They have a mistaken view of the importance of things. They do not know how to take their tasks | “It is not necessary to make every | boy a soldier, but make him soldiesly When you have made him soldierly, you have made him self-reliant, a t! ustaining “When he knows that there is a |i man on either side of him ready to | stand by him and each will do as he Js told to do, he bas confidence to face the emergency. | “But when he Is among hundreds fh of men who like himself do not know what to do, and in case of extremity may not be properly controlled, he will follow his own bent at crucial | moments as will he “When you te: der a gun, you responsibility. 1 an to shoul- 1 to shoulder can be no pos- sible harm from teaching these boys how to shoot with harmless rifles It is all tommy-rot that it will make want to shoot with real guns, pecially when you teach them at e average age of reason, BOYS WHO KNOW HOW TO HAN- DLE GUN THE SAFEST, “Ag a proof of this in New York City the Publlo Schools Athletic League has installed in the different high schools nineteen sub-target gun machines, at which the schoolboys are taught to shoot with a service rifle, “after they ome expert on apparatus (which is used In a room), without firing a cartridge but with the same reault as far as instruction | fs concerned as if an acluai was fired, the boys who can make out of 5 (which shows a very supe- uk rior d rifle ga Thortes of the National Guard regi- ments to practise with .22-calibre ri and ammunition, hOnce a year those who have proved to be expert are taken to the Btate ranve at Peekskill and they practise at 200 yards with the service rifte, Bomo 400 boys usually go up on these occasions who are found to be fully equal, if not superior, shots to the ave national guardsman, al- though they never before handled a service cartridge. “About 5,000 are thus trained every gear in these schools, The number of be ak rat ey ee i \ Gen GEORGE W.

The retail shopping, district has moved north. Great stores, long: considered land- marks, have disappeared, and names once well known in business are fast being for- gotten. The acid test has been rigorously applied, and it has been a period of the survival of the fittest, and more than one supposedly big business has been abandoned. During these three years Bloomingdales’ business has grown and prospered splen- didly. The shifting of the retail shopping center has made Bloomingdales’ more and more a store for everybody, has given it a much greater volume of business and widely in- creased the scope of its usefulness to the com- munity. Merit, hard work, ample the right methods have had much to do with the prosperity enjoyed, and it has been, now is and shall continue to be the policy of the management to make regular customers out of every purchaser if the right merchandise, right prices and the right policy can do so, The business is growing because it deserves to grow. It is impelled by the right methods.

As for the Paris Blouse Styles, they are truly fascinating. One example is Black Ribbon Bow Cravats ortant style feature, as these Cravats of either black motre or the military collars that fasten high at the neck. Very new is the profusion of hand-drawn work, also the design of the collars and wide cuffs, and the new fichu front blouse with a hand-bound scalloped collar.
