoria and Van couver, B. C., Portland nnd Seattle, the detective stuff 0f the Canadian Pacific railway and the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. She Is the only woman ever participating hi that yearly event. In addition to her ability with a pistol Mrs. Chrlstofferson is a" good organizer and executive. Through her Initiative the Oregon Women's Revolver Club, the first and only regularly organized body of women shooter! in the world, was recently formed. She has in duced the police department ot Portland to sponsor the club's ac- iiMiies, it neing provided with a range and accorded the services. : J- H.
