justments are secured, the gun may be used, as 
all parts are amply strong so to permit the use 
of the gun in demonstrating. In order to 
secure the dimensions after the proper adjust¬ 
ments have been made, a special measuring device 
has been designed. It is firmly fastened to the 
top rib of the gun by means of locating pins 
and a thumb screw, and a vertical slide, which 
may be moved from one end of the horizontal 
bar to the other, gives the correct drop measure¬ 
ments at any point of the stock. The pitch is 
also read by sliding the vertical slide to the end 
of the stock, and pushing it down across the butt 
plate, swinging it in its bearing so that the slide 
touches the butt at heel and toe. The gradua¬ 
tions on the vertical slide holder are in inches 
and will show the desired pitch of the gun. The 
cast off may be also read by measuring the dis¬ 
tance of center lines, which are on the heel and 
toe of the butt plate, from the end of the vertical 
slide, which is exactly central with the barrels. 
For determining the length of stock, the meas¬ 
uring device is removed from the barrels and is 
used as a pair of beam calipers, a small finger 
attached to the bar being held against the trigger 
and the vertical slide held against the center of 
the butt plate. The horizontal bar is graduated, 
and the length easily and quickly read. 
PLAY DAYS FOR BIG GAME HUNTERS.

ing details of these varied events but there were 
strenuous times on and about Pine Island dur¬ 
ing these beautiful June days long to be remem¬ 
bered by the Camp Fire Club. 
The crowning feature of this outing was 
staged on Saturday evening by the chairman of 
the Entertainment Committee—James L. Clark. 
A motion picture machine and screen had been 
arranged near the main camp fire and new reels 
of an African hunt were shown for the first 
time. Lady MacKenzie, who had just returned 
from this trip with these most successful and 
wonderful moving pictures, loaned them to the 
club. The hair-raising and all but disastrous 
charge of a lion was admitted by all to be the 
greatest example of photography ever depicted 
by the camera in real life in the open.
