advantage of the new law authorizing the free 
issue of rifles and ammunition. 
The competition in which the greatest interest 
is being taken is that for the civilian club cham¬ 
pionship. There are so many dubs competing 
in this match that it became necessary to divide 
them into classes after the manner of the national 
matches held annually. The twelve clubs that 
lead in the 1914 competition will he in Class A 
for the 1915 matches. So as to avoid delay in 
issuing the report of the result of the weekly 
matches for the press, all clubs west of the Miss¬ 
issippi river will shoot one week in advance of 
those east of that territorial division- The west¬ 
ern clubs will begin their matches the week end¬ 
ing December 17th and the eastern clubs the 
week following. 
Up-to-date very few of those clubs that have ex¬ 
pressed their intention of taking part in this na¬ 
tional competition have made their official entry, 
and a vast amount of detail work must be done 
preliminary to the beginning of the matches in 
arranging and publishing the schedules and in 
preparing the targets. For this reason, entries 
should be sent in as early as possible. Among 
the new dubs which have already entered may 
be mentioned the Buffalo, N. Y., Rifle Club; 
the Kane, Pa., Rifle Club, and the Detroit, 
Mich., Rifle and Revolver Club. As only provi¬ 
sions have been made for three divisions of 
twelve dubs each, or 36 clubs all together, some 
clubs who are late in getting in their entry will 
be left out in the cold, as entries will be refused 
when 36 clubs have entered. 
New clubs are being organized and affiliated 
with the N. R. A. in large numbers. Within the 
last three weeks the following dubs have been 
elected to membership: 
Belleville, Ill., Rifle & Revolver Club; Chey¬ 
enne, Wyo., Rifle and Revolver Club; Plevna, 
Montana, Rifle Club; Augusta, Ga., Rifle Club; 
Battle Creek, Mich., Rifle and Revolver Club; 
Fort Wayne, Ind., Rifle Club; Portsmouth-Nor- 
folk, Via., Rifle Club, and Middletown, N. Y., 
Rifle Club. It will be noted that the above dubs 
are representative of the entire country, showing 
to what extent the interest has grown in rifle 
club shooting now that the Government has 
offered some assistance. Some complaints are 
being received about the inaccuracy of the ammu¬ 
nition which the Government is issuing under 
the recent act of Congress. The Ordnance De¬ 
partment is not to blame for being compelled to 
issue such ammunition which has been loaded 
for twelve or fourteen years, as this is the only 
ammunition on hand for the Krag rifle, the Gov¬ 
ernment having discontinued the manufacture of 
this kind of ammunition for over twelve years. 
When the ammunition on hand is expended, it 
will be necessary for Congress to make an ap¬ 
propriation for the Krag rifles for the use of 
rifle clubs, and no doubt an effort will be made 
to get such an appropriation during the next ses¬ 
sion of Congress. An effort will also be made 
to interest Congress in the great need for the 
construction of rifle ranges wfliich can be thrown 
open to rifle dubs throughout the country. 
Until such action is taken, the Government will 
never receive adequate returns from the issue of 
Krag rifles to rifle clubs, neither will the move¬ 
ment be of such magnitude as to really be a con¬ 
siderable asset to the national defense.

This is Your Book! 
It’s about a wonderfully Interesting hobby — the ex¬ 
perimental study of arms and ammunition—the loading and 
reloading ol rifle, pistol and shotgun cartridges. 
Many shooters know very little about guns and cartridges 
until they get the Ideal Hand Book. Then they And the 
modern metallic cartridge is a surprisingly simple 
thing — a high grade brass shell, primer, powder and a 
bullet, the shell crimped on to the bullet to hold it in place. 
They find the strongly 
and perfectly made empty 
shell (the principal item 
of expense) can be reload¬ 
ed from 10 to 30 times 
each. The book tells ex¬ 
actly what primer, bullet 
and powder charge to use; 
It is easy to reload; you 
can reload 100 car¬ 
tridges in half an hour. 
You cutyour ammunition 
expense immensely; fac¬ 
tory .32-40 H. P. car¬ 
tridges with jacketed 
bullets usually cost $3.42 
net per 100; reloaded 
same as new, you save 
$2.07 on 100 cartridges- 
rnrr The Ideal Hand Book tells all about the powders, 
r IvUCi t> u iiets, primers and Ideal reloading tools to use; 
tells how bullet moulds are made—how to east your own 
bullets—measure powders—how to save money and do better 
shooting. 160 pages of information every shooter needs.

from rifle clubs is in excess of previous years. 
This probably is owing somewhat to the fact 
that the new course is confined to 600 yards and 
it is more easily followed out than the former 
course, which required ranges up to 1,000 yards. 
Many clubs are reporting the arrival of rifles 
and ammunition on requisition under the new 
law. These clubs must bear in mind that they 
are to keep accurate record of the expenditure 
of the ammunition and report the result of such 
issue to the N. R. A. 
P. S. A. L. SUB-TARGET SHOOTING. 
New York, Nov. 16. 
Preliminary practice having been indulged in 
since the opening of the high schools, the first 
stages of the sub-target tournament are now 
under way. Teams will meet on Friday, repre¬ 
senting Bay Ridge and Boys, Commercial and 
Manual Training, Jamaica and Erasmus Hall, 
Flushing and Bushwlck of Division A, and 
Eastern District and Commerce, Curtis and Clin¬ 
ton, Stuyvesant and Morris, and Richmond Hill 
and Bryant of Division B teams, the contests in 
each case taking place at the schools first named. 
The date for the next competition has been 
changed from Saturday, Nov. 21, to Friday, 
Nov. 20. 
Practically 1,100 boys have participated in the 
preliminaries for the selection of the teams 
representing the different schools under the 
direction of the Public Schools Athletic League. 
These interschool contests are for the handsome 
placque, “Minute Men of the Revolution,” pre¬ 
sented by Harry Payne 'Whitney, and will he con¬ 
cluded Dec. 18, at weekly intervals, by which 
time a team from each school shall have met 
that from every other school in each division. 
Outside of its use for fence posts, black locust 
finds its principal utilization in insulator pins and
