Again the silence of the riflo
r range is broken, but not to the
craqk of rifles, and the splutter of
lead. Jlammqrs qiounding on steel
and wood shattered it, for the rifle
range is undergoing changes and
improvements.
One serious handicap the marks
men had -to contend with last year,
was poor lighting. Looking through
a hole the size of a pin head, at the
little black bulls eye that at the
required distance looks like the end
of a lend pencil, demands that the :
light fall in just ,th£ right quantity
and ,position. 'The slightest trace
of a shadow will often prove de
ceptive to the most eagle eyed
marksman. This trouble is being
remedied by an improvement in the
method of flooding the targets with
light.
Four more targets are beiug»addcd
▼ to the range. tThis brings the num
ber; from eight to twelve, making
possible ■ the accommodation of a
larger squad of aspirants for places
on the team.
Backstops have been greatly im
proved over those of last year. Con
siderable trouble was experienced
: with the bullets splattering off the
.. old type .backstop, often cutting the
\ line holding (the target in .place and
i causing annoyance and delay during
competition and practice.
With a.curled odge on the bottom
and sides, the improved backstops
will send the splattering lead on a
loop-the-loop until it filially looses
momentum sufficiently for gravity
to pull it to the .floor.
Captain C. B. I^ragg, coach of the
rifle team, expressed hope that the
improvements will encourage more
men to turn out for the rifle team
this year. He is especially inter
ested in having a large number of
freshmen turn out to practice, real

izing that from this raw material
he can in all probability develop
marksmen who before the end of
their four year stay in college will
be able to bring honors to Oregon
in rifle team competitions.
Marksipanshap has not received a
great deni of attention at Oregon.
It is not even ratAd as a minor
sport. A Targe majority of eastern
colleges give the rifle team a minor
sport rating. Several largo eastern
colleges, and one in the middle west,
-rate marksmanship as a major sport
and appropriate large sums of money
for prizes and equipment.

America came from Asia originally
but that when they arrived they
found before them a still earlier
people who were for the most part
either wiped out or absorbed by the
immigrants.
These “animal people” seem to be
regarded by the Indians as being
wholly apart. They not only call
them animals but they absolutely
refuse to intermarry with them. Dr.
McGovern pointed out that, the In
dians of that region freely inter
marry with members of other Indian
tribes and their refusal to inter
marry with the “animal people” is
significant.
The Indians capture as many of
these “animal people” as possible
and keep them as slaves. They are

Dr. McGovern said the Indians told;
him that these slaves, although they!
becpme docile, rarely live more than
10 years in captivity.
Slaves Both Dark and Bight
Dr. McGovern made a special ex
pedition into the depths of the un
known lands to see the “animal
people” and believes he is the :first
who has been able to examine them.
His Indian friends allowed him to
measure some newly caught slaves |
and showed him the methods of cap
turing them, die said. Ho found
there were two types of these peo
ple, one very dark and the other a
pale cream color.

THAT’S the telcphonc“Hollo”in Madrid. lit London, it’s“ Are
you there?” -But in many foreign countries, Americans find a
universal language in the telephone salutations. It’s good old ,
“Hello”—a subtle tribute to the fact that the telephone is an
American invention.
And so it is with elevator service. Even though they say“Diga”
in Spain, the architects of the magnificent new Madrid Telephone
Building unhesitatingly said “Otis” because Spain demanded the
last word in elevators. You will find in Madrid the same type of Sig
nal Control Elevators that are now installed in those monumental
telephone buildings in America, in New York, Cleveland, St. Louis
and San Francisco.
