ably under running water. Then hang 
up to dry. 
If the basket does not come out from 
this treatment of uniform whiteness, as 
it is likely not to as a result of age and 
experience, it is a good plan to color it 
to any desired shade. Either green, 
brown, or yellow gives an acceptable re- 
sult. The washable stains used in wood 
work are very good for this purpose. 
Apply the coloring material with a soft 
camel’s hair brush which should be kept 
constantly saturated with the dye, so that 
it will then penetrate between the rows 
of willow splints and give a uniform 
color. First go over the outside, cover 
and basket; then the inside. And after 
drying — a very rapid process, if the dye 
referred to is used — look carefully for 
any spots, especially on the outside, 
which the dye did not reach sufficiently, 
and touch them up. Hang the basket out 
of doors in a current of air, but under 
shelter, when you finish the drying pro- 
cess, as the dye at first gives off a pe- 
culiarly pungent, acrid odor, which is not 
especially agreeable. This odor becomes 
imperceptible in a few days. 
You will almost need a fresh introduc- 
tion to the old fish basket, after it has 
undergone this metamorphosis. 
THE HARLLEE 
METHOD 
(continued from page 258) 
that some of these ideas may be altered 
to meet the local requirements and limi- 
tations of other rifle clubs. 
We begin by informing the tyro that 
it is very bad form to shoot other people 
or point his gun anywhere except at the 
targets or the blue sky. Then he is 
taught how to load, handle and hold the 
weapon, including the proper use of the 
sling. Next comes sighting and the all 
important matter of squeezing off the 
trigger. All of which is safely and con- 
veniently accomplished by using the Serv- 
ice Dotter at a cost of about two cents 
a hundred shots, and in this manner he 
obtains unlimited practice and a very 
definite idea of how to assume the five 
firing positions. Then he goes to the 
50-foot range where he can use either 
.22 caliber shorts or .177 pellets at ten 
cents a hundred, for we have some man- 
size air rifles that will consistently make 
Vz to % inch groups at that distance, 
really fine weapons with aperture rear 
sights adjustable for windage and eleva- 
tion. From there he goes to the 50-yard 
range where he is put through the 
“Marksman” stage of the Harllee Small- 
bore Course. 
A LL this is nothing more than group- 
ing practice which includes hold- 
ing, sighting, position, timing and 
trigger squeeze, and for this work all 
that is required is an aiming point backed 
by a piece of paper to record the “off 
shots.” We refer to our instruction tar- 
get as the “Hun” because it is drawn to 
represent the head and shoulders of 2 
man rising above a trench a hundred 
yards away, scaled down to 50-feet 25 ^
