the heel, with a length of pull of 14 to 
14^ inches. The straight-gripped guns, 
especially if they are doubles or repeat- 
ers that can be gripped close to the 
breech by the left hand, will feel more 
comfortable and will point better if the 
stocks are made a bit longer and also a 
trifle straighter than the measurements 
usually called for on pistol-grip guns. 
The reason is that the stocks are held 
differently in the right hand and the 
weapons seem to balance in a different 
manner. 
Guns with different types of mechan- 
ism all seem to have a balance and an 
individuality all their own, and, there- 
fore, the best way to be fitted with your 
favorite type and make of trap-gun is 
to circulate around a bit at any trap club 
and by measurment and trial determine 
which of the lengths and drops and 
other dimensions seem to fit you the 
best. 
Almost any of the standard styles can 
be used by the average man, but the lit- 
tle details that cost no more and which 
seem to give a chosen weapon most of 
its individuality are quite often the 
things that put an 85 per cent, shooter 
into the 95 per cent, class and turn an 
indifferent club member into a real 
shooting enthusiast. 
It is only natural to want to see the 
pieces fly. Therefore, any little effort 
spent on fitting the gun and load to the 
shooter or in fitting the shooter to his 
gun, which is merely the result of plenty 
of practice, is an effort put forth in the 
right direction.

black. Sometimes the white weasel has a 
yellowish stain during winter and does 
not turn pure white. The animal is the 
. smallest of all carnivorous animals. It is 
bold and fearless, and no other animal is 
, quite so blood-thirsty. It is a tireless 
‘ and determined hunter, follows its prey 
I by scent and kills for the mere joy of 
killing, often leaving its kill uneaten. 
When plenty of game is to be had, it 
sucks only the warm blood. 
The weasel in a hen roost is a terror. 
I It will kill poultry right and left, regard- 
Ips of noise or danger, sucking only a 
little blood from each. It is a great 
i traveler and goes for miles in a single 
night. They den in a hollow stump or 
the roots of trees. They also take pos- 
session of rabbits’ burrows, killing the 
; occupants. They bring forth two or three 
i' litters of young each year and from four 
|i to eight in a litter. 
ij The otter has a long, heavy body, short 
legs, small webbed feet, long tail tapering 
I', to a point, almost as thick at the base of 
the body as the body itself. It has a 
small, roundish head, and short ears. Its 
colors vary by localities from light chest- 
i nut brown to rich dark brown, almost 
black, with soft, greyish under-fur. The 
animal is aquatic, living in and near

Can’t Stop This Motor 
It doesn’t look rauch like other rowboat motors 
you’ve seen. Neither did the tanks used in the 
war look like the fighting machines you saw in 
the past. They were designed to meet certain 
conditions — to climb in and out of shell holes 
where no other fighting machines dared ven- 
ture. The Caille 
JAh&eiy JDriv& 
ROWBOtar MOTOR 
is designed to go through weeds like an eel where no 
other rowboat motor would have a ghost of a chance. 
And it does it. Has been doing it for three years. It’s not 
an untried novelty. The Caille Liberty Drive Motor 
pivots both up and down and sidewise. The propeller 
automatically rises over obstructions and yet keeps the 
boat going while tilted. Does not spill gasoline when 
tilted. Will drive boat in shallowest water. Can run way 
up on beach when landing. 
And it’s so easy to operate. Has motorcycle control. 
You steer the boat, regulate its speed and tilt the motor 
— all with a twist of your right wrist. It’s not a weak, 
feather-weight motor. But it’s easily carried. Furnished 
with magneto built in flywheel or batter>' ignition. Price 
with batteries, 375.00. Send for catalog showing complete 
Caille line of rowboat motors.
