By the Associated Press. LONDON, September 16.—Although Ruth’s ancient industry went out of fashion in the United States long ago, for which modern agricultural reap- ing machinery may be praised or Dblamed, there are many places throughout England, where the “gleaner's bell” may still be heard in_these early harvest days. The bell notifies the village folk that they may begin to glean the fields, and a casual passer through vside these days may witness scenes closely akin to the one which Millet's canvas im- mortalizes In the Louvre. The gleaner’'s bell can be heard very near London, in the neighboring village of Farnham, in Essex. It sounds from the church tower at 9 am., and at 5 p.m, as soon as har- vesting is sufficiently advanced for gleaning to be permissible SLAYERS PUT ON TRIAL.

AMP PERRY, Ohlo, September 16.—District guardsmen faced a cold world alone today in the shooting Kgame as they started off as individual competitors in the Leech cup match and the two-rapid fire champlonship matches of the National Rifle Asso- clation. These events constitute the first tests of the proficiency gained in the small arms firing school. The fiftieth anniversary of the odd Leech cup classic is celebrated this year, two sighting shots and seven shots for record being required over the 800, 1.000 yard courses, at & ve. captains’ cup was mysteriously lost years ago and is still missing. The trophy, however, is no more thorouxhly lost than were some of the local boys peering through the fog today at 800 and 900 vards. Corpl. J. C. Wheate had the hardest time, shooting in the dark and missing both sighting shots and four shots for record. His fifth shot was a wide 2. Some neighbor ac- cidentally contributed a bull's-eye and Wheate's final 2 gave him a total of 9 out of @ possible 35. On Saturday, however, Corpl. Wheate was second high man for the team.

When he stepped from a doorway four men fired at him simultaneously. He fell, as did Louis Antol, a waiter, who was hit by a stray bullet. Both are in a critical condition in a hospital. { Antol does not know who shot him dnd De Falco won't tell. “I'll get 'em when I get out” he said.
