Air Pistol 
ISTOL target shooting at small cost 
and without danger or noise is 
what the newest air pistol on the mar- 
ket offers. It is of good workmanship, 
accurate, straight shooting, and _ re- 
liable. Also, no license is required, 
which is a great convenience, as all 
owners of firearms know. 
In designing this gun, all precautions 
have been taken to make it safe in the 
hands of the marksman. It is impos- 
sible for the pistol to go off at un- 
expected times; when in open position 
the action is locked, and it cannot pos- 
sibly be discharged. When the air 
pistol is closed, or after firing, it is also 
impossible to open it until it is first 
cocked. A device insures safety: a 
sliding ring on the movable barrel. 
This air pistol uses ammunition which 
costs very little compared to explosives, 
making it practicable to. shoot.a good 
part of the day (in your home if the 
weather is bad) at a minimum of ex- 
pense. The gun shoots BB shot, pellets, 
darts, and a special shot made by the 
manufacturers of the gun. 
HE gun resembles a firearm and is 
trim, sturdy, and well finished. 
There are no non-essentials or decora- 
tions—it is a good little air pistol for 
short range shooting in the home or 
about the house. A a means of keep- 
ing in practice it should prove a valu- 
able and practical adjunct to the 
sportsman. 
Trapper Jim 
By EDWYN SANDYS 
HERE is the lad of school age 
who has not at instant command 
a bushel basketfull of questions con- 
cerning the woods, waters, and ways of 
wild creatures? 
What are muskrats and how can I 
trap them? How can I mount birds? 
There are some fish in the river and 
they never seem to bite. They’re about 
a foot long, shiny white and they have 
red fins. What are they and how can 
I catch them? 
These questions are only a sample. 
All boys are hungry for information 
and the real measure of a book’s worth 
is its capacity to teach. If it enter- 
tains, besides, then it is a valuable 
volume, indeed. 
“Trapper Jim” is exactly of this 
character and it should be owned by 
everyone having growing boys in the 
family. 
It contains 441 pages and is well il- 
lustrated with many helpful line draw- 
ings showing how traps, fishing tackle 
and other outdoor equipment may be 
made. 
Published by the MacMillan Co. 
Price, $1.25. 
Obtainable from the FOREST AND

ae know they can depend upon du 
Pont powders—every time. With du Pont 
you get greater effective range, better penetra- 
tion, more even spread of shot. 
Du Pont powders are standard. There is no ‘‘just as 
good as du Pont.’’ For 123. years du Pont has held the 
leadership in powder manufacture. 
Du Pont powders are loaded in all standard makes of 
shells. For heavy loads—when you are going after 
large ducks, geese, brant, turkey and grouse—ask for 
shells loaded with DU PONT OVAL—the new powder 
that is from 10% to 15% mote effective than any other 
powder on the market. For medium and light loads 
shoot the old standbys, DU PONT (bulk) or BALLIS- 
TITE (dense). Your dealer will supply you.
