However, with improved pieces and ammunition other teams likewise shot higher scores than ever before. Machine-loaded ammunition was used considerably at the matches and many believed it superior to that loaded by hand, which was formerly used. A new model rifle, which had as its chief difference a pistol grip, ‘was another innovation at the shoot. Aside from landing 25th place, the 12 North Dakota men won an array of medals and prize money before en- tering the national team match, clos- ing event of three weeks of competi- 5 tion. In the field were 113 teams com- posed of the best shots in the coun- try. North Dakota's team was coached by Adjutant General G. A. Fraser, now one of the veterans in point of years among Camp Perry attendants. High man on the team was Frank Dvorak, Headquarters company, Far- go, a student at the North Dakota Agricultural college. In a field of 680 contestants he placed fourth in the chemical warfare match.

Minot, N. D. Sept. 28.—James Vol- ker, Iowa farm youth, who will be 21 years old next Oct. 13, must remain confined in the state training school at Mandan until he is 23 years old, because he stole a pocketbook con- taining $30. Judge John C. Lowe imposed the sentence in district court, after Vol- ker had entered a plea of guilty to a charge of grand larceny, and the youth has been taken to the Mandan school by Deputy Sheriff R. L. Dierdorff. Volker was recently returned to Minot by Sheriff W. E. Slaybaugh from Elbow Lake, Minn., where he was apprehended at the request of Ward county authorities. John Albert, Ryder ycuth, signed the complaint against Volker, alleging that he had stolen the money and pocketbook from trousers in his bed- * ek The plan to fly the L-72 to the United States was the subject of censiderable debate in the Zeppelin councils. Since the government had not claimed the ship it was back on} their hands, perhaps the best use to, make of it was to give one real dem-! onstration of the progress of Zep-| pelins, Airships had flown through every | conceivable kind of weather. The LZ-59 had shown the endurance and tremendous cruising range that could be expected.
