Interscholastic Rifle Shooting. 
The appro?.ching end of the League matches continues 
to show a great improvement in the scores. The four¬ 
teenth match, shot last week, resulted in Deering High 
School, of Portland, Me., turning in a record score of 
968, the best so far made by any school boy rifle team 
in this country. 
The Iowa City team, which is tied for Deering for 
first place, made the excellent score of 951, while the 
Baltimore Polys made a score of 950. 
The high individual score for the week was made by 
J. Millard Hughey, of Deering, with a total of 198 out 
of a possible 200. 
Next week will close the League matches for 1912. 
It looks as if Deering and Iowa City will have to shoot 
off the tie for the championship. 
The results of last week’s matches are as follows: 
Deering High School, 968, defeated Manual Training, of 
Washington, 886; Iowa City High School, 951, defeated 
Central High, of Philadelphia, 880; Baltimore Poly¬

PLANNING A HOUSEBOAT 
Houseboating has come among us to stay, and promises to be even more 
popular than in England itself. Every one who is interested in houseboats or 
who contemplates taking up this feature of outdoor life, should read Mr. Albert 
Bradlee Hunt’s practical, and, at the same time, beautiful work on the house¬ 
boat and its adaptation to American waters. 
Houseboats and Houseboafing 
Covers the entire range of its title, considers the use and opportunities of the 
houseboat; their relation to city and suburban life; construction, furnishing, 
motive power, and all the thousand and one details, the knowledge of which 
spells the difference between success and failure in houseboat building and 
houseboat life. 
Details, plans, drawings and specifications illuminate the text, while life on 
houseboats is interestingly described. Some of the more noted English and 
American houseboats and the life thereon are also described at length, with 
illustrations. Buckram, heavy paper, sumptuously illustrated. 
Postpaid, $3.34.

THE ANGLER*S WORKSHOP 
Rodmaking tor Beginners 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
Not only Americans, but anglers of Great Britain and nearly every European State, 
South Africa, Australia, Canada, are making their fishing rods under the simple instruc¬ 
tions laid down by the author in this useful little manual. A Japanese, after reading the 
book, took up rod repairing for his fellow countrymen as a business. An Englishman 
followed it in making several of the sixty-five rods that he has in his collection. A 
Russian appreciated the book so much that he suggested a Russian translation. The 
British sportsmen’s papers have quoted from it time and time again. In that country it 
has helped bring about a great change in rod types, and to attract attention to the ex¬ 
cellence of American fishing rods. In fact, “Rodmaking for Beginners” has become the 
standard manual wherever fishing with rod and reel is practiced. 
The reason is obvious. The book is written in plain English, and all the details are 
set down so simply that a boy can follow them. All of the types of rods used on fresh 
and salt water are described and specifications given. Separate chapters cover all details, 
and the one on split cane rodmaking is the only comprehensive treatise on that subject 
ever published. 
Cloth, i8o pages, four full-page illustrations, 6o working drawings, making plain every 
feature of the text. Postpaid, $i.
