NATIONAL mMZtU PROTEST Present Rule Impoe a Dlsadvant age Upon Them at to Tlma and Ammunition, Etc, EtcMany Ex pected to berreient WASHINGTON, D. C, October 20,Important change in the pro gram for the National Rifle Matches will probably be made at the next annual meeting of the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice. A number of novel ugges tioni have been advanced, all being intended to relieve the situation in cident to the winning of the first four place in the National Team match by; the teams repreicnting the reg ular service. So much distinction in the rifle world accompanies the win Am of these prize that the differ- into the content with great spirit. The army, navy, and marine corp col lected their most expert markmcn from all quarter and apent months in Meeting and training the teams which Rally represented them. The ; National Guard teams feel that they are at a disadvantage under the pre sent rule, at they are necessarily re stricted both as to time and ammuni tion, while the regular service teams are not. Again, the1 cavalry and in fantry teams which represent the ar my, are chosen from fifty or sixty men who are regularly instructed In marksmanship and whose pay is in creased In proportion to -their ikil with the rifle On; the other hand, such teams as those from Oklahoma, Utah, Ariiona, Wyoming and .other of the States where the National Cuard are numerically weak, are e icciea irom a icw hundred men whose instruction and opportunity to practice are necessarily limited.' In many cases the stale dA-naj posjess ranges of over six hundred yards and yet their teams are compelled to shoot against the cracks of the Army, Na vy, Marine . Corps and of such States as Massachusetts, New 'Jer sey and Ohio, all of which are equip- V ped with excellent ranges, , : The National Guard is as a whole willing and anxious' to fry conclu ion with the army and other service teams, tut' there is a growing desire to see conditions adjusted . so that especially the weaker state will have a better; chance. Among the sugges tiont advancd is that two prizes shall be set aside for the service teams and that four' prizes" shall be distri buted to the National Guard teams, all to shoot at the same time and place and under similar conditions It is understood that this plan is fol lowed in English catches where the volunteers are not expected to cope with the regulars, or the i reserves with either the volunteers or regu lars. Another plan which meets with Considerable favor, provides for di viding the contestants into three di visions, the first two to consist of .seventeen teams each' ad the thrd of the remaidcr. At Camp Perry, Ohio, this year, therewere fifty , teams of twelve men each, entered in the Na lional Match, representing forty five states, and territories, the army, navy and marie corps, and the Naval Aca demy. Under the , proposed . scheme the first seventeen teams would . be entered next summer in the first di vision, the next seventeen in the sec ond division nnd the remaining , 16, with, all new entries, in, the, jthird d vision. Prizes would be offered in each division and there would be. a con stant struggle among the teams in each division and of the teams' to get from the third into the second or the second into the first division. President Roosevelt has again giv en evidncce of His strong interest in rifle practice by t writing letters to .Sergeant .A.Brest,of the 15th U. S: Infantry, Lt. A. D. Rothrock, Ohio National Guard, and to Lieut. S. A. Harris, 14th, U. S. Infantry, congrat ulating them on1 winning the Presi dent's match, the National Individual Match and the Military . Champion ship, respectively, ai the recent na tional rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. The President's match is shot under the rules of the National In- Y dividual Match and the man making the highest combined score wins the military, championship.;. Heretofore the ,. .President generally confiiifli himself to congratulating the winner of the President' match, shot under theuuspieei of the . National " Rifle Association, but this year he wrote to all three mentioned. ; As officer abovethe rank of Cap tain were excluded from the national matches this year by the wording of the appropriation-, act, the; language of President Roosevelt to Lt. Roth rock and Lt. Harris 1 significant. To the former he aid, in parti "It 1 true that as an officer you would not be required in service to use a rifle but your men 'must', all know how to shoot or they are useless on the bit tie line; anJ yoi, f ould not, properly teach them how to shoot unies you had the practical knowledge which only a high class shot can posses." To Lieut. JIarrt, he ( wrote, in part: "It ii with special gratification I write th letter to you, Every ofliccr of our .army should know how to shoot the. rifle. Especially Is this true of those officers who serve with in fantry and, cavalry ,,; ; p' , ILWACO Miss Jennie De Long, of Sioux Ci)y Iowa returned to her home a few days agq after.'- spending the summer wiin ner iincrin-iaw sni.

"I wa in the mok- ing department with ome other trav eling men when one of them went out into the coach and came back and said, There i a woman sick ' unto death in the car.' 1 at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic, her band and aijms were drawn up so you could not, straight en them, and with a death-like look on her face. Two or three ladies were working with ber and giving her whiskey. I went to my suitcase and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without it), ran to the water-tank, put a double dose of the medicine in the glass, poured some water into it and stirred it ' with a pencil; then I had quite a time to get the ladies to let me give it to her, but I succeeded. I could at Once see the effect and I worked with her, rubbing her hands, and in 20 minute I gave her another dose. By this time, we were almost into Le Grande, where I wa to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used in cae another dose should' be needed, but by the time the train ran into Le Grande she was all right, and I re ceived the thanks ot every passenger in the car."

In a memoir recently submitted to the French Academy of Science,' Pro fessor Bouque de la Grye offered a very valuable suggestion that met with a rather favorable consideration. According to this suggestion there wofild have to be created universal signaling posts for transmitting, by the aid of wireless telegraphy, the time corresponding to the meridans of the earth, to vessels sailing on the high sea. A daily signal given out at mid night from the Eiffel Tower would thus transmit the time corresponding to the first meridan to vessels loca ted on the Atlantic and Mediterra nean. Captains would thus be kept posted exactly as to the point on which their vessel happens to be. This, however, would mean a mater ial advance, eliminating any danger, while dispersing with any laboriaus time calculation.
