and most proficient shots could make lit¬ 
tle impression upon the British and Ger¬ 
man “tanks”; however, though the latter 
may wallow over trenches and other irreg¬ 
ularities successfully, they are not built to . 
negotiate the Atlantic Ocean. 
When a revolver shot like Mr. C. M. Mc- 
Cutcheon of Denver accomplishes the re¬ 
markable stunt of making five target hits 
at the almost incredible speed of three-fifths 
of a second (timed by a stop-watch) with 
a Smith & Wesson 38-40 5-shot revolver, it 
would seem that the demonstration of well- 
developed co-ordination had been well ac¬ 
complished.

ANY OLD KENTUCKY RIFLES? 
Editor Forest and Stream : 
Will you be kind enough to advise me 
where I can purchase an old long-barreled, 
brass mounted, muzzle loading, Kentucky 
rifle, to be used for a decorative purpose? 
I will greatly appreciate any information 
you can give me on this subject. I under¬ 
stand some of these rifles are still being 
used in the mountains of North Carolina 
and Tennessee, but I have been unable to 
locate one of them.

[We have your favor of February 17 rel- j 
ative to a Kentucky rifle. There are a good 
many of these old guns in existence and 
a short advertisement in the “want” col¬ 
umns of Forest and Stream will put you 
in communication with the men who have 
them for sale, or who will tell you where 
you can get one. The writer picked up a 
beautiful old weapon in North Carolina 
about six years ago, that he would not let 
go for a good deal, and feels sure you 
would be able to do likewise.] 
REVOLVER CARTRIDGE LOADING. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
The Hercules Powder Company has made 
some tests and informs me that it won’t 
do to load the .38 S. & W. bullet and pow¬ 
der into a %-inch shell. Not more than 
two grains of Bull’s-eye powder should 
be used with the heavy bullet in this shell- 
This raises an interesting question: 
whether in general quick-burning dense 
powder must have the same air space as 
the bulky black powder it replaces. 
But if we must keep this long cartridge 
as it is, perhaps something can be done to 
straighten up the mess of the other .38 
cartridges. Why is the diameter of the 
pocket revolver chamber larger than that of 
the heavy revolvers? The bullets are the 
same in diameter. If they were made the 
same, couldn’t one short cartridge, with 
inside lubrication and a flat base, be used 
in both pistols?

REMEDY FOR DANDRUFF.

I have a black cocker spaniel that has a

with all kinds of soap, and two hours after 
washing him you can scrape it loose from

Being stronger than other 
tires, they last longer, go 
farther, serve more loyally, 
cost less in the end. 
Being more flexible, they 
ride easier, travel faster, use
